Michael Jackson Moonwalks Through Ten Count Verdict

7:26 EST

Douglas Maher-All Headline News Staff Reporter

Santa Maria,CA (AHN)-What could only be described as a surreal scene out of a Hollywood movie, "The King of Pop" aka Michael Jackson was found not-guilty on all ten counts the music superstar was facing.

Shocking to most legal analysts on television who had been for months calling the trial a done deal and that Jackson was going to jail for at least something, Jackson's legal team proved the case to the only people it mattered to in the end, "The Jury".

As Jackson lead attorney Tom Mesereau waited outside for the singer and his 4 SUV caravan to arrive, he checked his watch with what appeared to be nervous tension as the usually tardy client was living up to his reputation again of arriving on his own time.

Finally, the Jackson clan arrived.

All of them were there from father Joe to sister Janet, as a crucial support system for their little brother Michael who if he had been found guilty faced up to twenty three years in prison.

As the jury was seated it became a familiar scene as many Americans have come to know. Waiting on a high profile case to come to a conclusion on live global television. Whether it was shades of OJ Simpson, Robert Blake, Scott Peterson, or William Kennedy Smith. It did not matter at the end of the day as thousands of fans packed the streets in support of their music hero, in their eyes he has been not guilty since day one.

The charges were read via an audio hook up in the courtroom for media and the public to hear. Judge Rodney Melville had run a tight ship for the entire trial and was not about to let cameras into his courtroom to play out any unnecessary drama.

The verdict counts came in fast and furious. In the blink of an eye it was over and Michael Jackson was on his way back to Neverland to celebrate with family and friends at his spacious carnival theme park ranch in which he calls home.

Martin Stock, the founder of a Michael Jackson fan club in Germany told the Associated Press, ""The whole trial was laughable and Michael was treated inhumanly. I think people were trying to throw him into prison to get at his money."

Psychic and Jackson friend, Uri Geller,I'm trembling, this is so important. He did not let down his fans and all the people that love him. "He went through hell and now the nightmare is over."

The Rev.Al Sharpton who is also a Jackson friend and spokesman said "Justice has been served today,we still live in a country where a man is innocent until proven guilty."

It is not known what Jackson's future plans are but an offer from Donald Trump was put on the table two months ago to play Las Vegas for three years. An offer that would pay the singer in excess of $200 million dollars just for the performance rights alone.

I guess Donald likes to throw his money away.

Following the OJ fiasco, I decided not to watch a single report on this idiot's case.

Noting ventured, nothing lost. Now, will the media please stop shoving his House of Wax mug in our collective face?

I wish he would move to France. He could get a house in the same neighborhood as Roman Polansky.

Put it this way folks ... if MJ were a Catholic priest he would be going to prison and the local archdiocese would be trying to determine what property to sell. But MJ is a celebrity in LA-LA land (California) & juries won't convict celebrities ... they're star struck imbeciles.

For those maintaining Jacko's innocense I have a few QUESTIONS about Jackson's selection criteria for "sleepovers":

Why no girls?
Why only boys in a narrow age range?
Why no groups of boys but only one at a time?
Why no black boys?
Why did he appear naked before the selected boys?
Why did he allow booze and porno to be available for these boys?
WHY? WHY? WHY?......


CLUES:

It was not because of a humanitarian love for needy children.
It was not because of the innocent love of an adult lost soul who thought he was a child.
It was not because of any similarly "charming" feelings of compassion or charity.

ANSWER:

IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE PHYSICAL SEXUAL ATTRACTION OF A DEPRAVED FORTY YEAR OLD ADULT MAN FOR CERTAIN TYPES OF YOUNG BOYS.

DANG!
I was hoping for at least one conviction.

I am convinced that liberal white Californians can never confict rich black celebrities of anything.

Jackson is now free to molest and rape little boys again. That is the SICKEST part of this whole thing.
You idiot Californians!

well before these proceedings began, it was no secret that jackson had already spent himself into unmanageable debt. combine that with the cost of his, um, "defense" and look at the kind of music he's turned out in the past 10 or so years. sounds pretty done to me, no matter how many people here would by a new record of his or see his hideous face in concert.

as for quality-depraved, i'm very much enjoying the new gorillaz.

Interesting about the Vegas angle. I have said for a while that if he did that he'd make nothing but money. He doesn't even have to make another record, just play the oldies.

Funny. OJ Simpson is not financially ruined. Go to Florida and see him having a blast of a time, a state where Nicole Brown's family cannot touch him financially. That killer is over there having a pretty nice time, and is quite far from being financially ruined for the 'rest of his life.'

As for Michael Jackson. Well, he is in debt to the tune of 340 million dollars. However if he sold all his holdings, paid ALL his debt and similar particulars, he would still have 200 million after that. Erm, 200 million in the black is not exactly Bill Gates territory, but it is also far from being 'financially ruined for the rest of his life.'

I feel sorry for the dozens of young boys who will be molested by Michael Jackson in the future.

He was arguably on the road to financianlly ruin before this case started. (Massive spending, small income)

The notoriety from this case may be his chance to clear his debts.

>>>I wonder how this jury will feel if something happens again and Jackson has to go to court to prove his innocence and he lost.>>>

Never happen, he will never be charged again.

>>>Would they feel that maybe they let him off too easy and that as a result, he went on the prowl again only to harm another child.>>>

Oh you can bet they'll excuse their stupidity by telling themselves that how could they have known? I mean the mother *gasp* snapped her fingers!!!

Vegas? Perhaps. But Bangkok, Thailand would be the most logical destination for him.
