Bayliffs being sworn in, alternatives have been sent home!

This circus is about to be in the hands of the jury!

Bets? Predictions?

LOL!!!! I'd suggest you have a beer to calm down, but that would only cause you to use the facilites even more.

[spectre]

It's here, finally here!!!! Yes!

All the days of verdict watch..now it is MJ watch time..Roger Friedman on Fox said he was at a hotel. so he may not be at Neverland.

[oceanperch]

Court tv earlier was doing the talking head what if scenerio.

One scenerio was MJ holding up in Neverland and the Gov. Arnold having to go into get him...

Will MJ has to show up for the verdict reading doesn't he?
Wonder if he is going to show up in a Peter Pan costume?
Will they allow camaras in for the verdict reading?

I see the Santa Maria PD of about 6 in a hundle in shorts. LOL Not your avg. riot gear.

I wish they would pan the overall area to get a perspective on the paid for/bussed in psuedeo fans.

Wonder how much the MJ camp paid for pandemodium on a guilty verdict?

I am interested in hearing the real court documents.

Like the Alchohol charges that booze was near kids. How many people keep beer or wine in the fridge? That would be in reach to kids in any home in America. So that will be interesting.

[Velveeta]

I switched to CourtTV. They're saying Michael *may* be in a nearby hotel.

[Searching4Justice]

thanks for the pings, I am wondering if MJ will show for the verdict or will he use a " dummy" with a lot of powder on his face ...just in case he is guilty.........unless he does something like this he might have to lay off that magician.

[Mr. Wright]

He is going to walk . . . bank on it . . . I garauntee it!!!

[onyx]

When was the last time we have seen him? I mean verifiably seen him?

[retrokitten]

On the radio this morning they were saying that rumor has it he's at some hotel or something, so he may be closer then we think. But I am still willing to bet he is late and comes in with an oxygen mask on or wearing a hospital gown or something equally strange.

[StarFan]

Fingers crossed here!

[Howlin]

I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't show up.

[areafiftyone]

MSNBC - News e-mail said Verdict will be read at approximately 4:35 EST!

[A CA Guy]

Well, the use of selective prosecution on MJ.

To the point that California came up with laws to allow lots of rumor in as testimony that wasn't even based on a prior conviction.

I think this would eventually get challenged out of state and would be reversed because it went against a person's right to a fair trial.

It got out of control here the way the shield low would have in the Kobe case.
Kobe was a creep and both were guilty of adultery, but Kobe would not have been able to bring into court pertinent issue regarding recent mental hospital stays of the girl.

Similarly in an opposite direction, with Jackson, everything but the kitchen sink was allowed into this trial to bias the defense.

I don't like Michael or Kobe, but I don't like legal BS either.

[Unknown Freeper]

Anybody seen Al Cowlings?

[Howlin]

Oh, I was wondering if you were around!

[bannie]

Where? Was he seen in France?

;-)

[bannie]

Hey, will we get to see the verdict read?
