Michael Jackson's Silence

Chandler's attorney Larry Feldman: "I ask everyone to not judge him by these staged media events, but to judge him by his actions" The resolution of this case is in no way an admission of guilt by Michael Jackson. Though it wasn't known at the time, Michael's settlement with the Chandler family consisted of a payment of over $18 million and a provision that neither Michael Jackson, Jordan Chandler, nor his parents would speak to the media ever again.
