1. Sit down interview with Uri Geller. Including soundbites:
"I believe that Michael Jackson is innocent for various reasons, first of all it is inconceivable for me to accept or believe or suspect that he molested a child. I can not believe that he has done that."
"I actually hypnotized Michael he said lets give it a try and I took him in to a deep hypnosis. I gave him affirmations about something totally different that I wont go in to and then I did something highly unethical from my side and I simply asked him about those first allegations, which were the only things I knew about, and Michael under hypnosis told me that nothing of the nature happened. To me that was enough to totally except him and love him as a friend and for me that says everything. I have never spoken about this before but I think it's about time for me to say this."
"I believe that this case will crumble. I believe that the mother will at some stage through depositions will admit that she manipulated her child to lie. This is obviously totally my opinion."
"Michael Jackson has an incredible store of strength of him. What Michael Jackson can do and I hope he will do it lock on to the positive energies that his fans send him. The millions of people who love Michael Jackson project towards him. It's almost like a tangible energy, a force, it's consciousness. In think that will pull him through. He also has his family who stand by him. He has a few good friends and he is a strong person."
"I believe that Michael Jackson simply lives in his own world, a child's worlds. He is 45 years old but in heart, spirit, mind and soul he is still a kid living in a body of a 45 year old. He doesn't understand that the outside world finds it suspicious when you invite children to sleep in your bedroom. He believes that he gives unconditional love to kids and this is a problem. Even when he was on that documentary with Martin Bashir he was sitting holding a child's hand. Now come on, if he had anything to hide, would he do that."
"I as a father would not send my children to anyone's bedroom to sleep over night. It's just not acceptable, not even to Michael Jackson's bedroom, although I know that he would not do anything bad to them but it's just not right and that's what Michael doesn't understand. He can't decipher the feelings and the notions and the general outcry of people when they hear that he behaves that way. That was one of the things that I told him twice."
"He thinks that he can anything and maybe that is where he went wrong and I hope that he will grow up and I hope that very soon he will be found innocent and the world will have to have a look again and say what have we done to this man and why."
