Do you feel that the Michael Jackson jury verdict was the right one?

I feel that based on the evidence presented, the jury had no choice but to find him not guilty. There was definitely too much reasonable doubt.

I agree totally with MrsDragon. I hope that he has learnt from this whether he is guilty 4 real or not!

12 People Were Listening To Everything , I Believe Them

I believe - MJ Is not mentally capable of such a crime - he is ill in some way but not like that. It wasnt chidlren speakin it was the parents with money in mind - power to the people!

I think maybe the parents coaxed the children to some degree, but they can not get money from a criminal trial. If they wanted money, they would have filed a civil suit from the get-go. I hope he has learned his lesson too because judging by the interview with Bashir (sp?), the fact that he provided the porno mags to the kids, the admission by him that boys slept in his bed and the admission of the 'Jesus Juice' stuff by him, I think he's a weirdo for sure! But the parents that allow their children to go to Neverland and spend the night bear just as much of the responsibility as MJ. After he paid off that other family over 10 years ago, the parents should have known better! I was not in the jury box so can't really say whether he's in fact guilty and got off or is completely innocent. But he sure is a lucky man today!
:twocents:

Do I think it was right??? No!!! Did any of you listen to the Jury after this??? the one juror said "what mother would let their child sleep with a grown man?" Sure, convict the mother.
They did not like that mother from day one. What a sad, sad day it has been.

I think he should have been found guilty on some if not all the charges."JUSTICE"...OH PLEASE!!!!

Michael Jackson is a CLASSIC pedophile. He's almost a text book case. Believe me, I know one when I see one. He'll be back in biz shortly, and much more discreetly I'm sure. Sad.

this whole time has just been so sad for me. so much talent ---wasted.
i hope his "career" is over...i cant bear to even look at him again.

in my heart, i think he did it ... more than once.

I personally feel the verdict was right. I know we all have our own judgements regarding this case, however I am glad to see Michael walk. I am so glad that poor man will not spend the next 18 years in a small cell. Let's watch and see if he does indeed flee to Europe or Africa!

I think he is guilty and should have been found guilty. Now he is free to move on to the next victim.......

just my 2 cents, no offense meant to anyone.

I believe everyone knew what the verdict would be, no one expected that he would be found guilty, and its a shame, do i think he is guilty? yes 110% and the saddest part of all of this is his own children, Prince, his oldest son will be 9 in Feburary, who is going to protect him? I'm sorry, but he is classic, and was the mother wrong? quite possibly, but then are you going to convict the many other mothers whose children have enjoyed time at Neverland? I dont know, i know i would never let my child stay there, but the point is still, The jurors, in their post interviews gave some really lame answers. The older woman, said the mother "snapped her fingers at the jurors" and that what went through her head was "you dont snap your fingers at me lady.." another lady made fun of the mother for saying that this will be burned in her brain.. Its sad that juries find innocent poor men every day guilty, sentencing them to prison or worse, death, and yet when it is the guilty with money and fame, they are running free to do it again and again. My 12 year old listened to the verdict with me and just said, are they stupid? but dont worry he said.. he will be back in a few years...
We shall see, in the meantime all i can do is pray for his own children and their futures.

I agree with what several before me have said:

1) Our system worked for his case, there was way too much reasonable doubt (wish the system worked like that for all cases).
2) I believe that he was guilty of some if not all charges.
3)Do I think money/fame can buy freedom? Darn skippy!
4)Was the mother/parents at fault? I'm not a mother, but I wouldn't let a child of my enemy child crawl into bed or a shower with an adult, much less an adult that had similar allegations made years ago.
5)MJ definitely has some issues, I am so glad that I got to play in the dirt and be a regular kid when I was growing up. :D

Now that we made it through the case, we get to listen to the viewpoint of every attorney, etc that CNN can get on TV to continue the debate :eek:.

I was not a juror and am definitely not a judge, but if we look at the way our legal system is supposed to work, it worked (having the money for high priced attorneys doesn't hurt either :rolleyes: ).

I believe that he's strange.
I believe that he has a wierd fixation with young boys.
I believe that life as he knows it is over.

I also believe that 12 of his peers, who know a whole lot more about him and his case than we did, say that there was enough reasonable doubt- not to convict him.

I voted NOT guilty......And beleive he was NOT guilty;

The power lies within the "Dream Team"

What you can afford for a lawyer... IS your Justice and Your Freedom.

OJ was guilty in my opinion....but a "Dream Team" and money bought him Justice And Freedom.

