As to the charges, if he does Beat It, is he then a Smooth Criminal? Or is he in fact not Dangerous or Bad at all? At any rate, the trial's been a real Thriller.

If he is so harmless why did he pay off that kid a few years ago to keep his mouth shut????

Do I think He has moested kids? yes I do..but I also think they picked possibly the worst case to prosecute... the family has been trying to scam money from celebrities for years. That of course does not mean he didn't molest this kid, but it does make it near impossible not to leave a reasonable doubt in a juror's mind

Theory: Micheal Jackson is very strange man who was so lonely and strange man who liked to keep the company of young boys. Emotionally, he is ~13 years old, and 13 yr olds like slumber parties with other 13 yr olds. So yeah, he kept stange, inappropriate company, but that does not make one a pedophile. Hopefully for his sake having slumber parties is over -- it's weird and invited speculation on pedophilia. It makes him a strange, strange man, but not a perverted child molester.

I happen to believe this theory most likely.

Yes, I've always thought he was innocent. There's no way he would only be accused twice in all those years if that's what he was doing. He's just a kid that never grew up, and prefers the company of other children. Yes, he's weird and eccentric, but he's completely harmless.

If he is so harmless why did he pay off that kid a few years ago to keep his mouth shut???

[/ QUOTE ]

Now that is a disgusting argument...

The man was about to embark in 1992.....on his Dangerous Tour....Think of the financial implications that would have had for him......Either :

A)U pay $10million to pay off a kid and u make $~150million on a 15 month tour with all the promotional stuff that goes with it.....

B)U forfeit all your concerts etc, and get dragged through the courts on a battle that is effectively your word against someone elses...


Believe the cliche - ITS NOT EVEN CLOSE.....

Maybe its just me, but my reputation means more to me than any amount of $$$ in the world. By paying that kid off it was in essence an admission of guilt not in a court of law but in the court of public opinion which is what really counts when it comes to making money.

Ever since he paid that kid off how much endorsement money has MJ made? No one wants to hire a freakish looking suspected pedophile to endorse their products. If he was truly innocent he would know this to be true and would have fought for his reputation with everything he had. Instead he paid the kid off and has had "the appearance" of wrongdoing ever since.

I have been involved in a criminal case in which I was falsely accused and it was the scariest thing I have ever faced in my life and I was offered the chance to plea to a lesser crime which would have guaranteed me nothing but probation as opposed to a possible 4-10 year sentence and I refused because I knew I was innocent of what I was accused of.

You can't possibly argue that he paid that kid off because of an upcoming tour/album promotion when the shadow that has remained over him ever since the 1st incident has had an affect on record sales since then ( well that and the fact that his music has sucked for 10 years + now)

But almost all the witnesses to that have a history of lying and or previous court proceedings. That gives REASONABLE doubt to their story not being true.

[/ QUOTE ] Right. And Michael has no previous history or court proceedings that would have an impact on the case.

[/ QUOTE ]

You're right. He doesn't. It's called "inadmissable."

I don't get this. If I were to say "I sleep in the same bed as 13 year-old boys whenever I get the chance," I wouldn't be surprised at all if the thought that I'm a pedophile crossed all of your minds.

I wish I could be broke enough to own the neverland ranch and the rights to all the beatles recordings... are you that naive to believe him crying poverty?

Give me enough lawyers and accountants and you can make anyone appear broke... trust me its what my firm does.. we hide rich people's money from the government legally

Wouldn't surprise me at all if he's legitimately broke, bordering on bankrupt. I could buy a $5,000,000 home on credit tomorrow and I'd be broke. Just because he has a palace to show for his brokeness, doesn't make him any less broke.

Not guilty of anything? WTF.

LOL...after having experienced the OJ trial...this surprises you????

Americans are incapable of finding celebrities guilty.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes, none of Mike Tyson, Tupac, Rob Lowe, James Brown etc was ever convicted.

[/ QUOTE ]

Fine...CALIFORNIA juries are incapable of finding celebrities guilty.

Btw...Rob Lowe plead guilty, so he doesn't count. The rest were all tried and convicted outside of California.
