Wow - is that the best the US could offer for a jury!

Well, I'm finding it hard to think of 12 mega-rich, ultra-surgically altered superstars who have ranches. So its Zsa Zsa Gabor and Joan Rivers then?

no santa barbara could offer. Has to be local residents of the place the crime was alleged to have been commited, I believe. In the end this isnt looking good for Jackson, if a verdict isnt reached by the end of thursday, chance are its going to be guilty, as they almost always take longer to be decided.

Whats wrong with it? Do you think they would offer him a special jury just for him?

I think you are right Craig. I think the man is sick anyway, but I wouildn't want any injustice to him. Personally I think people are trying to make money out of him, though he may be guilty too.

to be honest with you, i dont think he is guilty of the main charge of molesting a child. He is a very strange person and clearly naive and sheltered from the world, which has caused this problem.
I do however think he is guilty of the charge of giving alcohol to an underage person. But lets face it, how many thousands of adults are guilty of that at some time or another. Either way the sooner it is over the better, maybe something important will be reported first on the news for once.

That's what is most frustrating me. Every day top of the news MJ and the latest trash. All I am interested in is the verdict - forget the rest!

It's the best they could do. The government refused to release his peers from Area 51.

was just about to say that

anyone who has been to santa barbra knows the demographics

I don't think MJ is guilty.  I think he's a weirdo, and I think he's a nutjob, but I don't think he touched this kid.   I'd vote not guilty if I sat on his jury.

I honestly cant decide if I think he is guilty or not. Either way I think they should put him on probation to keep him away from kids. wether there was touching or not, I dont think it's a good idea for him to be with children.

God help us the day the criminal justice system becomes preventative....

I used to live in Santa Barbera (a v.long time ago), how come I didn't get an invite to the circus?

He is guilty as anyone could be, what do you mean you don't think he is???
He has even stated himself in interviews that he sleeps with boys and there is nothing wrong with it!
Ok I will give you the benefit of the doubt that maybe he didnt have sex with them in any manner but come on what is right about him sleeping with other peoples children??
I can see if it was his son then maybe yes the kid got scared and he "shared" his bed with him but other peoples kids? NO WAY! and remember he has admitted to doing this on many occasions.

After this is done with they then need to go and convict the parents of the children that were allowed into Neverland, any parent with any ability to be responsible would never let thier child stay with MJ or anyone else for that matter.

I do agree that some may be going for money but that isnt the issue, a sick man? yes sick in the most horrible and evil ways one can be, and if the verdict is not guilty lets see who were the ones that got the money

I can see it now MJ and OJ will ban together to seek out the real molester.

I hope he rots in hell!!!!
