Michael Jackson Estate is fighting to keep sealed court records out of the hands of Robson and Safechuck ahead of trial.
Robson and Safechuck’s lawyers have subpoenas the county sheriff’s offices and the district attorneys of Los Angeles and Santa Barbara counties to obtain sealed police records from the 1993 case.
The Estate believes that Robson and Safechuck’s are after those photos taken by the police.
The Estate filed a motion Wednesday in Los Angeles County Superior Court to quash those four subpoenas saying they are also protected by a court-entered protective order:
“Beyond the invasion of privacy issues, the available records indicate the photographs Plaintiffs now seek are also subject to a strict protective order agreed to by Michael Jackson and Santa Barbara law enforcement and entered by the Santa Barbara Superior Court,”
The Estate went on to say that the photos were “not taken willingly” and were “the result of a court-ordered search based on a false statement in what became a discredited criminal investigation.”
“To allow Plaintiffs to exploit that series of circumstances to their benefit by obtaining those photographs now adds a second defilement to the first,”
As fans, we all know how dramatic those pictures were to Michael and how they affected him and we hope the Estate will manage to stop those subpoenas.
