Business Wire, June 17, 2005

LOS ANGELES -- Media celebrity attorney Debra Opri, who stood firm on her predictions in the Michael Jackson trial, was the only TV news legal analyst to accurately predict the "King of Pop" would be vindicated on ALL counts against him.

Opri told prime-time CNN Headline News show host Nancy Grace, "This is the bitter pill you're going to have to swallow Nancy. This is the reality, not the reality you have created for the last year. Michael Jackson is not guilty. Let him live his life in peace and stop trying to retry the case."

Celebrity attorney Debra Opri was the eyes and ears at the trial for Michael's parents Joseph and Katherine Jackson. She attended the trial to keep them abreast of the court proceedings and to explain any legalese during the year-long trial. Her first-hand knowledge of the tight-knit Jackson family allowed her to ascertain that these are good people, with good morals.

As a child protection advocate, Debra Opri fought to protect children when she took on the nation's largest foster care agency in Los Angeles. While she projects a tough exterior in the face of criticism for her association with the trial and the charges against Michael Jackson, Opri has fought to protect children and will continue in her efforts to protect children from abuse and neglect.

"While Michael may be eccentric, the evidence did not support a guilty verdict or that he ever harmed a child. There is, however, overwhelming evidence that Michael has helped thousands of children around the world! Try to find that story on the networks," says Opri.
