  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

"Do you think michael jackson guilty or innocent? Yes, No, Don't know"

The poll options are not very well defined. Does "yes" mean "yes, I think that he is guilty", or "yes, I think that he is innocent"? Your poll will be skewed and therefore pointless.

Innocent. That's what the evidence said, so that's what he was. It doesn't matter if people think he is "a bit off", what matters is if he committed the crimes that were brought against him. He did not, is what I gather from the evidence I have heard.

No. It means he's not guilty. It doens't mean he's innocent.

Guilty he got off because he has power and money. If he was average he would have been thrown in jail and the key tossed away. he would have beed put in a cell by himself cause otherwise he would not survive. That just my opinion.
true. if he went to prison, the only thing that might possibly keep him alive is his fame. but still, even with that, he wouldnt last long

Well, in any case, I'm pretty convinced that the jury was incapable of handling this case. Many of the interviews with jury members (not sound bites...) seemed absurd. When repeatedly asked about specifics concerning why they ruled the way they did, not a single one of them could even give account to even one single circumstance to why they thought he was not guilty. They would say "oh, there are lots of reasons" but when asked for a single reason that really made an impact they would avoid the question and say something like" oh, oh there are just to many reasons to get into" kinda stuff. I mean it was really weird.

lol but they sure did have a strong opinion about the boy's Mother. His Mother would stare at the jury and at one point pointed her finger at one of them and said something like "that's how it is in this world". Man, they were all over her in the interviews, like really the Mother was the one on trial here. IMHO, this trial was botched and should have been a mistrial. I think there was some bullying going on in deliberations.
