In 2006, Jordan Chandler accused his father, Evan Chandler, of attacking him with a dumbbell, spraying him with mace and choking him.
According to court documents filed in New Jersey, Jordan claimed that in 2005, Evan “struck him on the head from behind with a 12-1/2-pound [dumbbell] weight … sprayed his eyes with Mace or pepper spray and tried to choke him”. Jordan also filed for a court restraining order against his father, on the grounds of ‘domestic abuse’.
In 1993, Evan Chandler had been hellbent in obtaining justice for the trauma his son had allegedly suffered at the hands of Michael. Why then, 12 years later, did he turn on his own son?

Settlement Not Enough
USA Today June 24, 1996
by DeWayne Wickham
Father, who accused singer of molesting son and is now suing again, ought to get a life. Los Angeles- Remember Evan Chandler? He's the Beverly Hills dentist who several years ago accused pop music superstar Michael Jackson of sexually molesting his then 13-year-old son.
Instead of trying to put Jackson in jail, Chandler sought to pick his pocket. The civil suit he filed in 1993 was settled out of court, reportedly for more than $10 million.
Now Chandler is hoping for another visit from the tooth fairy. The former dentist to the stars is back in court. And this time he's not just suing Jackson. Chandler also has named the pop music star's ex-wife, Lisa Marie Presley, the Sony Music Corp., the Walt Disney Co. and some 300 unnamed persons as co-conspirators.
Aided and abetted by this cast of characters, Jackson violated the terms of their confidential 1994 agreement, Chandler says. How?
By denying - in words and song - that he sexually abused the young boy. He did so last year during an interview on ABC with Diane Sawyer, Chandler charges, and again in his latest album. And for that Jackson must pay. How much?
Chandler, who between root canals co-wrote the screenplay for the movie Robin Hood: Men in Tights, wants at least $60 million to settle his latest complaint against the pop music king. He also wants an album.
Not a copy of HIStory, the Jackson album he cites in his suit. Chandler wants a court order "to allow him to publish and cause to be distributed to the public for sale" his own musical composition - something he calls "EVANstory." And, yes, he wants to be taken seriously. Hmmmm.
But, of course, he blew his chance for that when he chose to press his child-abuse charge in a civil, rather than criminal, court. How many parents who really believe some guy was molesting their child would pass up the chance to put him in jail?
Who would seek a financial payoff in lieu of a criminal prosecution? If Michael Jackson is a child molester, he belongs in jail. And if Evan Chandler has any evidence to support the charge that Jackson "sexually molested and assaulted" his son, he should give it to a prosecutor - not try to use it to launch his own recording career.
When Chandler and Jackson reached their out-of-court settlement, lawsuit lawyers for both men announced the deal in a joint, one-page statement. Twice in that document Jackson asserted his innocence.
Now, two years later, Chandler claims such a denial is a violation of the agreement. Some of these denials, Chandler contends, are buried in the lyrics of several of the songs on Jackson's HIStory album. What is he talking about? Well, in one song Jackson sings: "Somebody's out, somebody's out to use me, they really wanna use me, they falsely accused me."
Chandler believes these words are targeted at him. Maybe. Maybe not. In recent years Jackson has been dragged into civil court by a Denver songwriter who accused him of stealing his lyrics and a woman who said he fathered her child.
Maybe he was talking about them. Or maybe - like most songwriters - he wasn't talking about anyone in particular. And remember the recent controversy over Jackson's use of terms like "Jew me, sue me" and "kike me, don't you black and white me" in a song on the HIStory album?
Well, Chandler, who is Jewish, suggests in his lawsuit that they were aimed directly at him. Now he wants a chance to fire back with his own repertoire of songs. Evan, get a life. The statute of limitations for your child-abuse charge expires in three years.
If Michael Jackson did the unspeakable to your boy, give prosecutors the evidence they need to put him in jail. Source: Wickham, DeWayne.

