The Innocence of Michael Jackson
So I'm not at the trial and i hardly pay any attention to the proceedings cos i'm not much into TV these days. I've picked up bits and peices here and there. Namely on my PDA and in newspapers.
Anyway scratch that. Like most people i'd already made up my mind about his guilt or innocence way before the trial started. I was of the "No smoke without fire" disposition but these past past few days I suppose i've had a change of heart.
Either this guys is very selective of who he abuses or he's got some some major mind control thing going on. I'm thinking Jedi-mind control here... but i'll go with neither of the above. If three young men that have slept in his bed have come up to defend him... i say this pretty much exonerates him.
I know some people are going to come up with they're trying to protect their privacy, maybe they're traumtised argument but dude... if there was any better time to come up and say whether MJ had abused you, this would be the time.
So MJ's fucked up.... maybe with the Jesus Juice thing i.e plying a minor with alcohol. How many of us are guilty of that? I know for sure that things may have gotten exagerrated in court so given a 13yr old boy that probably smokes and drinks lager on their own a sip of wine may become "plying with alcohol" in court... but that's the situation he's put himself in.
Well just in case this entry wasnt clear enough, if i were on the jury... at the start of the trial, I was willing to find him guilty. Now I'm not convinced he's done anything worth being sent to jail for. Why? Because there doesnt seem to be any evidence of this and also, it is far easier to believe the family of the boy is doing it for the money than the alternative.
Anyone taking bets on the outcome of the trial? I put my money on MJ maybe being found guilty of the Jesus Juice bit and being let off with community service. At worst we get another "We are the world".
The sad bit of all this is that if he were to be found innocent, his ranch will be out of limits to any more kids. I'm sure he's not gonna get bitten 3 times.
