BREAKING NEWS

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.

Re: Smooth Criminal? MJ Found NOT Guilty

Smooth Criminal. Ha!

Smooth Criminal? MJ Found NOT Guilty

as i just said in the other thread, he didnt even defends the alcohol related charges so how can he have been found not guilty?

and please change that photo to one of when he was black, my little brother is in the room.

Re: Smooth Criminal? MJ Found NOT Guilty

Charges 7 through 10 were all plying or intention to ply minors with alcohol.

Re: Smooth Criminal? MJ Found NOT Guilty

California-the best justice that money can buy!!

Re: Smooth Criminal? MJ Found NOT Guilty

Fuck me, that picture is hilarious.

Even Daniella Westbrook has a nicer nose!

well, I'm kinda glad he hasn't been found guilty. I'm no great fan of his recent work, but I really don't think these paedo claims were anything other than a sick and cynical attempt to part a troubled man from his millions in the bank.

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

Re: Smooth Criminal? MJ Found NOT Guilty

Millions in the bank? Which ones are they then? Last I heard he was deep in debt...

Re: Smooth Criminal? MJ Found NOT Guilty

aaah fuck that, someone like jacko will never be broke. He could sell his fucking cutlery and buy a bloody house in london. He may be in debt, but there is NO WAY that will ever be a meaningful thing to someone with so many possession, royalties, and guaranteed album sales from his fanbas. Just remember, on about two million quid, the interest in somewhere in the region of £2000 a week (or was...i dunno) which is a FUCKLOAD of money. Despite vague finanial troubles, Jacko is always going to have a couple of million down the back of the couch, or some famous mate to bail him out in the unlikely event I am talking bollocks

Re: Smooth Criminal? MJ Found NOT Guilty

Your right he sees himself as a child because he is trying to make up for the childhood that he missed out on. Which would mean even if the charges were true he would only have been acting in a inocent way.

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

Smooth Criminal? MJ Found NOT Guilty

Even if he's found not guilty (and only Jackson and those kids know the truth) he's still mentally unstable.

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...

Re: Smooth Criminal? MJ Found NOT Guilty

I'm glad he's got off, but he still needs help. He's not right in the head.

Smooth Criminal? MJ Found NOT Guilty

poor michael jackson. he's so crazy.

i almost had a heart-attack watching the live court-tv feed... because i'm an idiot.

california is awesome. don't judge it by what you know about neverland... :-|

Smooth Criminal? MJ Found NOT Guilty

Guilty or not, putting him in prison wouldn't have done anyone any good.

He needs help.

Re: Smooth Criminal? MJ Found NOT Guilty

which is the same with all peadophiles but i don't see it happening!!!!

Smooth Criminal? MJ Found NOT Guilty

One thing I would say is that for all people spoke about the amount of money he put into lawyers, do people not think that a lot of money was also spent on the prosecution?

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...

Smooth Criminal? MJ Found NOT Guilty

i expected this verdict, simply because his accusers were clearly after the cash. the one that sticks in my mind being the security guard who claimed to have witnessed child molestation but only reports it twelve years later when he smells a bit of money. scum.

Re: Smooth Criminal? MJ Found NOT Guilty

The family might still go after him in a civil case. Burden of proof is much less.

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.

He's a smooth citizen.

"you know i'm bad, i'm bad, you know it...."

Re: Smooth Criminal? MJ Found NOT Guilty

He wasn't thinking ahead on the title with that one. Or 'Dangerous'. Thankfully 'I touch kiddies after plying them with Jesus juice' didn't make the cut on the last album. That might have sunk his battleship.

Smooth Criminal? MJ Found NOT Guilty

Jakko gets proven innocent yet where are the charges against the Rolling Stones and Chris Evans? They've all had sex with minors.

Re: Smooth Criminal? MJ Found NOT Guilty

Here's a joke 'what's the difference between Gary Glitter and Jimmy Page/David Bowie?- Gary Glitter got caught'

Re: Smooth Criminal? MJ Found NOT Guilty

such a true point!!!!
plain&simple.

Smooth Criminal? MJ Found NOT Guilty

i would just like to say that even if michael jackson was found guilty he could claim diminished responsibility due to the fact he is a complete loon... and get sanctioned under the mental health act if there is an equivalent in the U.S. i really do not like this man...

Re: Smooth Criminal? MJ Found NOT Guilty

sectioned, not 'sanctioned'.
sorry...

Re: Smooth Criminal? MJ Found NOT Guilty

no worries... i always mess up...

Smooth Criminal? MJ Found NOT Guilty

What I loved was seeing the people who claimed it was a "white conspiracy against the rich black man".

1. He's not rich.
2. He's no longer a man.
3. HE'S NOT BLACK.

Smooth Criminal? MJ Found NOT Guilty

*Sniff sniff!

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.


Smooth Criminal? MJ Found NOT Guilty

hahahaahhahahahahaahhahahhaahahahahhahaaaha
aaahahhahahahahahhahaha
hahhahahahahh michael jackson used to be black. i almost forgot

Smooth Criminal? MJ Found NOT Guilty

i feel sorry for the kid in this whole situation. whether or not michael jackson is guilty, the kid has been manipulated and humiliated by an adult who's close to him.
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.

Please, i'm gunna spew!
