14 June 2225 PM: The jury in the Michael Jackson case has found the pop star not guilty of child abuse. He was also found not guilty on the minor charges of supplying minors with alcohol.
15 June 1300 PM: Now we have decided that we won't go into the full thing as there are many other sites that have dedicated loads of pages to this event but the basic fallout is of interest. In a nut shell, two of the jury admitted that they thought Jackson had probably molested small boys but did not feel that there was sufficient evidence to support it. In one of the jurors exact words :-
"I feel that Michael Jackson probably has molested boys. I cannot believe that, after some of the testimony that was offered, I can't believe that this man could sleep in the same bedroom for 365 straight days and not do something more than watch television and eat popcorn. That doesn't make sense to me. But that doesn't make him guilty of the charges that were presented in this case, and that's where we had to make our decision."
Also there is a good chance that Martin Bashir and Granada are currently looking for a new pair of pants with a massive lawsuit almost certainly coming their way.

I definitely see Jacko as a victim - one look at what he's done to his face, and the whole wanting to hang out with kids thing etc, just suggests a ruined childhood, and an extremely damaged person

This doesn't mean i am saying he's not messed up and that whatever he did was right.

If I ever dangled my little sister out of out balcony window my mother would stab me in the head and have me sanctioned.
Where as Jackson can get away it... ?
Sometimes I wish I was a celebrity...

He needs help.
Re: Smooth Criminal? MJ Found NOT Guilty

But yes, he needs help. Sell the big house, Michael. Buy a smaller one. Put your feet up for a year. Then try and make a decent record for the first time since... a long time.
I'm old enough to remember when Billie Jean came out (I was 10) and I remember how ace he used to be. Regardless of the verdict, I can't see anything about him now without thinking how sad it all is...

The jury last night kept on saying that there was reasonable doubt. That might be taken to mean that they thought he did it but that it wasn't proven to the necessary level. So, with a lower burden he might lose.
On the other hand quite a few of the jury seemed to think the mother of the kid was absolute scum.
At the very least this might encourage this 40 odd year old man to stop sharing his bed with very young boys and perhaps he might give an equal portion of his purely well meaning and innocent love for children to girls as well.

1. He's not rich.
2. He's no longer a man.
3. HE'S NOT BLACK.
Smooth Criminal? MJ Found NOT Guilty
I SMELL A WHITEWASH.
Or should that be a "blackwash?"
Or a "impetigo-wash"? (Is impetigo the skin condition he claims to have, or is it just that he is clinically insane?)
Perhaps he is a human chameleon. Probably.

aaahahhahahahahahhahaha
hahhahahahahh michael jackson used to be black. i almost forgot
Smooth Criminal? MJ Found NOT Guilty
personally i think he is guilty, not necessarily a sick and twisted predatory paedophile, but he's definitely tapped, and probably doesnt actually think he's done anything wrong. the jury were probably afraid of having his suicide on their hands if they sent him down.
all in all, the cheese has slid off his cracker for sure.
