I love the Michael Jackson Conspiracy Book by Aphrodite Jones; Someone finally had to come forward to let people know about what a travesty it was against Michael and he's the real victim here. I'm so glad the author shows what really transpired about the people who were so greedy in his life. It needed to be written; there is too much negativity about this warm, giving, loving, kind and gentle musical genius. The truth is finally here! I'm so glad Ms. Jones had the insight and the courage to write this book - I would recommend to any Michael fan, and non-fans would be enlightened too! Thank you.

A must-read for anyone who cared about Michael Jackson. A very informative read for anyone else. A real eye-opener regarding what the so-called "news" shows will do for a buck, and how they were willing to exploit the famous and mislead the public to feed their own greed. Of particular shock was Jones's assertion that the media wanted Mr. Jackson to be convicted, regardless of guilt, because they had already made lucrative deals to report sensational stories of his incarceration. I'll never believe a word they say again.

Fairly well written. A little heavy on Jones's opinions of how other people felt. But mostly, just plain INTERESTING.

I have read several books regarding michael, I do hope everyone buys this book, so well written and seems to be a fair outlook on the trial. He sure didn't deserve all that has happened in his lifetime. He will always be remembered, to not just an entertainer, but as a good man.Shame on the media!Great job to the author and his lawyer, who has always stuck by hom, well written!

What I learned from this book? Though I have always held firm to my belief that Michael Jackson was innocent of the disgusting accusations (both in 1993 and in 2005), this book laid it all out for me in plain ink. What a gross misuse of California taxpayers' money this trial was, and I commend Tom Mesereau for his fantastic job as the head of Michael's defense team. This book needs to be read by anyone who was ever swayed by the media's misrepresentation of Jackson and the trial, by anyone who had painted him as a sick child molester. What he really was was a good man who had a deep concern for the well being of children. The Arvizos sought him out and because of Jackson's good heart, he helped them in any way possible, including helping out with Gavin's cancer treatments. If you are still unsure of what to think of Jackson himself, please strongly consider the testimonies of Macauley Culkin, Wade Robson, Jay Leno, and Chris Tucker. These people laid it all on the line and told it like it really was- something the media never did. This is a very important book and it needs to be taken seriously. Congratulations and my heartfelt thanks go to Aphrodite Jones for writing this book - she took a chance and wrote something that was pro-Jackson in an era when that was simply not done.

Michael Jackson Conspiracy by Aphrodite Jones will answer your questions as to what was actually going on the court room during the 2003 allegations against Michael Jackson. Ms. Jones will give you the untarnished truth on how the American media and persons unknown conspired to bring down the greatest Humanatarian of our life span. She brings the light to all of the lies that were meant to destroy the greatest talent there has ever been. Michael Jackson is and will remain a beloved individual in the hearts of all of his millions of fans and Ms. Jones shows you some of the reasons we love Michael Joseph Jackson so strongly.

This lady was one of the media 'HELL PACK' that made Princess Diana's life hell and also Michael Jackson. She attended the trial expecting to find a monster being punished for his crimes and instead found herself horrified at the complete disregard for the truth that was reported by her colleagues in the media. She came to realise that there was a conspiracy afoot and that an innocent man was to pay the price for not giving the press the scandal and filth that pays their wages and sells the cheap tabloid newspapers. Following the trial, realising that the media had no intention of printing even a modicum of truth, of giving an innocent man a chance to resume his life, she contacted Thomas Mesereau, Michael's lawyer. He dismissed her as just another tabloid freak for quite a while, but eventually started to listen to her and so the quest for the truth to be told was born. It is now 2010, five years after Michael was aquitted and we, the fans are fighting hard now. We have in our possession, personal statements, FBI documents etc etc and we are determined now - should it take the rest of our lives - that we will see this tabloid media and other racist haters brought to their knees, Bashir and Tom Sneddon included - we will not rest until a full apology is made for Michael and his family and we urge everyone who is still in full possession of their senses and has not been brainwashed with Illuminati New World Order propaganda, to read this book and decide for themselves, who is telling the truth. Then please question what else they are telling you - each and every day ??????????????????/
Thank you Amazon for selling this amazing book - please read for yourselves and then research the facts - you will then have no need to listen to the paid 'haters' in this world who target every social network and every site trying to poison you against free speech and free thought.

As much as I have been dying to read books on Michael Jackson, I have been very careful in choosing which book I purchase. I am NOT interested in supporting those authors who claim to have the "scoop" on the truth about MJ. I certainly don't want my mind muddled with false information or personal opinions that have no factual standing, whatsoever, or out-of-context factoids just so these writers can make money at the expense of MJ's reputation. It's just not right. The only other book I purchased was the "Michael Jackson Tapes" by Rabbi Schmuley only because it would be the words of Michael Jackson, himself. Even with that book I was not impressed because Schmuley has to put his two-cents worth into everythig Michael had to say and shroud Michael's words with Schmuley's own opinions and intentions.

