[ExigeEvan]

Oh my God I hope he's found innocent.

No offence to you, but I don't trust your justice system, America.

 

[Slick Rick]

Jacko's innocent!!

I heard that even if he is innocent on the child molestation he may still get one year for giving alcohol to kids.

 

[smellysocks12]

I hope he'll be innocent as well, even if he is a pedophile. The real ones to blame are the parents. Who do you blame? The alcoholic drinking the bottle of beer, or the person who gave the alcoholic a beer?


Putting him in jail for child molestation is like putting away the kid for drinking beer.

 

[MagpieRacer]

i dont care if he is found innocent or guilty tbh, it not gonna affect me either way there will be stories on him for the next 6 months so theres no getting away from that

 

[Solid Lifters]

He's super guilty. He's also completely insane.

True, the woman suing him is a lying piece of crap, and has been proven to be a lawsuit-filling defrauder. But, I think Michael picked her child to molest knowing he'd have a good chance of getting a not guilty verdict if there was ever a trial. He's that crafty of a child molester. I'm not fooled.

He's stuck in traffic.

He's obviously going to be found innocent, his defence ripped the procecutions case apart.

It also didn't help that the district DA, a man who vowed to "get him one day," started off the trial.

The jury took a long time to come to a decision. That usually means the verdict will come in not guilty.

I believe he'll get a not guilty on all counts. But, I think he's a child molester and is guilty in this case.

Tick Tock Tick Tock.

MJ is in the building and they're taking their time...

Jury entering courtroom ... should be any hour now.

More like minutes. It doesn't take long to announce the verdict. It's usually done quickly. They will have to take their time with this verdict because the police need to get into place first. Once they're ready, the court will get the OK to proceed.

 

[Solid Lifters]

Not guilty on all chargers. Wow, what a big shock. Not.

 

[dbartucci]

not guilty on all charges.

damn, solid beat me.

 

[smellysocks12]

Not guilty of any charges, it doesn't surprise me.





Now I wonder what the parents + child who accused MJ will have to do to pay Michael Jackson back for all this crap that he had to go through.

 

[dbartucci]

there could still be a civil trial. The standard of proof is lower in civil trials.

Knowing the woman who claimed Michael molested her son, without a doubt. I hope she gets nothing. I beleve she put her son in the hands of a known molester for the sake of filling a lawsuit. For that, she shouldn't be rewarded.

I wasn't following this case very closely, but if what you say is true, I find her the most guilty of all. 👎

It's a sad state of affairs when a person subjects their child to assault and abuse to get paid. Having said that, the goal of court isn't to reward anyone, but to correct some wrong, and where possible, put you in the position you were in before the wrong.

 

[Omnis]

so he's not guilty? my grandma told me he was acquitted. did i spell that right? lol.

I hate gold diggers.

 

[dbartucci]

not guily = innocent = acquitted

 

[Omnis]

oh, i know. just making sure he was indeed any of the three.

 

[unsanctified]

He's not guilty says the jury.

He's guilty says me.

 

[donbenni]

He's not guilty says the jury.

He's guilty says me.

Isn't it a good thing that they don't base court hearings on one person's opinion then

 

[Omnis]

hey, innocent until proven guilty, dude. don't ever count on being part of a jury if you have a guilty-conviction towards the defendant.

 

[dbartucci]

Jacko is a weird guy, there's no doubt about it, the facts of this case weren't conclusive to show that he did anything of the things he was accused of. This case came down to the credibility of the accuser and his family, the jury felt they just weren't credible beyond a reasonable doubt.
