Sounds like the jurors were prejudiced against the mother rather than listening to the evidence. It shouldn't matter how much you like or dislike a witness, are the facts there and do the facts back up the case.
farcical.
The jurors let their dislike of the mother overwhelm their common sense. I wonder if they'll read that book Jackson's former friend/insider/ published last week...in which he details molestation that went on for years, the grooming, how Jackson picked on the same physical types, etc.. All part of the predator pedophile pattern. Then to hear Diane Diamond of Court TV relate that Joe Jackson shoved or deliberately bumped the prosecutor in the hallway last week, threatening him. Well, I hope the jurors have trouble sleeping at night. This verdict was appalling, and Jackson has a free pass. No district attorney will waste millions trying him for anything, and his entourage has shown they can't control him. Now they won't have to even try.
