Tito Jackson recalled his late brother Michael’s strength during child molestation charges and a court trial in 2005.
“I don’t think he was 100 per cent during the trial because it was the strangest thing to go through. Michael didn’t know if the jurors were believing the stories that were being said in court.
“I remember at the time thinking, ‘Gosh, he is so strong. I could not go through this’. Physically, I was always much stronger than Michael, but mentally he had to be so strong to go through that.”
The Jackson siblings gathered at Michael’s home during the trial, Neverland, to hear the jury’s verdicts, Tito said. “We rushed down to the courthouse. I could tell Michael was a little bothered, a little nervous ? that was only to be expected. But he was more concerned about his children than himself.”
Parents Joe and Katherine had accompanied their son to the court that day. On the way, Michael had said to his mother: “If this doesn?t go right, take care of my kids. Make sure my kids are fine.”
