Flight Attendant Comes to Jacko's Rescue
Cynthia Ann Bell, an utterly charming flight attendant for Xtra Jet, did a lot to save Michael Jackson's hide yesterday.
In front of the child-molestation trial jury, Bell recalled a flight she made with Jackson and 10 other people from Miami to Santa Barbara, Calif., on Feb. 7, 2003, by private plane.
At issue was the allegation that Jackson served liquor to a minor in a Diet Coke can.
Not only did Bell deny this allegation, she added some unknown details. She said that she "carded" the then-16-year-old sister of the accusing teenage boy in the Jackson case. Nevertheless, she served the girl liquor.
Bell also said that Jackson hated turbulence and was a "private drinker," preferring to hide his wine or vodka in a container or soda can. She conceded, however, that on this flight he did not ask for the concealment — she did it on her own.
She insisted that Jackson never shared his liquor with the accusing boy.
But Bell had harsh words for the boy, recalling that he started a food fight on the plane, complained that his chicken dinner was cold and was "unusually rude and discourteous."
"It was embarrassing to have him on board, actually," she added.
The stewardess also recalled that the accusing boy talked about "getting a watch from Michael" and boasted that "it was very expensive."
Bell, called as a prosecution witness, did more harm than good to District Attorney Tom Sneddon's case. The jury seemed captivated by her.
Bell's testimony continues today.
Praticamente questa Bell è una testimone dell'accusa, è un'assistente di volo. Ma il fatto è che ha detto che Gavin era insopportabile in aereo. Che MJ non le aveva chiesto di fare le lattine con il vino per quel famoso volo incriminato, ma che le ha riempite lei di sua spontanea volontà e che non ha mai visto MJ dare da bere a Gavin.
la giornata si è quasi salvata...quasi...