This sounds strange, but I watched an episode of Law and Order here last night, that got me thinking about the MJ trial. In this trial, there was a boy, thats mother had actually sold him off to a movie star for a million dollars, aware what was going on. To keep it quiet, the family was payed an extra $500,000 a year. The family was actually convicted worse than the person that they sold there child off to (same circumstances, come to my house with the kids room for the weekend, etc).

IF, Michael Jackson was guilty (though I say now no, cause he was proven innocent), how many families perhaps did this? Blackmailed him for money, etc, as they know he has plenty. If he had done these things, it is shocking to think about. We will never know what happened, but the evidence presented stated to a jury that he was innocent, so that is the verdict that we have to believe. IF... he had ever done that, I doubt he would again, after this whole fiasco, not only that, I would say his whole career would be tainted forever now. Just my opinion. :o

I THINK HE IS GUILTY AND ONCE AGAIN $ BUYS FREEDOM! DON'T WE ALL WISH WE WERE THAT LUCKY SO OUR LOVED ONES WERE FREE. I HOPE HE DOESN'T DO IT TO ANOTHER BOY, BUT HE WILL BECAUSE $ TALKS!

I believe based on what evidence they had in front of them and not using what everyne think about him or his previous cases that were not used in the case they made the right decsion! But who are we to judge what is right or wrong.

Oh I was sooooo happy to hear the NOT GUILTY verdict! :yay: I have beleived in his innocence since day one and have always felt that he was simply a target because of his money and kindness towards children! God forbid there be a caring person in this world who happens to have money and the heart to share it with others, befriending children, making their dreams come true and helping them through some of their worst times during an illness. He may be different, he may be weird, and he may have a weird attraction towards children, seeing how he never got to be a child himself, but in my eyes...that doesn't make him a child molestor! I am saddened that so many people confused kindness and love with sickness and sexual abuse, but I am grateful that the jury was able to tell the difference! What can I say...he has my respect!:thumbsup:

WHAT IF IT WERE YOUR CHILD? THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN OVER AND DONE WITH IN 1993. YOU DON'T PAY OUT 25MIL IF YOUR COMPLETELY INNOCENT.

THERE WERE STEWARD'S ON A PLANE THAT FILLED COKE CANS WITH ALCOHOL, AND TESTIFIED TO THAT EFFECT.

IS EVERYONE A LIAR, OR WAS THIS JURY AFRAID OF RETRIBUTION? ($ IS FREEDOM, JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE ENRON EXECS WHO LOST MILLIONS IN PENSIONS FOR THERE EMPLOYEES).

OH AND BY THE WAY, DOES ANYONE KNOW IF O.J. FOUND NICOLE AND RON'S KILLER YET?

AND THEY SAY JUSTICE FOR ALL? FOR WHO EXACTLY?:angry:!

I voted it was the rite verdict. I may be wrong for feeling this way, but with him going through this scare,(and he was scared) then if he was really guilty, then I bet he won't do it again! As a matter a fact,(assuming he didn't really do it) I bet he has nothing else to do with children at all from now on. Except his own. He sees what caos it caused him to love children. Since he is a man, and he loves kids, that automatically makes him look guilty,. In societys eyes anyway.
Just because he had a peter pan amusement park, and loved to have kids aroud, society automatically thinks because he is a man, he must have a hard on for kids. (srry) :o Alot of our innocent men are faced with that. (there are guilty ones too) But to tell you the truth, my kids would have never been there to begin with! , or anywhere else with someone who I did not know !!
But really, Who knows the truth except Michael, and the kids !!

There, I think I got it the way I want it, enough editing, lol

BY THE WAY, IT SHOULD BE AGAINST THE LAW FOR AN ADULT WHETHER MALE OR FEMALE TO SLEEP WITH A CHILD!

MICHAEL OR "M.J." HAS ADMITTED DOING THIS FOR YEARS. WHY IS THE QUESTION?

HOW MANY OF YOU WOULD LET YOUR CHILD "SLEEP" WITH MR. MICHAEL JACKSON? :angry:

:twocents: There was to much resonable doubt and we dont know exactly what the jury did hear and what they saw that brought them to this conclusion.........The 25million yrs ago who knows ~ Michael is different and strange but I think that that is the fault of his parentd and the upbringing they inflicted on him ~ maybe that to is a lie but only HE AND GOD AND THE VICTIM/VICTIMS know the truth...........All of us believe and know things in our heart but how maney of us have had the slightest doubt or concern of "what if we are wrong"...........My :twocents:

SCM32

I MUST PUT MY 2 CENTS IN ON THIS SINCE I'M SO HOT UNDER THE COLLAR ABOUT IT. MY HUZ IS IN PRISON, AND HE IS NOT HARDENED CRIMINAL AS YOU SAY. (by the way i'm probably not going to be the only one to take offense to that statement).