Anyway, about this book, "Michael Jackson Conspiracy", I am very glad to have read a book that deals with FACTS. I took a chance and purchased it based on other people's comments, and I say it's worth reading! Personally, I NEVER believed all the crap that has been said about MJ. Even when the Bashir interview aired, right then I said to my husband, I actually believe Michael and completely agree with his views that there's nothing wrong with kids sharing a bed if it's innocent, the way that he described it. In that interview I could truly sense his sincerity and honesty in what he was saying and how he was saying it. This world is so darn hippocritical that we (the media especially) are quick to find fault in others and sensationalize it and take it out of context. I'm sure one could have a field day on the numerous things that we say and do every day that can easily be misconstrued to make us look like criminials when, in fact, we're not. Anyway, that's my opinion, and this book is wonderful in that it describes the numerous innacuracies of the accusers' testimonies, their disagreeable conduct, and so much more, so that for the readers out there who like to base their opinions on facts, this book will certainly lay out for you what the media did NOT and will probably never want you to know!

It disgusts me so very much how the media is like a petri dish that starts as a nasty little bacteria that continues to grow until it's out of control. They purposely and greedily misconstrue issues, don't give you the correct circumstances from which it came, nor do they give you ALL the facts! It sickens me that the media was always waiting breathlessly in court for anything that they could leak out to the public that would make Michael Jackson look bad. This books reveals how they couldn't do that - Thank you Ms. Jones and Mr. Mesereau.

This is the book to read if you want to know what really happened in the trial. Aphrodite Jones uses real court transcripts in this amazing and 100% true book. i will thank Aphrodite Jones so much for writing this book and Tom Mesereau whom i have great respect for. as you read it you will also see how the great Michael Jackson became the victim of a money greedy family and a slandering media but in the end justice was served. May God bless you Michael Jackson, Aphrodite Jones, Thomas Mesereau and all the other people who always believed in MJ's innocence.

I have almost finished this book. It is very well written and researched and entirely taken from the court transcripts, evidence and documents.

It is a TRAVESTY what happened to Michael Jackson. No person should endure what he did. This book explains it all.

The world needs to wake up and realise how they were lied to and manipulated by the media into believing he was a child molester. The man was the furthest thing from this that anyone could possibly be.

The media had BIG money resting on him being found guilty. When he wasn't they slunk away without any apology or explanation as to what really happened and continued to perpetuate the LIE to the public that he was a pedophile. Those people should hang their head in shame. WAKE UP.....we are being lied to and manipulated ALL the time by the media for their own selfish, greedy purposes and Michael Jackson, a gifted and talented singer, dancer, song writer and Director was a casualty of their agenda.

Michael Jackson endured this public slaughtering with courage, grace, dignity and strength as you would expect.

I recommend everyone who wants to learn about the truth of what really happened to Michael Jackson read this book. It will open your eyes to alot of things.

Perhaps he will be back to seek his revenge one day!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This book was very good. Very fair, but I never believed how the media portraited Michael Jackson in the first place. More people should read this book for the truth.

This book is factual and we are spared some of the more brutal details.
Aphrodite Jones by her own admission says she reported in a negatively biased manner in Jackson's previous dealings with Jordy Chandler, the first person to acuse Michael Jackson of child molestation. Michael Jackson seems to attract negative media and it seemed it would be difficult for him to get a fair trial. Somehow Aphrodite Jones must have felt the 'guilts' and seen the injustice of this reporting in the media by herself and other journalists, so decided to do something about it. She actually had to self publish as no-one wanted to publish a pro-Jackson book about this trial. Tom Mesereau, leader of the Defence team has written a forward in this book and said up to date, this is the truest account of what really happened in this trial.
The title of the book Conspiracy is so apt. Conspiracy on which level? How did this trial even get to court? I do not live in the USA and do not work in any legal field, however it is glaringly obvious that the Prosecution's case was very contrived and based on weak evidence. You do not have to be Einstein to see this. What a waste of taxpayers money (I believe the cost of the trial was massive) and time for all concerned. There was nothing positive in this for anyone. What drove this, one has to ask?
The book can be seen to be pro-Jackson as it shows how injustices can be perpetrated by the law. It also can be seen to be heartening as it is the little people-the jury, who have the final say. Various pictures in the book are good also.

This is well worth the read and brings up a lot of questions about a fair trial and the obtaining of justice.

One thing I have learned recently after a friend of mine's misfortune revealed in public and after I read " Michael Jackson Conspiracy" is,
THE MEDIA CAN NOT BE TRUSTED!!!!!

It is very sad,for the sake of selling their paper and web viewing, they like to put " dirt "as much as possible when they report something like this.

Most of them just hide behind their key board and try to think every lewd words to put in their articles, especially when it involved with celeb, women,and sex.
The newspaer is not as bad as those internet websites, some of them is just plain terrible.
They gave me the impression some of the journalists themselves are just cads.

I'm from GERMANY, please indulgence for my english

RECIPE OF THE PROSECUTION
For this really mad and lunatic presecution you have to take as much as you can from the collection of the same people who were even 1993 at work - the same lawyer, same psychologist, same DA-attorney, same greedy and characterless journalists, same childhearted, trustful and over all naive superstar-victim and you have only to change the accuser: liars and money-greedy people who are ready to testify even under oath the very untruth are find easily.

