“Which is it. Perfection or fallibility?”

Neither. I know of no reason to think the Jackson jury got it wrong. Jackson was undoubtedly a weird, strange, person, but it’s not a crime to be weird and strange. This is some of the testimony the jury heard, that acquitted Michael Jackson:

Against McCauley Culkin’s testimony, was the accusing testimony of the admitted blackmailers. No wonder the jury didn’t have a hard time.

As for the Margaret Kelly Michaels trial, I believed it was a ghastly miscarriage of justice the day the verdict was first issued. The same people who now are utterly convinced about the global warming menace, back then were sure all our children were being sexually molested at day care centers. Comparisons to the Salem witch trials seem quite appropriate to me.

Well, with all due respect, I reject your attempts to shield this obviously dysfunctional pedophile with the verdict of a single jury. Take a look at some of the interviews he gave about the subject. Look at what he actually became over time. Watch what he did, not what the jury decided.

Enough of this Jury crap.
