The prosecutor simply did a horrible job, and has allowed a pedophile to walk.

The best baker in the world can't bake a cake unless he has the ingredients.

I think they should have held off even charging MJ unless and until they developed a more solid case.

It wasn't a great case, I agree. However, that's what a prosecutor is going to get with Michael Jackson - not great cases because he chooses his victims carefully and they'll all eventually sort into the "nuts and sluts' defense.

Bottom line: Michael Jackson has publicly admitted he sleeps with unrelated young boys in the same bed. Should a 45 year old man be allowed to do this?

"I think they should have held off even charging MJ unless and until they developed a more solid case. " what was left to develop: 140 witnesses and a closet full of evidence and that wasn't enough??? Obviously, the DA had nothing and went for the emotional verdict by mounding as much into this trial as possible. His star witnesses fell apart on cross and a major star witness is in jail for bank robbery and never testified in the court case after having testified to the Grand Jury.
