It alleges Sneddon has a ven detta against Jackson dating to a 1993 molestation investigation that did not result in charges being filed. "Mr. Sneddon did not hide his anger that he was not able to charge Mr. Jackson,” the motion said. "This failure fueled Mr. Sneddon's zeal ousness in this matter.” Jackson’s lawyers also allege Sneddon displayed his bias at No vember 2(X)3 news conference an nouncing that an arrest warrant had been issued for Jackson. Sneddon w elcom ed reporters with a joke and he "bantered with reporters and drew chuckles as he poked fun at Mr. Jackson and his music. He sm iled and sm irked throughout the conference," the motion said. 9 III hnJTWITTHnmT^n loans • fax service • 2-day tax refunds • electronic tax filing free money orders open mon-thur. 9am-7om fri, 9am-8pRi sal, 9am-7pm sun, ioam-4pm with "Little Shop of Horrors” in London and Los Angeles. Leslie says he approaches it like an actor, not a voice over, and ac tually practices with the actors onstage at rehearsals. "You have to make the audience believe that what is onstage is ac tually coming from the stage and not me in a sound booth offstage. I do everything the puppet does, twirling around and doing things in the booth, so I’m a sight for the crew and stage hands," Leslie says. He adds, "I'm actually an actor, not ju st someone standing in a booth and doing a voice over. It takes on a lot of hue when you are an actor besides being a singer.” “Little Shop o f Horrors” runs Tuesdays through Fridays at 7:30 p.m..
