Bayliffs being sworn in, alternatives have been sent home!
This circus is about to be in the hands of the jury!
Bets? Predictions?
And what about many millions??
In this country you must prove GUILT. You do not have to prove INNOCENCE. It seems like that gets lost every time there is a high profile case. If the charge is out there, if you're arrested, you're automatically guilty. It's the other way around.
I know this for sure- whether he did it or didn't do it, if he is one or he isn't I blame MJ for giving off all of the warning signs of being a pedophile.
After the first disastrous court case on this topic matter,he should have heeded the warnings. And I believe any normal person would have stopped having slumber parties with children at that point.
I don't think there is anything he will ever be able to do to clear his name now.
I think as a general rule when one part of a person's testimony has been found to be not credible or they've lied, they can discount all the testimony from that person.
However, I thought the boy did rather well himself and experts will tell you that boys particularly are extremely unlikely to bring charges like this, against another man, without a basis in fact.

As for the MJ the little freak, I think he'll never run short of parents who are willing to prostitute their own kids for money. If not here in the U.S., then he'll go to Europe or Asia.
I don't know him, I don't like his music, and he is still immature and an oddball New Ager near as I can tell.
Wow someone who appreciates our world's best if imperfect criminal justice system. And here on FR too ;-)
Supposedly, he has this disorder:

You know when it's time to go to bed at Never Land?
When the big hand touches the little hand.
A clear name is of little import to a certain segment of our feller Muricans.
Loser DA...won't quibble with jury decision. Case had nothing to do with past history...
That´s another point. Our lawyers don´t earn as much as they do in the US (because their influence is rather low - judges aren´t dependant on lobbies for re-elections and there are no juries). It´s really difficult to find a fair justice system. Let´s not forget that even your juror-system has a long tradition and often decided rightly. One point is, lawyers get their money in any case - whether they win or lose, so their motives aren´t $$$, this is rather important in civil law cases.
"I imagine he made a miraculous recovery today."
LOL Yeah probably so. Surprised he didn't do a moon walk out of the court...
To celebrate his victory, he has invited the jury to a party. They can bring their boys for a pijama party tonight. Girls shall be left home.
Umlikely w/his fanatical fans, I know, but this is a clear case IMO that SHUNNING should be MJ's punishment now.
Me too.... after all these reports of intolerable back trouble, it seems everyone has forgotten that the freak is a remarkable ~dancer~.
I can buy that.
