"That pressure was just immense, unbearable... Just being able to wake up and to get up and get dressed for court was a demonstration of this strength and the resilience that he had. Because I saw what they did to him in trial, I saw some of the things that they did to this man... I tell you to be financially set and know that you can't prevent this thing from happening... it definitely took his toll on him, it impacted him tremendously, it was terrible. I tell you it really was... it was absolutely terrible.
The pressure was immense, it was significant. And that's kind of an understatement. It's kind of hard to even imagine the pressure. I saw him break down several times on the way to court and break down several times just when he shouldn't be breaking down, and I mean emotionally with tears and crying and fear... it just took his toll, you could just tell he was a broken man. In spite of his wealth, in spite of his celebrity, he was just a broken man. And he tried not to have those kind of break downs in front of his children..." - Kerry Anderson, (MJ's bodyguard during the trial)
