Jackson prosecution present phone evidence

The prosecution in the Michael Jackson trial have revealed phone calls held between the star's associates in the period surrounding the broadcast of Martin Bashir's documentary.

It was not explained to the jury exactly how the phone records and testimony of an associate cashing two huge cheques on a shared account with Jackson affect the prosecution's argument, but it implies that there was a frenzy in the Jackson camp to limit the damage caused by the Living With Michael Jackson documentary.

Prosecutor Mag Nicola presented charts of the calls, mostly between three men, Gavin Arviso's mother and Jackson's employees and legal team. On cross-examination it was established that there was no way to confirm whether or not Jackson himself took part in the conversations.