TIME-LINE
You have to present a very unbelievable time-line: after the Bashir-doku, when the accusers mother wanted to claim Bashir, it turned suddenly into an accusation of Michael. Unfortunately the accusers childern had testified to a children welfare employee that there was no wrongdoing. The rebuttal-video showed nothing else. Oh yes, Michael is so stupid, that he begins to molest the child exactly after the Bashir-doku, when his assistents and surely he himself wanted to counterbalance the damage of his reputation. He was kidnapping the Arvizos and they were driven with the rolls-royce of MJ to cosmetic treatments and to a dentist and to a big store.

They had much fun during the records of the rebuttal-video (shown in the outtakes/ DVD Larry Nimmer).

NOT ENOUGH
the criminal past of the accuser was tried to be hushed by the prosecution, but the totally ethic Tom Mesereau (one time in his life Michael had great luck !!!) could partially prevent this.
The family had gained much money by betraying the JC Penney, had betrayed the Welfare Fond, had betrayed some celebrities as Chris Tucker......

EVEN NOT ENOUGH
it was allowed to present witnesses who wanted to have watched Michael molesting Robe Wadson, Brett Barnes, Macauley Culkin. These young men weren't asked by the prosecutors !!! This was the first time, Mesereau experienced such proceeding in trial.

THE BOOK
surely provides true information, well written. Samey how much mistakes or missing pictures there. A book which tries to provide the truth concerning Michael is rare enough. So it is to be forgiven, that A.Jones had taken a pro-Jackson style of writing: she had to reproce her own guilt by prejusticing Michael and put slam over him before.
You can find this true information in the transcripts of the trial.

very interesting the informations from outside the courtromm, description of behaviour of Michael, mostly interpretations of observers but that's o.k.

I recommend this book completely with 5 stars, because the courage and the sincerity should be honored.
Michael would have deserved much MUCH more of these books to have a chance to maintain his legacy even or more than ever after his death.

I wish this book went further and gave the reader more. Nothing written about Michael Jackson could be anything by sensational, so why did the author make such a thin book. I bet there are alot of people that read this book and wanted more;especially as they realized the pages were all almost gone. Very little detail into the trial material that it set out to cover. If Michael Jackson had 60 or 80 witnesses for the defense why only give us the testimony of so few. This book was only okay. It was a little disorganized. It seems like the author got tired of writing it before it was done. Being the only book out there seeming to give the details of Michael Jackson's the trial, it seems a missed opportunity because so much more detail could have been given.

I recommend this book to everyone! It is truly an honest look at what went on in the courtroom during the trial of MJ in 2005, what was said and how all the involved parties acted, from the attorneys to the witnesses, to judge and jury. As Ms. Jones stated, if you really want to know what actually occurred in the courtroom this is the book to read. I was very surprised over the facts brought out in the trial that the press who were allowed inside the courtroom chose not to inform the public of. I feel Ms. Jones, as one who originally felt that MJ was guilty, has done an excellent job in revealing the truth. After reading this book, you will in your heart know for certain that MJ was not, and is not, a pedophile; that he was and is not guilty on all counts!!! God bless you Ms. Jones!

This book will make any doubters understand why MJ was found not guilty. This book takes an in-deepth look into the 2005 trail and how horrible the media is these days. The media likes to build people up and then crush them. They only report what will sell not the truth or what is. They report only the negative what if's. This book was quite the eye-opener regarding the media and how easy it is for them to manipulate the public. After reading this book, I felt even more compassion for MJ and how everyone around him wanted him for his money. Great read!

All books written about Michael Jackson are slanted, but this one isn't even believable. The book ignores a lot of known facts about Michael's life.

It appears to me that Aphrodite Jones knew that she would sell a lot more books if she chose to defend Michael.

Michael's fans will always spend lots of money and buy anything that supports him, so Ms. Jones would have a guaranteed money maker book on her hands.

There should be harsh consequences for the media that put this man through what they did. I hold them totally responsible. Even the horrible people that accused Michael Jackson (both times) to gain financially are not as responsible as the media. They are dispicable. Michael Jackson "fell off my radar" during all his tribulations simply because I was having tribulations of my own. All that was going on in his life might as well have been taking place on Mars. Since his death, I have become reaquainted with his genius and his tragedy. This man endured what no one should have to - twice in one lifetime! I believe it killed something inside of him. I thank God for the joy and unconditional love that his children gave him. If you want to know the truth, you owe it to yourself and to Michael to read this book. I also recommend "Redemption", as well as the Maury Povich videos "What You Were Never Meant to See" which show what a farce the Bashir documentary was. Martin Bashir, Nancy Grace, Diane Diamond, Bill O'Reilly, and others (you know who you are), you have this man's blood on your hands. Ian Halpern, you are even worse!

