While the brothers are the only witnesses to the four acts of molestation charged in the Jackson indictment, grand jurors heard damaging testimony from Jackson insiders, most of which served to flesh out details of the alleged conspiracy to silence, extort, and falsely imprison the accuser, then 13, and his family. Highlights of the grand jury presentment included:
* A California cop who moonlighted as a Neverland Ranch security guard told of seeing a written directive ordering that the accuser not be allowed to leave the 2800-acre property. The directive, posted in the estate's security office, came during the period in which investigators allege the boy and his family were imprisoned at Jackson's estate.
* An ex-bodyguard who testified that his job was to shadow Jackson 24 hours a day, said that one afternoon he discovered the teenage accuser drunk. When he confronted the boy and told him he should not be imbibing, the child replied, "Well, I can handle it. Michael said if I can handle it, it's okay. It's part of being a man." Jackson has been charged with four felony counts of providing booze to the accuser, a cancer survivor who lost his spleen and a kidney to the disease.
* Jackson's former house manager testified that the accuser and his family were held against their will at Neverland and that two of the singer's top aides told him that the boy's mother "wasn't allowed to leave the property." He also noted that the alleged victim and his brother, then 11, slept almost every night with Jackson in the singer's bedroom.
* A public relations expert hired to handle crisis management chores for Jackson testified that one of the singer's lawyers was "absolutely gleeful" when he told of plans to smear the accuser's mother as a "crack whore."
* A corporate flight attendant testified that Jackson was "secretive about his drinking" and rejected spirits she delivered in a "fluted crystal stem." Instead, the singer wanted his wine served in a Diet Coke can, which the woman emptied and refilled in the privacy of a Gulfstream bathroom. The alleged victim has testified that Jackson provided him wine concealed in a Diet Coke can on several occasions, including one cross-country trip staffed by the flight attendant.
* A second attendant, who worked 18 Jackson flights, also told of the entertainer's principal travel request: "The first one is--the white wine in the Diet Coke can."
* Corroborating accounts from the accuser's family, a school administrator testified that he chased away a man videotaping the alleged victim outside his Los Angeles middle school. Investigators determined that the thuggish surveillance agent--who tailed the accuser and his family after they left Neverland for the final time--was working for a private investigator hired by the Jackson camp.
