24. Grace truly is having a public orgasm |
|
"We're at the end of miny, miny, miny days of jury watching". God, the accent alone is scary - it's m-a-n-y, nitwit - and she's just about to jump out of her chair.
I just have her on to see her crestfallen expression if they find him not guilty - she'll have a Wicked Witch of the East meltdown on-camera.

Now they are comparing this to Roman Polanski, wondering if MJ will flee to Europe if he is found guilty and gets bail.

33. He ain't getting bail if guilty of the child molestation. |
|
The judge will revoke that stuff immediately.

16. The jury usually tells the judge when it is hung, though. |
|
So it's know to be a hung jury before the official verdict reading.

23. I think he will get off too (love that pun) |
|
and I am thinking that is the fair decision. He is definitely guilty of being strange. But did he molest this kid? I don't think that was proven in court.

12. Hopefully he will be acquitted |
|
I don;'t know and quite frankly after two years of this crap, I don't care if he's guilty or innocent.
Anything other than acquittal means the crap continues.

20. If he is Guilty why would you want to see him "acquitted"??? |
|
I hate to say it but I believe that Jackson is a child molester and there is nothing that is worse that you can do to a child than to rob them of their innocence. If he is guilty I hope he is found guilty. Child molestation is a crime with a high recidivism rate, if he is guilty and allowed to go free he will molest again. I wouldn't dismiss his alleged crimes so glibly.

26. So you won't accept a not guilty verdict? He is screwed either way |

If he is found not guilty his name is mud anyhow. Very sad case all around.

29. if he is guilty, then the parents can go on trial |
|
for pimping their children. Grifters as victims, that's rich.If there is nothing else here there is reasonable doubt, but as the Mc martin preschool case teaches us, facts don't matter.

22. I think I understand your feeling, but |
|
the people who are milking the sensationalism of his case (in order to avoid discussing real news and issues facing the country) are going to get their big payoff either way the verdict comes out. Guilty, and they get to throw themselves a victory parade for having convicted him on-air a million times over before the jury could. Not-Guilty and they will throw themselves into televised conniptions of righteous indignation. They've got it tweaked to where they can't possibly lose, no matter what the jury says about the state's case. If he walks, the outrage will roar on for months and months.
The only way this really stops is if he is found guilty and goes to jail. Then they'll just find someone else, so it doesn't really stop even then.

31. If he's found guilty, the appeals process will last forever |
|
Jacksonm will die before he ever sees the inside of a prison. Even if he is guilty and convicted, he will never do time.
Acquittal means the pimps on the whore snews rant in righteous indignation while ratings tank and they are forced to move on to the next whorish endeavor.

34. He won't be free on appeal for this sort of charge. Massive flight risk |
|
Even if he appeals, he's going to jail if guilty.

13. Don't you think that Michael Jackson's alleged molestation pales |
|
in comparison to the Catholic Priests's well documented cases over many decades? But I forget.Jackson can't hide behind his religion.Besides he doesn't look like Jerry Falwell.

17. Media Circus...Step Right Up |
|
Letsee...CBS, NBC, ABC, Faux, MSGOP, CNNServative...all interupting programming. Why? A new terrorist attack? Osama's been captured? Nope...this is EVEN BIGGER.
The orgasmic frenzy is reaching OJ levels. Sheesh. One network showed the media tent with all these newsbabes all ready to do their live shots...ALL with that exclusive. Sheesh.
Now it's one hour of speculating...I'm surprised ESPN isn't running odds on their scroll. I can see people just dropping everything they're doing...soon the "King Of Pop" (who I thought was wierd in 1971) will meet his fate.
Of course, the corporate media's already convicted him. If the jury somehow doesn't come in with some guilty verdict, be prepared for hours of "where's the outrage" coverage. If not, then it's Nancy Grace's nostrils flaming that justice has been done!

18. Perhaps they will give a verdict that allows him to leave the US |
|
Edited on Mon Jun-13-05 02:52 PM by SoCalDem
and we can be done with him for good.:)
He can go hang out with Roman Polanski and make music in Europe, where they still like him..
He could team up with hasselhoff and have a whole new career.. Does Hasselhoff have any pre-pubescent sons?

27. Here in Naples meanwhile..... |

The head of the Chimora (the mob) is also awaiting his verdict. This is actually very important to the penisula, noting that he pretty much ran the city and it's surroundings.
The Jackson trial has NOTHING to do with our mainstream news, just a distraction.

She's rather insane in a shrill psychotic harpie kind of way, and the mutating nostrils only emphasize that quality.
