I’m betting this one doesn’t get anywhere.

I think his hopes were all pinned on a successful outcome for the last kid. By this point the legal response could be just editing the voice files from his previous trials.

I heard a news article that some members of the Jackson Family are pitching a reality show. I don’t know if Michael and Janet are a part of it or not. I’m sure Janet doesn’t need the money and if Michael’s not part then there’s really no reason to greenlight it as the rest are just middle aged folks living in the suburbs and LaToya the Family Trainwreck.
