MJ found not guilty

Indeed. When Leno testified, he showed footage of himself going through the metal detectors and in to the courtroom. A deputy opened and held the door for him as he walked through. Then, without a camera cut, the next guy through was on crutches and the deputy just stood there allowing the man on crutches to struggle with the door. Leno said, "And that right there is why there will never be a celebrity convicted in California."
 
I'm not saying he's innocent or guilty but you can't take witnesses such as the mother and the brother and get a conviction. This wasn't about money per say but more about credibility.
 
Although that nutbag Wacko-Jacko is doing the moonwalk in delight throughout the halls of his freak show Neverland Ranch, you have to come to a guilty verdict based on the evidence in the case.



Do I "think" he's a pedophile? Yes. But, did the evidence in this case PROVE beyond a reasonable doubt that he was guilty on all the counts? No.



Just because he looks like a freak, acts like a freak and MAY actually abused boys (based on our personal opinions given our skeptical nature), does not equal a guilty verdict. If that were the case, then we should lock up all sorts of people we think are looney tunes.



The family had zero credibility. They (the boy and his mother) were ripped to shreds on the the stand. They had a history of scams to rip off companies (JC Penny) by suing them and settling out of court. You basically had a boy saying he was molested and the Jackson camp saying he didn't do it. That's what it boiled down to and the boy and his mother's testimony was filled with more holes than swiss cheese. It was riddled with inconsistancies.



Jacson dodged a major bullet. Hopefully now no more kids will be "sharing his bed." Parents should have their heads examined if they let there kid go there.



I agree with all of you as an arm chair spectator that he's nut job, but holding the power of conviction and imprisonment, you have to have serious proof beyond a doubt that he molested that child. It wasn't there (unfortunately).



He'll get it handed to him in a civil suit.



Very lucky he was. Very lucky.
 
Good job Seth until you got to the part about the civil suit. Pretty slim chance that a jury will award the family any money based on the evidence and the same witnesses once again.
 
Spilchy, I agree with what you said. But, enough witnesses saw him giving alcohol to kids, including a stewardess on a plane. On those counts, he should have been found guilty. When Robert Blake, was found Not Guilty, I knew what the verdict would be with MJ. No celebrities will be convicted in LaLa Land.
 
Blake's case was another one where the prosecution used EVERY character witness that they could come up with to say that Blake tried to higher them to take her out and they were either a drug addict or just crazy. When the witnesses are dirty like that your chances of conviction pretty much go out the window. It's plain to see that Blake is guilty as sin. With Mike, we see him as weird cause he shares his bed with kids and does some things the WE wouldn't do but that really only makes him different from us (the majority). Have you ever spent the night with a woman in your bed and not touched her? The same could apply in Mike's case.



I say again, you just can't get a conviction when you have the main witnesses that are dirty as sin and the supporting witnesses all have some kind of beef (fired, sued and lost, fraud etc.).
 
Does he touch kids? yep

Did he touch that little money-grubbing piece of.... no



The way I see it, if Jackson's celebrity status worked one way or another, it worked against him. He's a creep, and everyone but the pro-jacko protesters know it.
 
*I* wouldn't let my kid sleep at your house either(don't take that wrong). The reality with this case is that there isn't a credible witness (let alone two) that saw anything.
 
But, being normal and not being a pedophile, I wouldn't invite your kid to my house. MJ was found to be Not Guilty by 12 people. It does not mean that he didnt do it. Do you really think a 40 yr. old man who invites little boys to get in bed with him, is not a pedophile?
 
Regardless of the verdict, I'd never let my kids near Michael Jackson. Whatever happened to that cute kid in the Jackson 5?
 
I'm with you Scott but that's not the point of the verdict or any reason to think that the justice system "doesn't work." I don't know how well you followed the trial at all or how many conversations you've had with MJ but the evidence that I have heard about and the witnesses that the prosecution called don't point to a guy that has done anything to anybody's kid. Some think he's weird and some think that he's mental but that doesn't make him a pedophile. He's a "man" that has had no childhood(guess that does make him mental) that seems to be trying to relive it through underprivileged kids. I have seen and heard no proof that there is anything otherwise. This IS America where you ARE innocent until PROVEN to be guilty.



One thing I do see from this thread is that it's not a good thing to be on trial when people have in their minds that you're guilty no matter what.
 
Is Jako a sick waco? YES! But what about parents who let their kids stay overnight at a mans house! They should be charged. You must be soo careful who you let around your kids without your supervision. I have a very small list of who I will let watch my kids when I am not around. I would have loved to take my kids to Neverland, but we would be going home that evening.
