'He Was EXONERATED!' Michael Jackson Documentary Questioned By His Defense Attorney
What was said
"I went in there, they didn't— I didn't fit their narrative because in a trial, you didn't fit their narrative. They did not believe you... Why would in a trial system of you being accused of something, coming forward, providing truthful information and documents and pictures, why would they not use you as a witness?"
Vincent Armen claims Santa Barbara prosecutors Tom Sneddon declined to use him as a witness in the 2005 trial despite his testimony about alleged evidence of abuse. Armen insists he provided documents, pictures, and truthful information to prosecutors in 2004 but was excluded because his account didn't align with their case strategy. Both Geraldo Rivera and others on the panel questioned why prosecutors would reject a credible witness.
