You're welcome.
Glad to be here.
Actually, about three months, I would say, because I mean, I'd watched Michael Jackson's trial in 2005 or the coverage and read it because I'm a lawyer and it interested me because they had great lawyers on both sides.
And then Claire Lehman, the editor of Quillette, asked me to take a look at it, given the new biopic.
And so I spent a lot of time really intensively researching the case.
Not really.
Not since 2005.
Okay.
Sure.
So Geordie Chandler was born in 1980.
And he actually met Michael Jackson in a restaurant sometime in the late 1980s, but just very fleetingly because they lived in L.A.
And Geordie Chandler's father was Evan Chandler, who he called himself a dentist to the stars.
So he was a dentist in Los Angeles.
And his mother was June Chandler.
And in 2000, I believe it was 1992, I'm sorry, Michael Jackson's car broke down in LA, and he pulled into a rent-a-wreck car rental agency.
And that rent-a-wreck agency was actually run by David Schwartz, who was the new husband of June Chandler, so Geordie Chandler's stepfather.
and so an employee there said my god we've got michael jackson here and we you know everyone knew that jordy chandler was a huge fan so david schwartz called up jordy and said you know go meet your idol and he leaped in a car and went out there and you know they met and michael jackson was very nice and they exchanged phone numbers contact details
And then Geordie Chandler began hanging out with Michael Jackson.
Michael Jackson had already been hanging out with prepubescent boys for years by this time.
During the 1987 tour for his album Bad, he was accompanied the entire time by an Australian boy named Brett Barnes.
