@November: Sicher hat Mike ihn verdächtigt u. entlassen, er hat das auf Drängen anderer getan, Konitzer, Geffen...ABER er hat ihn wieder eingestellt...warum wohl? Wenn ihr alles mal, soweit es möglich ist, objektiv betrachtet, ist doch die ganze Kacke für Mike erst durch die Leute entstanden, die nach Branca kamen. Jene Leute, weswegen Branca 2005 nach dem Prozeß gesagt hat...nicht mit mir!
Für mich hat Mike da einen ganz ganz großen Fehler begangen Branca gehen zu lassen. Aber das ist nur mein Empfinden, nach allem was in diesen 8 Monaten gelesen habe.
Von/über DiLeo (dieser Mann würde Mike niemals was böses antun...davon kann mich keiner hier abbringen)
Und ich bin fest davon überzeugt, dass Michael die beiden für TII zurückgeholt hat, weil er dachte, mit ihnen würde er es nochmal schaffen an gute alte Zeiten und Erfolge anzuknüpfen.
When Jackson went on trial in 2005, Frank stayed in Los Angeles for over three months, on his own dime:
“I know that he is innocent. A lot of people attack him for a lot of different reasons. One is, everybody would love to get their hands on the Beatles’ publishing. And he’s just one of those guys, he’s real kind and real nice and he can easily be taken advantage of.
In this particular case, this kid had cancer, he found him a doctor, they didn’t have any money, he allowed them to live on his ranch. And when it was over, they didn’t want to leave. It was like blackmail. That’s all it was.
We talked at each and every break. I wanted to let him know that I know he didn’t do it. In fact, when I went there, he didn’t know I was coming. It was very emotional.
He went, ‘Frank, I can’t believe you’re here.’ And he started to cry. And I went over and I hugged him and we got on the elevator and he told [defense attorney] Tom Mesereau, ‘This is Frank Dileo. He used to manage me. I’ve had nine managers since then. He’s the only guy that showed up, or even called to see how I’m doing.’ That was a very rough thing on him, a very emotional thing.”
Since the mid-’90s, Dileo’s been keeping a low profile. He’s a family man—he’s been married to his wife Linda for 31 years and wanted to be near his children. Shortly thereafter, Dileo started to lose his eyesight. By 2004, he was blind, a result of diabetic retinopathy. But a series of four operations over the next couple of years restored much of his sight.
Meanwhile, Dileo started a management company, where he’s working with singer-songwriter Galen Griffin. And he’s about to pen a deal to start a publishing company with a successful songwriter/producer he doesn’t want to name yet.
Contrary to what you might expect, his office is a humble space in a nondescript building. But hanging on those office walls are enough gold and platinum records to make your head spin. And there is also a framed photograph of Frank Dileo and Michael Jackson, from behind, standing at urinals in a public restroom. Above Michael’s head, in Michael’s handwriting, are the words:
“This water sure is cold.” Above Frank’s head, he wrote, “It’s deep too.”