Evan Chandler Confessed To Drugging Michael
Posted by: admin on: June 30 2010 • Categorized in: The Allegations
http://allforloveblog.com/?p=2928
Up to now, there has always been one detail about the Chandler case that has bugged me. Having researched so many facts on this case, I have come away convinced 100% that Michael was innocent of the charge that Evan Chandler- himself a mentally unstable man suffering bouts of bipolar disorder- brought against him. But despite all that, it’s hard to get past the description Evan gave of walking into Jordie’s room to find Michael and Jordie cuddled in a spooning position on the bed-a position in which it “appeared” (so the report went) that Michael was fondling the boy’s crotch. Even Aphrodite Jones’s excellent True Crime episode on the Michael Jackson case, which aired last April, glossed over this episode without really elaborating on it or offering any kind of explanation.
That bothered me for a couple of reasons. Number one, haters and doubters, even when watching a positive show that argues Michael’s innocence, will look for any loophole that “proves” his guilt or that still leaves it open to question. For many, even the fact of a grown man sharing the same space in bed with a minor child is enough to condemn him guilty. Secondly, it raised a small, but significant seed of doubt in my own mind, even though by now I’ve learned to take most things said about Michael Jackson by his detractors with a heaping grain of salt. Some questions that remained unanswered for me: If this incident supposedly occurred at Evan’s own house, under his own roof, why was it allowed in the first place? And why did Evan even invite Michael over to his home in the first place? Was the whole thing a setup? And did he, in fact, really catch Michael and his son in such a compromising position, or was the entire thing an innocent incident blown out of proportion? These were the things I had wondered, but had no satisfactory answer-until it came in a most surprising way.
Namely, Chandler himself, who in attempting to “prove” his case, actually succeeded in incriminating himself further by confessing what he did that night. And where is this information to be had? You might be surprised, especially if you’re among those, like I was, who had not yet bothered reading Ray Chandler’s All That Glitters, the book that Evan got his attorney brother to write so that he could conveniently sidestep the terms of the settlement.
To be honest, I hadn’t avoided the book on purpose. I actually try to read everything out there that’s been written on Michael-both good and bad; positive and negative-because otherwise, it’s impossible to really get a balanced perspective of what has been written and presented to the public, plus one cannot be truly armed against the ignorance and lies being purported unless one educates themselves to a certain extent about that information. But I have to confess, All That Glitters has been at the bottom feeder level of my priorities. But sometimes, as Dave Edwards pointed out to me recently, it pays to be aware of the trash. You can learn some interesting things-if you know where to look. Especially, if you look between the lines.
To really understand how things got to that point, however, I suggest that if you missed it the first time, to go back and read the article I wrote in April on Evan Chandler called “Was Daddy Just Jealous Cause Daddy Couldn’t Play?”.
http://allforloveblog.com/?p=1998
In that article, I went into some depth of what I believed to be the seed of the evil in this case, and that was Evan’s own jealousy of the relationship Michael had formed with his son-and also, his ex-wife, June, which I don’t think should be underestimated. I’ve long suspected that Michael was having a fling with June Chandler, which has been corroborated by at least two sources, a Neverland employee, and Frank Cascia, a longtime associate of Michael’s. Even in the Mary A. Fischer GQ article, a friend of June Chandler is quoted as saying she “liked him enormously.” I don’t think it was a serious romance, but it was serious enough to lay the groundwork for what became a very messy triangle of jealous relationships and suspicions among the Chandler family. You had Jordie who was jealous of Michael’s relationship with Mommy, and Evan who was jealous of Jordie’s father/son relationship with Michael, and then thrown into the mix, probably no doubt feeling a bit cuckolded and emasculated by June’s relationship with Michael, for even though they were divorced, there was probably on Evan’s part some lingering feelings that Michael was taking from him his entire family-his wife AND son.
Michael And Jordan At The World Music Awards in May of '93. This Was Around The Same Time That The Alleged "Drugging" Incident Took Place
For awhile, Evan played along, thinking that he could be in on the party and could benefit, as well. It was only after it became obvious that Michael had no intention of letting him play that Evan began exhibiting his jealous rages and determination to bring Michael Jackson down, at all costs. That is, after he was refused $20,000,000 to fund his film projects and the privilege of building his own, personal guest house on Neverland property, among various other bright ideas he had that he was constantly badgering Michael with. Michael smelled a rat, and began to distance himself from Chandler, as well as refusing most of his “offers” and business propositions.
