Rowe v. Fey'd
Posted on 02/01/2005 7:01:00 PM PST by Nascardude
Michael Jackson's ex-wife Debbie Rowe has agreed to be a star witness against the singer during his child molestation trial.
Ms Rowe, 37, was married to Jackson for three years and is mother of his children Prince and Paris. But she has now formally been added to the state's list of witnesses.
Insiders say her testimony is likely to "blow the lid" off Jackson's bizarre lifestyle.
Since the allegations of child abuse first surfaced, the former nurse has filed to regain custody of their children.
She was said to have signed all rights over to Jackson after their 1999 divorce, in a settlement that saw her receive an annual $1million alimony payment and a home in Beverly Hills.
It is not yet known whether Jackson's first wife, Lisa Marie Presley, to whom he was married between 1994 and 1996, will also take the stand.
Jackson is charged with one count of conspiracy to commit extortion, false imprisonment and child abduction, four counts of child molestation, one count of attempted child molestation and four counts of furnishing an intoxicant for purposes of committing a felony.
The singer was last night said to be at his Neverland Ranch, 30 miles from the courthouse in Santa Maria, California, after his brief appearance for the first day of the trial during which the fourweek process of jury selection began.
Jackson, dressed completely in white, had watched intently as Judge Rodney Melville considered the first batch of 314 potential jurors.
Of those, 176 said they did not want to serve, but only three - all heavily pregnant - have been released so far.
There is also growing concern over the fact that the applicants are almost all white.
Only three of the potential jurors who have appeared so far are African American, compared with the 29 white men, 26 white women, nine Hispanic men and five Hispanic women.
Jackson denies the charges but if found guilty could face 24 years in prison.
Debbie Roe should to jail for selling her children to that freak.
Rowe v. Fey'd
The thing that gets me is that folks honestly believe he's some kind of deity on the level of Jesus Christ. I've heard that on the news that Neverland is merely a reflection of his Jehovah's Witness faith. That Jacko's created some sort of new Heaven on Earth there for children.
From what I've seen and heard of her, she's got plenty of "issues" of her own.
As is the defendant. What's the problem?
No one has ever been kidding anybody about Whacko-Jacko. Married to a WOMAN?? Just a ruse to hide his real preferences. I hope the prosecution nails him with this charade. Hopefully they can produce evidence that will show how much money Jacko paid his "wives" to be just that. This guy is one operator of a pervert. Money, sham, scam, ruse, wow -- just cannot keep track of him and his little funny farm designed to attract disadvantaged little boys, the classical target of pedofiles. Maggot.
"...the applicants..."
Maybe this is Brit usage, but I wouldn't call them applicants. "candidates" maybe, but they haven't "applied" to be on the jury, they were called.
Channel surfing the other night...caught Debbie Rowe being interviewed. Lord help those kids if mom gets custody either. She is as whacked as Jacko. They showed her with her 'kids' like 30 or so dogs she lived with in some Hollywood Hills mansion that Jackson bought her after she gave him the babies because she 'knew he needed them and she is a giver like that.' So she gives her kids, to someone she now purports to be a child abuser, so that she can live with a pack of hounds. Words for a comment escape me.
"Michael Jackson's ex-wife to reveal everything in court"
Have you seen her lately. Please don't reveal anything.
But the celebrity status, the desire to be a juror on Good Morning America after the fact, etc. is overwhelming.
I think the chances of a hung jury are enormous, and that's without having much clue what the evidence is.