I remember the trial well and at the time I looked at it as a former fan who may have been duped in the first allegations. I tried to be a "grown up" and say that lightning does'nt strike twice...but I was secretly relieved when Michael was aquitted. When he left the country and we did not hear from him for so long...I was sure he must have been innoncent. Unfortunatly the only media that seemed to attempt to make things clear was Geraldo Rivera.
This book is a must read for everyone who wants to argue that Michael walked free because of his celebrity. Reading about Janet Arvizos' testimony was like reading a comedy script-as sad and not funny as it must have been for Michael.
This book,through facts and court transcripts quoted,it answers the ludicrous rumors from molestation to Michaels children not being his,to his marriages not being real to the false rumors that he was homesexual. It must have felt like he was being raped-to sit for months with every part of his private life in front of a courtroom of observors who were to decide his fate...he did it though. It takes a man to smile in face of hypocrisy(being that no media told us what was REALLY said behind courtroom doors). This book is a must for the fans,because God knows the haters won't buy it...but the fans who have this book can stick it in the face of those haters and say "see we are not crazy".

Finally a truthful and factual account of the facts of this trial and these false allegations. I don't understand that people find it so hard to imagine that someone as famous and wealthy and generous as Michael Jackson could be the victim of extortionists, grifters and people simply blinded by greed. I never believed that the allegations were true, but the media coverage of the trial was so painful to watch, that mostly, I looked away and waited for it to be over. But now, to have this book and read the testimony...well, I'm grateful to Miss Jones for this book because I can say to people who still doubt, "read this book, do your own research, the facts tell the story". And it is a story of false allegations. Period. The prosecution was out for blood and if there was one shred of evidence, they would have found it, they would have gotten a conviction. There is huge motivation to convict a child molester, no matter who he is. But the TRUTH is, that there was not ONE piece of EVIDENCE, there was not one credible testimony, there was nothing that even made sense. The fact that the MOTHER of the first accuser comes forward to say that she didn't have anything to do with those charges, that she has nothing but praise for Jackson and that she hasn't seen her son in 11 years? Does that sound like the mother of a victim? I don't think so. I am a mother and there is no way that if I truly believed my son had been molested, would I ever take a cash settlement and agree to "go away". Nor would any parent who truly believed their child had been hurt. You would go for conviction not only for your child but for future possible victims. Justice would be what you would be after, not money. And where are these boys now? They are both adults now (if Gavin isn't, then he will be very soon). They cannot come forward and tell their stories because, and I don't know the law on this, but wouldn't they be opening themselves and their families up to being charged with making false allegations if they tell the truth now? I think they are ashamed for what they did to the person who did nothing but be kind and generous to them and they have no doubt taken on new identities. No one seems to know where they are. One of the reviewers here states that pedophiles cannot control themselves, that it is a compulsion and there are always multiple victims. So, of all the hundreds of children that were around Jackson for years and years, there were two accusers whose stories didn't add up and were proven to not be credible. I honestly don't know much about Jordie, but there is that tape of his father saying that, "there's no way I don't win in this." That statement alone is enough to know that the father was in it for the money and it has been shown that he was in dire financial straits when the accusation was made.
Sorry, back to the book. I found it very interesting to the point on certain testimony I found myself gasping at the flat out lies, incosistencies and ludicrous timeline. This man was innocent and falsely accused. And when you know how much children meant to him, what a phenomenal father he was and how much he did for hundreds of charities throughout the world, it is heartbreaking to imagine how much this hurt him. It seems that at the end of his life he was finally getting over this horrible time in his life and was preparing a phenomenal show. He was in great voice and his moves were as mesmerizing as ever. This is It is a wonderful tribute to the unique artist that he was. I believe that the truth has set him free and that history will remember this great artist for the amazing music and dancing that he gave to the world and for his message of peace, love and treading lightly on the planet.
Thank you Miss Jones for setting the record straight!

Being a fan of Michael's, I debated about whether I wanted to read this book. I knew it would make me sad and angry about the great injustice that was done to him. The damage was already done with his untimely death, what good would it do to know all the unpleasant details? However, as a fan, I wanted to know what he had to endure and I don't regret reading it. I think EVERYONE should read it, fan or not. I think people should know what really happened in this case so something like this can never happen again. And that what never should have been allowed to happen in this country(this trial), did. If the prosecution(namely D.A. Tom Sneddon, who I feel put Michael through living hell with both the Chandler and Arvizo accusations)had done proper research, they would have seen they didn't have a case.

After reading this book, anyone that comes away still questioning Michael Jackson's innocence is simply in denial. Ms. Jones gives a concise, unbiased presentation of what went on in the courtroom down to the last detail. It becomes clear that this case never should have gone to trial and reveals, using actual court transcripts, how greed caused both the Chandler and Arvizo families to bring down an innocent man who was only trying to help them.

