Tom Sneddon Dead -- Michael Jackson Prosecutor Dies at 73
11/2/2014 7:02 AM PST BY TMZ STAFF<br /><br /><br /><br />Tom Sneddon -- the prosecutor who tried twice to nail Michael Jackson on child molestation charges -- has died.<br /><br />Sneddon -- who served as D.A. of Santa Barbara County for more than a quarter century -- famously lost the case against Jackson in 2005, in which Jackson was accused of plying his alleged victim with wine, sexually assaulting him at Neverland and holding his family hostage.<br /><br />But Sneddon went after Jackson more than a decade before, trying to prosecute the singer for allegedly molesting a boy at Neverland. Jackson made the boy's civil case go away at a cost of $20 million and the boy and his family refused to cooperate with Sneddon, so the case went away.<br /><br />Sneddon, who had 9 kids, fiercely believed Jackson was a child molester. For Jackson's part, in one of his tracks you hear him say, "Tom Sneddon is a cold man."<br /><br />He died of cancer.<br /><br /><br /><br />http://www.tmz.com/2014/11/02/michael-jackson-prosecutor-tom-sneddon-dead-dies/
