If you found your young son sleeping in the same bed with an adult man, what would you assume was going on?
Nevermind, it's Michael Jackson, and he is just showing them how much he loves them with warm milk and cookies after wards.
His defenders paint a picture of a persecuted Saint.
No, it's warm milk and cookies first. That's part of the seduction.
For the afterwards he throws $100 bills at them.
You'll get no defense of Jackson from me. However, as I understand it, the definition of "lewd act" requires some sort of inappropriate physical contact. "Just sleeping" doesn't qualify. Juries are not allowed to redefine crimes to send a message.
I happen not to have a son, but if I did MJ wouldn't get anywhere near him.
