Bumped into thisone again, criminally low viewcount. Give it 5 minutes.
This was a part of the special NPR here in LA is doing about the new film "Misery Loves Comedy."
Gavin and his family met several celebrities through a club called The Laugh Factory that had a comedy camp in which celebrities, especially comedians, served as mentors to children in poverty or need. This club was owned by fellow comedian Jamie Masada. Michael Jackson's defense alleged that Janet and Gavin Arvizo had scammed/extorted/made false accusations of several of these celebrities, but as testimony given at trial demonstrated, that is far from the truth.
The prosecution, for its part, argued that the one who was constantly asking celebrities for money was David Arvizo, the children's biological father, and who no longer had a relationship with the family because Janet had divorced him in 2001 and she had obtained custody of minors. At trial, the three Arvizo boys testified that his father was controlling and abusive. The children said they stopped having contact with him after their parents separated, which happened before the boy said Jackson abused him. David no longer had anything to do with the Michael Jackson case.
Mesereau said the following in his opening statements:
>Comedian George Lopez was approached by Gavin and Janet. He was asked for money. He didn't want to give money, and then they accused him of stealing $ 300 from Gavin's wallet.
But the testimonies of the witnesses didn't support what Mesereau said.
1. Neither Janet nor Gavin asked George Lopez for money, he confirmed it himself. George Lopez testified that the only time Janet had asked him for anything was to provide emotional support to Gavin when he became ill (Page 3823).
Q. And what was the nature of that discussion? What is it that he [David] was asking you to do?
A. He was asking me to take care of a fund-raiser for Gavin, which I was more than happy to do. But then it became apparent to me that it wasn't about Gavin anymore. I was about how Gavin was and how he was feeling. I wasn't about money for Gavin. And it seemed to me at that time that David Arvizo was more interested in the money than he was about his son.
Q. All right. Was David working at the time, to your knowledge?
A. To my knowledge, I don't think he was working.
Q. Did he ever express to you any concerns about insurance, medical insurance?
*A. I was always led to believe t

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Me grabbing a soda from my (what I thought was) half full 12pk...
Notices there's only 2;
Me: "Awe man... This is a damn bird box!" Her: "What the hell does that mean?!" Me: (Pulls both cans out & shows them to her) "It's only got Toucans."
I'm not ashamed to admit the look on her face was glorious.
I was just sitting there doing nothing.
So that I could frequently say, "I am going to walk 5 miles now."
