LOS ANGELES - Michael Jackson (news) is replacing high-profile attorneys Mark Geragos and Benjamin Brafman in his child molestation case, the lawyers told The Associated Press on Sunday.
Jackson's new lawyer will be Thomas Mesereau Jr., another well-known criminal defense attorney who represented actor Robert Blake (news) in his murder case until they recently parted company, citing irreconcilable differences.
"Based on recent developments and discussions with various persons in the Jackson camp, it became clear that it would be best if Mark and I decided to step down," Brafman said. "And that's what we elected to do."
Asked why, Brafman said, "For reasons we choose not to discuss publicly."
He added, "We both wish Michael well."
Mesereau, reached as he was leaving Florida after meeting there with Jackson, declined to comment immediately but said he would speak late Sunday or early Monday.
Jackson's spokeswoman, Raymone K. Bain, said she was unaware of the change when asked about it by a reporter.
Io non riesco a capire se Michael voglia fare del male a se stesso o cosa.Avrebbe licenziato i suoi legali,e ne avrebbe assunto un altro:Thomas Mesereau.
