But, given the track record of the L.A prosecutors taking on celebrities, it was no wonder the verdict came out the way it did. Remember O.J. 'Slasher' Simpson, the venerable Menendez brothers and lately Robert Blake?
One wonders whether it's the prosecutors office or the people in L.A. themselves. We know they hold their celebrities to different, looser and more forgiving standards in their life and lifestyle; perhaps they also are allowed a different standard under the law as a well.
But being acquitted of the charges, does not mean that Wacko did not do it. It just means that it was not proven beyond a reasonable doubt to a pool of Los Angeles jurors who weren't smart enough or privileged enough to get out of jury duty.
To quote Juror No. 1:
"I feel that Michael Jackson probably has molested boys. I cannot believe that, after some of the testimony that was offered, I can't believe that this man could sleep in the same bedroom for 365 straight days and not do something more than watch television and eat popcorn. That doesn't make sense to me. But that doesn't make him guilty of the charges that were presented in this case, and that's where we had to make our decision."
Given that, can you explain why anyone would ever let their children within 20 miles of Neverland or of Jackson? Certainly there are better, safer amusement parks. In Bagdhad, perhaps?
My greatest amazement in the case, however, is reserved for the scores of Wacko onlookers outside the courtroom holding their pathetic vigil. They absolutely knew Jacko was innocent because .... well because ... well ... because we think he's a great entertainer. Makes perfect sense to me.
And so it goes.
