Jackson won because he knows how to pick his victims because their families are whacko. And because they are whacko, they do not come across as credible.
I think that's why we never heard that he did anything criminal to Culkin, because of his star status. And who knows, maybe he didn't do anything to McCauley.
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 am no big fan of Jackson and he is definitely a freak, but the facts of the case were bothersome. Timetable didn't make sense.
"I wonder how this jury will feel if something happens again.. "
They'll feel nothing. The only feeling they have today is a feeling of excitment. They're probably all waiting breathlessly for an invitation to his "playground" for the celebration.
I hope they take their kids.
But then, someday, there is a higher court.
A 46 year old man sleeps with young boys, has kiddie porn in his bedroom, and just because one of the lala land jurors says she didnt like the mother of the accuser snapping her fingers at her they find Jackson not guilty?
Miscarriage of justice.
"I think that's why we never heard that he did anything criminal to Culkin, because of his star status"
culkin would NEVER EVER admit to having done/seentouched MJ. it would be the absolute death knell of his acting career forever. he would overnight go from being the kid in home alone to the kid who (insert verb here)'ed michael jackson or who at least saw michael jackson doing one of a number of things.

Never happen, he will never be charged again.

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!!!

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.
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.
As for how the Michael Jackson jury feels, if he did it again - they probably would hope he will get off again.
I wonder if the prosecution asked potential jurors of they are a member of, or have ever supported, NAMBLA and the ACLU (which has come out strong for select pedophiles). And also their opinions about pedophiles.
Interesting that Rev. Jesse Jackson came out in support of Michael. After Clinton pardoned a Chicago pedophile, the man was hired by Rev. JJ.
