Now, here is my conspiracy theory of the day... MJ knew that he was about to be placed in a legal jackpot and he or some of his siblings went to the father and begged him to publicly admit that he was beaten as a child so that there would be some amount of sympathy generated by the press coverage... Mitigating circumstances....

And no, I am not related to Oliver Stone... >;-)

I'm going to be amazed if MJ wasn't tipped off. He had to know something could happen since the arrest and conviction of his PI.
