What a coincidence, I just got the picture in an email tonight!

Just because he sought treatment does not necessarily mean it becomes public knowledge. But then the number of potential suitors would have been significantly reduced had he obtained treatment early on. Currently, if he does seek treatment - and he will have to anyway - then the whole world will surely know. No plaintiff will have to prove that point making him vunerable in civil court. Having not dealt with the problem, he is now in big time trouble. If the settlement for only one kid was only estminated at $25million - times how many kids all of whom now will be able to easily prove that they too were molested. I cannot think how this could be any worse for Jackson - because of denial for too long.

I am told that this is also having adverse affects on the rest of his family. So yes, how much worse could it get only because they all remained in denial for so long.

BTW, I do expect bankruptcy to be part of Jackson's future. His expenses were reported to be $1million per month. This accusation and trial will not cause any record sales increases nor permit a new album release. So where does that income come from? I see nothing but BAD (and not the album) for Jackson from this trial; even if they don't declare him guilty.

why would he go to the emergency room AT ALL? he's got a bazillion bucks, and germophobia if I recall correctly. The ER would be the LAST place he'd go. I'd think he'd have it brought to HIM. Or at least a team of overpaid Doctors. It's funny when lawyers think they're being clever when they lie. Like everyone is so stupid that we won't see through the ploy. puh leez.

Oh my goodness that pic is scary looking! lol!

Verdict is in less than 30 minutes...........

Happy Monkey · 06-13-2005, 04:19 PM

And there it is. Not guilty.

mrnoodle · 06-13-2005, 04:23 PM

Does anyone else find that....I dunno....jarring?

lookout123 · 06-13-2005, 04:25 PM

what do you expect? it is CA, after all. their is some precedence for having incompetent prosecution. OJ ring a bell?

glatt · 06-13-2005, 04:27 PM

What I would find jarring would be if anyone left their boys with this freak ever again.

I didn't follow this trial at all, so I don't know if the evidence was there or not for a conviction. I don't know if this is the right verdict or not, but in my gut, I think he is a pedophile.

OnyxCougar · 06-13-2005, 04:27 PM

It doesnt matter if he did or didn't do it, the prosecutors planted a reasonable doubt.

like i said, the bastards don't even know what their job is.

you might have meant the defense attorney. i might also be an annoying smartass.

Happy Monkey · 06-13-2005, 04:32 PM

All I know about the case is what was mentioned on the Don and Mike radio show, but I got the impression that the prosecution was fairly incompetent and also had several witnesses flip sides when they got on the stand.

you know what I meant, and you are a smartass. but i'll still respect you in the morning.

lookout123 · 06-13-2005, 04:37 PM

that is the same thing i heard. i thinkthat was pretty predictable. i kind of doubt that MJ is the only high $$ pedophile and nobody really wants that can of worms opened. there were too many somewhat famous connections in this case for anyone's comfort and i am willing to bet there were some stipends promised for cooperation.

but - if the prosecution can't get their crap straight then MJ deserves to get off

he also deserves to be drawn and quartered, but that is a different story.

This just affirms why I think everything about and everyone in California is stupid and why I will never, ever, ever set foot in that state.
