    Lawyer: Ex-Jackson Employees Won't Testify

    The attorney for two former employees of Michael Jackson said Thursday they won't cut a deal with prosecutors if they are indicted.

    An indictment unsealed last week in Jackson's molestation case said the singer and multiple co-conspirators plotted to commit abduction, false imprisonment and extortion. . . .

    [N]ew York attorney Joseph Tacopina said he believes from news reports and conversations with law enforcement officials that his clients, Frank Tyson and Vince Amen, may be among those who will be indicted.

    Tacopina said both were invited to testify before the grand jury that heard evidence against Jackson last month. He declined to have them appear.

    "They didn't do anything wrong," Tacopina said. "I just don't believe this is an open-minded sort of prosecution."
