Michael Jackson Verdict Watch (Live Thread-[Update-Not Guilty ALL Counts])

Court TV; MSNBC; Fox ^ | June 3, 2005

Bayliffs being sworn in, alternatives have been sent home!

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

Bets? Predictions?

[linkinpunk]

Has a black juror given MJ the 'black power' salute yet?

[Dansong]

I believe he'll be found innocent of the conspiracy to imprison the family (not sure of official term); guilty of child molestation, and, guilty to contributing to the delinquency of a minor (by plying the kids with booze). The later charge seems to be a given.

[RetiredArmy]

Gonna be a long day in makeup, no matter who plays the part.

[RightWhale]

Will the Michael movie outdraw the neo Deep Throat movie? By more than ten to one, that is.

[Petronski]

I feel exactly as I did when the Simpson criminal jury took the case: he's obviously guilty, and he's going to walk.


I actually won a case of beer in a bet with a buddy. What will be the result of the OJ trial? Everyone gave their predictions, and I said "he's going to walk. No doubt." They thought I'd lost my mind.

[catonsville]

Hung Jury with most jurors wanting to convict. One befuddled old lady holdout screws the prosecutions case.

[corbe]

If he doesn't walk, he'll fly to a country that doesn't have an extradition treaty with the US. Roman Polanski comes to mind, among others
Personally I could give a Rats @ss. The majority of the criminal court system in California is corrupt, mainly due to jurors that want to write books or whatever.

[Petronski]

...the innocence or guilt of this pervy defendant.

Chortle...snort...LOL

[Political Junkie Too]

Rebee, LaToya, and Janet all stood up in the front row and left the courtroom in unison as the DA began his rebuttal.

Were they wearing pins with Michael's picture on it? That would be grounds to overturn any conviction these days.

Isn't there a prison/bitch generator??

[tfecw]

"Its California, he's rich and he's a celebrity. He walks."

I'm going to say he walks because the prosecution had Zero evidence.

[RetiredArmy]

He'll shortly put out a new CD of children's songs with Barney.

[Zuben Elgenubi]

Guilty, going to jail. 15 years.

[Howlin]

The judge told Jackson he will have one hour to return to court once the verdict is reached. I'm thinking he will have to stay at the courthouse!

[DumpsterDiver]

He walks but does get the conviction you mentioned.

For the sake of the kids involved, I hope Jackson really is innocent. (But I don't think he is.)

[Oberon]

...there may be a hung jury.

Don't tell the defendant the jury's hung, or we may have to go through this all over again!

Personally I believe he's guilty, but I don't think it was proven beyond a resonable doubt.

[Howlin]

You weren't paying attention, were you?
