Michael Jackson Trial Result

Ben E Lou · 05-25-2005, 09:50 PM

I haven't really paid much attention to the trial, but I did note that the defense rested today. With that, I figured a little poll and discussion might be in order. Whaddya think?"

SackAttack · 05-25-2005, 10:12 PM

How about "he's guilty of a phenomenal lack of judgement without a doubt, and may be guilty of child molestation"?

duckman · 05-25-2005, 10:15 PM

Neverland and Wal-Mart has one thing in common:

Boys' pants are always half off!

I KEEL ME!

ThunderingHERD · 05-25-2005, 10:17 PM

I kinda think he's innocent. Either way, the mother should be prosecuted for whoring her kids out all over the place.

Classic, Shorty.

Didn't anybody else start to wonder when his "Moonwalker" game had you rescuing a bunch of little boys?

BigJohn&TheLions · 05-26-2005, 04:11 AM

He'll probably walk, unless he asks to use the "little boy's room."

Joe Canadian · 05-26-2005, 09:37 AM

Other, explain.

It doesn't matter, but he should be found not guilty. If you can't tell I'm going to be a lawyer.

Although with the justice system doing amazing things recently, I wouldn't be suprised if he's found guilty... even though there is an incredible lack of evidence.

WSUCougar · 05-26-2005, 09:37 AM

What, no "It's a hard night for Bubbles" option?

Are you admitting that you played his Moonwalker game?

SANTA MARIA, California (CNN) -- Jurors in the Michael Jackson child molestation trial told the trial judge Monday that they have reached a verdict.

The announcement came after about 32 hours of deliberations.

Earlier Monday jurors requested the continuation of the reading of the teen accuser's lengthy testimony, sources close to the case said. The accuser was on the stand for four days in March.

Meanwhile, attorneys for media outlets, including CNN, filed another motion with the court Monday, demanding access to hearings where the court is answering jurors' questions and requests to listen to the reading of previous testimony.

"Barring the public from these final, pivotal stages of this case is, from a constitutional standpoint, simply intolerable," the media attorneys argued in their motion.

Santa Barbara County Superior Court Judge Rodney Melville has set a hearing for Thursday on a previous request to disclose jury questions and release transcripts of hearings.

Media attorneys have been pressing the judge to move up the hearing's date, arguing that their request will be moot if the jury reaches a verdict first.

Jackson's attorneys have filed a motion opposing the media's request, arguing that providing public access to the jury's questions, and hearings related to them, "would invade the confidentiality of the jury deliberation process and would threaten Mr. Jackson's right to a fair trial."

Sources said Melville and attorneys in the case have met at least three times as jurors deliberated.

The jurors adjourned Friday afternoon, ending six days of discussion on the 10 accusations against the pop star.

Spokeswoman dismissed

Jackson's Web site said Friday night that the singer had fired his spokeswoman, Raymone Bain, who has been with him throughout the trial.

"MJJ Productions regretfully announces the termination of Raymone Bain and Davis, Bain & Associates. We thank you for your services," said the complete text of the statement at www.mjjsource.com.

Lead defense attorney Thomas Mesereau Jr. visited Neverland ranch Wednesday after a flap arose over who should speak for Jackson.

Mesereau received court permission to release a statement saying that he had "not authorized anyone to speak or hold press conferences on behalf of Michael Jackson or his family."

Jackson and his family posted a similar statement on his Web site.

Jackson fans and supporters have joined the media from around the world outside the Santa Maria courthouse each day for news of a verdict.

Jackson, who is not required to be on hand for deliberations, has been awaiting the jury's decision at Neverland with his family.

The 46-year-old pop star is facing judgment on 10 counts, stemming from events that allegedly took place with a 13-year-old boy two years ago: four counts of lewd conduct with a child younger than 14; one count of attempted lewd conduct; four counts of administering alcohol to facilitate child molestation; and one count of conspiracy to commit child abduction, false imprisonment or extortion.

Jackson has denied the charges and pleaded not guilty.

Actually on this one, yes. But I followed the NBA during the OJ chase and couldn't believe the NBA finals were getting small screen coverage while some washed up football player/actor's car being parked outside his house was getting the full screen.

Arviso family is in the Witness Protection program. Interesting.

Senator · 06-13-2005, 03:45 PM

If loving too much is a crime, then MJ is guilty.

If the kid cannot Moonwalk, you must aquit.

CHEMICAL SOLDIER · 06-13-2005, 03:47 PM

Anyone know or hear of what type of security they have within 5 minutes of the courthouse. There are alot of weirdo's out there on both sides that could start crap up.

this should make any kid who was sexually assaulted by a superstar really want to seek legal action.

DaddyTorgo · 06-13-2005, 04:18 PM

i think the jurors should all be forced to let their kids sleepover there for a month. see how they'd vote then

Ksyrup · 06-13-2005, 04:18 PM

Like OJ, he's been sentenced to life as himself. That's a kind of punishment.

JonInMiddleGA · 06-13-2005, 04:19 PM

Cause when you're a Celebrity
It's adios reality
You' can act just like fool
People think you're cool
Just cause you're on TV.
I can throw major fits
When my latte isn't just how I like it
They say I've gone insane,
I'll blame it on the fame,
And the pressures that goe with
Being a celebrity.

I get to cry to Barbara Walters,
When things don't go my way.
I'll get community service
No matter which law I break.

I'll make the supermarket tabloids,
They'll write some awful stuff
But the more they run my name down,
THE MORE MY PRICE GOES UP!

Galaxy · 06-13-2005, 04:19 PM

Southern California should be banish from the US.
