If they COULDNT prove any counts....then they COULDNT.

You haters reasoning why "he is guilty anyway" does not make any sense...because of "he looks like a freak"...or "the jury is full of tards"..

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.

Most juries are going to want a silly little thing called "proof" :roll:

Congrats ! 🙂 You just prove me right.

You would be the ideal candidate for a dictatorship..

As for my case..i prefer justice and trials based on PROOF (or not respective)...and NOT convictions based on pre-judgement and "hearsay" statements.
You dont have ANY base to stand on with your statement "he deserves"...because there were several trials which yielded NOTHING.

Our society works THAT WAY that, if there's reason to believe someone commited a crime its on the SYSTEM to bring up the PROOF and, if necessary, bring someone to justive/jail.

If they cant find the proof .well then THERE IS NOTHING you can base your stament on "he deserves" because ..well there IS NO PROOF 🙂

Its like....would you want to go out and check all AToters PCs for p0rn and/or check out all AToters who EVER watched/owned p0rn and then make some WEIRD accusations about molestations and perversion..and whatsoever....maybe find one or more pictures with a rape or similiar somewhere....and THEN build accusations based on this pseudo-proof because someone with such a pic on his PC MUST necessarely be a pervert and bad child molester/rapeist ?

DESPITES what millions of dollars spent on specialists, law enforcement etc. come up with after investigation - NOTHING <-- that is 🙂

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.

I think you need a little more proof than just that. I can show how it's "plausible" that you smacked me in my face, but proving that it actually happened is something else entirely. In this country you don't punish people because they "could have" done something, you punish them because you've proven that they DID do something.

Criminal court of "proof beyond a reasonable doubt." Civil courts have a MUCH lower level of proof that is needed, so showing something is plausible might get accepted in a civil matter.

Good. He's quirky, but he's not guilty. Poor guy, his life is over and he's in debt for more than he'll ever repay 🙁
Hardly. The public has a very short and selective memory. If he can get it together, put out a quality disc, cut a rockin' special effects video, the man is back on top of pop.

I ACCEPT!! Under the authority of flexy I am hereby declared dictator of ATOT. All you haters can fvck off. I'm right and you know it. The debate it over. 😉
 
I honestly don't know if he's guilty or not and anyone who is not MJ or one of his aleged victims will probably never know for sure.

Anyway, the jury clearly made the right choice. There was plenty reasonable doubt and a serious lack of real evidence. He was aquitted as he should have been.

Better the occasional guilty person get through than scores innocent get condemed.

I'm a bit surprised at the outcome, but glad that some people are still able to tell the difference between proof and hearsay, between evidence and opinion. I'm also glad that innocent untill proven guilty is not a totaly lost prinicpal, yet.
 
Anyone else here a member of the Michael Jackson fan club and get an email invitation to his Victory Slumber party? Free Jesus juice! Wait, at bottom of letter says males, 15 years and younger...
