Poll question: Day 4 of jury deliberations - will Michael Jackson be convicted?
What's your take on the length of jury deliberations so far and their impact on the trial?

1. Who in the Hell cares.
Michael Jackson!! Michael Jackson!!
Runaway Bride!! Runaway Bride!!
Tom Cruise!! Tom Cruise!!
Paris Hilton!! Paris Hilton!!
Terri Schiavo!! Terri Shiavo!!


Blah, blah, blah, blah, Bleagh!!!

Nero fiddled while Rome burned.

The M$M was foaming at the mouth about entertainers while the country was taken over by radicals and turned into a fascist dictatorship.

I'm sick to death of this stuff. Who the fuck cares about Michael Jackson? I wish the jury would turn in their verdict so we could be finished with this garbage.

No vote for me on this because I don't give a damn.

2. There is insufficient evidence to criminally convict Jackson
Edited on Wed Jun-08-05 04:42 PM by wuushew
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.

4. It has been a shabby case since day 1. I believe he's guilty as sin
but, based of the prosecutions case so far, if I were on the jury I'd vote to acquit. If they didn't have a credible case, they should never have started this shit.
