i would like to ask ever freakin member of that jury how they would feel about their child spending time alone with Michael Jackson.

HERE WE GO :)

I dont say its NORMAL for a 50 year old person to sleep in bed with younger guys. But its not a CRIME nor is AUTOMATICALLY something evil and pervert assumed JUST BY THIS.

Maybe he really just slept in the bed with them (like told in the bashir (sp ?) repot - so godfreakin' WHAT ??? Maybe some people just should keep THEIR (!) perverted fantasies down a bit ?

This our country is so full of people and wrong morale - where nudity and things a bit on the side of the norm ALWAYS create a stir.

I am also coming from a healthy eruropean family and when i tell people HERE about normal things, like eg. how we used to take baths with our parents or w/ my sister etc when we were kids....i am always amazed about the reactions since HERE its obviously un-thinkable that a kid can take a bath with his dad WITHOUT being molested etc. OR i was able to take a bath as a little kid with my sister without having my way with her..etc...

Just as an example.

It is to a CERTAIN extent ODD what he (MJ) does - i agree.....but then its stil a LONG WAY to go from oddity to just plain criminal actions !

If you dont see the line better never be a judge/juror !

The legal system in this country is truly disgusting. Once again, this is proof that the only way you can make it onto a jury in this country is to prove that you're too stupid to tie your shoes by yourself.

Of course, most of us knew that he'd skate. I just didn't think he'd skate on every single flipping charge.


Tell us all how you knew he was guilty.

Because we're all ATOTers, and of course we all know everything. :roll:

Seriously, you guys are fvcking idiots.

<whiny voice>"Oh there's the justice system for you wah wah wah"</whiny voice>

Fvcking right that's the justice system for you. INNOCENT until PROVEN guilty. He was not PROVEN guilty therefore by our justice system he is free. While he may not have actually been innocent, the case did not have enough evidence to prove otherwise.

Now shut the fvck up, all of you.

Yes, you would have made a fine juror.

Here, let me explain something to you. I'll type slowly so hopefully you can understand it. What I'm about to tell you is a simple concept but if you aren't able to grasp it feel free to exit the thread. That goes for the rest of you mental midgets too.

Ok, hear it is so listen up. Ready? None of us were there when these alleged actions happened. Therefore, none of us knows whether or not he's guilty. I've bolded those two sentences because they're important for you to understand. If you need to read them again go ahead. I'll wait. Ok, with me so far?

Ok, moving along. Since nobody know for sure that makes any post about his guilt or innocence an opinion. I'm talking about whether or not he actually did it. Not how he was judged by the courts. Still following? Ok, next point them.

I was not a juror in this trial. Neither were any of the rest of the people in this thread. Therefore, we are all able to make whatever kind of judgements we like.

Personally, I believe Jackson was guilty and am disappointed in the justice system for proving yet again that they are unable to convict a celebrity no matter how damning the evidence is. Since I have no influence on this case I am well within my rights to believe that.

If you believe he's innocent that's fine too. Doesn't matter to me. If you believe he's guilty as hell but is blowing the entire district attorney?s office as well as every juror in addition to cutting a deal with God in exchange for an innocent verdict that's fine as well. You can think whatever the hell your want because in the end it's all just opinions and none of us can prove a damn thing.

Ok, lesson finished. If you weren't able to comprehend this lesson I'm sorry. Just go ahead and run along and let the adults talk. I can't hold your hand forever.
lol, the difference is that the jurors are presented with facts, and are then able to make a more informed decision than we ever could.

If you think he's guilty, you're right.. that is your opinion. If a juror thinks he is not guilty, you're right.. that is their opinion. However, the juror's opinion holds more weight because the juror was more informed on the subject.

We don't know sh!t.

Yes, that was pretty much my whole point...

the whole point is that there PROBABLY were people with an agenda against him.

The same people who run FIRST to lawyers to get advice how to milk him for money - and THEN go to the police (or did they ever go to the police in the first place ?)

The SAME people who claimed their kids have been molested by some security guards at a JC Pennies..and other totally blatant BS which shows the real agenda of those kind of people.

I ADMIT - now *I* am pre-judging, too :) But...

Then they ask the "witnesses" what actually happened and they couldnt even repeat TWICE what the actual accusations were...their whole story and accusations just didnt have ANY grounds and changed, often they couldnt even remember or just contradicted themselves...etc..etc..

And thats also the reason i am not suprised at all he was found innocent because the trial and the MONEY spent on it was a really big farce - this was clear after i semi-followed it for a few days in the news etc.

That is not true. They played a video of the child who testified that was taken during his first interview by police (like 7 years ago) and it was remarkably similar to his story on the stand and very credible from what I've heard from reporters who were in the courtroom and saw the tape. The child acted scared and came across as very believable. Some of his testimony (the smaller details) were a bit inconsistent but not the molestation details.

so the kid's fingerprint on the porn magazines were not real?


no they actually are...but they prove, what ?

