The llama's turned into a chimp

There's a theme with all the allegations though - they're all from people who want something, no-mark "celebs" or greedy parents. Like someone said on the previous page, what's never spoken about (and pretty much outright dismissed as irrelevant in terms of support for MJ) are things like Jordy Chandler's dad... Michael befriends the family, pays for holidays, shopping trips, brings them to awards etc... yet the second the dad wants him to pay for an extension on the house, or fund his screenplay (Robin Hood: Men In Tights) and Michael says no... oh look, court case.

And, for every book written with so-called evidence, there are books written that suggest nothing happened. So, where is the line drawn?

I just like to look at what's in front of us. What we know of the man (his upbringing, his naivety etc.), and what we know of the court cases and accusations (questionable motives from the accusers). It's fascinating that people only want to focus on the salacious side of the man, the things that "prove" his guilt, never at the obvious stuff that also points to the fact of a man getting taken advantage of... such as the Arvizo family. That little court case where he was found not guilty on all counts, and the mother was pretty much left ridiculed due to her ever changing tales.

Chandler scenario aside, that final case is what ruined the guy. A case that was built on a greedy person's lies, and the desire of a burned district attorney. So sad.[/QUOTE]

You may be right mate, but the indelible truth is that Michael Jackson will forever be tainted in people's memory by allegations of child abuse. Incidentally, these allegations seem to be being thrown around at liberty in this post-Savile world of ours.

Our Freddie died before all this crap started - he will forever be remembered as a god who walked on Earth.

^ That's a nifty move. I'll have to practice that.

Him and a ton of other people. It's a career killer, even if they're later proven innocent.

A week after MJ died, the father of the first boy with so-called molestation accusations committed suicide.

Guilty much?

The rest is history.

And the jokes seen in this thread and elsewhere are precisely why he's dead. We, the public, and our desire to eat celebrities alive, are ultimately what killed him.

Thank you. I tried to write this sentiment earlier on, but couldn't be bothered. People who will only have one blinkered view on a topic don't seem to realise that it actually says more about them than it does about the person they're criticising. It also goes unnoticed that those who 'defend' people like Michael Jackson aren't actually just simply being fan boys about it, they're just presenting another side to facts in a quite open way. "HE'S A RAPIST!", "Well, what about so-and-so demanding lots of money from him prior to the accusation?", "NAH, HE'S A PAEDO".

Brilliant, lolz.
