Is it not a crime to show children PORN in CA?

[iconoclastNYC]

Didn't they find the boys fingerprints on the porn stash?

1. That doesn't prove HE showed it to them

just that they got their hands on the tapes or whatever.

4. You can probably find kids fingerprints on

anyone's porn stash.

2. were you ever a child?

I read lots of people's porn when I was a child and I didn't bother to wipe my fingerprints. The adults in question never knew about it.

You can't destroy a man's life with "evidence" of that quality.

3. When I was a kid my dad's porn had my fingerprints on it.

That's because when he wasn't home I'd go in his bedroom and look at them.

5. The accuser admitted he brought porn into Michael's home

It may not have been the magazine in question, but it showed the accuser was hardly a victim.

6. Only if you can prove it in court

As you see plainly in political campaigns, you can accuse freely of ANYTHING...proving it, well thats a different story.
From what I understand, the prosecutors handed the book to the kid during the Grand Jury testimony and the defense pointed out that thats when the fingerprints could have been put on it.

7. They didn't prove Jackson showed him the porn

Apparently jurors thought it equally likely the kids found the stash on their own.

Any guy who has teenage kids knows his porn stash will be found sooner or later.

8. Wow. Yeah .... locks never work.

Its just a given that if you have porn your kids are going to find it so why bother being responsible?

And by the way, these were visitors.

9. convict him goddammit

convict convict, of something, anything. Why so desperate?

[Tempest]

10. The accuser claimed Jackson showed him a magazine BEFORE it came out

Under cross-examination from defense attorney Thomas Mesereau Jr., the brother also admitted Tuesday that he lied in a deposition given in a civil suit.

In a dramatic exchange, Mesereau told the jury that the magazine that the brother testified Jackson showed them at the singer's Neverland Ranch was dated August 2003 -- months after the boys stopped going to the Jackson estate.

11. 'Not Guilty' does not mean innocent. MOVE ON to new DSM memos!!!!!

A 47-year-old man should not have 12-year-old children in his bed and provide them with alcohol or porn. Not appropriate, even if that is all that happened.

Nor should a 50-year-old radio personality give his housekeeper fistfulls of cash to purchase illegal narcotics for him. Not appropriate, either.

'Not guilty' does not mean innocent.

Can we have the real news back yet?

Let's move on: 4 new memos predating DSM released by The Times of London yesterday. FOCUS! The media must not ignore this with Michael Mania.

We have work to do!
