Often times, pedophiles hope to be caught and stopped. They know what they're doing is wrong but they can't stop themselves. I think Jackson secretly hoped that he would be convicted and that he would be stopped from hurting any more children. His outlandish and obvious displays making him look like a child molester (see the mural, books with naked boy pics, etc) are just more evidence that he wants someone to catch him and stop him. The system failed the boys that have been molested by Jackson, the boys that will be molested by Jackson in the future, and it failed Jackson himself. He needs to be stopped, locked up, and given the mental health care that he needs.
I seem to be alone in fearing the worst for 'his' three kids. You know damn well he's already diddled with them. One day this jury will be reading about the sexual molestation he put his kids through when they're old enough to tell. He cannot help himself because he is a pedophile. As I said before, I wish insomnia on the jury for the rest of their nights...
