The kid that said Michael Jackson touched him just came out and said he lied. By Power Web Diva

He is saying his pops wanted loot which is the reason behind the false accusation. Also, reports from the initial autopsy are in and MJ was worse off than we realized:

After the sudden death of Michael Jackson Evan Chandler tells the truth.

Evan- “Now for the first time i can’t bare to lie anymore. Michael Jackson didn’t do anything to me, all of this was my father lies to escape from being poor.”

In 1993, Chandler told a psychiatrist and police that he and Jackson had engaged in sexual acts that included oral sex, the boy gave detailed description of Jackson’s genitals. The case was settled out of court for a reported $22 million, but the strain led Jackson to begin taking painkillers. Eventually he became addicted.

Now maybe for the remorse of his death Chandler decides to tell us the truth. ” I never meant to lie and destroy Michael Jackson but my father made me to tell only lies. Now i can’t tell Michael how much i’m sorry and if he will forgive me “.Evan Chandler was tape-recorded saying amongst other things, “If I go through with this, I win big-time. There’s no way I lose. I will get everything I want and they will be destroyed forever…

Under the influence of a controversial father (Jordan Chandler) told his son to tell that Jackson had touched his penis.Jordan Chandler then told a psychiatrist and later police that he and Jackson had engaged in acts of kissing, masturbation and oral sex, as well as giving a detailed description of what he alleged were the singer’s genitals.

” Now for the first time i can’t bare to lie anymore. Michael Jackson didn’t do anything to me, all was my father lies to escape from being poor.”

Tributes have begun flowing in today after it was announced Michael Jackson has died at the age of 50.

The King of Pop was pronounced dead on Thursday by the Los Angeles coroners’ office with reports suggesting he died from a cardiac arrest.

Since the news broke, a number of celebrities and high-profile figures from around the world have started paying tribute to the star and commenting on his death through the media or on the social-messaging website Twitter.

British foreign minister David Miliband: Never has one soared so high, yet died so low. RIP Michael Jackson.

Miley Cyrus: Michael Jackson was my inspiration. Love and blessings.

Uri Gellar: I am devastated. I pray his soul is up there now.

Rev Al Sharpton: I feel like he was not treated fairly. I hope history will be more kind to him than some of the contemporary media.

Demi Moore: I’m greatly saddened for the loss of both Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson. Especially for their children.

Ashton Kutcher: Mike Jackson passed away today from a heart attack. That’s what Tmz.com said. Wow..pray for his kids.

Quincy Jones: I am absolutely devastated at this tragic and unexpected news.

Court finds convicts have NO RIGHTS to test DNA

U.S. Courts Video:State budget battle heads to Arizona Supreme Court KTVK 3TV Phoenix

By MARK SHERMAN, Associated Press Writer – 12 mins ago

WASHINGTON – The Supreme Court said Thursday that convicts have no constitutional right to test DNA evidence in hopes of proving their innocence long after they were found guilty of a crime.

The decision may have limited impact because the federal government and 47 states already have laws that allow convicts some access to genetic evidence. Testing so far has led to the exoneration of 240 people who had been found guilty of murder, rape and other violent crimes, according to the Innocence Project.

The court ruled 5-4, with its conservative justices in the majority, against an Alaska man who was convicted in a brutal attack on a prostitute 16 years ago.

William Osborne won a federal appeals court ruling granting him access to a blue condom that was used during the attack. Osborne argued that testing its contents would firmly establish his innocence or guilt.

In parole proceedings, however, Osborne has admitted his guilt in a separate bid for release from prison.

The high court reversed the ruling by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco. States already are dealing with the challenges and opportunities presented by advances in genetic testing, Chief Justice John Roberts said in his majority opinion.

“To suddenly constitutionalize this area would short-circuit what looks to be a prompt and considered legislative response,” Roberts said. Alaska, Massachusetts and Oklahoma are the only states without DNA testing laws. In some other states, the laws limit testing to capital crimes or rule out after-the-fact tests for people who confess.

