The maid's son testified. Even though his mother wasn't a "grifter" one of the jurors said she didn't find him believable. On the other hand, reporters in the courtroom said he was quite believable, perhaps the most believable person either side called. Thus, my assessment that even if they'd had a videotape of Jackson molesting a child, they would not have convicted him.
Well, I don't share your level of skepticism.... Or any clear opinion on this case.
Clearly MJ is freaky. He's the most publically known freak on the planet. Clearly anyone who gets their kids involved with him NOW will be even freakier than this accuser from the get-go.
