[velcrobott]

The verdict

Michael Jackson found innocent on all 10 counts in his child molestation trial.

[Titania]

[charliecat]

How can some of you be soooo sure either way ???

I haven't a clue if he was guilty or not. Yes I think he is weird and no i wouldn't let any child of mine anywhere near him cos i think the sight of him alone would scare them half to death but that doesn't make him guilty does it.

On the other hand the fact that the mother, son and rest of family were shown to be liars also doesn't make them guilty either.

Well, it'd be a pretty dull discussion if we all just went 'Ooooh, I dunno', wouldn't it?

[nutcracker]

Yep snafu it would but that it the reality......you don't know.

[jessicasmummy]

Either way, he has been found INNOCENT for these particular charges. NOt my position to say whether he is or isnt, onyl he knows himself. I hope he gets the medical help he needs - he is obviously unwell just by looking at him.... very frail and tired.

As I said on the other thread, I think he is innocent but I also think he is a sad, sick man.

[SaintGeorge]

Innocent, guilty, whatever. If they have that fan 'Anna' on Sky again I might have to vomit.

Our opinions are so totally skewed by the media. He has been aquitted by a jury in a trial conducted according to democratic law and yet many people have decided based on what they have read and heard in the papers and on tv that he's guilty!

[marthamoo]

I hope this doesn't mean he's going to release any more albums.

[Enid]

I just want to know how he managed to get down to 6.5 stone. Do you think hes been on the CodDiet (TM)?

[gaelsgirl]

pmsl moo!

[norash]

I think (from following the trial and listening to the witnesses) that the prosecution had such a weak case that it's a wonder they went to trial.

It has nothing to do with how much money he has because if he did then this case would never have made it to court.

What happened to innocent until proven guilty, well the man walked didn't he?

And yes I do think he has been innocent all along.

I can't believe that there was at least 35 minutes of live coverage on BBCNews 24 last night (that's all I watched - prob much more)

and I can't believe I watched all 35 minutes of it. Sigh.
