Mark Geragos has re-entered the spotlight this week, publicly dismissing new sexual abuse allegations against the estate of Michael Jackson as an “unlawful” and “desperate money grab.” Simultaneously, the high-profile attorney is navigating a federal investigation involving the death of Matthew Perry while making appearances to analyze the Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni legal dispute.
On The Megyn Kelly Show, Megyn Kelly framed his involvement as a return to his roots, noting that Mark Geragos was the "perfect person" to address these claims given his history defending the pop star during his 2003 indictment. Kelly added with a laugh that the high-stakes case must have been taxing, telling him, "You did not have the most compliant client in the world."
Beyond the Michael Jackson litigation, the show is highlighting the new partnership between Mark Geragos and former prosecutor Matt Murphy. Kelly touted their new legal podcast, noting that the duo has "gone round and round with each other in the well of the courtroom and out of it, and now they bring that expertise to all of you."
While Mark Geragos continues to maintain a firm defensive posture regarding his former client, the podcast discourse remains fixated on the credibility of past witnesses. Kelly has leaned into the complexities of these testimonies, recently pointing out that even witnesses who offered damaging claims against Michael Jackson often faced their own credibility hurdles, such as prior accusations of theft. Expect the intensity of these legal breakdowns to sharpen as the Matthew Perry case moves toward its next phase.
