2004 - Security precautions for Michael Jackson at the court have been heightened after threats that had to do with inflicting bodily harm on the entertainer.
At a hearing on Thursday, defense attorneys for Michael Jackson showed a judge videotapes of the raid on November 18, 2003 on the Neverland Valley Ranch. At the hearing defense attorneys were attempting to limit the evidence prosecutors can present during trial in January. They argue that the search was overly broad and unjustified. In a one-hour excerpt from some 15 hours of video, detectives from the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Department trudged ahead of a videographer as they opened doors in Michael’s home, a Tudor-style mansion with dark wood paneling and glittery chandeliers. For example the detectives swept into the entertainer’s “toy room,” where his children often played with life-sized “Star Wars” figures and a larger-than-life Superman figure. They also videotaped the wine cellar, business office and the “classroom,” with its child-sized desks, where Michael had his children home-schooled. Michael and his family were not at home when the search began at 9 am and ended well after midnight. Some 40 officers participated, trucking with them portable toilets and two crime scene investigation trucks for collection of evidence.
