We live in Santa Ynez a few miles from Neverland. This past 4th of July Michael pulled up in front of our home while my husband was washing the car. Michael asked him where "the western bar" was located, obviously meaning The Maverick, which is a block or so from our house. My husband did not realize it was Michael until he spoke. Until then my husband thought he was speaking to a woman.
Michael has cultivated many friendships in the Mormon church here and frequently has some of the valley's nicest families to his home for parties. He will parade all these people out as character witnesses. No matter what evidence they find, Michael will never be convicted in a criminal court. He could easily lose a civil case.
I don't believe that. If there is enough evidence, including a child's testimony, sadly, then he can and will be convicted. His personal problems do NOT excuse him from molesting children. Have you heard the adults crying when they tell of the shame and horror at having been abused by people they trusted in their childhoods? Juries are not going to be fooled by neighbor "character witnesses."
