I'm one who said he is innocent. Now I really don't give a rats @ss either way, but it seems like this kids parents are trying to get money and nothing more. I fully agree with the rest of the world that he is the craziest guy on the planet. Maybe he is guilty and I'm crazy too. Either way I'm not losing any sleep over it. Just my $.02

I saw some interview thing a while ago that made me think he's innocent. I don't know much about it, and I don't care to know, honestly. Frankly I think it's lame it's getting so much media attention. I have a handfull of friends who've been molested by family and/or close friends of the family, and I think it's pathetic MJ is getting so much attention over it. I wish they'd take half the money they've spent on MJ's case and go hunt down the other losers who've f****ed with my friends lives. But, back to the point, I think he's innocent because of that interview deal. I don't remember much, but he was saying kids don't get enough intimacy now and I completely agree with that. TVs and computers have turned into babysitters. Kids need people and love. If MJ's story is true, I give props to him. If it's not true and there's more going on than sleeping, I expect the jusicial system to take him down. But only God knows.

Like the OJ thing, I can't wait for it to be over! I'm tired of hearing about it. Hang the freak by his balls and let's get on with our lives. -_-

In my mind he is guilty because of the past case. No one pays $25MM+ in a settlement if they are innocent. And if someone was innocent and just paid to just make it go away, then they would do everything in the power to not let themself get into the situation again. At the very least, they would make sure that there was always a couple witnesses when they were with the kids and they wouldn't be taking kids to their bedroom.

Ya the family was out to get money from Jackson, but that doesn't mean he didn't molest the kid.

Guilty but walking away. Too many loopholes in the legal system and he's Wacko Jacko for crying out loud. He wouldn't last a day in prison.

I haven't really followed much about the case but from what I keep hearing is that the prosecution did not prove their case. Nothing has been proven, the only thing thats been proven is MJ has a very weird life. Yes he had homo sexual porn in his room but there is nothing illegal about that. Judging him on his LAST case is the only thing that might get a conviction...which in my mind is a sure sign our judicial system has failed. He is being tried on THIS case and his actions with THIS kid, not his past actions. He probably is a molestor, but it has not been proven beyond a reasonable doubt.

and no, I haven't voted :D (cause the option "Could care less isn't up there")

I would be interested in why the people that think he is inocent, think so.


in the same, I would like to know those (just about everyone) that think he is guilty, why do you think so? Based on the facts from THIS case that he is being judged on. Not his past case.

For me its the whole...Looks like a duck...walks like a duck...most likely a duck.
I don't know all the facts of this paticular case...I haven't been watching too close. However he has admited that he sleeps with young boys in his bed. Who does this??? If I was on that jury I would have to look at past cases...I think in child molestation cases you have to...because once it happens it will happen again. Even child molesters will tell you...Once it happens it WILL happen again and....Hasn't he payed twice already to shut families up?

Technically there has never been a single other case...he may have paid off another family BUT their settlement of approx 25M was supposedly cheaper than going to court and paying all the attorney fees. So using the amount to say who would pay that isn't justifiable...I'm jsut wondering what happened to our court systems...isn't someone inocent till proven guilty? He's never been proven anything and yet people always use the excuse "based on past cases"...there have never been "past cases"

...And even if there were, he's not on trial for them. He's on trial for THIS one, and this one alone. The only way the jury can even consider past circumstances is if it was presented as evidence during the trial.

It was presented at trial during this case.

what was presented? His actions that have never been proven? Sounds like heresay and I would think the judge would throw that out pretty quick.

personally I think he is guilty. Like it was mentioned before... who does that stuff? It must suck getting portrayed as a freak but like Dr Moab said, "looks like a duck, walks like a duck..." Regardless of what happens in this trial I think people should start punishing the parents of these kids. WTF are they thinking. I know that if someone that my kid played with has a history of sexual abuse regardless of the outcome I still couldn't be comfortable letting him in that type of environment. I am sure these are people out to find cash but why would you put your kid through that? I don't think that it would have been taken to this level if there weren't some type of good explaination for the litigation.

Dude's a freak.... the parents are stupid.... my kid will never go to Neverland Ranch. Besides that... I still like "Thriller" ;)

It was admitted at this trial. The accuser from 1993 gave testimony on the stand. I have listened to E! channels coverage of the whole trial. This guys testimony was the most chilling. The current accuser and his family are just as wacko as Jacko, but that doesn't mean there wasn't molest there. The family is so disgutsting that, in the end, the jury will not convict Jacko because they do not want to see this family milk the court for more money.