I did not feel this author was in awe or "gushing" over Michael Jackson, but I felt she cared about him as a human being, giving an objective viewpoint. Originally she was part of the very media that was out to disgrace him. This made the book even more interesting being told from her perspective. How midway through, she had doubts about what the press was doing to him as it became obvious to her that he was innocent and she became one of his strongest supporters. I felt she wanted people to know the truth and how the power of the media can sway public opinion and in Michael's case, destroy a person. I commend the author for caring so much to write this account; obviously in depth research was done. Michael was also very lucky to have such a fabulous legal team lead by Tom Mesereau. This was a fascinating book that I couldn't put down. The book has several b/w photos that were used as State's exhibits in the trial, hence the poor quality of some.

This book give the actual account of what went on in the courtroom. The American press crucified Michael Jackson long before the trial began. Ms Jones gives an accurate accounting and shows the truth behind all the accusations. Definitely a must to read.

I loved the book! I read this book in 4 days and thought it was awesom, fantastic, amazing, so incredible and worth the read! I could not put it down...that's how wonderful it is and so exciting it is to read.

I never really believed the allegations against Michael Jackson and really wanted to know what happened in the court room. This books gives you accurate accounts of what really happened in the court room, not just what the media wanted you to know. I'm glad that Ms. Jones chose to write the truth and not continue to spread the lies of the mass media. After reading this book, I wonder how this case even went to trial. The allegations are baseless and the Arvizio family are not trust worthy. These people used their son's sickness as a pay day, taking advantage of Michael Jackson, Chris Tucker, Jay Leno, and many other caring celebrities. They should have been punished for making a mockery of the justice system and wasting tax payers time and money.

You HAVE TO read this book if you want to know what really happened in the 2005 trial. I never believed any of the accusations that were made against Michael Jackson because there is no way that someone who makes such beautiful music and gives so much to the world can possibly do such unimaginable things.

Yet, the media continued to skew their coverage, and made assumptions that he was guilty when there was absolutely NO EVIDENCE whatsoever!

That family was NUTS! They took away his freedom, his beloved Neverland, and everything!

I truly admire MJ for being so strong and remaining a good person in spite of all the shame, torture and everything that the conniving family and DA snodden put him through... it's absolutely horrible.

I have so much respect for Aphrodite Jones who wrote this book based on FACTS! I was so moved and angry at the same time that people would often make comments about MJ without knowing the truth!

Also, I deeply admire Tom Mesereau! He is a true lawyer, and his foreword shows what a wonderful person Michael Jackson was and that Aphrodite Jones should be commended and recognized highly for this book.

This book will blow you away! AMAZING!

I wasn't certain about reading any books about Michael Jackson unless they were written by him. It just seemed that everyone had something to gain from him by sensationalizing his life and whatever lies they chose to conjure up. But Aprhodite Jones was interesting because she intially believed that Michael Jackson was guitly of child molestation until she reviewed the case file herself to uncover the truth. It is difficult for a person to change their own personal opinion of someone and I applaud her for the courage it took to write a pro Michael Jackson book. The book goes into the allegations against Michael Jackson, it includes both the prosecution and the defense witnesses. What I find interesting is the lack of correlation in the stories of the alleged victims and so called witnesses. The alleged witnesses were disgruntled employees who initially stated that no such abuse took place and once they were fired (for criminal reasons) their stories changed. These ex employees changed their story to say they witnesses Michael abusing other children but these children now adults state that no such abuse took place in fact they had pleasant views of Mr. Jackson. Then the accusers in this case their stories never match, the time the alleged abuse took place seemed to change a little bit too often. The family has had a series of run in with lawyers and were already successful at winning civil suits without true merit. The family was able to gain money from other celebrities as well as attempting to fool others, leaving their greatest and last victim as Michael Jackson. The family goes from loving and praising Michael Jackson to claiming kidnapping and child molestation two accusations that by the end of reading this book seem rather ridiculous. I dont even know how this case made it to court it was simply a blatant attepmt for monetary gain and to acquire an undeserving luxurious life it also reminds us about how biased the media has been in there coverage of Michael Jackson. But in the end he still won, he is still the most famous entertainer that ever lived, he died doing what he loved and he passed away peacefully in his sleep without anymore pain. It is a bittersweet recognition. Read the book it is truly worth it.

I enjoyed reading something that didn't have scummy and sordid opinions about Michael. At least she seemed to believe he was a good and decent person and brought out how he was purposely crucified in the media. It certainly gives insight about his accusers. I don't however understand her recommendation of J. Randy Taraborrelli's book. He has been stated as getting some of his stories from people in MJ's camp and from some family member or members, who we know MJ could not always trust because of their jealousies and/or vendettas. We all know which sibling always trashed Michael. Could A. Jones not resist her previous behavior of bashing Michael by recommending his book? It was established that publishers would not publish anything that was positive about MJ. So would his book be something we could trust? I feel so sorry for Michael that he had very few people around him that he could trust and had to endure all of the nasty garbage the media and others wrote and said about him. I guess we MJ fans have to be thankful we have at least something to hold that isn't full of trash and I thank her for that.

