Jackson Curios Under Wraps

You win some, you lose some.

A judge has barred a New Jersey man from hawking a bunch of Michael Jackson memorabilia, at least until a lawsuit brought about by the entertainer is settled.

Henry Vaccaro scored the costumes, letters, legal documents and more through a bankruptcy proceeding involving Jackson's parents and his brothers, Tito and Jermaine, and promptly put the stuff up for display on a pay-per-view Website.

Jackson's not the only one who's keen to reclaim his old stuff, Santa Barbara prosecutors are also interested in the possessions--though not for sentimental reasons. They recently seized at least two pairs of underwear and some handwritten notes from the huckster's stash as evidence for Jackson's child-molestation case.

In another victory for Jackson, the LAPD cleared him in an investigation into an abuse charge stemming from the late 1980s on Wednesday.

But the good news was short lived as reports have surfaced at ABC News that prosecutors plan to present three independent witnesses who will bolster the allegations that the pop singer served alcohol to his alleged victim and the boy's siblings.

On top of that, it has been suggested that Jackson's former high-profile lawyer Mark Geragos may have played a role in an alleged conspiracy to harass and intimidate the alleged victim's family. Last month, a grand jury indicted Jackson on 10 counts, including felony conspiracy to keep the kid under wraps.

The Gloved One has pleaded innocent to all charges and remains free on $3 million bail. Last week, a judge set Sept. 13 as the start of Jackson's trial.

At the trial, prosecutors are expected to call upon two stewardesses who say the onetime King of Pop asked for his alcohol to be served in Coca-Cola cans on a private plane. Accompanying Jackson on the trip were the alleged victim and his younger brother. The boy has claimed Jackson then gave him alcohol out of those cans.

Another witness for the prosecution is said to be a Jackson security guard who claims to have seen the alleged victim drunk and stumbling around Neverland, near the area where Jackson stashes his liquor. However, the guard says the singer wasn't around when he saw the boy intoxicated.

According to police reports, the alleged victim's younger brother told a psychologist that the booze flowed more frequently among his siblings than previously believed. He claimed his brother was so drunk during two of the four occasions Jackson is accused of molesting him that he passed out in the singer's bed.

A source told ABC that Jackson's camp was so determined to keep the boy's alcohol consumption a secret they asked his mother to cancel a doctor's appointment for a urine test lest it reveal alcohol in his system.

A Jackson aide who offered to accompany the cancer-stricken boy and his mother to the doctor's office allegedly sabotaged the urine sample en route, telling the family that the sample fell over.

The aide has denied the story.

Meanwhile, Jackson's onetime legal rep, Geragos, could also find himself in trouble if it's proven he mounted a harassment campaign against the boy and his family following the February 2003 airing of the documentary Living with Michael Jackson.

When critics began to question the relationship between Jackson and the boy on tape, believed to be his accuser, Geragos publicly proclaimed he put a "plan of action" into place to protect his client from "baseless" allegations of sexual abuse.

This "plan" may have included constant monitoring of the alleged victim and his family over two months, during which time they were "relentlessly hounded and harassed" by Jackson and his associates, according to correspondence between a onetime attorney for the family and Geragos.

The family's former lawyer, William Dickerman, wrote at the time that Team Jackson has been "surveilling and photographing the children's school...throwing rocks at [the mother's] parents home...leaving disturbing notes...and stalking the family by auto and otherwise."

In another letter to Geragos sent Apr. 8, 2003, Dickerman states, "Jackson's harassment of my clients has not ceased, despite my demand that you call off the dogs." In addition, the alleged victim's mother "tells me that while she was at Neverland, Jackson's people said they were acting pursuant to your instructions. Obviously, therefore you are fully aware of what has been going on between Jackson and my clients."

Geragos was replaced in April just days before Jackson was indicted. Because of a gag order surrounding the case, the legal eagle has been unable to comment on the allegations. But earlier this year denied he or any of Jackson's associates had harassed or intimidated the family in any way.
