the mo beats experience Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 Okay, here's the first guys. In summing up, the judge said he had gotten off lightly, and would've got 20 years if he was black. Edit to say: Hmm, thread idea!??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amadeus Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 I think he did "something" - even a gold digger needs some kind of basis to work from.. Guess we'll never find out now... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> As above, this family is everything that is annoying about america, beautiful place, nice people but a few absolute fruitcakes, its the land of plenty, but people like this want money for nothing, same as the lawsuit culture. IMHO <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I see your point and agree to a certain extend, but even the most greedy fruitcake and his/her lawyer would need some kind of "case" before tackling someone like MJ - they have to expect a whole army of lawyers coming down on them, and I just think you wouldn't bother with that if you knew that you had nothing against him... edited for layout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he's too easy a target, he loves kids, and damn right he was going to help a dying kid enjoy what could have been the last of his days. And remember why this case came about, because the family tried to get money from him, he wouldn't so they went public with it to try and blackmail him, then the law decided it was time to nail him after the jody, rightly so, it had to go to court and he's been aquitted, thats what i'd expect if it were my child, not a handout, i'd want him strung up by the bollox. Not guilty. Seems obvious to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rog Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 Based solely on what I have read and learned from the Media and accepting that I did not have presented to me all of the evidence that was presented to the jury it is my opinion that he is guilty as hell.

Speckled Frost Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 What disturbs me is that, from the jury press conference (bizarre in itself), they seemed swayed by Arvizo's mum's appearance on the witness stand - but not by her evidence but by her demeanour and character.

Civil case to follow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Civil case to follow? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No. I didn’t see the ‘body language’, I didn’t hear the tone of voice used in asking and answering questions, I didn’t hear delays in answering questions, in short I missed a very great deal. Civil case as happened in the OJ case? I hope so. It's also interesting to now read remarks from jurors that 'they thought that Jacko was guilty of abusing boys in the past but not proved to be in this case'. Interesting.

Barby Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 you just got to wonder how many f5 keys are getting hammered around the world right now! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 5 windows open and hammering it <{POST_SNAPBACK}> the live feed is gone - I'm watching "Island news" - Boy hit by flowerpot <{POST_SNAPBACK}> LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matty Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 Maybe Saddam should get to stand trial in the same court as Jacko!!!! If so do you think he would get away with his "alleged" war crimes??? - Poll on this??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