All those MJ haters should have a read of this book to cure their ignorance.Its unbelievable there are all these money hungry people who have no conscience whatever - willing to destroy MJ's good name and reputation bcos they found him to be an easy target to try and extort money from . All bcos MJ exhibit a good and generous heart and soul that people take advantage of his goodness. My heart bleeds for MJ when I read this especially he had to sit thru the trial and hear thos idiotic Arvizo family saying all unkind and bad things abt him after all that he has given them .These Arvizo family should be hunted down and exterminated .All MJ had done was to shower them with love and a luxurious lifestyle that they owise would never have the oppurtunity to come anywhere close . That family is EVIL and I don't know where is the American Justice to allow this people to go scott free and MJ's reputation completely in shreds even though the jury found him not guilty.The damage has been done and it hurt MJ like hell . It certainly hurt me - I wish I had a gun -would have shot all those evil people dead.

this book is worth reading as it also throws light on the Chandler case - throw those allegations out the window as well.It s based on facts and the actual trial not media garbage

This is the book that I was waiting for. Finally someone got it right. This book speaks truh about Michael Jackson. He was not the monster that the media made him out to be. He was a man that deserved to be loved and a man that was loving. Mr. Jackson was not guilty of anything, but that of love. I wish so badly that he could've known that not everyone hated him...and that many loved him very much. I truly hope that those whom caused him pain and suffering will truly pay for their misjudgments. I pray that Michael is in a place of peace and love. I grew up on Michael Jackson. I wish so badly I could've met this wonderful man. Just to tell him that I love him and that he was good. One day I will meet him when I get to heaven. I am sure of it. God Bless you Michael Jackson.

Basically, I just read this since the death of Mr. Michael Jackson, I hadn't heard of it before then. It is worth every penny and reads well. I can appreciate the fact that the author wasn't a believer in the innocense of Mr. Jackson as a reporter herself. During the trial she realized that there was a conspiracy going on of Mr. Jackson. She had the courage to write about him at a time when NO ONE would touch him even though he was FOUND unquestionably INNOCENT!!!!
That in itself is a TRAGEDY! I appreciate her for writing this book and thank her. He needed people to know what actually happened in the court room and she does a great job at writing that for all to read so go ahead and pick up a copy for yourselves and others.

I try to encourage many people to get this book if they want to know what happened during this time in Mr. Jackson's life. Although, it isn't everything it is enough.

Highly recommended!

Enjoy!

Thank you Aphrodite Jones for finally having the courage not to run with the pack (bias main stream media) and tell the TRUTH!

I read this book twice because it is such a compelling read. The book gives you all the facts about the 2005 trial.

Not only does Aphrodite exposes the money hungry family that wanted to extort money from Michael she also exposes several of MJ's ex employees that where caught in lies.

In addition, she talks about all the media bias that went on during the coverage of the trial. The media was not reporting the truth they only covered one side of the story "the prosecution side". The defense side was never covered or given the proper reporting.

Ms. Jones had to self publish because no publishing company wanted to publish her book as it gave a clear unbiased report of what actually happened inside the court room. How sad that there are so many libel books about MJ and they all come from prominent publishing houses because, those books have negative and bias things to say about him.

Really sad that Aphrodite had the facts and no one wanted to publish her book because it was a positive book on Michael Jackson. Thank you gain for giving us the facts and the truth.

Highly recommend this book for anyone that wants to know the truth about the 2005 trial!

R.I.P. MJ INNOCENT!!!

this was one of the best books on michael jackson that ive ever read. Its well written and gives the truth about what happened in the courtroom. I commend the author for writing this book its fantastic. Well worth the money even with the $4.00 increase. I highly recommend this book.

This book really takes you carefully through the details of MJ's trial, and makes a convincing argument about why he was acquitted. It's definitely worth reading, and certainly persuaded me to think more carefully about the media, their motivations and how it might affect my views. I really liked thinking over these allegations carefully, and find myself wondering if there is much that I do not know and understand about Michael Jackson's life. I can recommend it to anyone who prefers to take their time to review carefully and study all facts and perspectives about this case. It is certainly fascinating.

Great information. As much as I love MJ, the trial made me wonder if he was guilty. They tried to hit him in the his achilles heel -- he loved all children and donated his time and a lot of money to them--more than anyone else has ever done. The charges were absurd and even though he was acquitted of all charges, that doubt remained with so many people. I saw one sign when he died that made me cry, it said "Please forgive us Michael" -- I hope he can.

For someone who wants to find out the truth this is the book to read. It's very good.

Great book, needs to be read by all and especially media people, very insiteful about the trial.

Out of all the MJ books I've read, this is the best documented. If you know the details of the trial you know MJ went through hell.. this book shows his side of the experience. The interviews with the other parties are documented as well.. and honestly, I became angry when reading their words because it's not factual. We all know it was garbage and they just wanted money.

Read it.. you won't be disappointed!

