Good ol' Jacko got off.

It's not like they could find a 'jury of his peers' though is it? *grin*

Having said that, if they jury found him innocent on all 10 counts, then that does indicate that his defense team did a better job than the prosecutors. That's all it REALLY shows.

But hey, I don't know the bloke, so I'm not about to cast stones of judgement on whether he IS guilty or not. But like someone else said, I wouldn't be having my (nonexistant) kids stay over at his place. Me, on the other hand, did you see that ferris wheel? And apparently there are bumper cars!?!? Come on...lemme have a go...

I'm of the opinion that the fact that you don't know him means that you can cast judgement on him.
The Michael Jackson (and any celebrity for that matter) we see is only a figment of the (collective) imaginations, agendas, reportings of reporters, lawyers, publicists, critics etc.

They only become real when you meet them.

...And Justice For All

by Metallica

Halls of Justice Painted Green
Money Talking
Power Wolves Beset Your Door
Hear Them Stalking
Soon You'll Please Their Appetite
They Devour
Hammer of Justice Crushes You
Overpower

The Ultimate in Vanity
Exploiting Their Supremacy
I Can't Believe the Things You Say
I Can't Believe
I Can't Believe the Price You Pay
Nothing Can Save You

Justice Is Lost
Justice Is Raped
Justice Is Gone
Pulling Your Strings
Justice Is Done
Seeking No Truth
Winning Is All
Find it So Grim
So True
So Real

no wonder he has had money issues... must be getting exspensive to buy off all those people!

**gav** · 14th June 2005, 22:43

Oh well, at least OJ will have a golfing buddy now........

**Indiana_Jones** · 14th June 2005, 22:51

Well I'm not surprised he got off, it's just one person's word against another, could go one way or the other.

But I love michael's lines

"But when you say bed, you think of something sexual, but it's not. We have cookies and it's quite charming..." AHAHAHAHA ahh..

Gotta agree with Paul in NZ and Biff on this one. Anyone who reckons M.J. is guilty with no proof has an attitude problem. I work in a Psychiatric Unit and reckon M.J. ain't far from it. But to make a blanket statement that he is guilty, that just sucks. Althoough he is that bizzare, I can understand people wondering it...

[crap, thought I hit edit, not quote]

**Waylander** · 14th June 2005, 23:56

Personally I don't care if he did it or not but to all you who say "if he did lets find out the resons behind it" would you be saying the same thing if he screwedup your ride? Hell no. Doesn'tmatter what drove someone to do shit it only matters if they did it or not. If they did, punish them according to the crime. If not then let them go. That is the real reason for the justice systems in the states being the shit can that they are. Everyone is too concerned about the accused to worry about the victom.

Does anyone find it at all strange that MJ was arrested (with plenty of media coverage) and put in handcuffs (WTF!) On the exact same day that our old mate George Dubbleya admitted to there being no weapons of mass detruction (becoming a really annoying cliche) in Iraq.
Strange eh!

**spudchucka** · 15th June 2005, 06:58

I think this came down to the credibility of the accuser and in particular his mother.

**Lou Girardin** · 15th June 2005, 08:29

Some jury members just didn't like the mother, so found Michael not guilty. Like voting, there may come a time when a minimum IQ will be required for jury members.
Wacko is now equating his aquittal with the freeing of Mandela and the fall of the Berlin wall.
The danger for all his little friends now, is that he'll believe he's untouchable by the law.
And, isn't it strange that his "love" for kids only extends to having boys in his room for sleep-overs.

I was working on the theory that MJ was a kiddy fiddler, fuck he's a freak.