ANYWAY, THE SIMPLE FACT IS THAT MOST PEOPLE DO LOVE CHILDREN. BUT WHEN YOU SLEEP WITH CHILDREN WHO ARE OVER "AGE" APPROPRIATE AND THEY ARE NOT YOUR'S, IT IS NOT NORMAL BEHAVIOR!

EVEN IF MICHAEL DIDN'T TOUCH THESE CHILDREN, WHAT HE DID WAS NOTHING SHORT OF PERVERTED!

HE INDEED SERVED THEM "JESUS JUICE" AND SHOWED THEM PORNOGRAHIC MATERIAL. ( produced at the trial) WHICH INCLUDED NAKED YOUNG BOYS IN SEXUAL POSES AND/POSITIONS WITH EACH OTHER AND OTHER MAN/BOY LOVE PORNOGRAHY. I'D LIKE TO HEAR FROM MOTHERS THAT WOULD LET THEIR LITTLE BOYS SPEND TIME AT NEVERLAND. YES, THIS MOTHER MAY HAVE BEEN "NEEDY" AND NOT HAVE ALOT OF MONEY, BUT THAT'S EXACTLY THE ONE'S MICHAEL SO DESIRES.

Well, I do not think it was ok for kids to sleep with him in his bed. I did not say that. And I re-read the hardened criminal part that I wrote after I typed it,, and edited before you posted this. I realized I did not say what I was trying to say. It came out wrong! :) I have been editing for the last 10 minutes trying to get it out the way I mean for it to say :) Sorry if I offended you :o

I did not keep up with the trial. So I do not know what evidence was presented, etc: I wish I would have kept up with it.
But as I read in another thread here, there was strong evidence that he was giving the boys alcohol. And in that case, I think he should have been found guilty.(especially with alot of witnesses saying they saw it) :eek: I am going to read more about what all was shown during the trial. I am curious???

Well I for one am glad the trial is over. I do not now nor have I ever believed Michael was guilty of child molestation. He is weird -- he is strange -- but I do not believe that he is a child molester. Now he is guilty of supplying minors with alcohol (jesus juice) or what ever you choose to call it. I sincerely hope that this will be a learning lesson for him.
In the evidence presented there was too much of a reasonable doubt. And yes we all know that money does buy justice and freedom.
Just my two cents -- hope no one is offended by my opinion.

AT FIRST I THOUGHT HE WAS GUILTY AND THAT HE WOULD BE FOUND GUILTY, BUT AFTER FOLLOWING HIS TRIAL A BIT CLOSER THAN BEFORE, I KNEW HE WAS INNOCENT......I DEFENITELY AGREE WITH THE VERDICT AND I'M HAPPY FOR MICHAEL JACKSON. AS FAR AS HIM LEARNING A LESSON, I SURE HOPE SO.....MAY GOD BLESS MICHEAL JACKSON AND HIS FAMILY!!!!!

Do I believe the verdict was right? Yes. There was not "guilt beyond a reasonable dounbt." I wish so bad this is what they went by for every court case in our country.... The innocents would not be inside then...

Deb

YAAAAAAAAAAY!
NOT GUILTY!!!!!!!!!!!
For those who think he bought his way out of this one LET'S BE REAL!!!! No matter how much $$$ he has he was still just another black man in the legal system and that is never a good place to be in.

MJ may be a lot of things..... BAD, Dangerous, and Invincible but one thing is for sure......



He is
NOT GUILTY!!!!!

I saw MJ on TV, saying that he sleeps with young boys. Michael is too old to be throwing pajama parties with little boys. He may be different and he may have had a rough childhood but he is not ignorant of who should sleep with who. Adults do not invite little boys into their bed. What is the purpose? Whether he touched them or not, in my mind he is still a child molester. Does he think it is OK for his son (or daughter) to sleep with other men, on the presumption that it is innocent companionship? If so, I feel sorry for his kids.

As far as I am concerned, after listening to the jury interviews, they had the kid's mother on trial. Not MJ. All they talked about was how they didn't like the kid's mother. I think he is guilty. Just my opinion.

