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.

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.

Did anyone see the interview with Lisa Marie Presley, and then the next day they had an interview with Lisa Marie and Priscilla.

I was actually quite impressed by her humour, and intelligence. She was quite honest and candid in this interviews. About her marriage to Michael Jackson she said, she loved him. And she wasn't sure if he loved her, but he loved her as much as he was capable off. Quite a loaded statement. When Oprah asked her, "how are you looking back at that period right now." She simply answered "HOLY MOTHER OF GOD!" Anyway, the first child mollestation accusation happened, while she was married to him. To which she replied, she never saw any of that stuff. She was quite candid without providing too many details, that he was a total freak. And he also said he was a great manipulator, and he can actually draw anyone in, and he can be quite normal if it serves a purpose for him.

Priscilla, was a bit more direct as to what exactly her opinion of him was, and why. She downright said, he was fascinated with Elvis. Already to hook up with Lisa Marie when she was a teenager, but Priscilla blocked it. As she didn't trust him. Her suspicion was that he wanted have children with the daughter of the king of rock and roll. I don't know, but by seeing both interviews, I felt that same thing, before Priscilla even said it. But it is hard to get in to the head of Michael Jackson....thankfully.

The thing is, child mollestation is a game of seduction. Usually it is not from one day to the other suddenly doing the deed. It is a game of seducation lets do play some soccer, lets hold hands, can I put my arm on your shoulder now, will you take an alcoholic drink from me, sleep in my bed.

I do suspect there was some form of seduction going on. Though it remains unclear if actual intercourse was had. The thing is, intercourse, or stroking....is just as upsetting to a child. And both....are over the line.

i agree Jstkdn!
if he was in Britain he would most likely have been charged with "grooming" as well, something that would have been easier to prove and easier for the jury to believe
