FLUXBLOG FILL-IN PART VI: JACKSON NOT SO BAD AFTER ALL

Not guilty, y'all gotta...feel him. Err. No. That's not right.

I thought he'd at least be guilty of supplying booze to kids!

Yeah I agree, I figured he'd be at least guilty of one charge...I would understand it too. I mean a lot of minors have been fed alcohol from time to time, it just would suck to be caught and charged by it.

This is indeed a sad day when a PEDOPHILE is "not guilty" because he can afford lawyers.

I have no trust in the justice system. Actually, I didn't after OJ got off, then Blake and now Jacko the whacko. UN-@#$%-ING BELIEVABLE.

He got a fair trial and was rightfully acquitted. How do you know he actually molested those kids? You do not. You can only assume and speculate. It's a shame the way that people immediately jumped to conclusions. What's even worse is the amount of time the corporate media has devoted to covering this stupid trial.

I find it disgusting how people can make accusations like that about another human being. Michael needs mental help, but he's no paedophile. He missed out on a real childhood, and now he's trying to live one now. This woman is an extortionist. If her son slept over there once and they went straight to the police, I might have my doubts. But he kept on going back. It was a mistake for MJ to pay-off those people a few years back...it made him look like an easy target. In summary, Jacko needs mental help, that woman and her son have no conscience and justice was served today.

You're not going to find that here. Why? Cause that's not what this site is about. We don't come here to read about Iraq, or healthcare. We can (and surely most do) read mile length posts on those subjects elsewhere—there's no shortage of sites covering those issues.

So, get down of your high horse and come wallow in the shit, like the rest of us.

What about the possibility that the jury, as they are saying themselves, just didn't see a good case?

MJ is an odd man, a disturbed man, and one I probably wouldn't leave my chid with alone. But he's also a closely watched man, an observed man, an accounted-for man. Did he ever molest a child? I don't know, maybe; he seems out of touch with reality enough to do it and not think it's wrong. But did he molest THIS child? I barely followed the case and I wouldn't have charged him guilty. This mother, this child and this case specifically, were complete messes. Timelines didn't match, testimony changed, and the jury couldn't see evidence strong enough to convict him.

Enough with the barbs at CA, and the assumption that MJ got away because he's famous. The jury said they didn't see enough proof to convict, so they didn't. Let's hope he gets some help, now.

Okay, quick legal lesson for you folks. Double jeopardy refers to being tried twice for the same crime, usually after having first been acquitted. Taking legal cues from film is bad. Taking legal cues from an Ashley Judd film is sad.

Meena, as a fellow Canadian (I'm from Toronto, but let's just bond on that fact for a second) just because you new to the English language, you should respect it.

After all, I had to attend French classes with a spinster of an old hag to respect yours.
