He is guilty no doubt about it.

No matter what the Jury says he is guilty just like OJ was.

Im so fucking tired of people judging him because of his past and the fact that he coloured his skin.

I know Jackson is not one of the smartest. I know he is a bit paranoid and has a weird realationship to children. But the fact is still that he has helped a lot of troubled children. He has saved some children aswell. He has paid for children to get healthy from cancer and such, and what kind of children are the ones that need help to pay the hospital bills?
Children of poor parents. Who are most likely to sue Jackson to get money?
Im sure u get my point.

If ur opinions are based on what u read in The Sun and the fact that his skin is white and that his nose is screwed, I think ur doing something wrong. Lets let the judges do their job. And not judge the man with no proofs. Bloody hell. images/smilies/mellow.gif

^Yep, but I don't like the way at all how they judge people in the US with a jury in cases like this. NO-one is not biased about him..

I agree with Josty and Daniel here...and that is rare. images/smilies/mrgreen.gif

I think ppl are judging him and ready to throw him in a jail cell based on the fact that he is obviously a strange person.

Fact is, if he really molested kids, gotten them drunk to eventually molest them there would have been more than just this new case and the first kid, that is more allegations of him molesting.

When someone settles a case it doesnt mean that they want to buy their way out it means that they will pay a settlement to end the case and put it behind them.

Based on the first case, everyone assumes he's some kid toucher. Fact is, he is irresponsible with children, showing porn and letting them do what they want, BUT he is no child molester. He is guilty of being strange but not touching children.

what the hell does that have to do with the fact he abused some boys???
you're more likely to go over a certain border with someone you're comfortable with than someone else
and maybe... was he feeling guilty for what he was doing to the boys and donated that much money images/smilies/unsure.gif

(doubt the last though images/smilies/wink.gif )

"SANTA MARIA, California (CNN) -- A California jury found pop superstar Michael Jackson not guilty Monday of all charges in his child-molestation trial."
http://www.cnn.com/2005/LAW/06/13/ja...ial/index.html

I am surprised!

Unfortunately, I can't. He's not normal (well, what is normal, you say, but I don't think he is), but that would be like looking at Hitler like the guy who ordered the Beetle making... images/smilies/wacko.gif

Everyone that wanted to see this man go to jail can finally leave him alone. I'm going to be playing Thriller all day long, believe that.

Someone needs to make the "Not Guilty (Remix)" Jay-z ft. R-Kelly and MJ.

Nah Hitler only did 2 good thing, ordering the Beetle and killing himself.

Michael Jackson did lots of good things, also for children with deceases.

I still see him as a retired artist. images/smilies/smile.gif

without a shadow of a doubt, he is guilty... all the charges that were against him were all true... the only reason why he isn't going to jail is because he is Michael Jackson... I think this is really unfair, just because he is some famous artist, it doesn't make him a different person, if a John Doe walked in there with an identical trial case, he would be in jail by now images/smilies/thumbdown.gif

I still hear his music, don't get me wrong. But that was too much smoke, that probably was caused by some fire, but definitely by people eager to get attention and easy money.
It's not that I consider him guilty or not. It was really too far away and he got condemned by the press before the trial began for me to believe in it. But as I said, he's a little weird now for me to admire him the same way.

I hate to nitpick, but it's "diseases". One who is deceased is dead. Michael Jackson didn't do anything for dead kids. But we knew what you meant images/smilies/wink.gif

I still think any parent that would let their kid go sleep at a "wonderland" with someone as weird as Jackson ought to be equally guilty of whatever goes on there.
