Brando junior may be witness in Jacko case

Miko Brando, son of Marlon Brando and a former Jackson security guard, is named in the child abuse case over a $20,000 cash withdrawal; Jackson's people deny wrongdoing.

The ongoing Jacko child abuse case took an interesting turn at the end of last week when it turned out the prosecution have named the son of Marlon Brando in their case against the singer. It turns of Miko Brando was a security guard for Jackson and he once withdrew $20,000 from one of Jacko's accounts. The prosecution claim that money was withdrawn as part of a plan to abduct, falsely imprison and extort one of the witnesses in the child abuse case. The allegations were made during a prelim hearing in California last week. Brando is not accused of being party to the alleged conspiracy, but he could be called as a witness if the extortion allegations are pursued once Jacko's court case properly kicks off in the New Year.

Needless to say, Jacko's people refute the allegations and say that it was not unusual for Jackson to ask a member of his staff to pick up that some of money from one of his bank accounts. A spokesman said: "There is nothing unusual with someone like Michael Jackson, with such a large operation like Neverland, to have $20,000 in cash delivered to them for the purpose of running their daily affairs".
