admitted beating the mother and children. That has no relevance to Jackson’s
guilt or innocence, but it may not sit well with jurors. As USC law professor Jean
Rosenbluth puts it, “This is not the wholesome all-American family.”
But even if the defense can dehumanize Jackson’s accusers, its bigger

dollars it takes to sustain it all. The actual evidence could make these questions of
class a moot point, but don’t bet on it.
