I was amused by the news segment on Channel 4 about Michael Jackson's indictment on multiple charges today. Unfortunately, they don't have anything on the web about it yet, but I found the quote I was looking for at Voice of America:
"This case is not about lawyers or anyone else becoming celebrities," [Jackson's lawyer, Thomas Mesereau] said. "This defense is going to be conducted with professionalism and dignity at all times. This case is about one thing only. It's about the dignity[1], the integrity[2], the decency[3], the honor[4], the charity[5], the innocence[6], and the complete vindication[7] of a wonderful human being named Michael Jackson."
Is it any wonder the US entertainment industry is based in California?
