I just gotta ask....

Having just heard the 'Not Guilty' verdict on all counts here in NZ I just wondered how all of you in the US felt about the case overall?

Just curious - I have no strong feelings but having spoken to a friend in LA, he'e been saying the media coverage has been INSANE.

Peace & Love!

Sorry that's JACKSON.

I respect the guy as a performer/songwriter/singer, but the thing about sleeping in a bed with kids NOT your own just does not sit right.
Yes it's been in the news spotlight for months.
did he do anything other then sleep in a bed with minors? who knows, I mean he lies about having cosmetic surgery to lighten his skin and fix his nose.......

I'll say this: Having 'Child Molestation Trial' attached to your name does not do wonders for record sales; guilty or not guilty. I think the Jackson team did their job in mudding up the waters, so I guess we may never know if he was guilty or not.
I'm definitely not an expert on the subject, but if he is guilty most likely he'll follow the pattern of most SOs and do it again.

Personally, I think the whole thing is 'bad'.
The whole court case was a 'thriller' to a lot of people and totally 'off the wall' for others.
I still don't think the case is completely 'black or white'. I mean, he may be innocent or just a 'smooth criminal' who got away with it. Only he knows if he looks at the 'man in the mirror' and can live with himself. What was that kids name that he was accused of sleeping with anyway,. 'Ben'? Did he really tell him to 'beat it'? Anyway, looks like he was given 'one more chance', so maybe he'll invite ben over again just to tell him 'I Just Can't Stop Loving You' .

[img]tongue.gif[/img] only kidding, well done jacko for actually being innocent.

The guy shares the bed with a child for a year straight, in the absence of an adult partner...I was angry he wasn't found guilty.