But Justice John Paul Stevens said in dissent that a simple test would settle the matter. “The court today blesses the state’s arbitrary denial of the evidence Osborne seeks,” Stevens said.

Peter Neufeld, a co-founder of The Innocence Project who argued Osborne’s case at the Supreme Court, said he was disappointed with the ruling.

“There is no question that a small group of innocent people — and it is a small group — will languish in prison because they can’t get access to the evidence,” Neufeld said. The Innocence Project helps free wrongly convicted prisoners.

The woman in Alaska was raped, beaten with an ax handle, shot in the head and left for dead in a snow bank near Anchorage International Airport. The condom that was found nearby was used in the assault, the woman said.

The woman identified Osborne as one of her attackers. Another man also convicted in the attack has repeatedly incriminated him. Osborne himself described the assault in detail when he admitted his guilt under oath to the parole board in 2004.

Osborne’s lawyer passed up advanced DNA testing at the time of his trial, fearing it could conclusively link him to the crime. A less-refined test by the state showed that the semen did not belong to other suspects, but could be from Osborne, as well as about 15 percent of all African-American men.

Osborne is awaiting sentencing on another conviction, a robbery he committed after his parole.

The case is District Attorney’s Office v. Osborne, 08-6.

Tori Lewis

Attitude, Tori’s debut album is a mixture of Pop and hip hop-influenced R&B tracks that breathes life back into the genre with solid lyrical content and fresh new sounds crafted by the talented producer “Water”.   

Born in Atlanta, and now attending Chicago’s Columbia College of performing arts, Tori’s interests include singing, dancing, acting and script writing.  Charm, personality, presence, call it what you like, but Tori has that magical quality reminiscence of many of the superstars in pop music today.

Attitude’s journey began when Tori was 15 years old.  In fact, Tori recorded the song “King” just shy of her 16^th birthday.  King was a sign of good things to come in Tori’s development as an artist, as she continued to mature and engage life experiences.

Along this developmental road, Tori recorded the Poprock&B track “Any Minute Now,” the saucy “I’m Sexy”, the confident female empowering “Deleted”, and a host of other soon to be well known songs.  Tori shows off her dynamic range and vocal versatility, while taking the listeners on an auditory ride with the pop, rock and R&B influenced “Any Minute Now.”  She shows her sexy, playful side in the Pop club joint “I’m Sexy”; and, empowers all women to take charge of their relationships in the delightful song “Deleted.”

As Tori musical journey continued beyond her debut album, she recorded the sensuous “Blow Up”, as well as the clairvoyant con-man buster “Supervision”.  In “Supervision” Tori confidently boasts, “I can see before you play ‘em count the cards in my head, you’re a joker tryna play me get this queen in your bed, I’ve got that Supervision.’” 

She’s got that Supervision, bringing attitude, tenacity and star power to the game.  Keep watching, keep listening.  Oh yea, that ticking that you hear is a count down… 3-2-1 BOOM!   Tori’s about to blow up!

THE INTERCULTURAL MUSEUM ART GALLERY presents “THE URBAN INDIVIDUALISTS” This artist collective was born from the vision of Helene Ruiz, an artist who resides and works out of her apartment in the Bronx, NY. Her vision is to assemble a group of artists, both visual and performing, into a collective body. This group represents a multicultural network of collaborating individualists cohesively working as a unit. Ms. Ruiz has worked long hours to link her dream to the aspirations of others.

The Urban Individualists believe that we can make an impact in art as a collective body, separated only by our distinct styles. We have a voice that needs to be heard and a vision that needs to be seen. Presenting: “ECLECTIC URBANISM, SPACE, TIME AND RHYTHM” this exhibit contemplates apparent aspects of space, time and rhythm as well as an “eclectic” and “urban” perspective of the connections and disconnections between space, time and rhythm.
