Jackson case verdict in 30 mins!!!

[moosmom]

Of course by the looks of his "fans" today at the courthouse, he's still loved & IDOLIZED by many! Ugh . . . makes me wanna gag!

Oh Christa, you crack me up!! Of course I also share your "reflex" (GAG reflex that is!!).

It's been decided and it's time to move on. I only hope that MJ will be watched VERY closely when he is around young boys. He may have been a tough nut to crack, but he's still a nutjob nonetheless!!!

One more thing...I know if it were me on trial and I was innocent of the charges, I'd want to get up on the stand and tell MY side of the story.

Hmmmmm...makes ya wonder, doesn't it??

[RICHARD]

I got my pipe out and am ready to "smoke this" with anyone that wants to...


Not commenting of the guilt or innocence of either party.....just on the outcome of the trials....


Scotty Peterson is found guilty on circumstance----

MJ gets off and there is some pretty damning evidence and witnesses...


What's up with that????

[dukedogsmom]

Money and fame.

Did you see him when he walked into the courthouse? He looked like he was on death's doorstep! I really think that he was expecting a guilty verdict! Seemed that way . . . they definitely didn't look confident going in today!

Ah well . . .

Don't think you're "hijack" is going to work on this one . . .

Now, back to MJ . . . I'm not surprised at all that he was found not guilty . . . another freak released into society. I just hope that these stupid parents take notice and maybe stop with the sleep overs. Of course by the looks of his "fans" today at the courthouse, he's still loved & IDOLIZED by many! Ugh . . . makes me wanna gag!

(sigh)...

I guess people aren't ready to accept the truth... which is even worse.

Right back to MJ. Whatever.

Hey, I didn't mean to cut you down . . . If you want to *seriously* talk about the "oil crisis" maybe you should start a new thread.

[finn's mom]

I've never thought he was a molester, I've just always thought he was different. Eccentric. Whatever you want to call it. But, again, just like with all of those other trials (OJ, Scott petersen, etc), I don't watch/listen/read to or about them. There's no way for me to know the truth, and, it would just be more drama for me to worry about it. My gut feeling is that he didn't molest any kids, but, I'm not judging him either way, because I don't know. I love his music, that's all I can say for sure.

[lisalee]

Glad he was found not guilty. I never believed this child or his family, they didn't sound credible at all to me. I hope Michael can get on with his life now.

Good idea. I'll start one asap. But for now I'm going to bed.

It's a crying shame that the wack jacko circus is deemed most newsworthy. I can understand to a certain extent the coverage in the states, but downunder my brother-in-law was going to go on morning TV, to tell people about a couple who are about to be deported, and are forced to leave their kids behind. They are being deported because our right wing government has deemed that they are in no danger from the Chinese government for being pro-democracy leaders in Hong Kong. Instead of us examining the humanitarian issues, and the concentration camps that the Australian Government keeps people in, we where bored stupid by the MJ circus for nearly two hours.
I'm with ILoveReptiles with this in that the tabloid press have way too much coverage on issues that on the whole could be covered a lot better and concisely than repeating two hours of drivel. Everything could have been reported within a half-hour, and the media could have got on to other important issues.

Is he guilty? A court has deemed him not to be so.

I'm sorry to have to admit this - but MY first sentiment when I saw todays newspaper with the words "ACQITTAL!!!" all over the front page (yes, a danish newspaper!) - was one of joy! I felt like jumping and dancing and I felt quite ridiculously happy!!! Like:

Congratulations, Michael! Good for you!!!

In defence of myself I must say that

1) I have been a fan of MJ for years. I love his music and I have had some really great times with it, and

2) Anyone who has been subjected to the horrendous american media idea to make a public spectable of court room proceedings almost deserve to be acquitted in order to give the poor victim some sort of satisfaction

Putting people out for a public spectacle on TV is not only cruel and heartless (as if their predicament wasn't already great enough!) - it is downright medieval. We should all be more civilized than that!

I never believed that he would be - what's it called? - sentenced? And why? Simply because the story of his life is the very epitome of the "American Dream". Shutting MJ down would be like throwing mud into the very heart of every american.

Anyway, thats just what I think. Other than that I am with Logan and Scooby 4. I believe that MJ has suffered some psycological damage in is childhood, and I think he should get psycological help.

And last: I do NOT agree to administering alcohol to minors, nor do I agree to any kind of sexual abuse, whether it be to minors or grown ups.

Love,
Sus and Bella

Could be that the jurors in celebrity cases have *stars in their eyes* Richard. All I do know is that I am glad it is over. *sigh*

PS: I believe that the boy's mother aided in his acquittal much like Mark Fuhrman did for OJ.

Yes well if you had been put through all the stress he has the last 14 weeks, I dare say one would look like on Death's Door, after all he is only human , regardless of what people may think of him.

I honestly cannot see how his wealth and fame could get him a Not Guilty verdict, unless he had a way of paying the jurors, and that would not have happened, I saw and heard the Jury speak, they are your average person on the street, a real mixture of age groups, etc, and they said they it was an easy decision, that in itself tells me the evidence was rubbish, and the woman was anything but credible, the fact MJ did not take the stand was a very good move on his lawyers part IMO, does not mean he was guilty just because he did not do so.

None of us were there in the court or heard the evidence, we have only know what the media tells us, and we all know how that can get mis-construed.

I think MJ has been to hell and back and I for one believe his innocence, I hope to he can now get on with his life, and I hope he has the sense NOT to put himself in these vunerable situations ever again, if not then he is really stupid and just asking for a repeat of all of this.

I think this horrible experience will indeed take a toll on him, one that may affect him forever, and I have empathy for him in that respect, imagine if you were innocent and had to go through all of this, yes I suppose some will say its his own fault because of his lifestyle and I would agree with that somewhat, but still it would indeed be an awful time for anyone in this position, famous or not., probably more so if you are famous.

Yes Trev we got heaps of coverage here too, a little suprising, but then as they said MJ is more popular internationally than in the US it would seem.

I agree. I stated earlier that I don't watch any of that stuff. Literally, if I turn the tv on, and, that's what I see, I change the channel. If it's on every channel, the tv gets turned off. I knew what he was charged with, and, I knew what my initial feelings were. The media is just crap a lot of the time. But, ya know, it's what the majority seems to want to watch. Sad.

[Corinna]

I have only one question for you all . Why is he only seen with young boy children if he is so for "the children" where are the girls? The only girls he has areound are his bIo girls . Please explain this to me if hes so great for kids!
