there are lots of other un-convicted child molesters around, one more won't really matter

i thought he would get it on the alcohol charges, even if misdomeaner only, i thought there was plenty of direct evidence about him getting kids drunk

I'm disappointed there's another thread about this useless piece of news.

Could care less for the verdict. But what a friggen waste of tax payers money. Too bad they couldn't force the parents to pay for the whole trial.

I think it was impossible to tell from the evidence. It basically came down to he said she said, and when one of the parties has a bad reputation and history of lying, there is just no way to know.

I think the sad thing is is that the accuser and his mother could be trying to extort money, but at the same time Jackson could have molested the kid too.

A likely scenario could have been that this woman put her son in this situation in the hopes michael would molest him and then she could get money out of him. Unfortunately for her and the kid, the jury saw them as more evil than Jackson.

Neutral; while he is indeed a pedophile and should have been found guilty, the mother of the kid in question knowingly pimped out her kid to him in an attempt at a fast buck and also should be found guilty.

Wasting tax dollars is the #1 function of the CA state government, well any government really, but CA's is far above the rest of the world in it's efficiency and speed at wasting tax dollars and then simply raising taxes to get more to waste so the MJ trial is just another blip on the balance sheet.

I'm relieved. If the case wasn't pure bs, he would have been found guilty of atleast one count, muchless a lesser charge from a count.

I'm relieved for the kids sake, because its good to know he wasn't molested. I think he's going to have plenty of psycological problems from being around his mother tho.

Yeah, this case will have more of an effect on him this MJ touching his willy (if he ever did).
