I was able to get the complaint file from the court and I wanted to share it with the rest of the fans. I will also continue to report the developments in this case. Scroll to the end of page for the complaint document.

Short summary:

The complaint mentions Radar Online articles from June 23rd to June 28th. The complaint states that 3t were the only nephews identified in the stories. 3T and Katherine Jackson are also the only Jackson family members mentioned by name in Radar Online stories. The main issue seems to be criminal conduct Radar Online attributed to 3T. They argue that when a reasonable person reads Radar Online stories, they would conclude that 3T were bribed to conceal MJ’s criminal activities from authorities. They give examples of international media reporting MJ molested his own nephews and silenced them with gifts.

3T deny all of the stories. They state none of them were sexually abused by MJ or had any sort of sexual contact with him. 3T states they did not resist any effort by detectives to inquire about MJ and none of them were spirited off to an island or were gifted a brand new car.

Unexpected Developments at Cascio Songs Lawsuit

Cascio lawsuit

On June 30, 2016 there was a hearing about the anti-SLAPP motion. (Lawsuits brought to scare, harass and intimidate defendants or restraint of business is called SLAPP.  The motions filed by the defendants against such cases are called anti-SLAPP.) In order to succeed in their anti-SLAPP motion defendants will need to prove that the statements they made (and mentioned in the complaint) are protected under the right of free speech in connection with an issue of public interest.

Unexpectedly the newly assigned judge to the case refused to issue a formal ruling on the anti-SLAPP motions. As a first step parties have agreed to determine whether the statements in question (Sony Statement, Weitzman statement, album back cover, album video statement, Cascio’s at Oprah) were commercial speech or not. Judge refused to do such determination. Judge also mentioned that even she considered the anti-SLAPP motion, she would be inclined to deny it as the statements could be potentially misleading for reasonable consumers.

At this time, this is a huge win for the plaintiff MJ Fan. The judge told the parties to move on and start the class certification. This means the case survived the first dismissal attempt and the case will move forward with class discovery.

However most probably defendants (Sony, MJ Estate, Cascio, Porte) aren’t happy with judge’s refusal to issue a formal ruling on the anti-SLAPP motions. Zia Modabber said during the hearing “Whether or not these are Michael Jackson’s vocals is irrelevant. If it is noncommercial speech, we win, it’s over.” If statements in question are noncommercial speech, they would be protected by constitutional right under freedom of speech. Defendants also mentioned that a class discovery and certification before determining if the statements are commercial or not would be wasteful.

So what’s next? It would depend on the actions of the defendants. Will they do what the judge said and continue to the next step in a class action lawsuit? Or given they didn’t get a formal ruling in their anti-SLAPP motions would they pursue to get a ruling on that matter? Given a favorable ruling can end this case for the defendants, it’s quite likely that they may appeal this decision. In a few months’ time we will have a better idea about how this case will proceed.

The news of Sony purchasing Michael’s 50% share in Sony/ATV has resulted in anger, emotional outbursts and heated discussions among the MJ fans. Recently The MJCast had a Sony/ATV purchase roundtable at their 27th podcast. The podcast started with a quite balanced discussion of all sides and all possibilities surrounding the purchase of MJ’s share. The podcast also featured an interview with Lynton Guest – the author of “The Trials of Michael Jackson”. While listening to the show, I realized Lynton Guest provided some new and interesting insights to the Sony/ATV purchase. We as fans operate on limited available information so for me any piece of new information is quite valuable to better understand the situations. Therefore with permission from The MJCast,  I prepared a transcript of a short section of the Lynton Guest interview.

The full The MJCast podcast can be listened to here :  

or can be accessed from The MJCast webite at http://www.themjcast.com/episode-027-sonyatv-purchase-roundtable/

The below transcript starts at 01:13:00 (or 73 minute) mark.
