Michael Jackson case

[Casey]

No one could ever possibly know for sure if Michael is 100% guilty or innocent. I for one am completely unsure of what and what not to believe. What are your opinions? Guilty or innocent? Please explain

[RevShirls]

Legally,  he is innocent until proven guilty. I am afraid the evidence given in the trial doesn't seem very convincing. All the witnesses so far have changed their stories a number of times and one of them even admitted lying to the court. It's always difficult in such high-profile trials when money and perhaps greed can be a determining factor.

Michael Jackson's lifestyle is weird to say the least and adults who have children (other than their own) sharing their beds/bedrooms (whether rightly or wrongly) leave themselves open to speculation. I have always considered Michael Jackso to be a bit asexual but my mind is open on this issue - but the evidence so far is not convincing.

I definately think Michael Jackson is strange.  There has to be something wrong mentally for a person to change his face so many times.  Does he have problems looking at himself in he mirror? 

I agree with RevShirls, the evidence against him is looking a bit unsure now but the police must have had some sort of evidence for bringing in to court in the first place.  I guess only time will tell.

[netibiza]

I would be a good juror as am completely at a loss to know so would have to listen to all evidence.  Who to believe - on one side the strangest man alive and on the other a doubtful (allegedly) moneygrabbing family.  Whatever the outcome will we ever know the truth??

Jackson had spent his entire childhood amoungst adults.  I think he now reealise he has missed out on his childhood.  I don't think he would abuse them  he just likes to be with them and in is own ways would like to be a child. Even so he is an adult and should know that it's wrong to share a bath tub and bed with them.  Its strange that he admits he sees nothing wrong with that.  I don't like Jackson  but I don't he's an abuser

[libertie]

Don't know if he's guilty or innocent, but strange he most certainly is! I have read several articles on paedophilia and the one thing they all seem to agree on, is that paedophiles in general do not seem to grasp the fact that there is anything wrong in sleeping with or touching a child, for them it is merely a way of showing affection - now that is worrying!! Also helps explain why they continue to behave in this way even after they have previously been taken to court.

For me he's innocent till proven guilty in all honesty i feel sorry for him, he has never had a so called normal life really has he always been in the spotlight since he was a young kid. Yea it is strange him thinking there is nothing wrong with the kids sharing baths and beds etc and im pretty sure the guy is gay, he never actually had intercourse for either of his kids they were artificially inseminted. And no he can't be a very happy chappy with all that plastic stuck to his face can he really, i think he has lots of issues but i do feel for the guy but he is so strange that i dont know what to think really. I do think that all those kids parents are just greedy begggars all jumping on the same band wagon though! And if those kids are messing up with there stories then surely something is wrong there too.....It's a tricky one as he certainly could be but he also might not be...Grrrr

If I remember well, a few years ago there was a case where Jackson just paid a family so that they drop the accusations.
To me, that proves he was innocent :
Would you take money in return for your child being abused? Of course not. You would want justice, not money.
Well, they took the money and dropped the case. That says it all.

I think he made a big mistake there, showing everybody that they can make loads of money out of him by accusing him.
So I think most of the accusations are false.

[mattvanduck]

If he is either innocent or guilty, one thing is for sure, if he was innocent my child would not be going to the "Neverland Ranch"even if he got an invite!!

[netibiza]

Space I saw on a programme that the original accuser said he could identify "marks" on mj's nether regions when enlarged if you see what I mean and mj immediately paid up - but then whey didn't the police continue with the case if it was so definite.

[natalie_1982]

Whether he has or he hasn't, surely any person in their right miond (maybe this is the problem!) would not leave themselves open to abuse charges if they have already been to court (and had to settle outside) before.

[secretspirit]

I'm not sure about it really but I really think the parents of these kids should be asked why they let their children share a bed and be unsupervised with a man who had previously been accused of sexual abuse. Surely they have some responsibilty in this because even with someone who'd never been accused most parents would be dubious about the activities taking place.

[netibiza]

There you have it Secretspirit in this case the parents should also be on trial for not protecting their children - of course they were probably starstruck - but to my mind that makes it even worse!

[Ray the DJ]

Jackson is obsessed with young boys.
Does a normal adult invite kids to stay with them and sleep in the same room.
He says he insisted he slept on the sofa, but why not just sleep in a seperate room?  Why  would he want to sleep next to the boy.
Why did he pay off a considerable sum to the last family that threatened to take him to court.  If he was innocent he had the money and means to prove them wrong in court.

RevShirls, what do you define as 'weird', and why do you think he is 'asexual'?

[JOEYSHABADO]

That guy is soooo gonna get off this charge, show me how the prosecution can claw their way back now.

Why did he have 'barely legal' porn around his house? If he has this and shares his bed with young boys, shouldn't alarm bells start ringing in the heads of local law enforcement officials? What if he gets off? Publicity seeking losers trying to make a buck off him by letting their kids sleep over? And then something really bad happens and we go 'Duh, der was no warning signs boss'.

[El D]

lol so legal porn of adult females, and sleeping in the same bed as little boys, means he is a danger. I mean, obviously the two are connected.

[JOEYSHABADO]

Yeah El D, anyone who looks at adult porn is on the same wavelength as someone who picks out the stuff specifically marked 'barely legal'. 'Barely legal'???? I mean FFS! What does this mean? "I would like to look at pics of underage kids, but it's against the law so I'll go for the next best thing, these pics of barely legal ones"? I mean commmme on? I find it pretty hilarious that you should be suggesting to me that because they are 'technically' adults it's ok to promote them as 'as close to underage as we could get'. And why, anyway? All the models are of legal age? So what? These mags probably seek out the legal age teenagers who are 18 but look 15.

So yes, I stand firmly by my comments. Someone who seeks out the company of underage kids and then sleeps with them should be put on a list and watched. Someone who does this and then is found in possession of 'Barely legal' porn? If this isn't a warning sign to you then what is?
