Now how messed up is that?

Not entirely messed up. Apparently this brings to light the phrase, "got off on a technicality."

What the f*ck? Now that is ridiculous.

Oh, boy...

Michael Jackson finally gets justice and some crap from the media has to knock him down again...

It's bad enough the media created a fictional monster known as "Jacko", now they have to further harrass him after he's been proven innocent?

*sighs* Oh, how I loathe American media...

I really don't care if he gets thrown in jail or let off with no charges or just sent back in time. He's just another person, no matter how wonky in the head he might be. I think that some things don't add up, but it's the legal system - Take it as it comes. Just do what you want with him. Say he's innocent, say he's guilty, say he needs help, but I'm going snowboarding. Couldn't care any more or less

Here's MY thing. It's OVER. He's INNOCENT, as decided by a jury of his peers. The people and the media need to accept that, as it will not change, and let it go. What they say isn't gonna change the case. As, well, it's OVER.

That's a pretty important point though. He's not necessarily innocent, but he was declared to be not guilty by the jury. If he actually did it or not we'll never know.

It's not messed up, it's only professional. The phrase is "in dubio pro reo". And there was a lot of "dubio" for this "reo". I mean, even the kids who were there made different statements, so even if he would have been truly guilty, then the boys messed up.