The kid touched/held the DVD.

Thats all they prove. Sorry for that. Need more substance than this to make any statement which goes further.

Even that the kid actually LOOKED at the porn is rather a speculation (its likely, tho)...but its not proven by the prints. AND of course NOT that he watched the porn w/ MJ together and everything ELSE implied.

Speculation.

taking baths with parents or relatives is FINE. its perfectly acceptable. but sleeping in a bed with a total stranger just because he is a famoust person is NOT fine.

yes maybe you can make the argument jackson likes to sleep in bed with children without any sexual feelings/actions, but he settled millions of dollars with some kid years ago.. and he STILL sleeps with children? that is just F-ed up

its called connecting the dots..

yes maybe there was no sufficient evidence to convict MJ... but honestly do you actually think he is innocent?

to some up this whole thread:

dan rathers on CBS was taking forever to reach the verdict becuase he was to busy second guessing himself, while idiots and non-idiots alike gessed if he was guilty or not. Meanwhile blake, OJ, and any other minority who had money was watching the trial, truely free men in the US. After the verdict was announced keebler elves and the Wal-Mart family started rioting, but white doves and michael teflon smooth jackson slipped out of the courtroom and calmed everybody down (4 elves are in critical condition). There was a whole bunch of WTFBBQ's held with grilled justice with a side of Black beans and White potatos, and for desert DA needs a new job a la'mode. After everyone finished their meals they all took a roflcopter to MJ's house at never never land where it was bring your own underoo's night and leave with someone elses. People who didnt get invited got pissed becuase they had opinions that really mattered, but the convicted pedophile didnt take them seriously...and before the night/thread ends people will be having sleepover's with teenagers and giving beers to minors.....and in related news Paramount Pictures anounces new movie....Ray 2: Look what you can do with money!


Yup i think i about covered everything...hope i made you laugh

That to me is the most damning evidence of his guilt. He pays millions of dollars to make a case go away yet he doesn't change his behavior. He keeps doing the very act that got him in trouble the first time. That is what a pedophile does. They can't stop. He will molest again and it will be on the jury who acquited him. They let a pedophile off the hook. I am convinced of that. :|

There was a case recently where a guy molested and killed a little girl in Santa Ana, CA (Samantha Runion). The killer was brought to trial a few years prior for molesting a young girl but the jury didn't believe the child and let him off. Well, this time he killed a little girl after molesting her so as not to leave a witness. In fact, the girl he molested in the first trial testified in this trial. Can you imagine what it must have been like for this poor girl to have to get up there on the stand again to testify against this monster who has now killed an innocent child? God, I hope those people who let him off the first time burn in hell. They are directly responsible for the death of that little girl.

MJ will molest again. It's only a matter of time.

i THINK he is odd. Whether he actually molested kids i really dont know.

If i were a big star with ALREADY a big history of those accusations i would NOT go on and molest little guys (even if i wanted) because i would be DUMB to do so. Too much to lose. just doesnt make sense.

But then...i dont know.

you are right. he will do it again. he has a sickness, an obsession, and unless he admits it and gets treated it will rear its' ugly head again, and there will be another victim.

Yup, there it only needs to be plausible that MJ did these things to the kid. They'll milk him dry yet.


Considering that he got off of every single one of the charges, it's unlikely that they'll find him guilty of something in civil court.

Guilt isn't important in civil court. In criminal court you have to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that the person is guilty, in civil court you just have to show that it's plausible that it happened.

No, in civil court you still need to find responsibility, you just don't need the criteria of 'beyond a resonable doubt'.

I am glad i am NOT living in a society where the majority of people thinks like those hater people...then i might also straight move to communist china or similiar countreis and have trials SOLELY based on pre-judgement and HATE and opinions of immature people like stated here in this thread by some people.

You're right. I HATE injustice. I HATE all evil things, I think they should be punished. Don't you? Michael Jackson deserves punishment, because of these activities and others in his past. That's all I'm saying.

Punishment for what? For being weird? There's no crime against that.

As for the molestations in the past... they were BS too. Why would anybody sell out if they truly were molested? For money? Well, as has been proven many times, you can lose a criminal trial and still win a civil. He's been sleeping with children for decades... in the hundreds of cases, only ONE has come forward? If that's true, then he has self-control over his deviant impulse like no other child molester.

I still dont understand why people believe a child is so greatly credible (i know child rape victums, so you dont thing im saying this with know heart. however, i as well have grown up with knowing the difference between a lie and the truth in this matter) granted he is the main focus of the case,but it tell a child he will get a large sum of money for doing some thing they will do it regaurdless. for instance, if i had video camera(proof factor) and i found child and i gave him 5 dollars to hit me the it leg with a spade the child would do so. not to mention the massive lack of physical evidence as well as the incosestenciesin the case and the lack of the prosecution making their witnesses play in the favor of them..