This excerpt from the Mary A. Fischer article is interesting for the light it sheds on Chandler’s state of mind after he realized that Michael was distancing himself from the relationship:
“I had a good communication with Michael,” Chandler told Schwartz. “We were friends. I liked him and I respected him and everything else for what he is. There was no reason why he had to stop calling me. I sat in the room one day and talked to Michael and told him exactly what I want out of this whole relationship. What I want.” (my emphasis).
http://www.buttonmonkey.com/misc/maryfischer.html
I don’t know about you all, but generally, when someone starts dictating to me what they “want” out of a relationship with me, that’s when I’m out of there!
Awhile back, the website Vindicating Michael ran an interesting piece on the mental state of Evan Chandler. I do think it’s an important detail that should not be overlooked-that perhaps Evan Chandler was not so much an evil man, as a mentally disturbed one who was perhaps not entirely responsible for his actions. And who also had every reason to believe-even if in his own mind-that his allegations were justified.
http://vindicatemj.wordpress.com/2010/05/07/evan-chandler-was-a-psychiatric-case/
But some things that Evan Chandler did knowingly cannot be so easily excused. We know that Chandler drugged his own son with the drug amytal sodium to extract a ‘confession” from him, a drug that has been known to produce false memory. But it gets dirtier and more “interesting” than that.
In All That Glitters, Evan Chandler admitted to his brother Ray how he invited Michael to his house, drugged him, and basically set up the whole scenario that took place in Jordie’s bedroom! Unfortunately at the time, I guess Michael still hadn’t quite caught whiff of the rat smell; otherwise, he probably would have never accepted the invitation. But for a brief while, the two men did become somewhat friends, even though this was at the point that Evan was beginning to have his suspicions and was feeling somewhat at outs over not being a central figure in his family’s life anymore.
So here’s how the whole thing allegedly went down. Although Evan did not have custody of his son, June had felt sorry for him and allowed Jordie to go back to him for an extended stay. Evan then invited Michael over (under what pretense I don’t know, but Michael accepted the invitation). Sometime during the course of the visit, Michael developed an excruciating headache. Instead of offering him a Tylenol, Evan conveniently decides he has a better remedy. He calls up his friend Dr. Torbiner, a shady anesthethiologist, to come over and provide relief. Torbiner, as it would turn out, would become a crucial figure in this case, since it was he who provided Jordan with the “memory serum” amytal sodium that would help coerce his “confession.” Mary Fischer’s article also provides some interesting background info on Torbiner’s checkered history.
And in light of what we know now, one also has to wonder if maybe the dependency Michael developed for anesthetic drugs as sleep aids and pain combatants might not have had its roots in this very evil, underhanded incident. At least to my knowledge, there is no known record of Michael using such a drug outside a hospital setting prior to this incident.
Amytal Sodium Can Be Admisntered Orally In Pill Form...
...Or Injected.
It has been rumored as to whether the drug Torbiner adminsitered to Michael that evening was, in fact, amytal sodium. What is known, however, is that: One, this was a very dangerous substance to be administered outside of a hospital, and especially for a headache; two, after being given the drug, Michael became woozy and drowsy (to the point of being completely inebriated); three, it was while under the influence of this drug that Evan Chandler asked Michael if he was gay and also, if he had been “f-cking” his son.
Now, are you seeing the picture here? This is where it starts to get really interesting. First of all, Evan Chandler always made a big deal out of Michael’s reaction to that question, that instead of being outraged by the accusation, Michael simply giggled and said it was ridiculous. Well, hellooo…if you put two and tow together, the man was drugged out of his skull when he was being plied with these questions, so obviouisly, he didn’t have all his faculties about him, nor was he in control of his responses. Laughing in response to stumuli-even inappropriate sitmuli- is a common side effect of most milder anasthetic drugs. The “giggles” that often accompany being stoned on pot is a classic case example of how drugs can alter the ability to react appropriately to stimuli. Anyone who’s ever been stoned on marijuana and had “the giggles” can vouch for that fact.
