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

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

[Howlin]

Bayliffs being sworn in, alternatives have been sent home!

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

Bets? Predictions?

[BigSkyFreeper]

Gurney built for two.

[lainie]

Juror #5 is a 79-y-o white female

[af_vet_1981]

Yes she is, but SO WHAT? What is your point?

Based on that assumption, it was incongruous to see the words lobster and lunch in the same sentence with hildy.

[Tijeras_Slim]

Man, there is a woman at the courthouse with a box of doves -- and she plans to release one for each innocent verdict!

CD and I are ready!

[onyx]

But NO sockless goobers. Oh wait, does MJ wear socks with his slippers? I think not.

[Sundown2005]

Even tho IMHO MJ's "crimes" are less severe than OJ's or Blake's "crimes" that they were accused of, I still think he'll walk.

[Howlin]

I for one hope that he is found guilty, but makes a "run for the border" Ala OJ and a huge media circus ensues. There is nothing on TV and I need some good sick reality to entertain myself.

LOL.....me, too!!

[Veto!]

Jackson's own attorneys did not pick a Black juror.

Thereby setting up a "RACIST" riot when Jackson is convicted.

[the Deejay]

What about the black 79 yr. old grandmother, whose grandson was convicted of molestation?

CTV has mentioned this lady SO MANY times, I feel like I know her.

I thought she was ON the jury???

[mystery-ak]

he wears knee-hi's

[Howlin]

Fox now saying it's reported that Jackson was on the way to the hospital, but they can't confirm it, and the Jackson people are saying he went for a CAR WASH!!!!!!!!!

(I'm sure that's what RAYMONE said......LOL)

[onyx]

I'm not going to discuss Hildy here with you other than to tell you she's not Orthodox and she doesn't keep a Kosher kitchen.

[BigSkyFreeper]

Knee highs and penny loafers. LOL!

[IndyTiger]

Cubicle bound, but reading this thread makes me wonder if Joe Jackson's showing up at the courthouse this morning was a diversionary tactic to distract the LEOs and media while MJ flies the coop.

[onyx]

FOTFLOL! Does he really wear knee high's? LOL-LOL-LOL

[the Deejay]

Who is the elderly black lady
that CTV said looks like MJ's
mother?

[Carolinamom]

Now, HERE is a case for an investigative reporter. Calling Bob Woodward. Where are YOU?

[Types_with_Fist]

What are the sentences he might get for those two convictions?

Geez. I have no idea. The alcohol charges, I thought, were NOT felonies. I believe that's just a slap on the wrist but was included to add weight to the molestation charges. I thought I heard that the molestation charges carry something like five year sentences, with the judge having the option of making them consecutive or concurrent.
