Prosecutors identify Jackson fingerprints
SANTA MARIA, Calif. - Prosecutors in Michael Jackson’s child molestation trial on Friday showed the jury fingerprints they said were left by Jackson and his accuser on sexually explicit magazines seized from the pop star’s Neverland ranch.
A magazine called Hustler Barely Legal Hardcore from October 2000 had Jackson’s left thumb print on page 54 and three fingerprints from the accuser on page 92, according to witness Robert Spinner, who is retired from Santa Barbara County’s forensics unit but continues to do work for the county.
A fingerprint from the accuser was also found on a September 1993 copy of a magazine called Visions of Fantasy Sam and Jose’s Black Starlett, while another print was found on a calendar for adult videos, he said.
Fingerprints from the accuser’s brother were found on a December 2000 copy of Finally Legal, and 12 Jackson fingerprints were found on other magazines that did not have prints from either boy, Spinner said.
