MJ's free & I couldn't be happier for him. I love MJ. I've told people all along he was innocent, I made bets on it. Got some good money from some of my dads friends,lol. I don't think he did any of those things he was tried for. Even if he ended up being found guilty(in which case, I honestly don't know if I'd believe it anyways) theres no denying his talent & don't get me wrong I don't think anyone can question his talent. There are tons of sicko's out there hurting innocent children everyday & it's not all over the news, but if MJ supposedly does it, just cause he's a celebrity everyone cares & because he's far from most peoples defination of "normal" he's seen as guilty in their eyes. He's done some questonable things to be sure but I just CAN'T see him hurting an innocent child in anyway. True or not I just can't fathom him doing something like that.

Lol, no more sleep overs. Innocent they may be, but people aren't gonna let it slide. I hear he's leaving the country, going to Europe I believe. Not sure if he really will/has though. I was shopping like 3 days ago & saw a terrible tabloid headline saying "Jacko: Only has a few months left to live!". When I first saw it I wanted to cry, then realized it was a stupid tabloid & wanted to sue!!!! People can be soo cruel. "He's not normal" they say, who the hell is?! What is normal really?! People need to be more excepting. Again he's done some questionable things & looks....different then most people; but does that make him sick, inhumane, unkind, indecent?! You know the supposed "victims" in the trial had soo much to gain if he was found guilty & so many people are so qiuck to judge & say GUILTY, well what about the phrase innocent till proven guilty? That's what I stuck with through this whole mess. He's innocent unless they say guilty(though corrupt the system). I don't believe anyone despite their status in society should be allowed to get away with harming a child, even MJ. But, the jury says he didn't & I agree. That's that, it's over, he's a free man. Leave him the hell alone people!! Least, thats my opinion. Sorry ya'll, MJs a very passionate topic for me, as is David Ruffin. Say anything bad about 'em I'm first to jump to their defense =)

Like I said, no need to hold your tounge. Your free to your own opinion as much as I am =) Just warning ya, I will jump to either of their defenses faster then the speed of light. Mind you I don't tend to really argue with people, just debate; & debate very stubbornly I might add. I only really argue with my parents....they think I should be a lawyer =) So speak your mind, say what you want.....but be fair warned of my defense skills to MJ & Mr.Ruffin =D Besides, debates are fun.

Um, you're not very familiar with my posts are you?  I'm guessing you're both young (under 18) and female...which is why it's best that I continue biting my tongue. Let's just say we're at opposite ends of the spectrum with regard to Mr. Jackson and leave it at that. Good day. ;D |

Guess I'm not too firmiliar with your post & will have to take a look. =) But I admire your constraint as well. Just to let you know I respect your opinion on MJ no matter what side of the spectrum it may be.

"he STILL needs to be in "stupid jail" for keeping up the appearance of wrongdoing after so many wake-up calls that said "people don't like what it LOOKS like you might be doing." Kalisa
I agree. I've seen many people defeated in elections because they look and act weird. They never seem to realize that no matter how qualified they may be, their looks and actions are going to be perceived in a negative fashion.
I read somewhere that Michael was told, before the trial began, that it would be best if he dressed in a conservative fashion, or, at least, more like other people. Instead he wore pajamas one day, and I guess everyone knows how he appeared on other days.
I guess he thought he had the right to appear however he wished. He just didn't realize that others had the right to draw whatever conclusions they wished.

This was a dose of reality for Michael. |

I think it should have been a reality check over overly zealous prosecutors. They have no right to waste tax money on such shakey cases.

.. and no matter what one thinks of the accusers, they, too had to go through this ordeal on false premises. If they had known how lousy their case was, they may have reconsidered.

So agree with everything ya'll just said. =) I never said Micheal was perfect, far from infact. I just always thought he was innocent.
