DECLARATION OF J. CHANDLER
CHANDLER
I, J. Chandler, declare:
1. I am the plaintiff in this lawsuit against Michael
Jackson. I was born on January 11, 1980 and am
13 years old. I am currently in the eighth grade. I
first met Michael Jackson when I was five years
old at a restaurant that my mother, stepfather and I
often went to.
2. In about May of 1992 I met Michael Jackson again
at my stepfather's car rental business, Rent-a-
Wreck. My stepfather called me and told me that
Michael Jackson was at Rent-a-Wreck and that I
should come down and see him. Later I learned
from my stepfather that Michael Jackson's car had
broken down and that he was at Rent-a-Wreck to
get another car while his was being repaired.
3. After I met Michael Jackson at Rent-a-Wreck he
began calling me on the telephone. From about
May of 1992 until about February 1993 (when I
first spent the weekend with Michael Jackson at
Neverland), I received many telephone calls from
Michael Jackson. For at least part of this time
Michael Jackson was on tour and he would be
calling me from various places throughout the
world. On occasion these telephone conversations
lasted as long as three hours. Michael Jackson and
I talked about video games, the Neverland Ranch,
water fights, and famous people that he knew.
4. In about February 1993, my mother, Lily (my half
sister), and I went to Neverland at the invitation of
Michael Jackson. The three of us stayed together
in the guest area. I did not spend the nights with
Michael Jackson. This was a weekend trip.
5. I spent the entire weekend with Michael Jackson.
We went on jet skis in a small lake he had, saw the
animals that he kept at Neverland, played video
games and went on golf cart rides. One evening he
took Lily and me to Toys 'R Us and we were
allowed to get anything we wanted. Although the
store was closed, it was opened just for our visit.
6. In late March 1993, my mother, Lily and I went to
Las Vegas as a guest of Michael Jackson. We flew
on a private airplane. We stayed at a large suite at
the Mirage Hotel. My mother and Lily shared a
bedroom. We stayed at the Mirage Hotel about a
DECLARACIÓ DE J.
Jo, J. Chandler, declare:
1. Jo sóc el demandant en aquest judici contra
Michael Jackson. Vaig néixer el 11 de gener de
1980 i tinc 13 anys d'edat. Actualment estic en
el vuitè curs. Vaig conèixer a Michael Jackson
per primera vegada quan tenia cinc anys en un
restaurant on anava sovint, junt a la meva
mare i padrastre.
2. Al voltant de maig de 1992 em vaig trobar
de nou amb Michael Jackson a l'empresa de
lloguer de cotxes del meu padrastre, Rent-a-
Wreck. El meu sogre em va trucar i em va dir
que Michael Jackson estava en Rent-a-Wreck i
que jo hauria d’anar a veure’l. Més tard vaig
saber per part del meu padrastre que el cotxe
de Michael Jackson s'havia espatllat i que
estava a Rent-a-Wreck per a obtenir un altre
cotxe mentre el seu va era reparat.
3. Després que vaig conèixer a Michael
Jackson a Rent-a-Wreck va començar a trucar-
me per telèfon. Des de voltant de maig de 1992
fins al voltant de febrer de 1993 (quan per
primera vegada vaig passar un cap de setmana
amb Michael Jackson a Neverland), he rebut
moltes trucades telefòniques de Michael
Jackson. En una bona part d’aquest temps
Michael Jackson estava de gira i em trucava
des de diferents llocs arreu del món. En
ocasions, aquestes converses telefòniques
duraven fins a tres hores. Michael Jackson i jo
parlàvem de videojocs, del Neverland Ranch,
guerres d'aigua, i de la gent famosa que ell
coneixia.
4. Al voltant de febrer de 1993, la meva mare,
Lily (la meva germanastra), i jo vam anar a
Neverland convidats per Michael Jackson. Els
tres ens vam quedar a la zona de convidats. No
vaig passar les nits amb Michael Jackson.
Aquest va ser un viatge de cap de setmana.
5. Vaig passar tot el cap de setmana amb
Michael Jackson. Vam anar en motos d'aigua a
un petit llac que hi havia, vaig veure els
animals mantinguts a Neverland, jugar a
vídeojocs i passejar conduint en cotxets de
golf. Una nit ell va portar-nos a Lily i a mi a
Toys' R Us i ens va deixar agafar tot el que
vulguerem. Encara que la botiga estava
tancada, es va obrir només per la nostra visita.
6. A finals de març de 1993, la meva mare, Lily
i jo vam anar a Las Vegas com a convidats de
Michael Jackson. Vam volar en un avió privat.
