Jackson's actions since all of this began have been defiant. That says to me that he actually believes he has done nothing wrong. It is so painfully obvious by the evidence so far that something highly inappropriate and most likely, criminal has been going on with him. I understand his family's need to defend him, but honestly, you have to at some point face reality. Some things are indefensable.
Hell, he's been getting away with it for what, 15 years, probably longer? He's been all but openly flaunting the fact that he's a child molester, daring us to do anything about it. No surprise he's defiant - he thinks he'll be able to make this one go away as well, given enough money and Bill Clinton-style victim vamping for the media.
Besides, these perverts convince themselves that they haven't done any harm, that their victims wanted it, and that the only reason it's such a big deal is that the church and the "religious right" fill the kids' heads with guilt over their sexuality. And in the case of a Michael Jackson, the media just enables these attitudes because they worship "celebrities" and want "celebrities" to like them.
