Michael Jackson verdict announced
 

Seconds ago(litterally) as I write this they just announced the Michale Jackson verdict. Not guilty on ALL charges..... :o

Huh....I don't know what I think.

Sad situation for the kid (thought I do not think anything bad happened to him) Sad situation for MJ...he's just like a big overgrown 10 year old. I don't think any more of him really...just a big kid...

MJ needs to quit having sleepovers. Hope he learned his lesson.

I'm actually quite pleased with the verdict. Michael Jackson is just a big kid like Katie said, and he's a poor soul who has had to endure the stones casted at him by the media.

Poor MJ, he had so much to endure. Trust me, a trial is never easy on the nerve, no matter how small and trivial it might seem. I remember our last action as a family with a dad: Trial. God, that was something.

But you should hear the Germans: "He is guilty", "I hope he rots in hell", "That bastard"...

...

I could rant on and on about this, but I'm in no position to discredit those judges, so I'm just going to have to assume their verdict was the right one, even though I'm not so sure.

At least Jackson's reputation is now as ruined as his face after all of this.

I'm sorry if I'm stepping on any toes here, the guy is a great artist, but his music doesn't change that he's messed up in the head.

I truly don't believe that he didn't do anything. I don't think that he raped the kids but I just can't believe that there's no truth to all the charges. It would have been good for him to be forced to spend some time at a psychiatry.

Quite true, but think about it. He thinks of himself as Peter Pan, leader of the lost boys. And as a leader (and protector) you don't harm those children in any way. I know this sounds very odd, but with odd people you have to have odd thoughts.

I've lost all faith in the Judicial System... That's all I've got to say.

Do you have proof that he hurt those children in any way?

I'm happy with this. I do think MJ needs some help though.

No, but it is my understanding he had so much evidence stacked against him. How could they just ignore that? I believe if it were anyone else, they would've thrown the book at them, and locked them in prison for an undisclosed amount of years.

What if that so-called evidence was all a lie? They probably didn't ignore that, but rather deemed it as a lie, which it probably was.

And it is still "In dubio pro reo" - Innocent until proven guilty. And not the other way around.

With any other person... I don't know, but it might very well be as you say. But it might also not be the case. Ther wouldn't be that much media coverage though.

You mean he beat it? Wow, what a thriller of a case! I guess they offered enough evidence to show that Michael wasn't as bad as everyone thinks he is. Either that, or he's actually dangerous...a real smooth criminal.

The whole Peter Pan thing sounds like a weak defence though, to be honest, Anarky.

I'm not saying I think he was guilty but out of all 10 charges I'd thought something would come of it.

He's invincible

It is, indeed, but if you have a guy who claims to be Peter Pan, who do you look at when you want to understand his actions? Not the person, but Peter Pan.

And the trial is history and will remain as a ghost in the media world. :D

Yeah, but he could just be saying that.

He could, granted, but he reaffirmed it after stating it. Also, there are so many Peter Pan-references in his behaviour, in his estate even, that this sure doesn't seem like an act.

If other things reaffirm it, fair enough.

It just seems also like a Dr. Frankenstein case. He wanted to create life but good intentions don't always turn out for the best.

Damn it! oo; MJ flippin' SCARES me. He's so disgusting. I can't beleive they let that... THING.. go free.

Beware the cold hold of the media... :teek:
