We should know in a few minutes if Michael Jackson is convicted on any of the charges, or if he isn't.
I hate waiting for verdicts, they take forever. We were supposed to know at 1:30 (pst).

Good for him. Thought he wasn't.
Do you just wait in the wings to post things like this? This isn't even 30 seconds old on the wires, man!

He has been found not guilty on all charges.
^^^ DAMMIT
Not guilty on all counts.
Internationals were always more in Jackson's camp. I fully expected Dutchy to be the one to start this thread.
You're missing the point entirely here.
Prosecution picked the wrong case. Pity, he's about as innocent as OJ is
I very much doubt that. I'm sure as hell not, the procecution picked a bad case.Originally posted by CMJ

The Prosecution did an awful job first off and it was a bad case, I didn't even think he was guilty in this one because of the mother trying to con Jay Leno and Chris Tucker that made the whole case looked bad, and then the Prosecuters bungle their way through the case it really should be a shock the way it turned out.
That is my opinion as well (the OJ comment). Reasonable doubt was snuck into the jury's mind by the defense, and you cannot convict a man who... might be innocent.
After he paid off an accuser in 1993, one can't believe he could be innocent. You don't pay off people who don't have a leg to stand on, you go to trial and are proven innocent. In this case, however, I think his lawyers knew that they could disprove the accuser (or at least his mother), and so they went to court.
That, and Jackson is so broke he couldn't afford to pay off anyone again.
...I hear he's celebrating with a sleepover at Neverland Ranch.
Thread is in the wrong forum, so it is moved, and merged with second thread.
Add the other 4 he paid off. Oh, now that was a nasty surprise to find that out and I think that the only reason there is resonable doubt is the family the prosecution used proved to be crap. You cant base conviction on prior acts that arent related tot he case, but clearly Jackson is not insane, he's in fact highly intelligent, evidence given in trial showed he had the classic behaviour of a molestor.
The only good thing in this is that Jackson will be so closely watched, he'll have trouble putting his own hand up his pants, let alone a boy's.
That, and its hard to operate an amusement park, petting zoo, and candy factory with a crushing legal debt.
Hope he enjoys his pyrrhic victory!
I think something improper happened, but the case was very poorly prosecuted, and reasonable doubt was present. I may not agree with the verdict, but I can see why they came to the verdict they did.
Now, this much I am sure of. I am very relieved this trial is over, because it has had a direct impact on my life on more than one occasion. See, I live in Santa Maria. Less than a mile from the courthouse. Right around the corner from it. I also work at an offshoot of the city's one hospital, which is the one Jackson went to early in the trial when he started puking in the limo or whatever was going on. The hospital, including our unit, was in lockdown, the media was all over the place (at least 20 satellite trucks parked in front of the building I work in!), and I've never seen such big ol' bodyguards. It was detrimental to patient care, and I'm glad that my prediction that Jackson would collapse in the courtroom today didn't prove to be true, because we just didn't want to go through that tomfoolery again.
This whole circus has been something this city simply is not used to, and it was starting to drive us nutty. So I and my fellow residents of Santa Maria are glad this is all over.
Reporters, GO HOME! Crazy fans, GO HOME! And hooray, the police can now take down the barricades around the courthouse.
Don't we still have troops in Iraq? An oil shortage? Social security problems and a growing debt?
Hooray for the media.
I don't believe he is guilty of the charges at all. Never did.

I think he is completly innocent. The mother has no credibility, none. . .absolutely none. And the whole thing was a sham, I completly beleive Jackson is innocent!
