Leno says he never
gave money to accuser
SANTA MARIA, Calif. - Jay Leno is done testifying at the Michael Jackson trial — and his half-hour of testimony may not have been as helpful as the defense had hoped. He was called as a defense witness to help support the contention that the accuser and his family had targeted celebrities, trying to bilk them out of money.
But Leno testified that the boy and his family never asked him for any money, and that he never sent them any.
He did say that the boy had called him a number of times, about five years ago, leaving a series of voice messages saying that Leno was the greatest and that he was the boy’s hero. Leno became annoyed at the calls, and told a friend of his who also knew the boy’s family. She said she’d take care of it — and the calls stopped. And, Leno eventually did call the boy and speak to him when the child was in the hospital, fighting cancer.
The defense had suggested that Leno notified police about the calls — but Leno indicated that hadn’t happened
Leno dedicated much of his “Tonight Show” monologue Monday night to discussing his court appearance.
Noting he has often poked fun at Jackson’s expense, Leno quipped: “I was called by the defense. Apparently they’ve never seen this program.” Referring to the heat wave gripping Southern California, Leno said he’s been “sweating like a Cub Scout” at Jackson’s Neverland Ranch.
Jackson, 46, is accused of molesting the boy in February or March 2003 when he was 13, giving him alcohol and conspiring to hold the boy’s family captive to get them to rebut a documentary in which the boy appeared with Jackson as the entertainer said he let children into his bed for innocent, non-sexual sleepovers.
