The only way MJ's wealth came into it, was the fact he could afford good investigators, and lawyer's, if the same case had been by a public defender it is a possibility the outcome could have been different, other than that he was not given any special treatment that I can see.
If MJ makes some serious lifestyle changes, then that is a positive thing that has come out of all of this, I don't see he should have to have supervised visits only by children, as he has not been convicted of child molestation, that would be highly unfair to him.
I cannot come out and say MJ is innocent, maybe he is guilty of something, but what I am not sure of,maybe he is just a confused man who lives in a fantasy world, after all he thinks he is Peter Pan doesn't he?
I just feel some sadness at it all, that MJ has turned out to be thought of as some kinda freak, and that maybe his only crime is that he cared and loved too much, and made himself vunerable, it is a thought that crosses my mind from time to time.
MJ's music played a significant part in my teen life, I have many a record or LP as they were called in my day,they have seen better days, but got lots of use at many parties I attended, Bad and thriller being two of my favourite, but I never became a real fan, so I don't believe my opinions on the matter have been influenced because I once enjoyed his music, and still do .:)
