Jacko vindication thrills lawyer

Thomas Mesereau, Michael Jackson’s lead criminal defense attorney in his 2005 trial, is backing up Randall Sullivan’s new Jackson biography “Untouchable.” “The greatest benefit to come out of this book is Mr. Sullivan’s objective conclusion that Michael Jackson was not a child molester,” Mesereau, who is quoted in the book, tells us. “To be called a pedophile is worse than being called a murderer. I know what these false charges did to him. In my opinion, they shortened his life.” Mesereau wanted to write his own book, but, “Publishers were not interested in why Michael Jackson was innocent. This was very disturbing to me.”