I was watching a friendof mine's grand daughters for a couple weeks...the older girl 4, wasnt into napping, and I needed that nap...I laid down with her...and it occurred to me that if this girl mentioned that fact to the wrong person I could be in big trouble...her mother is a heroin addict, desperated at this time for many reasons...all it would take is Evie telling her mom and i could have been in a situation close to MJ's...with no money for a decent lawyer...I have babysat for young kids, boys and girls, and laid down with them to get them to sleep...when my friend got hme, i let her know that i had been in bed with her grand daughter and got her ok, of course....I had never felt the need to do that before...

from the beginning i questioned the indictment...for awhile i leaned toward MJ being guilty...even though I I didnt really think he was capable of it....it was the media that got to me...the first time I laid down with Evie to get her to sleep, i decided he wasnt guilty of child molestation...guilty of being strange, really strange...definatley....but he had been that for a lot of years now...

Well I Would First Like To Say That I Do Agree With Some Of The Ppl On Here! But My Personal Own Oppinion Is That He Is Guilty! 110 Percent Guilty And Deep Down Is His Heart He Knows He Is.....but I Have So Much Oppions About Him...dont Like Him At All! Thats For Sure.....i Have A 17 Month Old Son...and Let Me Tell Ya....he Would Never Ever....go To Neverland If He Was Invited! But I Think He Should Have Been Found Guitly On Some If Not All Charges! Hes A Lucky Man!

in my opinion MJ is very smart he only goes after children who's parents are questionable and untrust worthy.

I believe MJ was NOT guilty. He is strange but thats about it.

WHAT IF IT WERE YOUR CHILD? THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN OVER AND DONE WITH IN 1993. YOU DON'T PAY OUT 25MIL IF YOUR COMPLETELY INNOCENT.

THERE WERE STEWARD'S ON A PLANE THAT FILLED COKE CANS WITH ALCOHOL, AND TESTIFIED TO THAT EFFECT.

OH AND BY THE WAY, DOES ANYONE KNOW IF O.J. FOUND NICOLE AND RON'S KILLER YET?

AND THEY SAY JUSTICE FOR ALL? FOR WHO EXACTLY?:angry:!
I couldn't of said it better myself, so i won't try. This is exactly how i feel about it too!:(

He should have been found guilty on some of the charges, even the misdemoners atleast! I think MJ should learn his lesson and stay away from the kids! He should have learned his lesson from the first one.

Wingy,
I understand your point when you say "I have babysat for young kids, boys and girls, and laid down with them to get them to sleep". I'm pretty sure it was not necessary for Michael to lay down with these boys to put them to sleep. Weren't their parents on the premises too? And these boys were older. I might lay down with a pre-schooler to put them to sleep but not a 9 yr old.

:yay: I agree with the verdict a 100% the man has problems but I dont think he's a perv, I wasent convinced at all and from the looks of it neither was the jury, I think they needed more evidence b4 they send another innocent man to jail.

I believe that if it were one of our loved ones on trial, they would of been convicted without a doubt. Michael Jackson has the money and the right people behind him. I think the jury figured if they found him guilty, they would have thousands of fans stalking them after it was over. GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY

The verdict goes to show you...you have enough money and you can get off every time

Mj most certainly is capable of molesting the children and he probably did!! However, the prosecution failed miserably and the defense attorneys did a super job. Tom Snedden needs to be replaced. He has lost too many cases there.

If I were a jury member, I might have acquitted as well considering the evidence. And it wasn't just the crazy mother who shook her finger at the jury members. It was her entire demeaner and the testimony of other key witnesses. Yes, MJ is guilty of some things but the jury had to decide if he was guilty beyond a reasonable doubt of the particular charges against him at the time.

I feel very sorry for his children, who may already have emotional problems. How sad that so many parents let their children stay there unescorted by a parent or trusting adult. Michael isn't playing with a full deck! I sure wouldn't spend money to go and see him or buy his so-called music. He doesn't even know how to sing. He just jumps around, grabs his crotch in time to loud music. Gross.

Mothers are responsible for there children and need to protect them. This was not some rebellious child that ran off to do something that the mother could not control. An adult knows the possibility of another adult, even a family member, taking advantage of a child. There is no excuse for a child to be sleeping with an adult unless they are their mother or father and even then you may be taking a chance. I definitely think that we should be looking at the mother! The only way I wouldn't is if the child was abused by a trusted family member because you tend to let your gaurd down with close family.

Okay - quick question...

Did they find child pornography in his house? Isn't that against the law? And I don't know ANY men who aren't pedophiles who would have any interest in young boys or teen boys unless they are gay or pedophiles - which one is MJ?

Just read this from the Associated Press:
"At least four of the jurors who acquitted him said afterward that they suspect the pop star has molested boys, but not necessarily the one who accused him in court."
I guess that explains some of it. He is guilty, just not of the charge that he was on trial for at the time.

