LOS ANGELES -- Santa Barbara County prosecutors said they will file charges in the molestation case against Michael Jackson on Thursday or Friday, and they have hired a public relations firm to handle the expected crush of news media inquiries.

The charges will be filed at the courthouse in Santa Maria, near the singer's Neverland Ranch, District Attorney Thomas Sneddon said in a statement.

Sneddon's hiring of a firm to deal with the media drew immediate criticism from Jackson family spokesman Brian Oxman. He said it was improper, because "a district attorney is supposed to try the case in court, not in the press."

1. Oh good...........

a celebrity case to distract the masses.

I thought Jackson was in the clear on this...what happened? The Cable News Networks need to fill precious newsprogramming time with non-events?

2. Sneddon backed himself into a corner at that nutty news conference

Despite the evidence trickling in disputing Jacko's accusers, Snodden, because of his grandstanding, has no choice but to persue the charges...

3. Child Abuse

District Attorney Sneddon may well have committed child abuse---he's got nine kids. I'd hate to be a lost kid in that family!!! Graduated from Notre Dame---maybe a conservative Catholic, as opposed to a Liberal Catholic.

4. RIDICULOUS!

What has come out lately shows this whole thing was nothing but a scam to shake money out of Jackson. :argh:
