This is hard to do, because from the outset the film is clearly manipulative. Throughout its 4 hour length, filmmaker Dan Reed subtly prods Robson and Safechuck with suggestions to steer their story a certain way. https://twitter.com/BeastieBrey/status/1103169565545115648 …

Further, the film often accompanies the accusers’ words with melancholy music, and shots of MJ with creepy music, a sign that Reed is pushing for an emotional reaction from viewers, rather than the cerebral one that someone interested in getting to the truth might hope for.

The movie also omits any info that might contradict the narrative being woven by Reed and the accusers, with the only dissenting voice being that of MJ himself in archival footage, a ghost jailed in celluloid, helplessly protesting its innocence to the sneers of eerie violins.

Unfortunately, anyone who is not taken in by the emotional heft of the narrative and accompanying music, and who actually delves into some of the claims made, will quickly notice serious inconsistencies in the testimonies of the accusers and their families. For instance:

1) Robson claims in the film that he and his co-accuser Safechuck never met each other as adults. This is false. In a 2016 deposition, it was confirmed that they met in 2014, and that they even have the same attorneys.pic.twitter.com/YYzD7iDb6l

2) And yet, their accounts often contradict each other. Safechuck continually portrays MJ as paranoid, secretive, and ultra-cautious in his abuse, while Robson continually portrays MJ as wild, reckless and brazen in his abuse.

3) When Robson and Safechuck’s claims do match, they are often similar to those described in “Michael Jackson Was My Lover”, by Victor Gutierrez, which was resoundingly debunked in court as the erotic fiction of a fantasist and child rape apologist.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qb5UVMwTC5g …

4) Robson claims that MJ arranged for Robson’s migration to the US for the “explicit purpose” of sexually abusing him. This is contradicted by the claim that Robson’s parents asked MJ to sponsor Robson so they could migrate.https://twitter.com/JuliaBerkowitz1/status/1084406028341559296 …

Justice for The Falsely Accused @JuliaBerkowitz1The role of MJ's companies in all this was that when Joy eventually decided to immigrate in September 1991, the Robsons needed a sponsor and an employer in the USA to be able to stay. Joy asked MJ to help them with that, and MJ instructed his office to do it. pic.twitter.com/nm4ekhaHdHShow this thread1 reply 50 retweets 167 likesShow this thread -
5) "Oh thank god, he can't hurt any more children. Those were my thoughts, and I danced. I was so happy he died." This is what Safechuck's mother claims she said on hearing of MJ's death. The problem is, MJ died in 2009, 4 years before her son “realised” he’d been abused.

Replying to @G_S_Bhogal
This is wrong. Safechuck had already confided in his mother during 2005 trial that jackson was evil meaning she had doubts about Michael and put 2 and 2 together in relation to previous sex abuse trial.

Yes, but this explanation also has its inconsistencies:https://twitter.com/G_S_Bhogal/status/1103785904508932099 …
