Michael who? Guilty of what? What group?

70% of me believes he is guilty. However, guilty in the sense that he did something wrong, but doesn't know what he did was wrong. He's wrong in the head, he wants to be, and probably believes he is, a child. What others may see as molestation, he may see as innocent fun, like a sleep over.

The other 30% of me believes that the parents of the supposed molested child are trying to hold Mike up by his ankles and shake him and watch all the money fall out. It's happened before, and if people still speculate, then there's gonna be some family that allows their child to go to Neverland Ranch and then tell their kid when s/he gets home to tell everyone that Mike molested him/her.

Oh...Jackson. Coulda been Schiavo...

Oh...Jackson. Coulda been Schiavo...

I was thinking, maybe she means Stipe. I hope not. Maybe he's crazy, maybe diminished. Maybe he's innocent; maybe he's finished.

I am staying impartial to the whole thing, innocent until proven guilty.... I believe everyone should stay impartial.

 

[Ninja Turtles]

He's INNOCENT...untily proven guilty. That's the way I'll approach it. Everyone gets the benefit of the doubt. Even video isn't hard evidence, HBO's Autopsy taught me that.

Frankly, from what little I know, I have my doubts about the kid's case. I'm as likely to presume Jackson weird until proven normal as anyone else...but what I've read about it, it seems a little thin.

 

[brinny]

Who are y'all talkin' about?

 

[ClaireZ]

Who are y'all talkin' about?

Michael Jackson.

I give him the benefit of the doubt for now.

 

[brinny]

Ok, wrong thread.

 

[UberLutheran]

...NESMITH???

I know he's guilty of being a Monkee.

(Which I believe is still one of the worst groups ever created!)

Why he wasted his time with them, I'll never know...

 

[Strange_Wonderer]

I'm beggining to mostly think that he's guilty than the other side that makes me think he's innocent.

If he's guilty, I seriously don't think he knows that what he did was wrong. I believe that's the definition of insanity. There can be no doubt that the guy needs serious mental help. Prison time will kill him. Pray he gets an extended stay in a mental hospital where people will be able to treat him.

I was watching Nancy Grace last night on CNN and I guess the judge is allowing 5 of 7 other alleged testimonies of other victims. From what I understand the testimony of the 1993 victim is being allowed in to court. They read from the sworn transcripts from the 93' case last night and it was extremely graffic and was very convincing. The details when into exactly what the boy claimed Jackson did to him and how Jackson cried when the boy tried to resist him. Remember this is the case where Jackson paid the kid $20 million. There are also witnesses coming in that claim to have saw him molesting other children. They said this is very damaging to this case because it shows repeated history of molestation. Even if you question the credibility of the current family, if the prosecution shows he has a history of this kind of behavior, the jury may be swayed by the overwhelming evidence of his past. Remember there are 7 other alleged victims, only 5 are being permitted in. The breakdown I think is, the one 1993 victim, two other victims mothers are testifying, and two other eye-witnesses. One of the eyewitnesses supposidly witness the molestation of a child actor who denies it ever occured, but the witness claims to have seen it firsthand and can offer up proof. The defense was doing a good job discrediting the family, but they are going to have a very hard time disputing 5 other alleged victims. That is really going to affect the jury.

I agree, if the man is guilty he is certainly insane and needs treatment and to be kept away from all litte boys. His behavior over the years in regards to his obsession with children has definately crossed the line into an unhealthy fixation. He certainly tried hard to maintain the appearance of guilt. Even after the other cases when he settled out of court he continued to surround himself with little boys just asking to be accused of something.


Blessed Be,

Chris
