Jackson needs to fry.........

Normally, after the police serve a search warrant on a location, an itemized list of what has been confiscated is released to the public. But nothing about the Michael Jackson case has been "normal" — not during the investigation, which began in 1993, and not during the most current case, which started in 2003.
Most of the Jackson search-warrant returns have been heavily redacted, leaving the public to guess what kind of "books, magazines, videos and DVDs" were taken from Neverland Ranch.
Now, Court TV's Investigative Unit can reveal some of the specifics.
One of the books confiscated from Jackson's home in 1993 is entitled "The Boy: A Photographic Essay." According to child erotica connoisseurs on the Internet, this rare book is considered to be "a homoerotic classic." The book, published in 1964, contains dozens of photographs of nude prepubescent boys, many in suggestive poses. There are nude boys captured outdoors, nude boys who appear to be posing for the camera, and boys displaying full frontal nudity.
Dr. Patricia Farrell, who has worked with pedophiles and their victims, studied the book for Court TV and concluded, "I think that this book could be used as a vehicle in a plan for seduction." Dr. Farrell said the photos in the book are perfect ammunition for a pedophile to use to begin a dialogue with a potential victim.
"It's to introduce that whole sexual kind of atmosphere," Dr. Farrell explained. "Then you can begin to use [it] and go on from there. You know, it's like going through a maze [for the molester]. They don't go through directly to the target — you go this way and that way to get to the target."
Retired NYPD sex crimes investigator Joe Gelfand, who worked in the pedophile unit for 12 years along with associates from the FBI, also studied the book. In his opinion, the coffee-table-size tome "is geared for people who, I would say, would be sexually attracted to adolescent boys." Asked if he considered it a pornographic book, Gelfand told Court TV, "I've made any arrests in my day and many times we've seen photographs like this in the homes of pedophiles. It's not sexually explicit, but it is erotica. It is child erotica."
In addition to the book, CTV's I-Unit can confirm that investigators from the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Department also confiscated loads of pornographic material from various locations in Jackson's home. (Watch the video for a full list.)
Porn movies with titles like "Barely Legal" and "Pimp Up, Ho's Down" were taken from the entertainer's master bedroom. Pornographic materials were found in Jackson's master bathroom, his den and in a second-floor closet, as well.
Other law enforcement sources explained that it is important to understand the atmosphere in which a book like this is discovered. If it is found in the possession of someone who collects books on photography, that's one thing. If it is found among a collection of pornography, that might indicate that detectives were dealing with a pedophile.
The I-Unit can confirm that when the book was confiscated, pornography was found, too. Search warrants list numerous porn magazines, movies, photographs and books that were taken as evidence.
Both Dr. Farrell and Investigator Gelfand call the discovery of mostly heterosexual pornographic magazines significant, because many molesters of young boys use such material to excite and stimulate their prey.
"The pedophile may think that the adolescent boy ... will probably be excited to see these magazines, more so than, say, magazines involving naked men," Gelfand said.
Michael Jackson and his attorneys have consistently said that Jackson is not guilty of the charges against him.
"He would never harm a child," his team has repeated many times. In the courtroom in Santa Maria, Calif., lead defense attorney Tom Mesereau has indicated they will present evidence at trial that proves the young accuser at the center of the current case (and his brother) helped themselves to Jackson's pornography collection —without the entertainer's permission.
That could explain how the boy's fingerprints got on a copy of a magazine called "Barely Legal." Sources tell Court TV forensic tests found both the boy's prints, as well as Jackson's fingerprints, on the same magazine.
I believe he is guilty for the one term he keeps repeating: "I would never harm a child". A pedophile doesn't believe they are 'harming' children by initiating sexual contact with them. I have never heard him say "I would never molest a child", it's all Freudian.
One more nail in the coffin Bump
Watch for Michael Jackson to enroll in a photography class at a local junior college reallll soon, walking around with a camera strapped around his neck. His defense lawyers will say that he is simply interested in artistic photography, and therefore had those books on kids.
They have enough evidence now to convict him three times over. Put him away for life, I say.
I would be happy to finish closing that coffin lid.
I'm with you. Convict this man before another child is harmed!!!!!!!!
His old music is great. Unfortunately, his great success gave him license to indulge his perversions. I bet all the pedophiles wish they had a "neverland" to entice their victims with.
Read some of NAMBLA's crap and you realize this is parsing to the Clinton degree. Sex is not seen as harmful to the boy therefore the pervs would never HARM a child.
Stick a fork in him.

What a sick f*%k!
who'd expected anything else. I wonder if any of these Hollywood types are normal. I guess if we knew who they were we would stop listening to much music and stop watching most movies.
Jackson needs to fry.........
Sad to say but I feel he will get off because this has been draggin on for close to 15 years now. You throw enough money at a problem it will go away. If he should be convicted I think he will end up in another country or get a very minimal sentance with probation and counseling.
BTW: How do really famous people buy porn? Would they not be noticed or even if using a credit card their name will be on it?
"pedophiles wish they all had a neverland to entice their victims..."
Agreed. But because he's Michael Jackson, famous eccentric, its ok for him to "sleep with the children". If Bubba the plumber two blocks down did that, he'd be tried and convicted faster than you can say "Shamon!"
That is a huge question. If they found that stuff in my house, they wouldn't wait for any trial -- my kids would be taken immediately. Here he is with 3 kids, including an 8-year-old boy.
"...found both the boy's prints, as well as Jackson's fingerprints, on the same magazine."
I hope they handle this better than the OJ gloves fiasco.
But you know, I have always said all the prosecution has to do is show to the jury the interview Mikey gave that British journalist where he admits to enjoying sleeping with boys and you can stick a fork in him right then.
Sounds like your average, run of the mill Jock Sturges book, doesn't it????
