Exactly! I think it is possible that jurors could believe that Michael Jackson is very likely a child molester, but that there just wasn't enough evidence to convict in this case. But I don't believe these jurors were that high minded.
Making a clear decision to release a child molester to maintain the integrity of the judicial system would be a wrenching choice to make. Anyone truly faced with that wouldn't go running around on tv giving interviews. If it were me, I'd lock myself in the house for days praying that I made the right choice. And when the molester got to some other kid, I'd blow my brains out.
I've seen other child molesters get convicted on less than this. There was a mountain of evidence. I believe that these jurors were intimidated by the celebrity factor, plain and simple. Boy-oh-boy I wish some East Coast jurors had gotten the chance to have a crack at this case. Who knows ? Perhaps one day they will.
