I think he is guilty but he doesn't realise it. he just touches kids and doesn't think anything of it.
I thought the same thing. Jackson just doesn't know that his activity isn't right, it is a crime.
In my opinion he shouldn't be sent to prison, but in a mental hospital.
Don't misunderstand me! I like Michael, at the first point for his music, but I think he's ill.

I think he deserves prison.
I'd wager a not guilty on it.
I think Michael Jackson knows exactly what he is doing. For years he has painted this picture of himself as a childlike Peter Pan, a total innocent never wanting to grow up. Well now we know that his "Neverland" is full of pornography (including naked young men) and alcohol, neither of which are illegal, but it sure shoots the innocent waif picture to hell. I think he has conned us all. He claims to love all children, yet you never hear of girls staying in his room at Neverland, only young boys. You can love children without having 13 year old boys sleep in your bed everynight. I certainly feel he is guilty of some inappropriate behavior, and though he might be found guilty on some of the charges (such as serving alcohol to children) I doubt he'll do time.
I'll give it the benefit of the doubt. If the jury finds that there's not a definite proof that he has molested children, he shouldn't be named guilty.
I however think that he shouldn't be allowed to bring children to have sleepovers on his 'Neverland Ranch', and should be forced to receive psychiatrict counseling. When you're 45 and you act like a 7 year old, you're definitely mentally insane.

I don't think this is going to be another OJ-like many other people do. I say this because Michael Jackson IS weird, and the jury will probably hold that against him. Even my mother-a lifelong Michael Jackson fan, says he is weird.
IF he is guilty (haven't made up my mind if I think he is or not) I think it is partly psycological, usaully I say paedophillia is a preference, not an illness, as certain people believe. However, I think in HIS case, he does need help.
If he is innocent, then I am gonna feel bad for him, because he will no longer be known as 'Michael Jackson, the guy who sold 50 million copies of Thriller, the guy who took the music video to the next level, the guy who influenced all the pieces of shit in the hip hop world today', he'll be 'Michael Jackson, the guy who touches children'.

Totally agree.
Long before becoming a Queen fan I was a devoted Michael Jackson fan. I still remember being 4 years old and watching all those videos from 'Thriller' on TV. I'd record them on a Betamax and then watch them an endless number of times with my friends while we tried to immitate all his dance moves including the 'Moonwalk'.
It's sad that the same guy who back in the early 80s was undoubtely 'The King Of Pop' and loved by just about everyone, is now extremely despised and turned himself into some kind of freak monster.
If Michael Jackson is truly guilty, then let's hope JUSTICE is done and let him face the consecuences. ...and if not, then the guy needs to have his freakin' head checked.

Michael Jackson shows that you cannot establish healthy relationships when you come from an abusive family. I don't know American laws but when he was in Germany a while ago people could not believe that he is allowed to treat his children that way and to isolate them from normal people. Apparently, nobody knows where his youngest child comes from, that's incredible,
The whole trial showed that money rules over dignity and greed is the worst enemy of human decency. How can parents leave their kids in the care of such an obviously disturbed man without asking questions? how can the mother of the Jackson kids give up her rights for money?
I don't think he is guilty as charged but a lot of abuse happened in this family without anybody caring and the children are the victims in any case just as Michael Jackson himself was already a victim as a child.

To be quite honest, I couldn't care less. I think this ought to be treated the same as any other case of child molestation: the whole county is talking about it, but outside the county you hardly hear anything, and no one outside the state knows of it.
I beg to differ.

I totally agree with you.
Also, one thing that I've always questioned... If Michael Jackson claims to care so much about children, how come he's spending so much money on all this luxury shit for his 'Neverland Ranch' while millions of poor children around the world are starving to death?

Both YV & Jingles..hats off to both of you.
And agreed, with his millions, he could help starving, dying children in 3rd world & war torn nations. Why doesn't he spend his time and money more effectively and with PURPOSE, instead of indulging HIMSELF, by bringing sick & vulnerable children to Neverland and plying them with his money & life of luxury to..perhaps...have his way with them.
The only thing that seems to be working for the benefit of Michael Jackson during this trial is the fact that the people who are accusing him as well as the prosecutors seem to be just about as crazy as him.
According to reports the Jury doesn't seem to be very convinced of their allegations, which have been apparently over-exaggerated and over-dramatized by the accusers, so much to the point that there's been reports of members of the Jury laughing during testimonies. The mother of one of Michael Jackson's accusers testified that she's been receiving death threats from anonymus sources apparently linked to Michael Jackson. Later on, she testified that her allegations were not true, and she lied under oath.
Celebrities like Jay Leno, Macaulay Culkin, and Chris Tucker claimed that they've been pestered with phone calls to not come in defense of Michael Jackson.
To this point, you don't know which wacko to believe in.
