Arm-chair juries:

Guilty or innocent?

If a neighbour of yours was a 46 year old single male, put a carousel in his backyard, invited the local neighbourhood boys over to play, then invited them to sleep in his bed, shower with him, offer them wine etc, would he get the same treatment as Jackson? I doubt it. Think of him in those terms and you get a clearer picture, don't you think? Celebrity doesn't excuse inappropriate behaviour. There is too much evidence against him to wipe the slate clean with a not guilty verdict.

And what of those fans outside the courthouse, surely they can't believe he is totally innocent? Someof them look sadder than him. If his career is in the doldrums then surely this will finish him once and for all.

Guilty as sin, but he'll be found Not Guilty. As a rule, male celebrities don't go to jail in this country.

Or any celebrities, male or female.

Martha Stewart and Patricia Hearst might disagree with you.

couldnt have said it better.

although i think he is guilty, he is a bit crazy. ive heard good arguments that he missed out on his childhood so he's trying to recapture it by doing all this stuff for the kids. i doubt its 100% true, but if said in the right way, it could be a good argument.

Of course he's guitly, but then the kid might just want money. Does it matter? I didn't have a childhood either, but does that give me the excuse to molest children? No.

"but does that give me the excuse to molest children? No"

i meant, they argued that he never molested the children, that he just invited the kids over to play or whatever, not molest. but the number of accusations are ridiculous, theres not way he cant be guilty.


anyone watching those reenactments on e?

I'm glad the case is almost over. I'm sick of hearing about it. The country seems overly fascinated with these kinds of stories lately, or maybe it's just the media, who knows.

He may very well be guilty, I don't know, but I have to wonder what the hell is wrong with the type of parent who would drop their kid off at a mansion with a celebrity not exactly known for his sanity.

There's never going to be a way to get all the criminals off the street anyway. People need to pay more attention to their kids and what they're doing. I would say that there also needs to be more study into understanding the minds of abusers and counseling them, but I doubt that will happen. There needs to be criminals in order for judges, cops, etc to have jobs.

It's like Stem Cell research. If it worked, tons of drug companies would be obsolete because people would be cured.

Anyway, I'll take off my paranoia cap now...

And now he has brought in some kind of machine to help him with his circulation? Is this some sort of publicity stunt to win sympathy or what? If he is trying to gain the sympathy of the jurors isn't he wasting his time, aren't they cut off from television and radio during deliberation?

[DAME]

All I know is that if he is found guilty then the parents of the kids should also have charges brought against them.

Michael Jackson is going to come out with Thriller 2 and its going to be such a hit, everyone will forget everything.

Like the song says:

CHICAGO:

Give 'em the old double whammy
Daze and dizzy 'em
Back since the days of old Methuselah
Everyone loves the big bambooz-a-ler

Give 'em the old three ring circus
Stun and stagger 'em
When you're in trouble, GO INTO YOUR DANCE (moon-walk)

Though you are stiffer than a girder
They'll let you get away with "MOLESTATION"
Razzle dazzle 'em
And "YOU WONT GO TO JAIL"

Even if he does bounce back (should he be found not guilty) with album who'd buy it? All his stuff is sounds so 1980's, and I mean the last album.
