Michael Jackson Verdict

[Jaimecbr900]

If this was MJ's first time around on this type of charge, then I would totally buy into the extortion defense. Unfortunately for MJ, this was far from his first go around in the kiddie pool. Too many people forget that he paid off his first AND second accusers MILLIONS. The district attorneys office could not put a case together then because of the hush money.

MJ bought himself this problem. A problem that may have cost him not only money but his career too. He bought this problem when he embarked on a course of behavior that is unacceptable to 99.9% of the world.

Question to everyone that thinks he's NOT guilty.....IF you had a young child, would you let them go and spend the night AND sleep in MJ's bed????

My problem with this whole situation is that the pattern that MJ has shown is one of someone that has real mental issues. He has numerous problems besides pedophilia. So, for me it's not a super far fetch that after 2 other serious allegations of pedophilia already, the third is not such a surprise.

I didn't watch the trial with the enthusiasm that I watch my Tivo'd Judge Judy everyday. To be honest, I think MJ is a freak who has serious mental problems and therefore is not something I'm going to be glued to the TV about. With that said, he was found not guilty. I'm not gonna loose any sleep over the decision just as OJ's. My kids would NEVER go to that freak's house, so it's of no major concern to me. I will say however that my gut tells me that in this case there is too much smoke not to be a fire there. Did they prove their case? I don't know....I wasn't a juror. Do I think MJ will become a passing joke and part of old history? Probably. Do I think he has problems? Absolutely.

The verdict came out because of things we don't even know. I'm sure eventually all the jurors will make the talk show circuit and tell all. I'm willing to bet that the majority, if not all, will probably say something in the neighborhood of "I thought he was guilty, but the prosecution didn't prove it beyond doubt...". Which in essence shows that people do respect and obide by our justice system. It's a double edged sword though.

That's why it seems so much more plausible that it could be extortion. These idiot parents are still sending their kids over there, knowing what has happened in the past. Follow me? Later, QD.

I follow you, but he bought and paid for that problem. A grown man allowed young children to sleep in his own bed, even by his own admission, that IMO is setting himself up for anything that happens to him after. He has a round the clock entourage with him. He has tons of people on his payroll constantly. Nobody told him that this could end up getting him in trouble? They can manage his millions, but they couldn't tell him to stay away from kids?

The one thing that bothers me about this case, even more so than the other infamous OJ one, is that had it been someone else......results would be far different. Atleast in the OJ trial, it went back and forth and the prosecution dropped the ball. In this case he set himself up. Noone told him to sleep with kids. He even admitted to it on National TV.

He asked for it IMO.
