Dear Michael Jackson

It makes absolutely no difference how many people gather in Santa Maria in support of you, you're being charged with seven counts of performing lewd or lascivious acts upon a child under 14 and two counts of administering an intoxicating agent, not running for president. They won't drop the charges if you fill the streets with your fans. Our legal system is alot of things but it is not a popularity contest. Get yourself the very best lawyer you can afford and you, your family and your friends would do best to shut the hell up and try hard not to look like a complete idiot! I know it's hard and actually too late, but do it anyway. Any meeting of "the brain trusts" for your management will end up being a fight over who gets the last pieces of your estate as you go down in flames. Keep as many "business people" away from you as possible, don't you have one or two advisors you've worked with for many years and can trust? You can't trust a room full of "brain trusts" that's for damn sure. And you can't be 1000% innocent, again, tell your family not to help you publicly, but if you are 100% innocent, heaven help you cause there are way too many cooks in your kitchen and they are putting you on the buffet.
