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.
Just WHO will go to his show in Vegas ??? High rollers won't . Litle kids won't !! A$$holes might !! Maybe he'll just snuggle up to the Donald and Steve Wynn because Wynn won't be able to see who's in bed with him (legally blind ) and Trump is totally fuc$ed up.
All in all--Jackson is sick and needs therapy. 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. 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.
I challenge the so-called-jury to send their sons and grandsons to spend 2 weeks sleeping with jacko, and see how proud they are of their decision to let the pedifile continue his dirty ways.
<< Al Sharpton who is also a Jackson .... said "Justice has been served today,we still live in a country where a man is innocent until proven guilty." >>
As usual, Al, you're wrong.
We live in a country where a creepy little shirt-lifting, turd-burgling, little-boy-buggaring faggot with a slick lawyer may be as guilty as all heck -- but until he's proven so to a reasonable doubt IN A COURT, may take his guilt and his shirt-lifting, turd-burgling, little-boy-buggaring ways -- and go home.
But still be as guilty as all heck everywhere else in the country.
I don't think he's innocent. I guess the jury felt the evidence wasn't strong enough to convict. But I don't think he's innocent. This is his second time. You'd think after the first time, he'd know better than to sleep with little boys. It don't smell right.
The clintons must be pretty disappointed that they didn't burn down LA
Free Phil Spector!
"I wonder how this jury will feel if something happens again.. "
I can only hope MJ sues Santa Maria for a billion dollars and the taxpayers have to pay for their stupidity in aquitting this child molester.
Maybe then they will learn.
Welcome to FR, newbie ...
"and boom, just like oj, he's financially ruined for the rest of his life, and of course guilty in the court of public opinion."
Gee, I dunno, oj still plays golf, while Nicole is dead.
Michael Jackson can still be ... wierd.
Don't underestimate Michael Jackson and the power of Vegas. He will put 10,000 a night in with NO PROBLEM.He could sell out stadiums all around the world. This is merely a speed bump.
For decades, I have been trying to change our system, so that if anyone is not found guilty, that they be fully repaid for all of their attorney fees, and for their lost time.
Micheal Jackson did not win - he lost millions. So does every innocent person that has to sell their homes and deplete all of their savings to prove their innocence.
Will he be moving to Africa or Europe SOON?
Oh, forget Africa ... he prefers to molest little white boys. He'd fit well in France.
THIS is a travesty of justice.
Perversion just had a holiday!
"he will never go to court again....no matter what he does."
That's not true! You'd think he would've learned his lesson after he paid out $20M when he was accused of the same crime back when. This trial should be a serious warning to him...that the next time the victim and his family may be a good deal more credible. MJ was found "not guilty" of the crime but not innocent! The prosecution didn't make his case.
Now MJ is in debt to the tune of $300M and knows that he won't be that popular here anymore, so he may be traveling abroad...extensively!
He was playing the pity me silly card and his "peers" (LOL) bought it. OR maybe he BOUGHT them? It's not unheard of.
"I hope they take their kids."
ONLY if they are from dysfunctional families and white.
he won't make it in Vegas - where an act has to sell out night after night after night at $200+ per seat, like Celine does. sure, for the first two months he will do it. but there will also be alot of people who would never stay at or set foot in the hotel he was performing at, they would boycott it (I would).
he could tour however, from city to city, and likely fill arenas in cities across the globe. I suspect that is what he will do.
"But then, someday, there is a higher court."
That's a FACT.
THAT Judge won't be fooled.
Michael Savage ripped this case apart tonight.Totally hilarious.
Yeah the old crotch grabber.
What a freak!
BINGO!
