Santa Maria, Calif. - Michael Jackson's attorney tried to prove that the 14-year-old brother of Jackson's accuser boy was lying in the singer's child molestation case.
The 14-year-old brother of Jackson's accuser testified on Monday about allegedly witnessing two molestations in the master bedroom at Jackson's Neverland Ranch.
But defense attorney Thomas Mesereau got the boy to acknowledge on Tuesday that Jackson had not really shown him or his brother a particular sexually explicit magazine.
The boy was caught by surprise when Mesereau confronted him with his testimony from Monday that Jackson never showed him and his brother a magazine called Barely Legal, which was displayed by District Attorney Tom Sneddon as a significant piece of evidence seized from Jackson's home. The boy reiterated he was sure it was the exact magazine Jackson showed them in a suitcase full of magazines.
The boy said 'Yes'.
