Keep in mind that a jury verdict is black or white, there are no gray areas. Either the person is guilty or not guilty.

That doesn't mean that people can't have their own opinion. I'm certain that many innocent have been proven guilty and vice versa. What it boils down to today is whether one can employ the best attorney money can buy and since Jacko was filthy rich, he got the best and the verdict was not guilty.

That only means in the eyes of the law he is innocent. He has most likely found out what the "Big Guy" thought of his behavior by now.

Who am I to judge? But since we live in America I'm allowed to have my opinion.

As far as parading an 11 yo out on stage, that was extremely poor judgement, she has been traumatized once again by the glitter and stupidity of Hollywood, the family and the media. I don't see that it served any useful purpose for her to go through that experience. It was the family trying to convince the world MJ was a righteous person.

I feel badly for the (MJ's) children as they will be wealthy but screwed up the rest of their lives. I also would agree with you that she most likely loved her dad, the question in my mind was did her dad love her as your father most likely loved you?

Most normal people outgrow their childhood, take on responsibility for parenthood and get on with their lives, other make a choice to avoid reality. It has nothing to do w/ wealth or fame, only with facing responsibility and accepting what comes with parenthood.

Black or white, MJ to me is an example of what is wrong with society today, not what is best about society as his handlers would have you believe.