El mejor libro que e leido acerca de Michael Jackson , yo soy Espanola y vivo pocos anos aqui en us, recuerdo cuando era pequena siempre oia a mis padres hablar de michael Jackson con carino,siempre decian que no era posible que le inventaran tantas barbaridades, que lo ivan a destruir...y vaya que lo hicieron...cuando fui creciendo pedi que me pagaran clases de ingles no dije porque pero desde ese entonces yo sentia curiosidad por que decian sus canciones , ya para principios de los 90 al poder entender las letras me quede completamente paralizada...todas en pro de la naturaleza...en contra de las guerras en pro de los ninos ...canciones de denuncia a su persona ...nunca puse ir a uno de sus tours porque me pillo muy chica aun y no me dejaron pero dios sabe cuanto sufri no haber podido ir al history tour de Munich , ahora vivo con la gran duda de si habra muerto en realidad, primero 2 meses para la auptopsia luego 2 mas para enterrarlo y ahora cuantos mas para saber que paso en realidad...y encima el nunca se vio . Todos los amigos cercanos y familia siempre pensamos que en estos ultimos anos existia una conspiracion grande detras de el ...algo fuerte...el siempre lo dijo. ...ojala todo se aclare y la policia en este pais pueda aclarar todo lo que en realidad esta pasando...

Loved this book. It is a very informative and honestly written book about the testimony in the 2005 Michael Jackson trial. I was very interested in reading it and I'm so glad I did. I never heard any of this on the news - they never reported anything positive about the trial except just briefly reported the not-guilty verdict. I think this is book that a lot of people need to read, but unfortunately won't be interested in because they've already made up their minds without even trying to find out what happened. So many people just want to "convict" someone once they hear in the media that they've been charged with a crime without even caring to find out the details. The attitude is usually "well, if he was charged with the crime, there must be something to it." I was amazed to learn about this family that accused him and how they took advantage of his kindness and generosity and that they were after money long before they ever met Michael Jackson. Very well written and thanks Aphrodite Jones for simply putting the truth in print!

This book is excellent and was written by someone who not only attended the trial of Michael Jackson but was there the entire time, and she tells the truth about Michael Jackson and proves he was innocent on all charges and with both cases. This is the truth because Aphrodite attended the entire trial; it is NOT sensationalistic tabloid lies, as most of the books are.

Ok, I suggest if you want to know the truth about Michael Jackson BUY THIS BOOK!! Once I opened that book I could not close it. I am currently re reading it to soak in the details and get time lines straight. This book definitely opened my eyes to whole DIFFERENT world. From what I remember all they played on television and magazines was how guilty he was and they reeeeally uplayed the prosecution team, who were complete IDIOTS..each and every one of them, and everyone in the court room knew it. While I'm reading this book I really wanted to get into it a little more...so I am reading the court transcripts online and OMG low and behold yes even the court transcripts make the everyone on the prosecution look like greedy crackpots! You would have never known from watching tv or reading magazines. I can't believe how the media was towards him! It really breaks my heart for Michael...Just read this book and you will see...Thank You Aphrodite Jones.

This book is dramatic, yet based on tons of facts about what happened during the Jackson trial. Thanks God someone can devote and write such a book. It'll become part of the history. The book will take you to different scenes around Michael Jackson's life backed up by so many many facts, witnesses. Thanks God that Michael has a lawyer with integrity, thanks god that the jurors made the right decision.

Someday there shall be a movie to document Michael Jackson's brilliant life and brilliant contributions to the world.

Let me start by saying I was one of the boneheads, who though Michael Jackson was guilty as sin and that a sleek lawyer got him off.
It goes without saying that I had not bothered to read anything on Michael Jackson through the years, being only familiar with 10 or so of his old songs. I live in Denmark and MJ was not tabloid news all the time, as I suspect was/is the case in the US.
So the day MJ died - the TV/radio and newspapers were filled with the sad news and, of course, a lot about his rise to fame - his charity works - the lot.
I was completely mystified - Michael Jackson visiting children's wards in hospitals, orphanages around the globe, when on tour, expressing an almost unheard of love and caring for children - and most certainly disadvantaged children. Not exactly a blue-copy of a child-molester.
I began to read all I could get my hands on about Michael Jackson - and I cannot believe the way the tabloid press have distorted facts, offering one-sided malicious snippets. And how I took it in hook-line and sinker.
Although I had a strongfeeling of being very wrong about my off-hand judgement about MJ before buying this book - after reading it- I know I was WRONG.
First of all the author is a woman, who also had Michael Jackson pinned down as guilty, and had a genuine change of heart.
She takes you into the court-room and presents you with a - in my oppinion - well-written and almost suspensefilled horror of a case.
Many before me have given a very good review of what the book is about - so I will abstain from that.
I will say, that if you are, like I were, influenced by the tabloid press, you will feel disgusted by the way the facts were left out or turned around.
If the book were fiction - you would put it down and think the plot was so outrageous and utterly impossible to believe, that reading it was almost a vaste of time! Star Wars seems more possible.
A family, who literally was smothered in love help and financial aid, dragged their benefactor to court and lied through their teeth with the most outrageous tales.
That it ever ended up in court is ridiculous!!!
The evil ungratefulness (if there is such a word) that all of them displayed makes you furious - along with their blatant lies.
The most infuriating is that the press never reported this, as I understand it.
Filled to the brim with evidence of lies and evil schemes and ungrateful attitudes, you are left with a feeling that the Arvizoes honestly believed that the world owed them an easy living, without question and without thanks being offered.
A small thing is the mother's complaint that they felt "trapped and bored" during a stay in a 5-star-hotel's luxury suite, spent in Michael Jackson's company!!! I can't imagine how many millions of fans through-out the world would peel off 30 years of their life-expectancy to be "trapped" in a hotel-room with Michael Jackson.
If you have an iota of decency in your body you will have a hard time believing the Arvizoes are for real. If indecency and ungratefulness and evil intentions were criminal offenses - the entire family would be on death row right now!
Read it - and get the facts straight.
And when you are done pick up "redemption" by Geraldine Hughes about the Chandler Plot.
Michael Jackson is moonwalking in Heaven, but for his family and children especially his legacy should be put right up on the pedestal, where it belongs.

