Is it true he still pays selfish parents to get their kids to go to Neverland Ranch?

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.

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.

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

The American Justice System at work.

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.

(Cellarites from California - don't feel too picked on by me, I generally think everyone is stupid - myself included.)

The prosecution picked *terrible* witnesses, and either didn't do their homework, or had people flipped behind the scenes.

But is MJ a pedophile? Yeah, I think he is.

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.

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.
