Lets be honest, the only people that know the real story at the moment are the jurors. We only get the snippets from the media and we all know how easy it can be for things to be taken out of context.

We watched a show on JonBenet Ramsey last night, the parents were persecuted by the media. They were called murderers when they had nothing to do with their daughters death.

When it comes to situations like this, we all pick a side and Michael Jackson has a strange reputation so it's easy to automatically think he did it.

My own feeling is that he did, but that could be because of the stuff I've seen on Court TV and they have certainly made it clear how they feel about it before the trial is even over. I’m not in the court room, I don’t have all the facts.

If he's found guilty, we'll all say "I knew he was weird."

If he's found not-guilty, we'll say this is another OJ trial. He got away with it.

Either way, Michael can't win, his reputation is gone. Personally, I think he'll be dead in a couple of years as he looks like he's about to collapse.

The guy is definitely a wacko, but unfortunatley he is not on trial for that. The fact is that the prosecution had enough evidence to try him for various crimes (kiddy fiddling being one of them) and now he is in court being tried for those crimes. If the jury had to find him guilty of being crazy and eccentric then they would have an easy day!

I wouldnt trust my dog in the care of anyone who is willing to hang someone on the word of a pathological liar.

But maintaining law and order is extremely important. If due process isnt carried out and everyone regardless of status, fame or whatever is given fair trial then dont expect it to be long before anarchy sets in and then no-one will protect you or your kids from whatever any dingbat wants to do to you or them. As soon as we descend into the emotional and sensationalist "Guilty by circumstance" approach of the witch hunts and inquisition then we are all screwed.
