That's total BS. It's not the child's fault that the mother is perhaps two french fries short of a happy meal. If her child was molested then that child deserves to have justice served regardless if the mother may be a fruitcake. Spare me the bullsh*t! Even a prostitute doesn't deserve to be raped!

Oh, stop the dramatics, would you? The child isn't being "punished" because of his mother -- his alleged molester is being acquitted because his mother was a terrible witness for the prosecution. The child himself was a terrible witness for the prosecution, too. In some cases this would not have been a problem, but when the prosecution is predicated on the testimony of just a few witnesses -- all of whom have credibility problems -- then it's easy to see how this would have ended in an acquittal.

I knew Jackson was going to be acquitted when the prosecutor promised the jury that they would hear damning testimony from a number of key witnesses, and none of that testimony lent any credibility whatsoever to the charges that had been brought against Jackson.

If I were a juror on this case, I'd only convict Jackson if I could also convict the mother, too. The fact that Jackson was on trial while the kid's mother was never charged with child endangerment (for letting him stay at Neverland despite knowing full well that he was sleeping in Jackson's bed) is what kept me from giving half a sh!t about how the case ended.
