Just breaking...

[Yaelle]

I am in total shock. Devastated for all the boys he has molested, his sons, and all the boys he will molest in the future.

I don't get this jury at all.

Justice was not served.

[cicero's_son]

Oh, stuff it Howlin. It will most certainly NOT be on my head, and you should be ashamed of yourself for suggesting such a thing.

[latina4dubya]

we both thought he was not guilty... i'm not surprised at the verdict...

[DCPatriot]

The judge could have at least found him guilty of contempt of court...being late. 30 days in jail.

bttt

[dfwgator]

Just like in "Stripes"

Q: Have you ever been convicted of felony?
A: You mean like, convicted? No, never convicted.

[TKDietz]

I agree with both of you. It was a weak case and the accusers were not credible. They were obviously out to make a buck and probably will still hit him up in a civil suit. He's a creepy guy, but that he did what he was accused of doing in this case was not proven to me and it obviously wasn't proven to the jury.

Never, ever, will I, or anyone in my family, set foot in the state of California. I may even cease doing any online shopping with firms located there. OJ walked and now this. Good grief! Shut the state down and board it up. There is nothing there worth anything. (No offense to any Cali-Freepers who may be reading this.)

This coming from the home state of Garrison Keillor! ;^)

FWIW, there was actually PHYSICAL EVIDENCE and CREDIBLE WITNESSES in the OJ case, but it was a racial verdict. Maybe unique to California, maybe not. (By the way, you're very much welcome to stay the heck out -- indeed, California has become a liberal nightmare primarily because of out-of-state liberal Midwesterners and Easterners moving in and bringing their politics with them -- us natives and descendents of California pioneers have a long proud history of being Republican to the core).

The OJ case is a bit different from the MJ case, where the accusers were known and established flakes and con-artists and when it comes down to the nitty gritty, there wasn't any concrete proof, just words. Certainly it wasn't enough to convince a Santa Maria jury -- Santa Maria, by the way, is a town I know very well and which is primarily agricultural and conservative. If the jury didn't find him guilty ... it's probably because the evidence wasn't there.

[MikefromOhio]

yeah....

maybe he will go live with Johnny Depp in France or something....

[null and void]

Make some for me.

[LWalk18]

These jurors were not black. Why is race coming into this?

[Texaggie79]

And all the child porn seized from his house? Is that enough?

I'm sorry, was there any counts of possession of child pornography? I seemed to have missed those. Now the items found at his house would further lead one to believing that MJ is, indeed attracted to young boys. That, in and of itself, does not convict him of molesting this particular boy.

[tuffydoodle]

Did you see the movie "Alive" or read the book?

[DoughtyOne]

Exactly! LOL

[marajade]

"not a big of moron as the DA"

I don't fault the DA. There was enough evidence to charge the case and bring it to trial. Sometimes you just gotta do what's right, and that DA will be able to sleep at night.

[Howlin]

Why? You're supporting giving him a license to hunt.

[HairOfTheDog]

Yet again we find that blacks in this country can murder and molest (whites) with impunity. Never again do I want to hear that being black makes the justis system biased against you.

Congratulations. Yours is the widest leap of logic I have ever seen.

[Dashing Dasher]

Teflon Molester!

Too funny - and toooo true!

Just Damn!

[TBP]

So should gifted. This wierdo creep has no real talent, either.

[Howlin]

He is black, or didn't you notice?
