	Artsandentartainment: The Dimond in Court TV's crown
		Reporter Diane Dimond has put her network out front in coverage of the Michael Jackson case, sure to be one of the biggest legal stories of 2004.
		Dimond's work has put the network out front on what is certain to be one of the biggest legal stories of this year.

	A Dogged TV Reporter Defends Herself in the Jackson Case - New York Times
		Dimond "definitely engendered a great deal of anger from the public that attended that case and from other reporters," said Laurie L. Levenson, a professor at Loyola Law School in Los Angeles, who has often appeared on CNN as a Jackson trial analyst.
		Dimond said, she was stalked by an undercover private investigator and subjected to verbal abuse from a handful of rabid Jackson fans.
		Dimond bristled at the notion that she is obsessed with the self-proclaimed King of Pop.

	Court TV coup: Dimond lands another scoop
		Dimond, a freelance anchor with Court TV, was at the Neverland ranch Tuesday morning with the cable network's cameras trained on the cavalcade of police cars raiding Jackson's property hours before any 24-hour news network got there -- thanks to highly placed sources that tipped her to the pending search weeks beforehand.
		Dimond flew from New York to Santa Barbara on Tuesday, arriving at 2 a.m., enough time to get three hours of sleep and have one of her two camera crews stationed at Neverland when the police arrived at 6 a.m.
		Dimond's involvement in the Pellicano wiretapping case has put her in the uncomfortable position of being both a subject and a reporter on a continuing investigation.

	The Michael Jackson Case
		Dimond, like her good buddy Tom Sneddon has often decried any assertion that she has a vendetta against Jackson or that she is obsessed with the child molestation allegations.
		Dimond was also one of the first to report the erroneous story that the prosecution had seized love letters allegedly written by Jackson to the latest accuser.
		Dimond drowns in a Jeffersonian-like cognitive dissonance that blinds her to her own queasy obsession with a figure she claims she is not obsessed with.

		Dimond’s work has put the network out front on what is certain to be one of the biggest legal stories of 2004 -- no small matter when you’re a news network devoted to crime and punishment.
		Dimond said she had heard from friends that Oxman spread rumors that she had an affair with Santa Barbara District Attorney Michael Sneddon -- among the most vicious insults to a reporter.
		Dimond said it’s possible the boy’s mother, who has filed no civil suit seeking damages, is just waiting for the moment when she can profit the most.

	'Be Careful Who You Love: Inside the Michael Jackson Case' by Diane Dimond (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-08)
		Now Dimond serves up her version, a gripping page-turner that dissects the multiple allegations of child sex-abuse leveled at Jackson, who, since the first case in 1993, has gone from superstar to falling star.
		Dimond, who credits herself with breaking the first story in 1993 while working for the syndicated TV program "Hard Copy," takes readers on the scene and behind the scenes from that case through Jackson's second abuse scandal, a trial that ended in his acquittal in June.
		Dimond never says whether she believes Jackson is guilty of molesting his accusers or if she thinks he's a pedophile.

		DIMOND: But, you know what the complaint was, that they would tell you what things were happening in the investigation, and then you would come on television and sort of spill the beans.
		DIMOND: And then, in the final analysis, there they were arguing, "Well, don`t put him to death, because really he`ll get a worse punishment if you make him live the rest of his life in prison," because inmates don`t like child molester and killers.
		DIMOND: Joseph Smith pretty impassive as the jury, just moments ago, recommended the death penalty for Joseph Smith in the kidnap and sexual assault and murder of little Carlie Brucia, just 11 years old when she disappeared walking home from a sleepover on Super Bowl Sunday, 2004.

