Crap Throwing Monkey Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 You think the jurors didn't already know Jacko is wacko? 321735[/snapback] Doesn't matter. He's not on trial for being whacked in the head. That's why this stands a good chance of, if he's found guilty, being overturned on appeal. FAR too many prosecution witnesses testified to his being whacked in the head, and not the crime. The defense has a very solid case for appeal on the grounds that the prosecution unfairly prejudiced the jury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 This is on a separate tangent, but I somehow happened to listen to the Thriller album a week or so ago and it reminded me what a damn shame Michael Jackson's become. I mean really. You listen to his albums in the early 80s and they still hold up today; they're phenomenal. But now, he's nothing more than a disfigured pervert. Imagine what his reputation would've been had he been hit by a bus in 1989... 321015[/snapback] I agree with this post. Off the Wall is another great album. I am not a big fan of the man but he is/was extremely talented. It blows my mind that Dre or others have not looped the opening of Billy Jean. Mark my words, someone will and that will be a huge, gigantic hit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 oh yeah- my thoughts on the trial.....American media sucks! Why do we focus on Michael Jacksons, Scott Petersons, Maurice Claretts? There is such bigger news on the planet! As far as whacko- I feel the parents of the accuser should be charged. Jacko is an easy mark and those scumbag parents put their own children at risk so they can make some $. Makes me sick! There is not enough evidence and it has become a witchhunt. No doubt Michael is sick but thats not what the charge is. It will be damn near impossible for MJ to have a fair trial Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The prime example being the mother who initially refused to let her son sleep in the same bed as Jacko but then changed her mind when he started crying?!

Lots of people think that, including the majority of criminal attorney's I've talked to about it (my sister, a very good defense attorney, basically told me that if they charged the mother with endangering the welfare of a child, she couldn't successfully defend her.)

Golden Wheels Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 I seriously think he is going to be found innocent of the charges because the prosecution witnesses, esp. the mother, are not reliable. However, his defense cost him millions and his reputation is destroyed. I predict Jacko spends the rest of his days as a pill popping recluse in some other country where he gets a tax dodge and child prostitution is not uncommon.
