Vincent Amen, one of the five unnamed, unindicted alleged co-conspirators in the Michael Jackson case, secretly got immunity from the prosecution on Dec. 30, 2004. The problem is, what Amen then told prosecutors was incredibly damaging to their case. He is now free to testify for Jackson without fear of penalty. . . .
[I]n papers filed by Jackson's attorneys this afternoon we've learned that what Amen said "contradicted the statements of the Arvizo family and defeated circumstantial evidence inferences which the government has made. As a whole, Mr. Amen's statements were exculpatory."
In other words: The conspiracy case � already weakened to the point of being laughable � is all but over. Amen was the key participant in the government's reasoning that there was some kind of conspiracy. He spent the most time with the Arvizos and knows more about them than anyone.
According to today's filing, the defense will call Amen shortly. . . .
According the the above from Fox "News" -- it's going south.
