 EVIDENCE ON HARD COPY! November 10, 2006

At long last, to all the naysayers and michael-bashers that would not believe the innocence of this highly gifted icon. Lynton Guest, the inside man of the evil corporation of Phony... I mean Sony, lays out the evidence that Michael and his fans have long proclaimed. Here, in solid print, is the burden of proof of how highly vulnerable a mega-star like Mike can become. The conspiracy, behind the trail, that no one saw and how calculated the media hunted for negative headlines to destroy not only a man but honest journalism as a whole. If only this book can be submitted as evidence to wipe out the label of guilt, given by public opinion, from a truly innocent man and superstar. Here is your burden of proof!

Read this book in one go and currently re-reading it to really take in all the facts. This is a thorough, well-researched book written by a man with respectable journalistic credentials.
There are long asides and explanations to work through before you get to much information about Michael Jackson himself. However, this approach is better than wild conjecture. Guest maintains a cool head when talking about Jackson. He is certainly no fawning lap dog, mentioning several times that during the 1990s the star was overtaken by his own ego, yet he conveys sympathy for Jackson's plight.
Guest's analysis of the main players in the case is interesting. He makes some pertinent points about the (in my opinion)dastardly Martin Bashir and his role in 'cornering' Michael Jackson - and the fact that Bashir has never really been been taken to task over this. The details he provides about Sony, and the entertainment business in general, certainly hammer home the fact that showbusiness, pop, rock, whatever you want to call it, is no bubblegum business. Perhaps not a book for the fervent fan as Michael Jackson is not at the centre of it - Sony is - but a good read for anyone who wants to know about the machinations of the music industry.

Incredible. That's the only word I can use to describe this book. I spoke with Thomas Mesereau (Michael Jackson's lead defense attorney for his trial) and he had recommended I get this book. I'm so glad I did. If you want to know why it's wonderful, BUY IT!!! It's definitely worth the money!!
And one last thing... MICHAEL JACKSON IS 100% INNOCENT!

This book should be listed in the top 5 list for all Michael Jackson fans. It is poignant and eye opening relegating the history of problems Michael faced relative to his career and his business association with Sony and AEG Live. If you have any doubt of why Michael Jackson is no longer with us, read this book. You will come away awakened. Michael Jackson was not a victim of circumstance, he was a victim of greed and corruption at the high end of the spectrum. He was worth billions more dead than alive to those who stood to gain from his untimely death. A must read. I applaud the author for his honesty and insight.
An "insider" connects the dots! July 5, 2010

The author is a music world "insider". He's not an over-the-top MJ fan and his perspective simply cannot be ignored. I read the book twice. I'm convinced that Michael became a liability and was clearly worth more "dead" than alive--to a great many people!
If you are searching for facts, for interesting insight into the seedy and corrupt world of mega entertainment, you need to read this book. You'll meet the key players, the influence peddlers, the greed-driven. It's all here. And, it's all believable!
Sometime in the not-too-distant future, much of what you learn here will be revealed in mainstream media. At least we all hope so.