But what’s more important than how he reacted is what was actually said. Even under the influence and drugged to the point that he was rendered unable to walk and had to be carried to bed that night, Michael staunchly denied two things-being gay, and having ever touched Jordan in an inapproriate manner. Evan Chandler had no luck coercing a “confession” from him (though unfortunately, such would not be the case when he later tried the same tactic on his son-his own son!).
Something else that is interesting and revealing about this setup: Even though this was before the incident in which Evan alledgedly caught Michael and Jordie in a compromising position, it’s clear that he already had his suspicions firmly in place; otherwise, why all the questions? Was he not then mentally in a place to make what he wanted of what he “thought” he saw?
Here is what is also known about what happened on the night in question: After being rendered unconscious by the drug Chandler and Torbiner had administered, Michael was “put to bed”-conveniently, in Jordan Chandler’s room!
Evan Chandler Convinced Michael He Was Giving Him A Drug That Would Cure His Migraine...I'm Sure It Did!
Now here’s the biggest question of all. Why in heck would a man who ALREADY suspected an improper relationship between a man and his son then purposely put that man to bed in the room he KNEW he would be sharing with his son? That makes no sense whatsoever. And it certainly doesn’t bode well for Chandler’s supposed “concern” over his son being molested. If that were the case, why would he purposely and intentionally set his own son up by putting him in such a compromising situation? Why would he agree to let Jordan sleep in his own bed that night, knowing this was the bed where they had placed Michael? Why would he consent to allowing them to sleep together, even if albeit Micahel was out of it? You can’t tell me for a moment that there were no other alternatives, or no other places where the child could have slept that night. If Evan was such a concerned father for his son’s safety, why didn’t he insist on Jordan sleeping with him that night? Clearly, because he had a plan in place, and that plan was to entrap Michael and his son, and to create a setup whereby Michael would look guilty as hell.
It was only then that Evan claims he walked into Jordan’s bedroom to find them “cuddled” on the bed in a spooning position. But still, consider the circumstances: Michael was in a drugged state, and certainly to some extent (actually, a very large extent) not responsible for his actions. Given the circumstances, how do we know he was even fully and conscuiously aware that it was Jordan sleeping next to him, or for that matter, that he was in Jordan’s bed? We don’t.
And I’m surprised that more people through the years-those who have bought Evan’s story that he was soooo concerned for his son-have never once questioned why or how this alleged incident took place under Evan Chandler’s very own roof. This didn’t happen at Neverland, where Michael had some degree of control over who was and was not allowed into his bedroom. This occurred under the roof of the alleged victim’s own father, who not only knowingly and willfully allowed it, but even set it up! And even when this information was put out there-openly-by Ray Chandler in his book, it’s amazing how people glossed right over it.
Then again, it doesn’t surprise. The public and the media have been so quick to condemn Michael Jackson on these allegations that they have refused to look at the bald facts even when they are right under their noses.
Now, as to more evidence of just what a “concerned” father Evan Chandler was, here is an article that appeared in USA Today back in ’96 in which a writer took Chandler to task over his ridiculous extortion attempts, all of this after Chandler became convinced that Michael had violated the terms of the settlement by proclaiming his innocence in a TV interview and on his HIStory album (as if Chandler himself didn’t violate those terms with his brother’s book, All That Glitters). It’s interesting to see, at least in this case, a media article willing to step up to the plate in Michael’s corner-if only more had been willing to do so, more often!
http://site2.mjeol.com/1993-1994/settlement-not-enough-june-24-1996.html
And here’s a legal document proving that Evan Chandler later attempted to murder his son (the fight allegedly erupted over, of all things, a loaf of bread!):

Well, hellooo…if you put two and tow together, the man was drugged out of his skull when he was being plied with these questions, so obviouisly, he didn’t have all his faculties about him, nor was he in control of his responses. Laughing in response to stumuli-even inappropriate sitmuli- is a common side effect of most milder anasthetic drugs. The “giggles” that often accompany being stoned on pot is a classic case example of how drugs can alter the ability to react appropriately to stimuli. Anyone who’s ever been stoned on marijuana and had “the giggles” can vouch for that fact.
