"There Was A Huge Desire to Destroy Michael Jackson" - Interview w/ Aphrodite Jones
AJ: I was very one-sided and I think most of the media was that way as well … They wanted to hear about what he was doing right after he took the stand. They wanted to hear about the pajama day, they wanted to hear about anything that seemed wacky, weird or sensational and they didn’t really care so much about boring details of, you know, facts. That old saying of “don’t bore me with the facts,” you know? That kind of was the mentality, and it is the mentality unfortunately I think, in the news today, or a lot of the media.

Where we’re really starting to see that as a society we’re beginning to realize that “oh my God, we can’t just believe CBS or any given news agency or the New York Times, because we realize now, I think, (we’re) coming to realize, that everybody has an agenda and the biggest agenda of all is selling soap. Dish soap. You know, that’s why they call them soap operas? Seriously, that is why. It derived from this fact that the sponsors of the daily dramas on TV were soap products. So you know, when you realize that (you realize it’s the) same way with newspapers. That headline has to sell. They are going to put whatever they can on newspapers that’s going to grab attention. Clearly what was grabbing everybody’s attention was not that this man has been a target, but rather, that now they finally had “caught him”. That’s what was selling and that’s what people were buying, and I was one of the biggest buyers of it.

DK: Something changed where you began to feel that Michael was innocent. What made you start to rethink your original thoughts and what was that like for you, that process?

AJ: … For me, that exact moment, it was like, all of the sudden, the Emperor Had No Clothes, and I saw Tom Sneddon as being this man who, all he wanted to do, was throw mud at Michael Jackson, and I realized…I had had some conversations with some of the DA’s investigators, and they basically said things to me like, “well, even if we don’t win, we have something to prove here.”

…This guy, he put more manpower into accusing and destroying Michael Jackson than he did into prosecuting any serial killer….there was a huge desire to destroy Michael Jackson -Aphrodite Jones, Author of Michael Jackson Conspiracy


DK: What would have been their motivation, do you think, for wanting to smear his reputation?

AJ: Because in their minds he was a guilty person. In their minds, he had molested somebody in 1993, (and) he got away with it. Even if they weren’t able to prove it, they were going to bring up so much dirt. Tom Sneddon actually enacted a law in the state of California, especially for Michael Jackson. Informally it was called “The Jackson Law,” but it was something like “The Jackson something,” I forget now, but the law basically allowed him to bring in past allegations within a current trial, which is typically not allowed. You’re not allowed to bring in past convictions in a current trial. No less past allegations. These weren’t even convictions. That was an allegation and a settlement, but yet, Sneddon somehow enacted a law in the state of California, in between 1993 and 2005, which would allow him to bring in past accusations. So that’s how serious he was.

… I realized he had gone to Australia, he had gone around the globe, looking for potential victims. This was a mission for this man. It wasn’t just a vendetta, it was really a mission. It was something that really struck me when I figured it all out. I was like “Wait a minute. This guy, he put more manpower into accusing and destroying Michael Jackson than he did into prosecuting any serial killer.” You know? There was a huge, like I say, mission. There was a huge desire to destroy Michael Jackson.
