JACKSON JURY WILL DELIVER VERDICT AT 4:30! Place your bets

[mburbank]

I'm betting they find him not guilty.

The standard for conviction is 'beyond a reasonable doubt'.

I think there was plenty of room for doubt here. I mean, if you pass on molesting Macauly Culkin, why would you grope a white trash cancer patient?

[MetalMilitia]

I heard a good joke the other day...

Whats the difference between Micheal Jackson and Neil Armstrong?

[ziggytrix]

[Emu]

Not guilty.

[AChimp]

I think they'll find him guilty of being a freak.

[FS]

One was the first man on the moon, the other fucks kids.

I'm not going to say anything. I'm just going to quote this as a testament to fuckuppery.

[sspadowsky]

Not Guilty across the board. Was this the same jury that presided over OJ's trial?

[darkvare]

GUILTY!! :maul

[Rongi]

i KNEW they wouldnt find him guilty

somewhere, erikakrystal is cheering

[Emu]

Who?

[ziggytrix]

Some crazy bitch who used to come round here who apparently liked erotic fiction featuring Michael Jackson or somesuch shit.

[executioneer]

[eggyolk]

[Emu]

"Not guilty" is Greek for "he paid us," right Helm?

[Guitar Woman]

Rofl

[ziggytrix]

I love how everyone has an opinion about this as though they were one of the jurors. Tell me, my consumerwhore friends, what media trainwreck are we gonna rubberneck now that this one is done?

[Guitar Woman]

Your mother. :lol

[Chojin]

I think Michael has some issues with wanting to hang out with kids, and I think certain parents use that to try and weasel money out of him. Based on my uneducated opinions, I'm glad he won the day.

[Guitar Woman]

I'm not. It would have been funny to hear about what happened to him in prison. :D

[Chojin]

People on the internet are so mean.

[Guitar Woman]

At least we're not pedophiles.

Most of us, anyway :/

[Chojin]

Oh please. He's working as hard as he can to find the real rapists.

[Emu]

QUICK, SOMEBODY MAKE A CATHOLIC PRIEST JOKE

[James]

Why would she cheer? Being a child herself, I thought she'd want to know Michael would be up for the touchin's.

Triumph at the Michael Jackson trial.

[Schimid]

I don't have enough knowledge in the case to have an opinion either way, but I was betting on him being found guilty. In a way, I'm extremely glad to see I was wrong.

I really wish he would've jumped up from the chair and done the "a-hee-hee!"

DITTO!

[soundtest]

I'm glad he was found innocent, although I'm pretty confident this will not stop until he is bankrupt. As creepy as it is, I think he just sincerely likes hanging out with children and, like Chojin said, some greedy parents want to cash in on his interest in their children.

Those parents should be charged with willingly putting their children in potential harm's way though. Innocent or not, there's no way I'd let my child spend the night with some eccentric Peter Pan freak.

[executioneer]

i really hope this thread gets about ten more pages

[Mockery]

Me too Willie, me too... I mean, I dunno about you, but my life just hasn't been saturated with enough Michael Jackson trial coverage. I need MORE!

*I'll move this to the news forum soon...

[executioneer]

what is this 'news forum' you speak of

[Mockery]

Seek and ye shall find (http://www.i-mockery.net/viewforum.php?f=5) :posh

[Archduke Tips]

Haha! Didn't move it fast enough, now this thread has the CAPTAIN OF THE WELSHMAN seal of approval.

[ScruU2wice]

wait does this mean by double jeopardy he can molest the hell out of little kids now with out worrying about it at all?

[Chojin]

Double Jeopardy deals with the same crime. Molesting one boy isn't the same crime as molesting a different one.

[Bell E. Laffs]

Hahaha, so the player got played.

[Geggy]

why isnt there a riot going on i guess michael jacksoin isnt white enough haha

guerss what? i dont care

[Geggy]

Earthquake in chile scaled at 7.1

Bunch of buttfucking son of a biotches

That was one of the first sentiments I've heard out of one of the juror's mouths after the verdict. Granted, it's not a wise parental choice for her to have let her child stay with MJ. Perhaps she WAS trying to weasel money out of him. Also evil but, at the same time, not germane as to what the jury was trying to decide. You have to ask yourself why YOU think it was unwise that she let her children stay with MJ, the mother's motives notwithstanding. The only question, regardless of the mother's motive, past history, ect is whether MJ did these things or not. That was what this case was all about. As obviously, I was not there to hear the testimony, I hope that they rendered their verdict on reasonable doubt of MJ's activities rather than the mother's character. To me, her character is irrelevant. Amidtedly, from the snippets I heard from the prosecution's case, it did sound rather weak. After hearing the brief comments of the jurors following the reading of the verdict; however, many of them DID come off sounding like a bunch of "Corkies".

P.S. Many lawyers preceding the verdict were in agreement that, when deliberation is unduly long, chances are in more than likely in favor of the defendant in the form of a "hung jury" or outright acquittal so I can't say that I was really suprised by the outcome.

[GAsux]

I think they're all crazy and should have gone to jail together. Mike, the parents, the kids, all of em.

But anyway, I agree with Blanco a little there. It seems everyone says the same thing about how the parents should be sent to jail for letting their kids there in the first place. AS nutty and shaddy as mom and dad are, on principle alone if Mike is innocent and harmless, why should the parents be blamed?

I guess its kind of like blaming a hot chick for being raped instead of the rapist. After all, she is hot, what does she expect?

I'm just glad it's done. And I'm slightly aroused at the thought of the party that must going on at Mike's house this week.

[Yggdrasill]

Jackson's lawyer says no more boys are invited to stay in his bedroom.
“He’s not going to do that anymore,” Mesereau said. “He’s not going to make himself vulnerable to this anymore.”

So I guess he will keep the temptation away praise the Lord

[kellychaos]

That's not Silly String, Billy! :(
