[Sebastian Kain]

I can't believe it either..

[The Widowed]

Somehow, this hardly surprises me.

They didn't convict O.J., either. Fingerprints all over, the glove fit (and he was faking, damn it), probable cause with a previous history of domestic violence...and yet it wasn't him.

I suddenly feel the urge to play my MP3 of Brad Paisley's "Celebrity" again.... :grr:

[TroubleWolf]

Someone get me a ten year old and some "Jesus Juice", it's time to celebrate!

Freak.

[The Widowed]

Freak.
...and Blackbat is Not Guilty of posting that. :P

[Larke]

you're sh*tting me aren't you?? not guilty?? no really? serious?

[Seadevil]

I can't say i'm too surprised either. Celebrities never get more than a slap on the wrist, add in the fact the the kid's story was changing slightly, and you have the recipe for Acquital.

[MikeKAY]

Look! Look! There it goes! My last scrap of faith in the justice system! :sarcasm:

[Chain Lightning]

What a bunch of fricking dumbasses the jury was. I smell payola, BIG time.

This country is so F****ed up.
And you know what? I bet not one person shoots the SOB either.

[Solario]

So even when you're a bankrupt has-been celebrity, you still fall under the immunity clause?

[Liquidiz]

Well the cops that beat the hell out of Rodney King where not guilty...even thought they where on camera...

all u need is reasonable doubt.

OJ Simpson trial had it because of Mark Foreman and his mishandling of evidence, which paints a picture of a set up.

Michael Jackson, i can't really say for sure with out a reasonable doubt that he was guilty, for a guy who doesn't hide the fact that he shares a bed with a child, one can look at it a say that nothing's going on (or he wouldn't be so open about it)

so maybe the jury felt that people where making up stories taking advantage of a fact (that he shares his bed) and turning it into scam to get him in jail or his money. I don't know the case well enough...what i do remember though is the smirk on the police and DA during that press conference when they arrested MJ...so i wonder.

i refrain from posting..i would be banned from the boards

[Solario]

MJ didn't have sex with these kids. He made love to them.

[Liquidiz]

MJ didn't have sex with these kids. He made love to them.

Really, how could you be so sure? Did you witness these events yourself?

I personally can't say he did or he didn't because i don't have all the facts, i put my faith with the jury...all 12 of them have to vote not guilty on all counts.

[Quakester]

He was found not guilty and a cry of So What! rose from the crowd. No get him of my TV and radio. :p

[Jade_Dragon]

Look! Look! There it goes! My last scrap of faith in the justice system! :sarcasm:

Which is why we're all costumed vigilantes. :D

"And there was much rejoicing..."

[WingedAvenger]

[Tarberetta]

I really don't know if he did it or not. I mean he's a freak, but he's not THAT much of a freak.

Didn't help that the kid and his mother were proven liars either.

[Joe Schmoe]

Still in California, just jumped on to say... Very very upset he's not guilty.. I mean.. ... Speechless :(

[Magna Harrier]

We were all gathered around the TV in my Chinese class when it happened. As an upside, I now know how to say "How the heck?" in Chinese. Well, I knew before, but it got repeated alot.
I can beleive he beat the molestation sharges, but I was sure they'd nail him on the intoxicating substance charge

[MikeKAY]

Which is why we're all costumed vigilantes. :D

So true... so true.

*gets ideas* >:]

[Malibu Sally]

So he's legally innocent.... big deal. He's still a freak of humanity.

[The Widowed]

So he's legally innocent.... big deal. He's still a freak of humanity.
...and no slick lawyer in the world can fix that. :D

[Got]

I did enjoy the woman releasing doves outside though. And of course the sign reading "TRUST JESUS. REPENT." They already have a fine selection of music in heaven, as if they need any Michael Jackson.

Proving once again the American Justice System is all about the Benjamins.

The money factor is possibly true. Many witnesses were prejudiced against Jackson, but then they would come up to testify and surprise the prosecutors, and everyone, by suddenly having a change of heart. There were too many questionable and confusing testimonies for a sure-fire account of guilty all around.

Then just pile on all of the other celebrities who testified on Jackson's behalf, and you get the jurrors in an emotional mess of being influenced by people they are fans of. The Jurrors may not have felt that Jackson was guilty or innocent to begin with, but once the celebrities came and testified for him their own opinions would have been quickly swayed.
