What is hard for me to believe is that even after the civil suits/settling out of court with victims, parents still allow their children to go to Neverland and sleep with Michael Jackson.

Yeah, he'll be caught again, but if it happens at Neverland, it's too much of a double jeopardy risk.

For the hard core Jackson fan, they get the bragging rights of saying “We stayed at Neverland”.

There is no double jeopardy problem if he commits a new crime against another kid.

"it's too much of a double jeopardy risk."

I believe it would have to be the same *incident* rather than same location or type of crime to qualify as double jeopardy. But I agree that the DA is going to be leery of trying this again. Looks like, guilty or no, the case wasn't strong enough this time.
