News of Michael Jackson's appearances in court on paedophile charges in 2005 was broadcast to hundreds of millions of people around the world. Everyone had opinions about the testimony and the witnesses as the drama was played out in the small town of Santa Maria in California. This book not only tells the story of that trial but of what was secretly going on behind the scenes - a far more important and mysterious tale than that unfolding in the courthouse. 'The Trials of Michael Jackson' reveals the sensational events which led to the downfall of a megastar at the hands of the mighty Sony company and an obsessive but compliant prosecutor. Using previously unpublished material, personal interviews and evidence gathered during research on three continents, Lynton Guest uncovers the truth about the bitter feud between one of the biggest corporations in the world and pop music's greatest legend. For the first time, the reasons behind Martin Bashir's infamous documentary and the strange decisions taken by the Santa Barbara prosecutor, are laid bare. The incredible machinations of the men from Japan and their American allies were designed to ensure nothing less than the destruction of Michael Jackson and billions of dollars of profit for Sony. 'The Trials of Michael Jackson' takes us on a roller-coaster ride, from the ashes of a defeated Japan in 1945 to the twenty-first century celebrity culture which now spans the globe. It provides the most authoritative look yet at the music business and its extreme excesses over the last forty years. But more than anything else 'The Trials of Michael Jackson' shows how the man who gave us 'Thriller', the biggest selling record of all time, was hunted down and all but destroyed by forces beyond even his control. As Jackson attempts to put his life back together in Bahrain, those who seek to benefit from his demise have not gone away. They remain in the shadows, watching and waiting. It's time they were held up to the light. The book From the Author This book came about as a result of a chance conversation with someone whose knowledge of, and experience in, the highest echelons of the music industry are second to none. During the course of the exchange I was given some information about Michael Jackson which was unknown to the public. With the singer on trial in California, everyone was gossiping about the case in their spare time, including me. In the words made famous during the Watergate scandal of the 1970s, I began to ��follow the money��. As an historian, researcher and journalist I knew from the information I received that there was something being hidden or obscured that was much bigger and more important than we were being told at the time. I could just feel it. Little by little, as I ranged from London, via New York and California, all the way to Tokyo, the incredible story contained in these pages began to reveal itself. During the course of this journey I have also plundered my own past, to try to make sense of some of the things I was discovering. By including this material, I hope to show that the events central to this book are not part of some one-off aberration, but have been woven into the fabric of the music business since its inception. Anyone who loves music or who is a fan of any artist should read on. The dark underbelly of the entertainment world is not a pretty sight. It is time to hold it up to the light. # Hardcover: 176 pages # Publisher: Aureus Publishing; First edition (23 Oct 2006) # Language English

Despite Michael Jackson's spectacular fame, no one has ever published a fully inclusive and comprehensive biography with inside information about his highly dramatic life. All of that changed with the release of this book. Meticulously researched over several tumultuous decades, it explores and explains many of the secrets that Michael Jackson wanted to keep hidden from the world. It explores the man behind the myth, a public figure whose eyes are often hidden behind dark glasses, his face obscured by an even darker mask. It's peppered with quotes from the subject himself. But for deeper insights, author Darwin Porter turned to the hundreds of Jackson associates who were linked to the growth, maintenance, and/or decline of his spectacular career and severely bruised public image. Ironically, long after the headlines died, thousands of celebrity watchers and pop music fans continued their obsession with this charismatic star, wildly celebrating his acquittal from child molestation charges in California. But after restless wanderings in Bahrain, Ireland, England, and France, where Michael will go next is a question the author tries to answer. Ironically, everyone knows Michael's music, but despite its commercial and artistic success, the world is more concerned with what he does whenever he's not onstage. His saga is unique in the American entertainment industry, moving from the poverty of America's Rust Belt (Gary, Indiana) to the oil-enriched desert sands of Bahrain, with detours en route to Neverland, Michael's private Land of Oz. The most talked-about and written-about megastar in history, Michael Jackson is stranger than we ever knew, as will be revealed within the pages to come. This is the story of a brown-skinned boy with a big nose who moonwalked his way into "the world of white," with a re-sculpted face and financial assets that the rest of the world seemingly felt free to pillage. Michael's talent was and is the stuff of legends: He didn't exactly pounce out of the womb singing and dancing...but he came close. Michael is Peter Pan, the child-man who invited to his bed boys who were too young, yet too far advanced in their savvy not to react, sometimes with venom. Jordie Chandler walked away with $25 million after "sleeping over." Cancer-stricken Gavin Arvizo, who sued Michael and lost, got nothing. During the 1980s, at the peak of his career, Michael was the most famous man on the planet, a sex symbol known for wearing fetish gear and grabbing his crotch onstage. Post-millennium, he became the object of ridicule and scorn, hounded by the press and by the courts, the object of as many as 50 new lawsuits a year. This book examines the route of his decline. It's a story of a pop-culture icon who wandered into a treacherous Garden of Eden and tasted its forbidden fruit. This biography will lead you to a rare, behind-the-scenes look at Michael Jackson, with insights into a glittering cast of characters that only a lifetime like his could have linked together. In addition to the names already noted, they included Elizabeth Taylor, Katharine Hepburn, Jane Fonda, Madonna, Princess Di, Prince (the singer), Mick Jagger, Paul McCartney, Diana Ross, Tatum O'Neal, Brooke Shields, Sammy Davis Jr., Coretta Scott King, Quincy Jones, Berry Gordy, Jr., Johnnie Cochran, Sophia Loren, Frank Sinatra, Louis Farrakhan and even Lisa Marie Presley and that dad of hers. Enquiring minds might ask: "Is Michael a pedophile or an innocent victim of his own fame?" You decide. Within this book, like the evidence in a jury trial, it's all spread out before you. It's been said that what Michael wants engraved on his tombstone is: "DON'T JUDGE ME." Hopefully, after reading this book, observers of the Jackson saga might form some unexpected conclusions of their own. # Hardcover: 542 pages # Publisher: Blood Moon Productions, Ltd; First Edtion edition (7 Jun 2007) # Language English
