Will we now, then, be exposed to the Jackson trial for the next six months

[question everything]

I really could not care about the details. Frankly, I think that the parents of that child should be on trial for sending him near Jackson when it was obvious that he is not exactly a Big Brother material

1. It will be longer

Think of the appeals.

2. Hell yes.

More distraction. I am very happy that I have given up on TV media. It would make me crazy to have to watch all of this while trying to catch up on the news.

4. Be grateful

...they aren't allowing cameras in the courtroom. Can you imagine what the coverage would be like if we had to watch nightly news shots of Michael, picking his nose up off the defense table and fitting it back on? Can you just imagine the TORTURE?

As for the parents, who knows, what comes out during this trial could affect their parental rights. It's been known to happen.

10. no one here is saying he shouldn't be prosecuted, provided sufficient

evidence.
We're complaining about ANOTHER celeb trial that gets more media attention than actual news stories.

6. Easy solution:

turn off the TV.

7. Am trying to find some news

glad that cameras are not allowed. This is why they interview "experts" yesterday and today. Oh, and Laura Bush was on all morning shows until, yes, I turned them off.