When Michael Jackson passed away I was in shock. I am not a "fan", but decided that I wanted to know more. What I have learned about his poor treatment from the media -in particular the vile American media is overwhelming to me...SHAME on them. He must be one of the most misunderstood public figures in history. How utterly defeated he must have felt.
I too unfortunately was one of those people poisoned by the "machine" that is the media. How one sided they were in the reporting of both allegations made against him! They along with others including the Chandlers (his insurance carrier negotiated and paid out the settlement to this family in 1993, over the protests of Michael Jackson and his legal counsel-he had no control over his insurance carriers demand to settle the dispute!) and Arvisos have blood on their hands as far as I see it.
Now, after my own reading into his life I can see past all this disgusting one sided reporting to the real man...a caring, kind man who was taken advantage of by many throughout his whole life.
Thankyou Ms Jones for a book that reports the "facts" on the 2005 trial -something very hard to find when the subject is Michael Jackson.
If you want to know the TRUTH then this is a must read.

It's about time that someone finally portrayed Michael Jackson as he deserved to be - a kind, gentle and generous man. I have read Ms. Jones' other books, and am truly thankful to her for going forward with this project, even though she had to publish it herself! The book shows Michael's goodness, but, just as important, reveals the depths to which people like Martin Beshears will go to "get ahead."

If you want to know the TRUTH then this is a must read.

First, let me start by saying that I have had the experience of being part of a jury trail where I was a Juror in a court room listening to a case and then voting on the outcome of the case. A few years later I had the experience of being a part of a Grand Jury where we worked "behind" the scenes to determine if there was enough evidence to send a case to trail. Lastly, I chose to take the time to sit in a court room to listen to a case where the death penalty was on the table for the person that was being accused of, "setting a house on fire that caused the death of four (4) children ages 2 yrs. to 8 yrs. old, their mother and the grandmother.

My point is this, this book is as close as you can get to actually being in the courtroom each day to see and hear for yourself what took place during the trail. We all already know what the media/news reporters had to say which was not about the FACTS = TRUTH.

This is a book that was difficult to put down. After reading some chapters, I felt so overwhelmed, that I had to close the book and take a break to clear my head and recollect myself. I can't even imagine what MJ and his family must have felt day after day of actually LIVING through the trail. Throughout the book I kept asking myself, "Who is this Tom Messereau?" He was/is an awesome attorney. I loved the way he carried himself, stayed focused, kept MJ focused, VERY detail oriented, always stayed with the FACTS and not the imagine of his client (MJ) or who ever was on the witness stand that he had to question.

Before closing, "No, I have never believed that MJ was ever guilty of being a child abuser in any way." I feel that he was to trusting, to soon, with everyone. Kindness is often taken as a weakness and that kindness can easily make that person the victim. It's fine to show kindness to peaple, but there should also be some boundries set.

This book was worth every penny, thanks Ms. A. Jones

anyone who wants to know the facts that proves michael jackson was a target for greedy people and the media. should read this book .it is sad that the media only reported the things that would make him look bad thank you aphorodite jones for doing the right thing this book is a must read barbara williams michael fan for life

The book is excellent it's conspire a detailed information.The writer Aphrodite i admire her being
honest & esp. the direct legal counsel of Michael Jackson his foreword is admirably excellent. I love it & im highly recommending it for others to buy & read.I will keep it forever.

I got this book the other day and have thoroughly enjoyed reading it. It is factual, but also fascinating and easy to read. It is not at all slow or boring. It takes the reader into the courtroom and allows us to learn about the actual testimony and the actions of the lawyers and witnesses, and the demeanor of all involved, including the media, fans, and Michael Jackson and his family members. Tom Mesereau, Michael Jackson's lawyer, comes across as brilliant. Aphrodite Jones did an awesome job in writing this book and I commend her for standing up and taking on this challenge, especially when she admits she was at first one of those who believed Michael Jackson to be guilty of the crimes her was charged with. I am very, very glad that she was brave and responsible enough to research and write this book, and vindicate Michael Jackson's name. She's an excellent writer. It's good to know that there are some people with integrity in this whole thing since so many seemed and still seem totally without a shred of it.