But what’s more important than how he reacted is what was actually said. Even under the influence and drugged to the point that he was rendered unable to walk and had to be carried to bed that night, Michael staunchly denied two things-being gay, and having ever touched Jordan in an inapproriate manner. Evan Chandler had no luck coercing a “confession” from him (though unfortunately, such would not be the case when he later tried the same tactic on his son-his own son!).
Something else that is interesting and revealing about this setup: Even though this was before the incident in which Evan alledgedly caught Michael and Jordie in a compromising position, it’s clear that he already had his suspicions firmly in place; otherwise, why all the questions? Was he not then mentally in a place to make what he wanted of what he “thought” he saw?
Here is what is also known about what happened on the night in question: After being rendered unconscious by the drug Chandler and Torbiner had administered, Michael was “put to bed”-conveniently, in Jordan Chandler’s room!
Evan Chandler Convinced Michael He Was Giving Him A Drug That Would Cure His Migraine...I'm Sure It Did!
Now here’s the biggest question of all. Why in heck would a man who ALREADY suspected an improper relationship between a man and his son then purposely put that man to bed in the room he KNEW he would be sharing with his son? That makes no sense whatsoever. And it certainly doesn’t bode well for Chandler’s supposed “concern” over his son being molested. If that were the case, why would he purposely and intentionally set his own son up by putting him in such a compromising situation? Why would he agree to let Jordan sleep in his own bed that night, knowing this was the bed where they had placed Michael? Why would he consent to allowing them to sleep together, even if albeit Micahel was out of it? You can’t tell me for a moment that there were no other alternatives, or no other places where the child could have slept that night. If Evan was such a concerned father for his son’s safety, why didn’t he insist on Jordan sleeping with him that night? Clearly, because he had a plan in place, and that plan was to entrap Michael and his son, and to create a setup whereby Michael would look guilty as hell.
It was only then that Evan claims he walked into Jordan’s bedroom to find them “cuddled” on the bed in a spooning position. But still, consider the circumstances: Michael was in a drugged state, and certainly to some extent (actually, a very large extent) not responsible for his actions. Given the circumstances, how do we know he was even fully and conscuiously aware that it was Jordan sleeping next to him, or for that matter, that he was in Jordan’s bed? We don’t.
And I’m surprised that more people through the years-those who have bought Evan’s story that he was soooo concerned for his son-have never once questioned why or how this alleged incident took place under Evan Chandler’s very own roof. This didn’t happen at Neverland, where Michael had some degree of control over who was and was not allowed into his bedroom. This occurred under the roof of the alleged victim’s own father, who not only knowingly and willfully allowed it, but even set it up! And even when this information was put out there-openly-by Ray Chandler in his book, it’s amazing how people glossed right over it.
Then again, it doesn’t surprise. The public and the media have been so quick to condemn Michael Jackson on these allegations that they have refused to look at the bald facts even when they are right under their noses.
Now, as to more evidence of just what a “concerned” father Evan Chandler was, here is an article that appeared in USA Today back in ’96 in which a writer took Chandler to task over his ridiculous extortion attempts, all of this after Chandler became convinced that Michael had violated the terms of the settlement by proclaiming his innocence in a TV interview and on his HIStory album (as if Chandler himself didn’t violate those terms with his brother’s book, All That Glitters). It’s interesting to see, at least in this case, a media article willing to step up to the plate in Michael’s corner-if only more had been willing to do so, more often!

And here’s a legal document proving that Evan Chandler later attempted to murder his son (the fight allegedly erupted over, of all things, a loaf of bread!):

There Was Something About Michael Jackson•••He Was Perfection
The number 7 or 777 was Michael Jackson’s favorite number. “777″ represents God’s organization on earth. In the scriptures “7″ indicates perfection. “3″ gives emphasis. Therefore, 777 would be perfection. He described his Mother as •”perfection”.
Concidentally (or not!) Seven is also MY favorite / lucky number and always has been, thus, my Nickname and Pseudonym “Seven”, which I’ve used for years for writing poetry, some of which you will find here, specifically dedicated to Michael – the Angel of My Life – and easily the most beautiful, wise, loving man who has ever existed on Earth.
