Roger Friedman at Fox411 - Jacko Accuser's Testimony 'Shaky'

It's off the news radar for now but this story says:



The grand jury testimony of the 14-year-old boy accusing Michael Jackson of child molestation was not a success, I am told.

Much was made recently of the boy's appearance before a grand jury convened by District Attorney Tom Sneddon in Santa Barbara. As was the case 10 years ago, Sneddon's case against Jackson depends on the grand jury believing the veracity of a teenager. But two grand juries in 1994, you may recall, did not conclude that Jackson had molested anyone.

Now I hear from sources involved with the case that the 14-year-old, who testified recently, did not make a good witness. In fact, I'm told that his own lawyer cut off the questioning when he saw things were getting rough.
