Some of the most absolutely clueless people I've ever known are in possession of advanced degrees.

Just breaking...
Even Chris Mathews can't believe that he wasn't found guilty on the booze charge
Back to Neverland to play Peter Pan!
Sheer luck of the draw.
"But now, the parents are to blame more than MJ."
What I don't understand is if you believe that premise, wouldn't that take you to the point the MJ did what he was accused of doing? I mean... couldn't all those degreed jurors put two and two together?
It's easy to delete FReepMail without reading it.
Weird jurors found a freak not guilty.
Lack of education always favors the defense. Those kind of jurors always read way too much into the phrase,"beyond a reasonable doubt" and think it means that all evidence must be physical evidence and not circumstantial. The only things that could have convicted MJ would have been DNA along with a witness. Even a confession by MJ would not have been enough with this jury.
WTH ????
Finny must not have seen the naked boy book, where one picture had a row of naked boy bums all bent over for the camera.
Obviously some here did not follow the evidence.
"Fox just announced that the first thing they did after leaving to deliberate, was to take votes on all counts. Only then did they read the jury instructions"
I'm not a legal eagle and have never been on a jury, but I think taking any vote before deliberating (or even allowing jurors to express a definite view toward guilty or not guilty) should be strictly forbidden in the judge's instructions to the jury. If the jury votes before any attempt is made toward deliberation (and especially if the vote is said to have been unanimous) then it's hard to believe that the jury proceeded to deliberate with any open mind to consider all the evidence.
That said, I'm amazed that they were out for an entire week if they all knew in the first minutes that everyone was ready to acquit on all charges. Does that mean they really did discuss all of the evidence seriously, or were they just enjoying the food and cameraderie??? Maybe they were working up drafts of their book manuscripts while in the presence of the evidence!!!
So, NO PROB. Live to molest another day.
"But if Russell Crowe had been the rapist.."
That's the difference between Crowe and MJ. Crowe admitted right up front he did it. Big mistake.
They had stars in their eyes...and book deals on their minds.
Michael Jackson sleeps with little boys and this jury thinks it's normal.
"I made no error. I was on numerous threads hijacked by you and your cohorts. I have no intention of locating your past posts. You know I'm being honest as does anyone that spent much time on the Terri threads. Anyone else couldn't care less"
Did you post on any of these threads? If you did, you should be able to pull them up with ease.
Some of the most absolutely clueless people I've ever known are in possession of advanced degrees.
In this case, the jurors believed the defense. That doesn't mean that MJ is innocent.
Have we had another white riot yet....I've been asleep.
You put that very well! :-)
