Were you there to see it happen? If not, just believe what the jury says.

If you think about it, Michael Jackson is a very generous man that has done a great deal of charity work for unfortunate children. The fact is that he loves and helps children in every way he can. Sick people in the media just speculate on what he might have done . . . or what they themselves would have done if they could sleep with little boys. There's no evidence of any molestation except for the testimony of those who have much to gain from his wealth.

I bet the love Michael Jackson has with children is not sexual at all. Haven't you ever cuddled and kissed a baby? How about your dog or cat? You don't see the media accusing you of baby, dog, or cat molestation! If you love something so much, you naturally do want to show effection for it. If you love something, you naturally don't want to hurt it either.

Having as much fame as Jackson, it wasn't wise for him to sleep with boys. We have a sick society where people assume weird things happen behind closed doors.

i think he's guilty, but i'm glad the jury said otherwise, just for the family that sues him. he's already the 3rd celebrity they sue for molesting a child, and already got $150 000 out of it once

I personally believe he probably is innocent. He's just screwed up in the head, too innocent. He doesn't see anything wrong with sleeping in bed with boys and this is probably because he never had a childhood. I mean fuck, he thinks he's Peter Pan.

So you were there?

How did the Jesus Juice taste?

And tell me, what parts of the case would mean that Jackson would be guilty today?

Jealousy is a weak emotion.

He should have been forced into some sort of psychiatric help!

The man is a danger to him self and ofcourse his kids.

I have absolutely no idea if he's innocent or not.

Was the jury biased or not? Was there enough evidence? Obviously not.
Can you convict a man without evidence? No. It's just the way it is. Maybe he is innocent, maybe he isn'.

You have a really strang approach on self-determination. As soon as someone differs from the "norm" he should be taken care of by the authorities ?

Last time I checked he wasn't trying to kill himself or endangering others.

He did hold his kid out of a balcony...in front of the media.

I'm not judging, but that was a bit dangerous / stupid.