I agree with JohnS. I believe he is a classic Pedophile and the the evidence was there. But then so was the money...
He was guilty on all counts...
My opinion...
Makes me sick.

Thank you for your comment, I couldn't have said it any better. I totally agree with youOh I was sooooo happy to hear the NOT GUILTY verdict! :yay: I have beleived in his innocence since day one and have always felt that he was simply a target because of his money and kindness towards children!

What can I say...he has my respect!:thumbsup:

I am SOOOOOOOOO shocked at everyone that thinks justice wasn't done...DAMN IT why have a trial...Why have Jurys if NONE of it matters? Get real people he was PROVEN INNOCENT let the **** go. I am so shocked especially on here, on this PTO where we have people loved ones in prison who got an UNFAIR sentence etc....

WOW....... I am shocked and now know the true meaning of hipocrite

I appologize........... but let FREEDOM RING

WHOA !!!! I can't just let this one go by...and honestly do not intend to ignore our rules on posting either but with that said ....
That comment is completely out of line........and rude.But understanding the emotional state some people are in
I'd like for you to answer the following PLEASE
1..Why is it expected for those people who have loved ones incarcerated to accept whatever decision is handed out for any crime?

The point is there ARE people incarcerated for LESS than what he DID DO !

2..Were the witnesses to the fact of serving alcohol to minors lying?

3..How many people are in prison for giving a seventeen yr old alcohol and / or having questionable "relationships" (not actual sex act) with a consensual partner just under the state legal age ??

Please consider all things before calling people hypocrites for not agreeing with a jury's decision.

again i know why i picked Robert Frost to be my signature :(

I don't care that they found him not guilty my whole issue is that if the same evidence was brought up against anyone else they would have been found guilty. When you are famous and have money everything is different.

I find it very strange that the only celebrity that has been convicted of anything is Martha Stewart. And all she did was make a phone call to her stock broker, besides being a woman. If you are a celebrity in this country you get a free ride. I wouldn't let the neighbors cat around Michael Jackson. He should be locked up for just looking freaky let alone ruining all those childrens lives. If you noticed most of his crowd of supporters were extremely young and probably don't even know or care what a pedophile is. That really gets my dander up!!!!!!!!!!!!

First just because ONE is not of THE "NORM" Society's Normal Person does NOT mean they Sexually Abused Anyone..Accusations are Accusation...Proff is Proff and until you set on a Jury as I have no-one has the right to say they are paid off..or what ever. The Lawyers have a job to and that job is to defend and prosecute and believe me at his trial all guns were fired...BLANKS were found and Justice served

My answer to your Second question>
"The point is there ARE people incarcerated for LESS than what he DID DO !"

Your statement above......Judge and Jury...... is what is wrong with America today. Even when found innocent "THAT MAN " will always be guilty in the eyes of society. We only hear what the MEDIA wants you too...what ever makes the ratings..the more controversay the better it is.....so lets keep feeding the wolves.

And YES the witness Obviously were NOT credible...12 people just like you and I sat there with NOTHING to gain by freeing him. And believe me they thought as this pole did.but the miraculous thing is the got to see the light.

As far as an answer to your first question and third question...My nickname is equalforall WHY because the poor takes pleas and the rich take trial for the most part. I do know that my son would never have seen the darkness of prison if WE COULD AFFORD A DREAM TEAM. I am 100% with you.

The point I am trying so hard to make here is..

A man was charged with the Hardest thing to beat....A SEX OFFENSE....do you know how much time he was facing?.....What the plea bargin was that was offered as so many courts do?.HE TOOK A CHANCE >>>BECAUSE HE IS INNOCENT and now he STILL IS PROSECUTED. His only crime is not being "Socially Normal" Period.

I do not mean to offend anyone......but this is PTO where most feel the injustice......JUSTICE was Served......Shout with glee

I couldn't have said it any better myself! Like your son, my fiance shared the same experience of darkness in prison....why?.....no money to "prove" his innocence. Luckily M.J. had the money to prove his.......JUSTICE was served.....I am with you ALLLLL the way my friend.:thumbsup: Here's my shout of glee.....:bow: :yay: :clap: :dance: :beer: :yay: :clap: :dance:

I believe down deep in my heart that he is guilty.... Money does talk, but one day he will have to bow down before the Lord and his money won't do him a bit of good then....I pray for his children............

I believe the verdict was right because there wasn't enough evidence to convict him, however I truly don't know if he's guilty or innocent.
I have a feeling he's innocent, but I don't know. Hopefully he's learned some lessons from this.
