Not Guilty

[Efflixi Aduro]

Michal Jackson was announced Not Guilty of all charges today if you havn\'t heard the news yet. I just fineshed watching a confrence with the jury.

So, any thoughts or oppinions about this?

I personally think he didn\'t actually molest the kid but he didn\'t have exactly normal conduct with the kid either.

He\'ll never be guilty.  He\'s got cash.

Just lock him up already, my gosh!

Are you serious? What rock have you been living under if you don\'t know that he is dangerously close to being bankrupt?

Why else would his nose fall off.

a) He\'s crazy, but that isn\'t breaking any laws.
b) 100 years ago, sleeping in the same bed as a child was perfectly normal. It\'s only recently that people think that sleeping in same bed = sex.
c) So yeah, not guilty sounds fine to me.
d) And yes, he might need to either make another record or sell some stuff to pay for everything.

but it\'s not the first time a child accuse him... is it?

I dunno a lot about this issue because in fact... I dont care about Michael Jackson... He is a singer... simply a singer. He had a bad childhood (rumours said he has a bad father I think... in fact I know nothing precisely about that) and he made his skin turned white thank to amazing doctors (ready to do everything for money...). His face is now a disasters... but the doctors have their money...

So as you created this thread explain now what\'s happened! We wanna know!

i never really watched the trial or anything about it...
i used to think he was cool... some good music... good dance moves

now, i don\'t know what to think...i want to beleive he\'s innocent... and i actually haven\'t seen any evidence or anything for the accusations (although like i said i haven\'t been paying attention that much to the trial)... but there is no way for me to know that he didn\'t commit the crimes either... people do some sick things...

It\'s unproven whether he actually turned himself \'white\' by choice. He claims that it is a rare skin condition, which is why he can no longer go out in the sun without the protection of an umbrella. I doubt someone would do that to themselves on purpose, however crazy one may be.

ahahahaha no really \"What rock have you been living under\" everytime you hear his music played on the radio, t.v he gets paid...this crap about him going bankrupt is a load of garbage started by the media. The amount of money the pop king brings in is unimaginable, the guy will never be broke...and if by some weird event he does all those high celebrities that took the stand on his behalf will lend him a few million.

My opinion on the verdict well its simple innocent until proven guilty and not guilty it is. So whether or not he is guilty it doesn\'t matter because he got away scott free

This skin condition is called vitiligo and it\'s not so rare, apparently it affects about 1 to 2% of the world population. Possible treatments include depigmentation (often when more than 50% of the skin is affected). Jackson has never provided any medical evidence about that (not that he has to, albeit to quiet his detractors).
Anyway, if you want to read about vitiligo and the plight of a genuine sufferer who eventually had to undergo depigmentation, there is this BBC Radio article (there\'s a link to the audio programme at the bottom of the page, it proves to be both enlightening and moving).

has anyone sincerely followed this?
Personally, I don\'t give a damn ... the whole thing was so made up and show ...

I\'m glad that he didn\'t go to jail, all the more peaceful this world would be. Good thing the cameras are of him, I\'m sure if he went to jail some producers would find a way to make money of it by filming him there. It would just annoy me even more, so be happy that he\'s free and noone cares about him anymore. Frankly I hate celebrities, they are scum and none of them are cool, noble or wise. Just looking at that hillbilly Tom Cruise makes me wanna commit genoside on every single person on TV. Fame is nothing to be proud of, you are lowly examples of humanity (or at the most, average (no acting talents)) and we see that you are. Too bad that you dont.
There are some actors that are exceptions but those are people that aren\'t all about the media and don\'t agree to every single film they get handed. Those that choose the image they want to portray of themselves.
*sigh...

@ajdaha: Did you said something like :
You are happy because he isnt in jail (even if he was guilty?). And did you explain your point of view by saying you dont want someone film him in jail ?

OMG look at his face and imagine what a child could feel if he is raped by him! It\'s not because you like his movies that you can say he could be unpunished! I think you wanted to say you are happy to know he is not guilty... because you think about the child and you are happy to know he wasnt raped... isnt it true?


@nada: so it\'s not a chirurgical operation issue? grrrr now I have to find in my memory who said that (but I know a lot of people said that to me in my childhood)... I hate the liars...
/me ask to his friends : hey where is my baseball bat?

[Monketh]

Why do we care?  It\'s embarassing that we have any concern at all for jackson\'s current state, but we do anyway, and the media covers it constantly.
Personally, I don\'t get it.

fken: I think he was saying that there would be riots/demonstrations if he had been found guilty.  And more media coverage.
