A chef who worked at the Neverland ranch alleged he had caught Jackson with his hands down Macaulay Culkin’s pants, while it was also claimed that the ‘Beat It’ hitmaker coined lewd nicknames for the kids in his orbit.
The Jackson family attorney, Brian Oxman, appeared in Michael Jackson: The Verdict alongside the singer’s former defence attorney Mark Geragos and prosecutor Ron Zonen.
But notably, the man who secured Jackson’s freedom more than two decades ago – Thomas Mesereau – did not feature in the new documentary.
The New York-born lawyer, who has represented stars including Mike Tyson during his career, explained he considers the case to be ‘closed’ – and said he doesn’t understand why the docuseries was green lit.

During an appearance on Piers Morgan Uncensored last week, Mesereau slammed the docuseries while pointing out that its release comes hot on the heels of Antoine Fuqua’s biopic, Michael, hitting cinemas.
“This is a very joyous time for supporters and lovers of Michael Jackson,” he told Piers Morgan. “The biopic is setting all kinds of records, his memorabilia is selling all over the world, his music is streaming all over the world.
“Even his book Moonwalk is flying off the shelves…This is a great time to be a supporter and lover of Michael Jackson.