		Dimond does a good job of setting out an objective account of the investigation leading to the child abuse allegations and 2005 trial, beginning her story in 1993.
		Diane Dimond is really on the money with her new book, "Be Careful Who You Love: Inside The Michael Jackson Case." I have read many books about Michael Jackson and this one of the best, if not the very best book.
		For example, Diane Dimond was the FIRST journalist to report on the 1993 allegations (is that why Jackson fans hate her so much?), but she did not report the story until after she reviewed documents from her source that had inside information.

	tabloid baby: Exclusive! Dimond comes clean on Jacko past!
		Perhaps sensing a James Frey-like scandal brewing, Diane Dimond, author of a recent book on Michael Jackson’s travails, is coming clean on the history of her involvement in the Jackson case.
		Dimond became embroiled in the Jackson case in 1993, after Jackson sued her and Hard Copy over a story the show purchased and she’d fronted.
		The scoop and a shared Jackson enmity with the prosecutor led to Dimond’s binge as an openly-biased, prosecutorial reporter in the Jackson molestation case, a gambit that clearly staked her professional future on Jacko’s conviction—and ultimately led to her downfall when the star was acquitted.

	New York Daily News - Home - Lloyd Grove's Lowdown: Dimond's not forever at Court TV
		But for Dimond - the acquitted pop star's lightning-rod nemesis, who just got the bad news that Court TV won't be renewing her contract - it's a chance for "a little paid vacation," she told me yesterday.
		Dimond added that her book about the singer's saga, "Be Careful Who You Love," is coming out in November.
		The hard-charging Dimond - who's been at the network since 2001 and admitted that she might have liked to re-up - preempted Court TV's official spin by confiding on Sunday to her Yahoo.com fan club that "my contract with Court TV is/was coming to an end in December and they decided to end it early.

		Diane Dimond: My investigation revealed that Juror #5, an elderly woman named Elanor Cook visited with a key prosecution witness DURING THE TRIAL and professed her opinion that Jackson was guilty and that she would never vote to acquit him.
		Diane Dimond: I don't think Debbie was a definitive witness in the case, although she sure didn't say what the prosecution thought she would say once she took the stand.
		Diane Dimond: The Jackson family continues to put forth the image that they are all one big happy unit but I don't beleive they are - most have significant money problems that Michael used to take care of but can do no longer.

		Here to talk about the press, public figures and propriety are Diane Dimond, a reporter for the TV show Hard Copy, attorney Greta Van Susteren, Flo Anthony of The New York Post, and Leslie Bennetts of Vanity Fair.
		DIANE DIMOND, 'Hard Copy': Well, I think everybody these days is critically interested in child abuse, I think it's being talked about a lot, more now than it certainly was 15 or 20 years ago when I was growing up.
		DIMOND: Well, I'll tell you, Mary, I was in a unique situation because Hard Copy is the only- I think I'm the only reporter, I think I can safely say that, to have seen the official documents, the official allegations against Michael Jackson.

	Jackson Fans Slam Today Show, Boycott Sponsors
		Dimond's "Hard Copy" tabloid reporting from 10 years ago from her current role as a Court TV news anchor and "Today" analyst.
		Dimond, who spent several years with the now defunct tabloid television show "Hard Copy", is the anchor of various Court TV programs including "Hollywood At Large." She is perhaps most famous for being credited with breaking the Michael Jackson child abuse story of 10 years ago while employed as an anchor at Hard Copy.
		"Dimond's reporting has a lot less to do with her journalistic skills and more to do with her highly publicized connection with the D.A." Sweet was perhaps referring to recent reports that questioned the extent of the relationship between Dimond and Santa Barbara District Attorney Thomas Sneddon.

	How to spell Dimond - Michael Jackson Discussion
		Dimond requested resources from Court TV to pursue the story without revealing what the story was about.
		The complaint alleges Dimond was a guest Jan. 9 on KABC´s Minyard and Barkley show, where she said on air there was a renewed "red hot" police probe into new allegations of child molestation against Jackson.
		In 1998 Dimond´s "most reliable source" was found by Superior Court Judge Reginald Dunn to have reported a story that was false and that Gutierrez knew it was false when he told it to "Hard Copy." Dimond later repeated those comments on Los Angeles TV station KABC-AM.
