Title: Jackson not guilty on all counts Post by: Lord Nepenthean on June 13, 2005, 02:29:57 PM http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8062350/?GT1=6657
Quote BREAKING NEWS MSNBC staff and news service reports Updated: 6:23 p.m. ET June 13, 2005Michael Jackson was found not guilty Monday on all counts in his trial on child molestation charges, ending a two-year legal saga for one of the world's most well-known pop stars. The courtroom sat silently as Judge Rodney Melville opened the jury envelopes one by one and silently read the verdict forms to himself before allowing the court clerk to read the verdict out loud. Lead defense attorney Tom Mesereau Jr. patted Jackson on the shoulder after the verdict was read. Two jurors dabbed their eyes with tissues. The rest of the article can be found at the link above. Title: Re: Jackson not guilty on all counts Post by: Speedy_NES on June 13, 2005, 03:03:42 PM I kinda expected this to be the outcome. Michael Jackson may be a weirdo, but as far as I'm concerned, he's more of a "child" himself, than an adult who aims to molest children. Plus his $$ tends to awaken the greedy side of most people.

Title: Re: Jackson not guilty on all counts Post by: Arrrhalomynn on June 13, 2005, 11:01:41 PM I wouldn't be surprised if he had actually done the stuff he was acquited for, but the evidence was just lacking. I believe they just had some guys saying: 'well, yeah, that guy there, with the freaky nose, he touched me!'.
Title: Re: Jackson not guilty on all counts Post by: Sauza12 on June 14, 2005, 06:36:08 AM I was sure he was going to get off on all of the charges, but I definatley think he did it. When you have that many people that have said that he did something, chances are he did.
I purposley didn't follow this trial so I can't say anything to the quality or abundance of evidence. Title: Re: Jackson not guilty on all counts Post by: TraderJake on June 14, 2005, 06:44:55 AM I bet he did it, but as many other people thought the case brought was extremely weak. I only wish he would have been convicted on one count as it would have made the traffic guy in a local radio station dress up in a $ress twice.
