Michael Jackson is not in prison but he will never be free.

[boohootwo]

Hopefully, somewhere in that twisted mind is a conscious.

[wuushew]

1. Just as all those found innocent in the criminal justice system?

I fail to understand your point unless you are insinuating guilt.

[mondo joe]

16. He was not found "innocent".

"Not Guilty" does not mean "Innocent".

[Ravy]

24. Which makes him considered innocent.

Until PROVEN guilty, of course.

[boohootwo]

27. Unproven guilt - that's what it is in this case.

[Ravy]

33. I am sure there will be a civil case. We can go through this again (n/t)

[CatWoman]

2. seems neither will DU

:eyes:

Why don't we change the name to "Michael Jackson Underground"

[MzShellG]

4. You stole my thought...lol

Those kittens are so cute....I never noticed them winking before.

[CatWoman]

5. the magic of Mo Paul

:hi:

when he's not posting "Lynch Michael Jackson" threads :D

[Avalux]

3. I'll bet he sells Neverland and leaves the country

Then he'll be free to continue in the lifestyle he's accustomed. Too much baggage here.

[whatgives]

12. I thought he had already sold it

and was planning to live abroad.:shrug:

[boohootwo]

29. Whatever - just leave the kids alone.

[buff2]

6. Aw,Gee.......

another disappointed non fan. I LOVED IT! NOT GUILTY....that's one family that won't become instant millionaires off of Michael's money! LOL! :rofl: :bounce: :bounce: :party: :beer: :party: :toast: :bounce: :party: :applause: :woohoo: :thumbsup: :toast: :party:

[boohootwo]

15. And if he's really molested children?

Which I beleive he has. And you support that?

[Ariana Celeste]

34. Nobody here supports molestation!!

Christ Almighty. Some people trust the Jury and the court of law! Some people believe he was innocent. Some people believe the evidence that the accuser's mother was hitting other celebs up for money and exploiting her childs illness for quick cash.

Believe the tabloids, but try not to insult other DU'ers. Absolutely no one is supporting molestation. And if someone was, the mods would take care of it.

[SammyWinstonJack]

7. If he's smart

He'll blow this pop stand of a Country! I wouldn't hang around here if I were him. The twisted mind belongs to those who sought to con him and smear his character. Michael Jackson is a bit on the strange side, but I don't think he is a sexual predator. I am happy he was acquitted.

[donheld]

8. Michael Jackson has never been free

Not since he was about 5 years old. He's been a virtual prisoner his entire life.

[IndyOp]

9. This is what I keep thinking about -- the allegations that his father

abused him. The possibility that what his father did to him, he did to another.

I hope and pray that MJ wasn't 'let off the hook' because he could pay for the best defense; and that if anything ever happened with that kid or any other kid that MJ gets help so that it never happens again.

If he is innocent then I hope and pray that he finds peace.

[bullimiami]

10. donheld, my first thought. He is not free and will not be.

His life is a freak show I wouldnt wish on anyone.

I dont know if he was guilty or not but the 12 people that sat and listened and decided this were not convinced. I accept that. The case was not made or not made well enough.

[mopaul]

18. boo hoo, michael is a prisoner and a victim, listen to yourself

he's the king of the goddamned world for christ's sake.

[boohootwo]

22. I believe he is a child molester and should be punished.

I don't care what made him that way. He needs to pay for what he's done and the people who try to shield him from that responsiblity are just as guilty IMHO.

[Media_Lies_Daily]

30. Where were you when law enforcement couldn't build a case good.....

...enough to convict Jackson on even ONE out of ten counts? You evidently have lots of additional evidence that the police and the prosecutor could have used to convict Jackson and send him away for a long time. You should be ashamed for having withheld all of that evidence.

Oh, you don't personally have any evidence? You say you were relying on the mainstream media to provide factual information about the evidence?

Oh.

Hmmmm.

[drdon326]

32. You buy that rap?

exactly when does he outgrow that bullshit?

[MoonRiver]

11. Wait! How dare you disparage the darling of DU?

You politically incorrect infidel! :sarcasm:

[linazelle]

13. SO WHaaaat.

<They don't have a symbol for holding my hand behind my ears and making a splattering sound while sticking out my tongue but if they did, it would be here.>

[no_hypocrisy]

14. "Not guilty" is not synonymous with "innocent". Merely means not enough

to convict. One reasonable doubt is all it takes. Not two.

Jackson now joins other celebrity acquittals with careers in shambles after their trials: Fatty Arbuckle (rape), OJ Simpson (double murder).

[boohootwo]

17. Agreed. The verdict doesn't help him.

I'll bet we see this saga again.

[mopaul]

19. not only will he repeat offend, he'll FLAUNT it, just like in the 93 case

soon he'll surround himself with boys again, despite his family's and advisor's repeated warnings.

[boohootwo]

20. We had similiar case in a nearby neighborhood.

What came to light was that for years the father of one of the neighborhood girls was molesting his daughters friends and threatening them if they told. We suspect that 28 girls were involved although only 14 came forward. The father pled guilty and was placed on probation for 3 years. No prison time at all.

How could any caring & responsible adult support anyone with ethics as questionable as those of Michael Jackson? That's more disturbing than the verdict to me.

[mondo joe]

21. But this time even poorer kids in other countries.

Can't risk lawsuits again!

[alcibiades_mystery]

23. And maybe even a "conscience"

:eyes:

[boohootwo]

25. Thanks for the spelling correction. My bad.

[Media_Lies_Daily]

26. One must also hope that people can learn to accept the time-honored....

...concept of innocent until proven guilty.

Additionally, if a person is found innocent by a court of law, that doesn't mean that he or she is guilty anyway.

IMHO, some people have gone too far in thinking that anyone charged with a crime is automatically guilty. For that I blame the mainstream media and those that have slowly been brainwashed by the likes of Nancy Grace.

[Divameow77]

28. He was found not guilty

and until proven otherwise I will assume he his. Just because someone is weird doesn't make him a child molester. I'll bet there are some weirdo's on this board, what does that make them?
I just hope he learns his lesson and stops surrounding himself with underage boys. I also hope that parents are especially cautious about leaving their children alone with a grown man they really don't know, whether it's Michael Jackson or someone else.

[boohootwo]

31. And justice was blind, IMHO.

[CatWoman]

35. so fucking change the law

ENOUGH OF THIS SHIT ALREADY!!!

:nuke:

[boohootwo]

37. No one made you read this thread or make your nasty comment

Most Americans believe Jackson to be guilty. It's just that another starstruck jury let him off. It'll happen again. Meanwhile I'll just do whatever I can to defame him.

[Piperay]

36. I agree

completely.
