Michael Jackson NOT Guilty



The King of Pop has been acquitted and exonerated of ALL 10 charges against him today including four counts of committing a lewd act with a child, one count of attempting to commit a lewd act on a child younger than 14, one count of conspiracy to commit false imprisonment, extortion and child abduction, and four counts of providing alcohol to a minor to facilitate child molestation.

Santa Barbara County District Attorney Thomas Sneddon, the man believed to have a vandetta against MJ, sat grim-faced as the court clerk read out the verdicts but said he would accept the decision.

The verdict came about after jurors felt that the evidence 'just wasn't there'. The jurors doubted the mother's credibility and were put off by the way she directly addressed jurors and accented her testimony by snapping her fingers. Juror No. 10 was also troubled by the fact the accuser's mother allowed her son to sleep alone with Jackson. Jurors were troubled by the fact that Gavin Arvizo's version of events was inconsistent with testimony offered by other members of his family while they were also troubled by the logic of the prosecution's timeline. It seems the culmination of all these doubts that won MJ his aquittal. However, the jury did not rule out previous abuse.

Honestly, I believe the water is deeper than it seems to be. I can't believe that only NOW has he made up his mind not to share his bed with boys anymore. It just amazes me! I think he's such a silly man.

  1. 'weird' is the word to describe him. but sometimes i feel sorry for him...he seems like a soft-spoken and misunderstood person. but indeed, there might be a 'buaya' lurking inside those cool, peaceful waters...we'll never know...

  2. Steve, thanks for your comments. Although I think he might have done 'something', if the court says he's innocent, he's innocent to me.

    I think the beheading thing is a bit too drastic, no?
