The longer we justify this kind of behavior as not being condemned by a jury, the longer we will have perverts trolling our streets. Juries may not find these people guilty, but that doesn't mean we can't rain shame down on them.
We've sat on our hands long enough.
My impression of Michael Jackson was Peter Pan rather than pervert. A California prosecutor did his best to prove otherwise, and failed. There were no Blacks on the jury that acquitted Michael Jackson.
In my opinion, since the man is now dead and can’t defend himself, those who charge him with illegality should either produce some hard evidence or else hold their peace.
A woman who lives near me, Margaret Kelly Michaels, served 8 years in prison on hysterically trumped up sex charges ( The Wee Care Day Care “scandal”). She was finally released after an appeal brought by the radical lawyer William Kunstler shortly before his death. After her release she married one of her attorneys and faded into richly deserved obscurity. The law isn’t perfect, but it’s all we have, and I don’t know of any reason to distrust the verdict of the California jury that acquitted Michael Jackson. I agreed with the verdict when it was issued, and still think it was correct.
