Bayliffs being sworn in, alternatives have been sent home!
This circus is about to be in the hands of the jury!
Bets? Predictions?
Very sad, the Mother obviously is an opportunist, the family very dysfunctional BUT there is not a chance in hell that Jackson is NOT a child molestor.
It was reported that the BBC stopped all there programming to show the verdict.
No she wasn't.
Howlin responded directly to the "N" bomb post without blinking am eye.
Which is what a jury is supposed to do. You are supposed to go into the court room without any preconceived judgments and be able to separate yourself from your personal opinions and judge the facts.
Sneddon did what he was supposed to do..try to protect the community from a child molester...He is retiring after 24 years as DA..He tried and failed but I know more about MJ's propensity to molest now and I hope parents are no longer seduced into supplying MJ with bedmates.
He is starting to look like some of the Rolling Stones. Come to think of it, he is already not far from geezerhood.
Was he a murderer? No, just a sick person (and I don´t mean the same "sick" as it is used for perps!), and he got a therapy. Btw, our judges don´t need to prove that someone is guilty. They need to be convinced of his guilt, that´s a difference. But, our prosecutors (as well as the defence) may appeal to higher courts.
I believe that Sneddon is a stronger man than that.
I also believe that Sneddon was right. He tried to do the right thing. I want people like him to keep trying to do the right thing--even if a jury proves to be too--something--to do the hard-but-right thing.
I hope Sneddon knows that many people admire his efforts.
BTW: If the jury doesn't have the guts to face the media after this, they really prove to me that they were simply too weak to do the right thing.
Mez has been a millionaire for
donkey's years. That's how he
got hired. That's how Geragos
got hired in the beginning.
G., got $180,000 for two weeks
work for mj and G. doesn't know
what he did to earn those kind
of bucks. Except he held the
family's passports in his safe
and didn't know they were there.
yeah....riiiiiiigghhtttt......
I guess it's party time at the ranch.....Well, Howlin...this isn't what we were praying for...I hope he moves to France...there's a fresh crop of little boys over there..
Howlin, even a suspect family of accusers I don't think can explain this by itself, even though several have said so.
However, if you disbelieve them, or any witness, I think you need independent corroberation, do you not, in order to find guilt? If they threw out the suspect family's testimony, then they would look for something apart from that to prove it. My thinking is, either they could not find enough independent of the family to convince them, or they actually strongly did not want to find Jackson guilty because he's Jackson, and therefore did not look for it.
What they would look for instead was any and everything that fit the defense theory of the case.
I am with you that they did not want to find him guilty of anything. Might not have been due to his race, but to his celebrity. Because let's face it, they put a pedophile back on the street.
Some will claim a poor prosecution put him there, but a nullified jury bears blame as well.
Well I guess they were going after the wrong person. It must have been his Monkey "Bubbles".
I heard that Michael was seen shopping at WalMart. He heard that "Boy's pants were half off" Heehehe:)
and french boys surrender like crazy
Hey, spectre, good to see you too.
FreedomCalls, thanks for the tip. I might try it, notwithstanding this says I'm not supposed to.
Benoquin: Chemical Name: MONOBENZONE - TOPICAL (BEN-oh-kwin)
Common uses:
Monobenzone is used to treat the loss of skin color (vitiligo). It works by permanently removing color from normal skin located around skin with vitiligo. Do not use Benoquin for other skin color conditions (e.g., freckling, age spots, etc.).
Possible side effects:
Dry skin, burning, irritation, redness, cracking or peeling of the skin may occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, notify your doctor. Tell your doctor immediately if any of these serious side effects occur:
rash, swelling, skin discoloration of areas not treated with Benoquin. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.
I agree, and aside from the closing argument which was apparently quite effective, I think the prosecutors did a p***-poor job trying this case. I've thought this was going to be an acquittal ever since Jackson's ex-wife blindsided the prosecution in her testimony. Michael Jackson is seriously weird. I am convinced right down to my bone marrow that he's probably a child molester and a pedophile. The thing is, in this country one must prove those things in court. Just because me or 10 other people or 1,000 other people or a million other people think those things are true doesn't mean it should send him to prison.
mj's a dirty old man who diddles with young, innocent, weak members of our society. He's a piece of filth. He builds a "mouse trap" and sculpts himself into what he thinks is more attractive to the innocents.
At the end of this, he's even more vile...and much more dangerous.
Considering that he Peterson convicted on 100% circumstantial evidence, yes I think his lawyers blew it. I don't see how the ineffective counsel argument would ever work in a case like this. No the prosecution was far better, and the jury ate it up. If he had a different jury and different lawyers? Maybe he would have gotten off.
I think the jury was repulsed by the mother and the kid. Welfare cheats can't help a prosecutor win a case.
Watch for books to be published soon.........
