| Yes. Crystal Cartier from Denver, Colorado, USA accused Michael
Jackson of stealing her song by the same title, which she had copyrighted
in 1985. However, she was unable to locate an original tape of her song
for the court, and the version she produced did not sound much like
Michael's song.
Michael testified on February 14, 1994, giving convincing details of
his songwriting process and demonstrating his incredible ability to bring
a song to life with just his voice box.
The jury found Michael innocent of Cartiers claims. And, as reported by
BET, Cartier lost and was denied the chance to appeal.
Printed or taped court transcripts may be ordered directly from the
Colorado courts for $12.00. |
