Witness: TV Documentary a 'Disaster' for Jackson

A television documentary in which Michael Jackson compared himself to Peter Pan and said he shared his bed with boys was a public relations disaster that damaged his image, a consultant hired by the pop star told jurors on Wednesday.

The 2003 documentary on Jackson's eccentric lifestyle, coupled with the leak of embarrassing court documents from a child molestation case settled out of court 10 years before, threw the pop star's camp into crisis, said prosecution witness Ann Kite.

Prosecutors charge that Jackson, who was shown holding hands and nuzzling with his accuser in the video, panicked amid the public backlash from the documentary, imprisoning the boy's family in his Neverland estate in an attempt to secure their help in rescuing his image

Jackson's lawyers argue that he was the victim of a scheme by his accuser's mother to extort money from a celebrity and that the boy and his brother ran wild during their stay at Neverland, getting drunk and looking at porn.

5. hahaha noooo keep it coming....
we don't have the saturation here (5 mins towards the end of a news cast is the general limit) so it hasn't crossed from the soap opera sideshow realm into news hogging distraction yet. Plus it keeps peoples blood pressure nice and fighty ;)
