SANTA MARIA, Calif. -- Michael Jackson was formally charged yesterday with repeatedly molesting a cancer-stricken boy invited to his Neverland Ranch, setting the stage for one of the most sensational celebrity trials this Internet-wired, 24-hour-cable world has ever seen.

The nine-count felony complaint charged Mr. Jackson with seven counts of lewd or lascivious acts upon a child under 14 and two counts of administering an intoxicating agent.

All these stories make me sick, because I know the trial will be a farce full of "poor black me" stories versus the awful whitey boy and his mother....

spare me...

our society is so split right now....people defending the likes of MJackson, calling any accuser of Kobe a "slut" among other names, voting for the Toon twice, letting the likes of McDermett in Washington have free reign to talk his nonsense because he just knows the idiots will keep voting for him......

we are diverging....those that want character and ethics and justice and common sense against those that are so pop cultured ingrained that they can't even think for themselves anymore....

when is enough , enough....

Why was Jacko allowed to leave the country? Guess they don't consider him a "flight risk". I think his upcoming trial will be a real dog and pony show.

"Michael Jackson is unequivocally and absolutely innocent of these charges," said Mr. Geragos,...

I'd like to know how Mr. Geragos knows this. I saw with mine own eyes the way Michael Jackson was holding hands with said molestation victim. The way they leaned into each other like lovers. The way they both defended their love for each other and stated clearly there was nothing wrong with it. I suspect Mr. Geragos didn't see this interview, otherwise he wouldn't be so absolute and unequivocal. I wonder if Mr. Geragos saw his own son holding hands and touching leg to leg with Mr. Jackson whether he would be so sanguine about the whole thing.

The kid's latino so that may not fly. And Santa Barbara isn't very black, so there's not much chance for a repeat of OJ.
