Oh the mystery of "The King of Pop!" The verdict is in & will be revealed at 4PM. Don't you know that Michael is nerveous, because his life is hanging in the balance. I know that I'm nerveous and it has nothing to do with me, except I've admired his talents, just not his life-style. I started this thread, thinking that some would like to share their feelings here about it. Oh well, the world shall soon know. As Texan just shared, this could be Micheal final walk in freedom, as he walks into the courthouse holding him umbrella. One thing about it, there won't be an umbrella needed in prison...ouch.

Yea he is kinda obsessed, but the fact still remains that we cant judge him, what if we were to be accused of something like that, and you were declared innocent, would you want others judging you and calling you a sick child molester and such? Nobody knows what the truth is besides MJ and the boys. The verdict was not guilty, and we will just have to accept that verdict. I mean, its kinda disrespectful to call him names like that. He is a human with feelings like the rest of us, and i also respect everyone's opinions, and this is an issue that is gonna have a lot of them. Lol, this thread may never end!:)

The point is, he is an adult, and in everything he does he should use his own judgement. And children in their innocence don't know when an adult crosses the line. I don't know if he is child molester or not, but I think that is a different topic then wheter or not his music is good. What also doesn't matter is how much money he donates to charity. Some people that work in the business of charity, go out back to abuse the little choir boys as well.
The thing is, we will never know. Because we weren't there. However, I think I can be the judge in terms of stuff Michael said in an interview himself. Stuff that came out of his mouth. And personally, I find that already messed up all by itself, child mollester or not.
I admit, I have been to a Michael Jackson concert. I even was near the stage. But if Michael would have invited me to sleep in his bed....I would have gladly declined. Even though I was 14.

If it walks like a duck, and talks like a duck, its a duck. In other words, if someone molests a child, then thats what I call them...a child molester. Something is pretty fishy to me, when an adult shares a bed with a child (or children).
He may have been found not guilty, but when someone has alot of money, like him, they can usually get away with doing anything. Money has alot of power.
I also agree with Jstkdn..just because he donates to charity having to do with children, does not mean he is some decent human being.
I wasn't there, so no, I really dont know what went on, as noone does other than him and them children but judging from his enjoyment of having children in his bed....it doesn't look too innocent to me.
He said in one statement ,that if he couldn't have anything to do with children again, he would kill himself. I don't think its because he loves them so dearly, I think it is because he wouldnt be able to feed his sick infatuation with them.
He is a very talented musician...but, that is about all I have nice to say about him. :)

In America we're judged by our actions, whether in the world or in church. I know if someone sees their pastor enter the home of a single lady, the first thing thought is, "He's having an affair with her," when in fact, he was there praying for her recovery. However, he should have taken his wife along, or a witness to keep rumors from spreading about him. Another for instance, is if a pastor walks into a liguor store, we might think he's there buying booze, when in fact, he's getting a bunch of boxes to move. The same about Michael, because of his actions, and things he's said from his mouth, has made him appear to be what he's being accused of, "a child molester", when in fact, when in truth it's based on appearances. No, this isn't right son's of god. We're not to judge another for what we think they're doing. It's not fair, and it's wrong to judge. As an artist myself, I wouldn't want to be judged or accused of something I didn't do, just because I made a silly mistake. Now, if I continue doing things that are bizzare or out of the norm, then I'm asking for the judgment of others. As a christian I want to give him the benefit of the doubt, but yet, if he's guilty, I do want him brought to justice. As far as my saying he wasn't guilty before trial, I was only talking about this one case in particular, brought against him by this MOM, who has a history, and it's documented that she's a "grifter." As far as thinking he's not quilty of anything else, I kept thinking someone else might come forward to testify, but it never happened. Only time will tell. Yes, as an artist I admire his talents, but I don't like his style of music. Also, I was relieved that he wasn't guilty and cried tears, as I thought about "that could have been my son accused," then felt a deep sense of relief for the Mom, and Jackson family. I pray that Michael has learned from this & changes his ways.

i can't judge on these charges as i don't know the evidence BUT if i was to admit to sleeping in the same bed as a child, whether it was non-sexual or not, i would have been hounded out of town or at the least committed to an institution
also right on DaRu

Oh well, I wasn't going to add anything else..lol, but it's so true what you said, croesy. If this had been any other man, or unknown, he would have been at least charged with serving liquor to minors and received a verdict of guilty on the lesser charges. Regardless of this Mom's personailty or history. His behavior has been unacceptable. I'm shocked too Envy that he got away with it. As Makensie Robbin, jstkdn, Blaise, Texan, Iggyman, Makensie Brewer, Markie P., Sons of God, and myself, have expressed, that we don't know for sure whether he's guilty or not, I PRAY, DEAR LORD...he isn't guilty!, for all the little boys sake out there in the future. I love Michaels's soul and care about him as a person, but I just don't like his ways, and all we can all do is hope and pray that this has caused himself to take a long look at himself in the mirror and make changes sooner than ASAP.

To be honest, the verdict didn't surprised me since the case seems the proof couldn't survived any reasonable doubt, especially with the testimonies that kept changing and contradict. What I find strange is that the District Attorney in this trial was the very same involved in the 1993 trial where Michael Jackson came with an agreement with the plaintiff.
I absolutly don't know what happened in Neverland but I wish that nothing as horrendous as child molesting occured.
