1. how do you know for sure if he is guilty or not?

2. What does that hve to do with god? Should god turn everyone in the courtroom into mindcontrol zombies and do the trial himself?

3. Why would god support sending someone to jail?

I never claimed there was a God, but in law there's a concept called "innocent until proven guilty". This story's evidence had too many holes in it to filter even Swami's big brain.

this was not the first time some littkle boy cried "Jackson", but still nobody beleives him like the little boy who cried wolf..

basically now jackson can molest little children as long as he lives and no one will question him again. it's fucked up!

my homie gets 5 years for 1 3/4 lbs. of weed, and Jackson can touch kids, and all he gets is publicity.

I'm guessing your homie had more evidence against him than Jackson then.

And prior accusations don't mean shit if there wasn't a conviction. Without a finding of guilty, those kids' accusations mean nothing more than the screaming of random words.

You can't convict when the star witness is bought off by an 'undisclosed amount'.

Nevertheless, what do you expect the law to do? If Jackson paid someone to stop the spread of bad publicity and there was no guilty verdict, it has no legal relevance.

This is a great example of Platonic knowledge. Everything everyone knows about Jackson is imagined. It is not real knowledge. You have no way of knowing if he's guilty or not. Everything you know about what happened is given to you by other sources...you have not experienced the situation yourself.

Just because he is extremely eccentric does not mean he has sex with children.

I don't see how they could have found him guilty.

There was no evidence of him "molesting" anyone.

I didn't follow the trial very closely, but I did read the highlights of what happened each day. When the prosecution finished, but before the defense started, I claimed that there wasn't enough evidence to convict Jackson of the molestation charges. After the defense finished up, I felt that there wasn't enough to convict on any of the charges. The only thing that surprised me is how long it took the jury to reach a verdict. I guess they had to reach 10 verdicts, so I understand.

I honestly do not know if Jackson has molested young boys or not. He is an odd duck and I can see him simply wanting to have the childhood that he was denied. I can also see vulturistic people wanting to get rich quickly at Jackson's expense.

> Money always trumps justice. See OJ Simpson.

I disagree, at least with Jackson. I didn't get the impression that his money had anything to do with the juries verdict.

> This story's evidence had too many holes in it to filter even Swami's big brain.

The prosecution did not present enough evidence to convict.

> basically now jackson can molest little children as long as he lives and no one will question him again.

And OJ can kill as many people as he wants and get away with it and no one will question him again? Your logic is flawed. If anything, people will be quicker to attack than before.

> Jackson can touch kids, and all he gets is publicity

You consider what he got to be good publicity? Again, there was no proof that Jackson 'touched' any children.

> You can't convict when the star witness is bought off by an 'undisclosed amount'.

Assumption that the star witness was actually molested and not after an 'undisclosed amount' of money. Actually, the amount was disclosed to be 20 million. The star witness could easily have prosecuted first and sued second had they been after retribution rather than money.

> I wonder who the accuser's family will try to shake down now?

Exactly.

> Just because he is extremely eccentric does not mean he has sex with children.

Another exactly.

> That kid's mother sounded like a gold-digger anyway.....

Not only did she sound like a gold-digger, she had a proven history of it.

> I don't see how they could have found him guilty. There was no evidence of him "molesting" anyone.

That is how I feel as well. I don't know if he did it or not, but the prosecution in the case did not produce any evidence of him molesting anyone. The case should have never gone to trial as weak as it was.

I'm not convinced one way or another, though I think he's freaky enough to have done it, but for the sake of discussion:

[devil's advocate on]

The prosecution did not present enough evidence to convict.

-The boy's testimony was clear and graphic.

-The boy's brother said he saw MJ's hand in the boy's undies on two occasions while he slept; MJ didn't notice he was looking.

-The boys' sister was NEVER invited into MJ's room.

-Assorted other testimony shows Neverland to be distinctly boy-centric.

-A security guard says he saw MJ and the boy through the glass in the shower; the boy's undies were on the floor.

-A flight attendant on MJ's airplane testified that she saw MJ give alcohol to the boy.

-A psychologist testified that he didn't think the boys were lying.

-The boy accurately described a blotch on MJ's penis.

There's more. The transcripts found their way online:

http://www.thesmokinggun.com/michaeljackson/021505mjgrandjury.html

That is how I feel as well. I don't know if he did it or not, but the prosecution in the case did not produce any evidence of him molesting anyone. The case should have never gone to trial as weak as it was.

What would constitute enough evidence in your opinion?

Not only did she [the mother] sound like a gold-digger, she had a proven history of it.

This seems to be the primary defense.

So, a past history of potential molestation doesn't count against MJ, but a past history of potential gold-digging (she was never convicted of anything) DOES count against the mother. Double standard?

The jury members (mostly women) didn't like the mother snapping her finger's at them. Also she was dressed shabily and her hair wasn't done which indicated she was trying to "act poor" which made her look like more of a goldigger in the juries eyes.

The other thing that didn't sit well with the jury was that the boy's original video with police was made after the family and boy had spoken with attorneys.

I am not making this up, those were the comments by a couple of the jurors.

I am also not convinced one way or another... but I do want to comment on this one part:

The difference between the two sides of this comparison is that MJ is the one on trial. The system is supposed to be "innocent until proven guilty" which means that "potential" is not grounds for conclusion.

So it doesn't really "count" against the mother, because the mother is not the one on trial. It would REALLY "count" against someone who was on trial, because it would be THEIR life which is irrepairably changed based on "potential" as opposed to evidence.

I followed the trial pretty closely and had not heard that. Sources please.

You didn't hear it in testimony because the judge, inexplicably, wouldn't allow the evidence. This doesn't change the fact of its existence. From the BBC web site at:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/music/4511991.stm

Quote of the day: "I'm going to deny the request to bring in evidence of the blemished penis."

It was Judge Melville's ruling on a bid by the prosecution to bring in last-minute evidence that Jordy Chandler, the singer's accuser in 1993, identified a spot or blotch on Jackson's genitalia which was subsequently photographed by the police.
