Jackson Verdict

[cabenson]

The jury has reached a verdict and Jackson is en route. The verdict is supposed to be read at 4:30pm ET, but Jacko is running late. I think he will be spending the night behind bars for a very long time. But was it a set up?

Thoughts?

ETA: Aquitted on all accounts. I thought for sure they would convict on the alcohol charges. Lord knows my ass would be convicted if I gave alcohol to minors.

I knew this was going to happen. They should have gone after the mother for sucking as a parent and prosecuted her and Jackson side by each. What kind of mother allows her teen son to "overnight it" with a grown man? Jeez!! Though I've got to say to Jackson, parlez vous Francais dude?

I'm so with you on the alcohol thing. My cousins first hangover was after a night of vodka cranberries. She was like 14 at the time. She still insists that cocktail skills are unsurpassed.

To me, this illustrated that the justice system still at least halfway works.

Let me first say this: Michael Jackson is guilty of being a serious freak. Do I think he molests boys? Probably. In my opinion, there is no excuse for snuggling up w/ young boys in bed.

The problem was the case: it was weak. The accuser changed his story many, many times. His mother/family is guilty of being scam artists. They sued JC Penney's, for chrissakes. They committed welfare fraud. They claimed George Lopez stole money from the boy. They reached out to celebrities and tried to play the sympathy card for money. MJ might have molested boys, but I wonder if he actually molested this one.

Sneddon, in my opinion, didn't do a good job convincing the jury of the guy's guilt. He didn't convince me of it.
