I don't like Micahel Jackson but I do believe he is being unfairly smeared

[hector459]

in the media. I thought grand jury testimony was secret? The media has already declared him guilty but if you read the testimony of the children involved in this case, it is obvious to me that they have been carefully scripted and I believe they are fabricating most, if not all of their testimony. Their mother has already been shown to carefully script them. I am sorry, Michael may have been guilty or not of some other charges but this case is a shafting. Just my opinion.

1. Why does it have to be so public? Why can't justice be done, but quietly.

[Bunny]

2. We have open courts for a reason.

Otherwise, how will we know that justice has been done?

[bobweaver]

4. Sure, if I was interested in the case I should be allowed to know, but why

...does the case have to be shoved down my throat every time I turn on the TV news? Oops, sorry for that unfortunate wording.

[Bunny]

23. Well, the media saturation is certainly unnecessary.

Point taken!

[Karenina]

6. He is NOT

being "smeared." He, like your *pretzeldent, needs to be held accountable. The shit been goin' on for DECADES. It's enough.

FULL STOP.


Only question is, WHO is gonna call it?

[imenja]

3. disagree

If he weren't an extremely wealthy celebrity, he's already been doing time for child molestation. I agree the media coverage is ridiculous, especially when we have wars and a potential economic meltdown to consider.

[seabeyond]

5. i think everything about him shows he molests young boys

i dont watch it on tv. no way i would let media use my viewership for the pathetic representation of news. refuse to watch all these. didnt watch scott.

i dont know anything about the evidence either, wink

[DrWeird]

7. "He looks like a child molestor."

Sounds kind of like "he looks like he has AIDS."

There's a reason we have trials by jury.

[seabeyond]

12. i didnt say look, you said look

i said everything about him shows child molestation. i am talking the toys to entice, the alchol he uses, the relationships he has with kids. i am adult, i have kids, i see what is appropriate in interaction between adult and children. and as a parent, there is a feel,.........believe it or not there is. and senses tell me. i would protect my child around michael. i wouldnt let my child alone with michael. the not taking charges seriously. the no shame. the preformance outside of the court. just so much, i could go on and on

now, you can reduce my statement to saying he "looks" like

but then that is just you having a conversation with yourself and has little to do with what i said

[Az]

13. Um, run that by me again

You don't watch him on TV but everything you see about him says child molestor? Are you tuning him in on a psychic broadcast or something? Do you tour with him? If you are not getting your info about him from the TV then just where are you getting it from?

You do know that most molestors look just like you and me. They don't have a uniform.

[seabeyond]

15. i have read information on jackson

i am old. i have followed his career. there is plenty of info. but playing in this minute by minute televised court hearing and all preforming and the news people being retarded. i didnt follow the scott peterson case either on tv. doesnt mean i didnt know what was going on.

on that one, could have, maybe not.........and they put him to death, wow. we have more on election fraud than they did on him, and he got death.

bryant, didnt watch the case, but i knew the case

[Az]

22. Incidently, this is what a molestor/rapist looks like

[seabeyond]

16. i "think" = opinion and opinion only n/t

[CourtJstc]

8. IMHO, I think Michael Jackson

is getting just what he deserves!!!

[napi21]

9. Michael is a public figure! That's a price you pay for fame!

As to him being delared guilty, they did the same thing with OJ, and look where that went.

I don't know if Jackson is guilty or not, but something is very wrong with his lifestyle. If this were the first accusation, I'd be the first to think mommy was looking for MONEY! But it's not the first, or the second......

I'm willing to wait and see the evidence presented at trial, but in my gut, I feel Michael is either guilty, or very very stupid. Everyone has to realize that truth is almost always what is perceived to be true, not necessarily what is true. I've known that in my life, why didn't he?

[Cherie59]

10. Unfairly smeared????

The guy is a pervert. He has bought and lied his
way out of situations he should have gone to prison
for a long time ago. He is a pedophile plain and simple.
He is NOT the victim like he wants everyone to believe.
The children are.

[Az]

14. Maybe

USA... Innocent until proven guilty... all are equal before justice.... remember these things?

Trial by media is a travesty. They are going to posture and smear and there are no repurcusions. Lets see what the trial turns up and then we can judge.

[Cherie59]

18. It is my opinion and that is the way I feel

He admitted he allowed little
boys to sleep with him.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist
to figure it out.
He has surrounded him with children
all of his adult life. If you have
ever read up on child molestors
he fits the classic signs. Didn't say
I was judge or jury, just telling how
I feel.

[wuushew]

19. Do you have first hand knowledge of MJ's pedophillia?

Making such claims without evidence is libel.

[Anakin Skywalker]

11. Micahel? MJ is the Latest to Join Kabala?

Just teasing. :)

[imenja]

20. Nation of Islam folks might not go for that

It might be tough to reconcile the two.

[noamnety]

17. Thank God for the meda circus

If it weren't for that, we'd have to hear about Iraq, now that the Peterson trial is over. Why should I waste my beautiful mind on that? Poor poor Laci. That Scott was handsome though.

21. No duh! Persecuting wealthy african-american men keeps the GOP base happy.

[Siyahamba]

26. Michael Jackson performed at Clinton's inauguration...

As well as at a Democratic Party Get Out The Vote rally in Harlem in 2000. Methinks this could be payback.

[sweetheart]

24. I don't care

Perhaps he's brought it on himself, whether he's guilty or not,
certainly he's be indiscreet with his behaviour and how could
that not provoke the reich wing in to attacking him. Frankly,
i think he should have shifted to another period in his life
and relocted to france or switzerland, perhaps using that time
to grow up and get away from his detractors in california.

25. Here's recent testimony

The accuser, 14 at the time he testified, spoke:

"We were laying on the bed and he told me that men have to masturbate … he told me that he wanted to teach me … so we were laying in the bed, and then he started rubbing me … he put his hand down my pants and he started rubbing me … my private area … he was masturbating me."

The prosecutor asked him, "Did you look over to see his eyes at any time?" The boy answered, "Yes."

"What did you see?" the prosecutor continued. "His eyes were like squinching really tight," the boy said.

Testimony is evidence.

[MercutioATC]

27. My opinion only. He's a pedophile. He deserves a horrid death.

Hey, the repeated accusations over the past fifteen years could have ALL been fabricated.

I'm assuming they're not.

I'm assuming he's a pedophile.

I'm assuming somebody's going to LOVE him in prison (repeatedly).


Sorry, I just have no tolerance for pedophiles.