Also included will be photos I’ve collected, quotes from Michael and about Michael, videos, and other material. I started this site to honor and protect the legacy of this magnificent man, and to collect my poems and thoughts about him, as well as poems, thoughts, information, and quotes from others.
More detail about ‘7•7•7′:
•The number 7, in the Bible, is the number of perfection and/or completion.
•In triple notation, three sevens would indicate control of all three divisions of mind: conscious, subconscious, and superconscious. Michael wrote love notes to his fans mentioning these things, one of which you will eventually find posted here so that you can see for yourself. Three represents purpose or creativity, and Michael Jackson certainly had that! The numbers add up to 3. Add 777=21, add 2+1= 3. Another way to relate to 3 is the trinity: father, son, and holy ghost or holy spirit. The spirit manifests in each division of mind according to its own function. 777 therefore, is likely also a symbol not only of perfection, but wholeness.
I Love You, Michael Jackson. Always and All Ways. You and I were never separate. It’s just an illusion. Wrought by the magical lens of perception….Heaven is Here.

TINI (This Is Not It) for JUSTICE
We, at TINI, started our Campaign in order to inform the public of certain circumstances regarding the last days of Michael Jackson's life. Through our testimonies, we tried to present OUR truth, as we have personally witnessed, and in the process, we even left ourselves vulnerable to attacks from the public.
It's unbelievable that after 9 months since Michael’s life was suddenly cut short, those responsible for this criminal act have not yet been punished as they deserve:
Firstly, Conrad Robert Murray, the so-called Doctor, who, instead of helping Michael, took advantage of Michael’s situation and took money for administering inappropriate medications that culminated in his injecting Michael with a lethal dose of powerful anesthetic that definitely killed him. We believe that Murray should be appropriately charged with 2nd degree murder at the very least.
Secondly, all the people who, through omission or commission for their own profit or otherwise, neglected, condoned and facilitated dangerous, reckless or illegal conduct that ultimately led to the death of Michael Jackson, or who have any knowledge of this murder but choose to unlawfully keep their silence. We believe that timely and thorough investigations must be done to bring about appropriate charges.
We, at TINI, refuse to be a part of this silenced truth: that's why we have decided to come out once again to start a new awareness campaign called “TINI for JUSTICE.”

Michael Jackson fans are a rare breed!!
“Michael Jackson fans are a strange breed. One would be hard pressed to find another fan community whose object of admiration is the subject of so much unnecessary condemnation. Over time, Michael Jackson enthusiasts have watched their beloved’s seemingly global idolization transform into apparent worldwide mischaracterization and mistreatment by the press and public alike. Yet, through it all, true Michael Jackson fans have abandoned him not. If anything, the harder Michael’s opponents try to shove him to the depths of despair, the harder his devotees love him, if only for summoning the courage to persist in the midst of it all.
Michael’s continued endurance is an exercise in strength and resilience in the face of adversity and uncertainty. Michael’s fans have learned well the lesson, as they steadfastly brave the almost daily emotional roller coaster ride that is a requisite experience of every Jackson supporter. They marvel at his seemingly inexhaustible talents and applaud his victories. They laugh with him in his happiness; weep with him in his sorrow and pray for him in troubled times. Their hearts are warmed when he is embraced, and bleed when he is ill-treated.
Despite the stratospheric highs and seemingly cavernous lows that come with being a Michael Jackson fan, they remain loyal. They, like Michael, refuse to allow naysayers to steal their joy, obstruct their way or shape their opinions. They, like Michael, refuse to have their destiny defined or dictated by another. They also refuse to stand idly by as others attempt to deny Michael his rightfully earned legacy.
Simply, Michael Jackson’s fans are just like Mike in that they will not be deterred. By nature of their calling, Michael’s fans are constantly summoned to put on the full armor, stand on the front lines and fight.
Oftentimes with their pen as their sword, they fight alongside and for Michael’s right of humanity. By so doing, they fight for tolerance over prejudice, unconditional love over criticism; wisdom over ignorance and justice over inequality – not only for Michael, but for themselves as well. The battles are never-ending, hard-fought and oftentimes mentally and physically exhausting.
