All the evidence actually points to the fact that he was a sad, lonely, strange individual, who had been fucked up by his parents and consequently never felt comfortable to grow up and be an adult. He probably made some unwise judgements in inviting children to his home, but unwise does not equal criminal. He was then royally screwed over by the nasty parents of one of the kids who had happily stayed at his house. They saw an opportunity and jumped at it and made fucking loads of money out of a sick man.
I'm not a great fan of Michael Jackson, but hell, the guy had talent in bucketloads. Just a shame that he was a vulnerable, sad and lonely figure, and has got a lot of flak for that.
