"I was hired by Michael Jackson and his attorneys to make a video tour of Neverland Ranch to be used at the trial," Nimmer tells our own Victoria Recano. "I did go in Michael's personal bedroom, his bathroom, his changing area, closets area. … Essentially I had unprecedented access to Neverland."
Nimmer worked as a filmmaker for the Jackson defense team during the 2005 child molestation trial, and in the DVD 'Michael Jackson: The Untold Story of Neverland,' the public can now finally view never-before-seen footage shot for the jury's virtual Neverland Tour.
"He seemed frail, but he also seemed very alert and normal, very unassuming," says Nimmer of his observations of Jackson. "Maybe what surprised me most [of Neverland] was it was kind of like a regular-looking Beverly Hills mansion … [with] outlandish antiques. It was wall-to-wall antiques and wall-to-wall mementos that he either had sent to him or gathered. Also books everywhere. He [was] apparently a voracious reader."
The DVD, which can be purchased at Nimmer.net, also includes Michael Jackson's accusers speaking on the record, the sheriff's raid of Neverland and outtakes of Jackson from the Martin Bashir revealing documentary "Living with Michael Jackson," plus extras including Jackson's trial victory party in Las Vegas and footage of Michael's fans mourning his passing.
