we're debating the omission of accuracy, not the inclusion of accuracies, of a pop-star's penis?The drawing of October 1993 was accompanied by notes in an adult’s handwriting. The drawing was made by the same adult.
The description made a couple of assumptions. The first one was that the accused was circumcised. The second one was that his manhood had a depigmentation patch on it associated with autoimmune disorder vitiligo.
Interestingly, the accused had been encouraged by his talent manager Sandy Gallin in November 1992 to disclose to the public his years-long struggle with the disorder, which had by now become very advanced. An interview was arranged with Oprah Winfrey, who had been recommended to the accused by Sandy’s friend David Geffen. Incidentally, it was Geffen who had introduced Sandy to the accused and encouraged the accused to hire him as his talent manager a few years earlier. The interview took place in February 1993 at the home of the accused.
Photographs were taken of the accused’s manhood in November 1993 by the police after an incident was alleged to have happened in May 1993. Both features the child was said to have described were incorrect. Michael was uncircumcised. There were discolourations, but none matched the description given of just one discoloration. There were a number of other distinctive features, none of which were mentioned in the description.
Also, it is far from clear as to whose the statement attributed to the child actually was. Circumstantial evidence points to intent to extort the accused. The child’s initial statement was that no alleged act happened. It was only after he spent some time with his father that the child agreed to align his own statement with his father's accusations. Once the settlement money was received by the Chandlers from the accused’s insurance company in January 1994, neither the child nor the father were interested in pursuing criminal prosecution, even though the terms of the settlement explicitly did not require them to abandon the prosecution route. The child’s father had wanted all of the settlement money to himself. It was the accused who insisted that, if a settlement was to be paid, it would be placed on trust for the benefit of the child until he was of certain age of maturity. So the father received a great deal less than he had been pitching for since May 1993.
Really my dude?
Thats like telling your girlfriend: "Look who I WASNT texting...you can't pay attention to who you saw me texting!"
