Why didn't MJ take the stand? His attys did not feel it was necessary, we've had powerful witnesses. Pressed her, do you think he should have testified? Raymone: I think he would have been a good witness and spoken the truth.
But, Michael listened to his defense team and at the end of the day it was decided it was not necessary.
Mentions the videos played in court, and how that gave him a voice in the trial - hours in his own voice. Defense probably felt that was enough.
Why are you so confident? Raymone: We've had strong witnesses, defense have done well, defense took less time than expected partly because of a lack of cross examination. 6-7 witnesses a day at least.
Does MJ have a grip on reality? Raymone: Strong grip on reality, knows exactly what's going on. Is as you and I - has different moods. Has been very tough physically and emotionally, has taken a toll on the family. Is with his children every day after court, hard not to effect their day to day life. He has conducted himself very mannerly, he has not said anything off the cuff, he's been in there every signle day on time other than when he was ill, he has acted in a manner that is appropriate. (Hard for me to keep up )
We'll all be nervous since the waiting game is about to begin, which is not easy.
Would you advice MJ in the future to not be around so many children who are not his own? Raymone: He has said he won't place himself in this position again, but he is innocent...(too fast sorry)
Raymone: Let me clarify, NEVERLAND IS NOT SOLD, he is not moving to Europe, etc.
