There is not case here. As much as it pains me to say this. Michael Jackson is innocent. Freak, yes. Molester, No (at least not in this case)For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay.

I think he's innocent in this case. And I hope I am not wrong.
I also hope He learns and stops sleeping with children in one bed. Not only is it strange by itself, but taking into account his current look, it can give them nightmares. Not that I do not feel sorry for his looks."I realise I hold the key to freedom,

Here's some evidence, Giancarlo:
Oct. 11, 2004 — Michael Jackson's defense team has said the mother of his alleged child molestation victim has made false claims and told the judge that she once accused her ex-husband of crimes that parallel some of the charges "The King of Pop" faces. ABC News has exclusively obtained police reports in which the alleged victim's mother details those accusations against her husband.
Jackson, 46, is accused of molesting a now-14-year-old boy who spent time at his Neverland ranch and is believed to be a cancer survivor who appeared last year in the British documentary Living With Michael Jackson. He has pleaded not guilty to 10 charges that include felony conspiracy with 28 overt acts involving child abduction, false imprisonment, and extortion. The conspiracy charge against Jackson refers to his alleged attempts through associates to quiet the alleged victim and his family.
The father of Jackson's alleged victim pleaded no contest to spousal abuse in 2001 and child cruelty in 2002 and has been barred from seeing his children. He and the alleged victim's mother have continued to battle over the issue as he lost a bid earlier this year to regain child visitation rights. In a police report filed in 2001 during their bitter divorce, the alleged victim's mother accused her husband of child molestation, telling police she saw him touch their daughter inappropriately when she was 3 or 4 years old.
In the same report, the daughter also accused the father of false imprisonment for allegedly locking her "inside his vehicle against her will." One report alleged that the father told his daughter that if she yelled he would kill Jackson's alleged victim (her brother) and the whole family. In the Jackson case, the alleged victim's younger brother has said one of Jackson's associates allegedly threatened to kill him and his family if he told anyone about the singer serving him and his siblings alcohol.
Irrelevant or Key Credibility Issue?
The father of Jackson's alleged victim was never convicted of the allegations made in the police report. His lawyer said the mother has fabricated the accusations.
JACKSON JURY CAN HEAR ABOUT ACCUSER'S MOTHER'S ALLEGATION OF IMPROPER TOUCHING
Feb 25, 2005
SANTA MARIA, Calif. (AP) -- A victory of sorts for Michael Jackson's defense team.
The judge at his child molestation trial has ruled that evidence can be introduced about the accuser's mother's claim that she had been improperly touched by security guards at a local store.
The family of the 13-year-old accuser claimed in a lawsuit that they were beaten by guards and held against their will, and that the mother was groped, after Jackson's accuser left the store without paying for some clothing.
Superior Court Judge Rodney Melville said he will allow testimony as it pertains to the mother's credibility. But he won't allow the defense to refer to Jackson's accuser as a shoplifter.
Opening statements in Jackson's trial are scheduled on Monday.

That last one netted them $152,000 in a settlement.

Talk about self referential.....“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles. If you see through everything, then everything is transparent. But a wholly transparent world is an invisible world. To 'see through' all things is the same as not to see.”

Mad Monk, there is no way in hell this guy is innocent.For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)

There is too much evidence showing Michael Jackson committed wrong doings. I just can't see any other way around it. I personally hope Jackson gets convicted and faces the maximum penalty. He may not get convicted on all ten counts, but he will get at least convicted on a few of them.For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night.

Well who knows yet. Let us allow the US judicial system give a fair trial despite being in the glare of the media spotlight and reaching the only true and fair verdict...

Well we all know that the lights are on but no one's there but that is still a far cry from him being a nonce. Alas I doubt that the trial is going to be fair, hence my sarcastic remark.Speaking of Erith:
