On March 1, Martin Bashir, who had interviewed Jackson for "Living with Michael Jackson", took to the witness stand while prosecutors showed the documentary to jurors. Bashir refused to answer questions from defense attorneys. In wake of Jackson's death, Martin Bashir told ABC News: "Certainly, when I made the documentary, there was a small part of that which contained a controversy concerning his relationship with other young people. But the truth is that he was never convicted of any crime, I never saw any wrongdoing myself and whilst his lifestyle may have been a bit unorthodox, I don't believe it was criminal".
