Father Jackson

Now that you mention it, I wonder what the verdict might have been if Jackson were a man of the cloth, instead of a sequined man-thing of the closet....

Juror on this morning on Fox and Friends said the evidence said Jackson was not guily of these charges, but the '94 case had some very convincing proof.

Basically, he said Jackson was a child molester, but he didn't molest the child he was accused of molesting.

Not quite the same as being pronounced innocent.

Which is a very different promise from promising he won't molest any more.

PS - yes, I know - he was found 'not guilty' so you don't need to remind me :).

The MJ jury has now joined a long list of judges across the country that let the child molestors loose to harm our kids.

After watching the jury press conf, I could not believe that they totally ignored every prosicution witness and let this creep go.

Oh well, what would one expect from a california jury that is proud of its child molestors.

I'm just waiting for Lindsay Lohan to shoot a paparazzi and get away with it.

Alex: I didn't follow the trial particularly closely after the first few days but am not sure that I'd have voted to convict. The witnesses were certainly sketchy. That said, there's little doubt in my mind that he's a weirdo who likes to fondle little boys. Even if his proclivities don't rise to the level of criminality, I'd just assume have them discontinued.

I find it interesting that everybody just assumes Jackson's guilt. I saw the juror's press conference, and every account I read of the trial indicates to me that they took their job very seriously. This wasn't the O.J. trial--it's not like they ignored physical evidence or anything like that. I started following the trial pretty convinced of Jackson's guilt and when it was over had very serious doubts that he was guilty.
