Jackson vows to fight opportunists

Michael Jackson's lawyer has said that the singer will fight back ferociously against money-grubbers and opportunists.

Mark Geragos, who is representing Jackson on a charge of child molestation, said that the star would no longer allow himself to be 'abused' by opportunists trying to use him as a 'lottery ticket'.

At a press conference in Los Angeles, Geragos said that Jackon would unleash a legal torrent against anyone trying to besmirch his reputation or invade his privacy.

The warning came after the private jet company that took Jackson from Las Vegas to Santa Barbara, prior to his arrest, allegedly tried to sell to the media two videotapes of Jackson and his lawyer discussing the case on board the plane.
