If there was then all the civil cases against Catholic priest molesters would also be criminal cases not civil ones.
How does one actually prove molestation of young boys? There is no physical or recorded evidence and since Michael has never been proven guilty of past accusations there is no way to chain a prior pattern of behavior to the current charges.
Murder cases usually include physical evidence like the murder weapon, blood, fingerprints or DNA. When Kobe was accused of rape at least the prosecution had phone, hotel, medical records and semen as evidence. All these things are great for the prosecution to have, yet he still was acquitted. The criminal case against O.J. was from an evidence standpoint also very good. Again the result was acquital. Both of these cases had stronger evidence, so for Jackson to found guilty would be highly inconsistent.
Californians should be ashamed of wasting so much money on a poorly constructed and weak criminal case. Law enforcement has limited resources that should be used to maximize society's utility.
