Jermaine Jackson has told how he lined-up an escape plan, just in case his late brother Michael was found guilty of the child molestation charges he suffered back in 2005.
The 56 year-old singer and bassist claims that he had a jet, paid for and secured by a friend of his, ready to take Michael Jackson to Bahrain, a country which doesn’t have an extradition treaty – meaning Michael would be home free. Luckily, the King of Pop was found not guilty and the plan never went ahead.
“If they were going to sit and crucify my brother for something that he didn’t do,” Jermaine said. “America deserves us not to come back here. At the end of the day, this is supposed to be the land of the brave, home of the free, democracy, freedom of speech.
“The way they were treating him, none of that existed. Why should he go to jail for something he didn’t do?”
Jermaine went on to claim that MJ was not told about the plan, but also said that he thinks that Michael would have hopped straight on the plane without argument.
