LOL. Yeah if you listen to any number of after-verdict interviews with the jurors you will quickly realize that many felt very put-off by Jackson's behavior, and went so far as to say that his behavior needed to change and was inapropriate... BUT they couldn't see a clear line of evil behavior that could be proven "beyond a reasonable doubt". Therefore they acquitted him, even though personally they felt that we was "not innocent".

Like OJ, most folks know Jackson isn't completely "innocent", even if he was found "not guilty".

I would never let my kids stay with him. This cloud seems to be stuck to him, and after a while one has to think "where's there's smoke, there's fire".

Why the hell you accept a settlement if some1 molested your kid???

If he indeed molested that kid back in 1993 he would be in JAIL but they took a settlement...what does that tell you?

It tells me that they didn't really care about justice or that they didn't think they had any evidence that could prove he was guilty...

Thank God he is guilty though - I for one don't like the idea that he has been abusing parents trust and sleeping with children.

It seems like a lot of people here wish that had been the case??!

Fans and loyal subjects identify with an idealised abstract of their beloved and refuse to believe anything which might tarnish their shiny picture.

Our stupid cult of celebrity is at fault, both for creating the monster, and for blinding us to behaviour which would be so obviously sick if it were being displayed by the ordinary man next door.

that speaks volumes, well- stated (Y)

They did have evidence, but the jury did not think it was legit. I am astonished at the fact you say he is guilty. The jury found him not guilty on all 10 charges, and he is innocent UNTIL proving guilty.

It must feel good to post that you think he is guilty while sitting in front of your computer, obviously ignoring the fact that these people on the jury were IN THE COURT ROOM listening to the actual case as it happened. Whoever doubts the jury obviously has something against Michael, be it either a dislike for his music or maybe you just think he looks odd. Yeah, that's nice, but keep in mind this jury knows their stuff. They wouldn't have deemed him innocent if they didn't think it was right, especially not on all ten charges. It's not hard to see that these kids, or rather the parents of these kids, are just out to get his money. Welcome to sue-happy America.

I find it intriguing how some people can be so certain that Michael Jackson is guilty, even after he was proven not guilty by jury who were presented with every possible evidence and proof existing from both side and had chance to carefully go over those evidences.

Are there any reason behind claiming he is guilty other than that he looks and acts a bit weird?

While I'm surprised that he's free of all charges (I thought at least one or two would get him), the fact is that the decision was made by people who obviously know a lot more details about this case than I do, and that I should respect it.

I just hope that Tom Sneddon guy will finally retire and stop trying to hunt down someone whom he barely knows, unless he actually finds some convincing evidence against Michael Jackson.

All the outcome means is that there was not enough evidence to prove that jackson did these things.

It does not mean that he did not do them, only 2 people know that.

I am not saying whether he did or did not. I am just pointing out that we will never know for sure what he did/didn't do. The best we can do is rely upon the word of the jurors (who in my opinion were not 100% reliable - from post verdict interviews).

Exactly,

Many people are actually upset because they beleive that the prosectution was too hasty and didn't assemble "Beyond a reasonable doubt" evidence. I 100% agree with them as well. Considering the mother's reputation and his previous testimonies, all of it was a hodgepodge of slightly (yet doubtful) allegations.

Now if Michael was guilty (Although I think he's innocent). He is incapable of being tried a second time.

Sorry if this was repeated but i just have the sort of time to rummage through 12 pages of an assortment of opinions and actual facts... :/

I do feel that the jury rushed, and by their own admissions let personal feeling come into it.

586067599[/snapback]

Well, if they could add there personal feelings in they would. They were given a like 90 something page of instructions all of which I believe had to be signed by all, and if you do add personal feelings in the verdict the judge would have cought it and would have had a mistrial. I beleive they deliberated, what 38 hours I believe? Thatsa hella long time if you ask me.

Unbelievable if it was anyone else they would have been found guilty  :no:

586059614[/snapback]

If it was anyone else this case would never have made it to court to begin with. The entire case stinks and should never have been allowed to go this far. What a waste of public money and time for one man's vendetta.
sleeping with young boys isnt illegal ??:xx? sorry but your legal system is f**ked up

- watching fox news at the moment

And what country did you say you are from? Because, I am sure there is no country where just sleeping with young boys is illegal. Because if it were, then there must be billions of parents, siblings, aunts and uncles that need to be locked up too.

There were some jurors that in fact thought he was guilty but they did not believe the mother which raised reasonable doubt in the merits of the case. They had said if it wasnt for the mother they may have chosen guilty.

    • For a guy who claims to hate Farage and the ignorant, gullible, rightwing racist skinheads sponsored by Putin that his lies represent, you sure are quoting them time and time and time again, mate. I guess you're conveniently ignoring the fact that your country and commonwealth just happened to work much better when it was still part of the E.U.? Denial isn't just a river in Egypt.
    • Do you live in the U.K? Do any of the people here that are against the UK leaving the E.U, live in the U.K? If not then why are you bothered? If you do live here then it is a different thing . Brexit was a good idea, should have done it years before, it was done badly, but the idea was good. You are saying the same thing as remainers do, oh we did what Putin wanted, we listened to the lies and Farage. I hate Farage and never believed most of what he said, certainly did not believe the £350m a week for the NHS. But we did pay a lot of money to the E.U and yes some of it came back, but what is the point of paying it out for only some of it to come back? Get out of the E.U, no money to them and in theory we can use the money to do things in the country. I said in theory, but our governments are a total and complete waste of space. No matter what colour rosette they wear. You and others say it was a mistake and yet the two main parties in the U.K are not looking at rejoining the EU, I wonder why that is? I was not tricked by anyone. Makes no odds now, we are out and have been for 10 years, what we need is a decent government to run the country. All they do is shout at each other like a load of kids and seems to do nothing and make this country more into a police and nanny state. Getting more like China all the time.

    • Yeah... The root of my comment, ostensibly, is how to spin the story via the actual technical merits of the solution! * Decentralized (aka federated) solution with built-in encrypted ephemeral message transport, * Transport via Relays (intermediary servers) with no message archival, * Second configurable pathway are actual email servers (if DNS records are programmed accordingly) via IMAP protocols carriage, * "Chat-over-Email" is the design pattern adopted; it can either leverage full-blown Email Server (must use the INBOX folder) to exchange all received messages/edits/reactions (so be weary of notifications overloads) [best practice is creating a separate email acct used explicitly for federated chat purposes!] or leverage its built-in Relay Server mechanism which actually resides on-device (by default but can be configured otherwise), * By virtue of be a decentralized/federated model, all other intermediary servers who may pass-along messages (while the recipient's final relay/device is inaccessible) cannot snoop on the messages due to the encrypted nature of contents. The intermediaries may, however, analyze the metadata due to the simple fact that routing mechanisms require hints for relay destinations. Unfortunately, whomever is posting about DeltaChat across socials are misleading with "zero metadata" claims -- especially when the Relays (according to their own technical documents) mandate the addition of chat-version metadata and other decorations in order to actually transport any message. -- Based on this summary, I'd prefer if they'd better dual-path message transport (email server add-in, federated relay engine) rather than patch-on email protocols to existing federated social media frameworks. They're frankensteining something rather than extending widely-deployed technology stacks.