Still, rather than surrender or reconcile, Michael’s fans resist. They resist the desire to abandon Michael when all seems lost. They forsake the notion that theirs is a lost cause. They refuse to throw in the towel and resign themselves to the path of least resistance, which so often involves renouncing their fan support of Michael.
When the going gets tough, with weary minds and heavy hearts, they press on. They press on through Michael’s tribulations and the attacks to which he is subjected. They press on in spite of tire. They press on despite mockery and question as to why they bother fight at all for Michael Jackson, a man some deem undeserving of their adoration. Hazrat Inayat Khan once said, “God breaks the heart again and again until it stays open”. Michael’s devotees can see him as living proof of this idea, as he seems to be the embodiment of the notion. His own heart has been broken much and his fans personally feel the sting of each break. By the grace of God, Michael’s heart does not become hardened as a result of its frequent fractures. To the contrary, his shattered heart allows for its tenderness and openness. Since out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks, Michael’s fans are able to truly see the fullness of his heart when they listen to him articulate his desire for acceptance, understanding, positivity, love and peace through song and speech.
As their efforts to break Jackson himself have continually proven unsuccessful, some Michael Jackson opponents have turned their focus to attempting to disband the fan community by attacking his defenders. Time after time, the press uses condescending, defamatory terms to describe Michael’s fans. Being referred to as “delusional” and “*****” is not foreign to Jackson’s supporters. However, Michael’s devotees choose to ignore the juvenile name-calling and taglines bestowed on them by the media. The fans refuse to allow the press to project its negative, inaccurate perception onto them. This is because Michael Jackson fans realize that such inflammatory terms do not depict their true nature as intelligent, grounded individuals with a healthy admiration for Michael’s music, vision and humanitarianism among other things. Interestingly enough, Michael Jackson’s influence is global and thus, so is his fan base.
His detractors are under the false impression that his fan base is minuscule as well as one-dimensional. To the contrary, Michael Jackson enthusiasts are nothing if not vast and multi-dimensional. They can be found on every continent, in every country worldwide. Michael’s fans transcend racial, age and socioeconomic boundaries. The fact that Michael’s fans are so diverse adds to their beauty. Few entertainers, if any, can lay claim to having the type of dynamic and varied fan base of which Michael Jackson can boast.
If it is true our lives are open books for others to read, then the fans’ study of Michael Jackson has taught them more than they ever could have imagined they would learn about life, love and survival. Michael Jackson is a living testament of the notion that whatever one dreams and desires for his or her life can be achieved. Michael lives by the mantra that love should have no limitations -no conditions. Michael has shown all who dare take notice that it is possible to not only stay alive, but to thrive, with grace and fortitude despite adversity. By merely existing, Michael Jackson has taught his fans what it is to dream without fear, to create without boundaries, to listen without prejudice and to love without judgment.
Simply, Michael Jackson’s fans are a hard act to outshine. Their loyalty, enthusiasm, intelligence and genuine adoration of their musical idol is unparalleled by other artists’ fan communities. However, for all their attributes, when it comes to one particular matter, Michael Jackson’s admiring fans, will always be bested. For try as they might, no matter to what infinite degree they say and believe they love Michael Jackson, the King of Pop in true regal fashion, will always say and prove he loves them more … “

Here's an article that states the whereabouts of the MJ strip search photos:
"Variety Jackson VP testifies; prosecutors keep photos
Adam Sandler (2)
Feb 11, 1994
An executive for Michael Jackson's entertainment company appeared Thursday before a grand jury investigating child molestation allegations against the entertainer.
In a hearing after the grand jury recessed, a judge refused to order prosecutors to return to Jackson nude photos taken of him during a body search at his Neverland Ranch.
Jackson's accuser, now 14, settled a civil lawsuit against the entertainer last month for an undetermined sum, but Jackson has repeatedly denied the allegations and said the settlement was not an admission of guilt.
In a related matter, Jackson's lawyers asked a Santa Barbara County judge to order prosecutors to return the nude photographs, fearing they would become public.
"Extraordinary measures are being taken to protect your client's privacy," Superior Court Judge James M. Slater told Jackson attorney Johnnie Cochran Jr. The judge said the photos and negatives are being stored in a safety deposit box in a local bank."
