Maybe he’s spending some time dead for tax reasons?

is he going to be charged with perjury?
Unless and until he testifies that he was abused and was deliberately telling falsehoods before, I don’t think there’s enough evidence.
His best strategy seems to gun for an out-of-court settlement, so he never gets on the stand.

Though the only reason I can think of that that the estate would do that is to avoid negative publicity, and it’s too late for that.
My guess is he’s planning a book deal.
It’s interesting because right now, MJ’s family is suing AEG for wrongful death or something or another. Right before the trial started, rumors were circulating that AEG was saying that if the Jackson family didn’t drop it, they’d do an all out media campaign to ruin the Jackson estate. Around that time, AEG was in the news because they wanted to do paternity tests on Jackson’s kids for the trial, supposedly because they thought that would be embarrassing enough to make the Jacksons back off (the Jacksons, embarrassed? Puh leeze. You’d have to have some dignity first).
Supposedly, Wade Robson is on contract with AEG. Not to get all tin foil hat, but that’s interesting if it is true.
Recent articles suggest the Estate of MJ has made $475 Million since MJ died. Since he died, he’s no longer signing any more contracts or making any deals that he gets sued for blowing off anymore. Or paying off people, supporting his siblings, cousins, nieces and nephews, business managers, lawyers, and other hangers on.
And with the LARGE money I’ve read mentioned in the Jackson VS AEG suit ($10 BILLION), I can see someone barely tangentially associated trying to grab some bucks.
I understand a character witness in general, I suppose, but having Robson testify at the trial in the first place seems kind of odd strategy. The defense having him say “I used to hang with him and he didn’t molest me” would seem kind of like having OJ or Robert Blake’s ex-wives testify at their trial that “I was married to him and he never killed me!”
Well, he could claim that he was under pressure from the family to deny he was molested, but now that Jacko is dead, he’s coming forward. Not that I think that’s the case, but it would be ever-so-slightly more plausible than “repressed memories”.
For one thing Sony signed a deal for $250 million to release new albums based on whatever recordings he left.
That’s silly.
Everyone knows MJ never molested girls, mighty or otherwise.
That’s what they all say.
Seriously, some therapists are very good at implanting “memories” of events that didn’t happen. All it takes is a psychiatrist with a perverted mind and a cooperative patient.
Or a therapist who is simply unprofessional.
