SO, have you read also what most Brits think. This part of the BBC normally reflects a pretty good pro-portion of what people think. I'm guessing perhaps the BBC reported more "facts" than their US news counter-parts.

Most Brits here think this was a farce too and from the facts they read, felt this was a trial by the media and MJ was innocent of the crimes but not of being wacko.

Back to the topic. I think there was more than enough doubt established to acquitt Jackson- the prosecution didn't really have a case, as it turns out. I believe Jackson tries to look and act like Peter Pan in his Neverland having sleepovers with lost boys- no doubt trying to have the normal childhood he never had. Eccentric, yes absolutely.. but child molestor? nahhh. He was far too open about his activities for one thing- IMO.... in all innocence.

"Eccentric, yes absolutely.." Crazy like a fox more like.
The consenus on this forum appears to be that the jury brought in the correct verdict for these particular charges, and I begrudgingly agree. However, any man who "sleeps" with little boys (notice the glaring absence of little girls) is definitely left of center. MJ needs psychiatric help, at the very least.

As for the sleepovers...Macauly Culkin said to Larry King- you have to remember Michael Jackson's bed is the size of a room, his bedroom is two storeys with 3 bathrooms ...and when he had sleepovers with MJ, Michael Jackson slept on the floor- camping out. The guy is just trying to recapture the childhood he never had. Its got to stop of course..at least the sleepovers have to stop. I hope he doesn't close the doors of Neverland to all after this - he's helped a lot of disadvantaged and ill children.

Whatever the parent's "m.o." was, I think they should be investigated. Wasn't there some deal with them and JC Penny's?? Didn't the parents so them too??

Re: Michael Jackson - Verdict
NBC must have a great sense of humour.
Our tv was advertizing Fear Factor, with people having to put awful things in their mouth whilst being blindfolded. Strangely enough they had wacko jacko instead on.
Who says the Yanks don't do irony ???
