If this had truly happened I have to believe something would have been said by Jackson's legal team right off. With injuries to this degree we would have heard long ago not now. Jackson is looking for pity and fars as I am concerned he got NONE!

This is so ridiculous and what else would we expect from a male/man?, sitting there in an interview with bright red lipstick on his lips?
My husband would like to smack 'im, but then he is a manly man and redneck, after all!

Sheriff denies Jackson charge of rough treatment
Wednesday, December 31, 2003 Posted: 9:17 PM EST (0217 GMT)

SANTA BARBARA, California (CNN) -- A California sheriff on Wednesday denied that singer Michael Jackson was abused during his arrest on child molestation charges in November, and said he has asked the state attorney general to investigate.

"Should this investigation prove the charges made by Mr. Jackson to be groundless, I will request that criminal charges of false report of peace officer misconduct be pursued against him," Santa Barbara Count Sheriff Jim Anderson told reporters.

California Attorney General Bill Lockyer quickly issued a statement saying he had ordered an independent investigation into whether Jackson's rights were violated. He said he did not know how long it would take, according to a report from The Associated Press.

Jackson, 45, surrendered to authorities November 20 to face multiple allegations of child molestation. The singer is charged with seven counts of performing lewd or lascivious acts on a child under 14 and two counts of administering an intoxicating agent, reportedly wine.

Jackson, who is free on $3 million bail, has said he is innocent.

Santa Barbara Superior Court Judge Clifford Anderson has ordered that search warrants, arrest warrants and other documents pertaining to the Jackson case should remain sealed, at least, until his January 16 arraignment.

The order, issued Wednesday, said that the "materials contain confidential and other information that, if made public, would irreparably harm both the prosecution's and defense's respective investigations."

Both the defense and prosecution agreed with the judge's order.

Sheriff: 'Utmost respect and courtesy'
In an interview aired Sunday on CBS' "60 Minutes," Jackson said deputies dislocated his shoulder by manhandling him, fastened his handcuffs tight enough to leave his wrists swollen and locked him in a feces-smeared restroom for about 45 minutes.

Anderson said he is treating Jackson's statements as a citizen's complaint, but added that Jackson's treatment while in custody "can only be described as professional."

"Mr. Jackson was treated with the utmost respect and courtesy during his arrest, transport and booking and release by all members of this department," Anderson said.

There was no immediate response from Jackson's attorneys to the sheriff's announcement. Jackson's brother, Jermaine, and his lawyer, Mark Geragos, have made similar allegations in CNN interviews, and Geragos warned there would be "repercussions" for Michael Jackson's treatment.

In an audiotape played Wednesday for reporters, Santa Barbara County deputies advise Jackson how to sit more comfortably wearing handcuffs, after Jackson said they hurt him during his trip from the airport to the county jail. Later, Jackson asks to have the air conditioning turned up; when deputies did so and asked how he was doing, Jackson tells them, "wonderful."

"He was also whistling and singing to himself during transport," Anderson said.

The handcuffs were removed about 40 seconds after Jackson arrived at the jail, Anderson said. He also disputed Jackson's assertion that deputies dislocated his shoulder, noting that a videotape shows Jackson waving to onlookers upon his release.

"This activity is inconsistent with Mr. Jackson's claims of injuries incurred during his arrest and booking," Anderson said.

Jackson also complained to "60 Minutes" that police taunted him after locking him in a bathroom that had been smeared with feces.

"It stunk so bad," he said. "Then one of the policemen came by the window, and he made a sarcastic remark. He said, 'Does it smell good enough for you in there? How do you like the smell? Is it good?' And I just simply said, 'It's all right. It's okay.' So I just sat there and waited."

But Anderson said the toilet in the holding cell that Jackson was allowed to use was cleaned shortly before the singer's arrest, and he said neither Jackson nor his lawyers made any complaints at the time.

"I think Mr. Jackson has seriously hurt his credibility," Anderson concluded at Wednesday's news conference.

Jackson has not filed a formal complaint against the department, The Associated Press reported.

Earlier Wednesday, Chief Deputy Fred Olguin, who oversees the jail and was present at Jackson's booking, told NBC's "Today" show that Jackson was handcuffed "around the wrist like any other prisoner," the AP reported.

He said the singer blew a kiss to other inmates as he was checked in, then was kept in a holding room with a toilet, sink and bench for 15 to 20 minutes. He said the holding room is scrubbed once a day, the AP reported.

How angry does this "SFB" make you? Me? Nawwww! MJ and his entourage are too ridiculous to waste my time being angry.

Look - from the git-go, many of us watched (on TV) his plane hit the runway in SB until he was released after booking. Now, I've never had a shoulder (or anything) be dislocated but, (#1)from what I've seen on those TV med shows and heard - the pain is excruciating which MJ never showed; and (#2) if this had been true, my belief is that he would have been ambulanced or escorted to Cottage Hospital (or whichever) for treatment. :uhoh:

Gimmme a break.

And after seeing all those videos and listening to audio's yesterday, my opinion is that he received more respect and courtesy than he deserved. OTOH, I fully believe Sneddon and Anderson planned ahead in the event MJ would "pull this boo-boo" stunt.

C'mon Michael. I double-dare ya. :chicken:

Perhaps this transcript has already been posted - if so, 'scuse me.

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2003/12/28/60minutes/main590381.shtml

Michael Jackson shows his arm which he claims was injured by handcuffs when arrested. (Sure MJ - I think you rec'd this injury when you were waving at fans in Las Vegas through a partially opened window - AFTER your booking in SB. Do you EVER speak the truth?)

Say ther, Michael, you need to hit the weights! A "manly Man" would be ashamed and embarrassed to show those toothpicks you call arms! Grow up and be a man! You say you didn't have a childhood, neither did the rest of us have a childhood that lasted over 20 years! Get with it, boy!
