Actually, no.  He paid the boy's family some 23.3 million dollars to go away.

And that's all they wanted.

Not to put a sick paedophile behind bars, but a cash settlement.

He had a weird fascination with children and it could have been exploited for cash. That doesn't necessarily mean he did or didn't molest them. The problem with giving the first family money was that it opened him up for more extortion. Everyone wondered why the second family would let their kid hang out with him.. I don't --->$$. Shitty parents are shitty.

I don't know if he did or didn't tbh. I see both scenarios as being a possibility.

Which makes it all ok -right?

Settlement or no, the prosecution should have continued to build a case around him. Otherwise a sick bastard can get away with anything so long as he throws money towards it.

I agree with you 100%.

To be fair, that scenario can't be ruled out, but one would tend to think they'd vigiously defend their innocence in a case like that... and on that note ...

RIP MJ of 1980's

When 70 police show up at your house, take DNA samples, go through all your stuff, examine the children, interview the staff under oath, start a trial that drags on for months to result in nothing you are still guilty?


Seems to me fame comes at a heavy price.

Everybody was out to get him, and they got him. The promoters of this tour he was about to do filed lawsuits demanding 10% before the tour had even started.

Apologies to lurkers if you think our members usually speak of the dead in the way they have in this thread.  Its clear who has respect and who hasn't.  The first 4 pages are embarrasing.  Im not reading anymore.  You dont have to pay your respects, you don't have to say fuck all in fact.  Thats a lot better than some of the stuff thats been written.

Pretty much qfe.

And to those banned yesterday; my apologies. But ffs...

Sometimes you've just had enough. That was me yesterday; disgusted at the utter monkey shit throwing nature of most posting here.

He was aqquitted by a jury of his peers.

You can't buy off the courts.
Individuals, maybe.

When asked whether his office would stop pursuing charges against Jackson, the district attorney replied, “No comment.” But he insisted that his prior efforts to indict Jackson in 1993 had “absolutely, unequivocally nothing to do with our evaluation of this case.”

Fishing much?

OJ WAS found guilty.  but, it was overturned because of the riots

You can argue until you are black and blue about the topic, the reality is no one here is going to think of anything that has not been thought of already. I think it is best honor the man, or hate him based on what facts and opinions you have.

Same mentality when the "punished" Pablo Escabar

Why is there a full stop at the start of the topic title?

I'm not going to defend the rather insane and ridiculous things the media spotlight has show him doing, but in the legal arena he's been found not guilty of pedophilia and related charges.. (ref: People v. Jackson).

Which, as I said, he essentially bought via superb lawyers at a stupendous price.

Anyway, this is directed at FM. I don't think MJ was a kiddy-fiddler it the sense you're making him out to be. I think that due to his upbringing and his life he certainly turned out twisted. In many ways mentally he was no older than the boys he was accused of molesting, he sought companionship with them in a way that certainly wasn't normal for an adult and that's the thing; Jackson simply didn't understand that there was a line. Either way what he did wasn't harmful and certainly was not sexual in nature.

I don't know what to say. You're defending an adult who jacked off children.

Do you guys not remember that this is the same guy that dangled a baby off of a balcony for kicks? The same guy who put a fucking amusement park in his backyard? You seriously think he did nothing to those kids?

I don't know about MJ ... I guess I've always thought of him negatively with regard to children.  HOWEVER, I know of two men who cannot relate to adults at all, and both of them come out of some pretty screwed up home environments.  As adults, they interact almost exclusively with kids and do it in ways that are "gifted".  And, neither has a sexual interest in the kids, but rather (like fathers), they pour their lives into kids almost exclusively.

Do these people attempt to change their ethnicity and say it's a skin condition? lol

Come on guys, he belonged in a mental asylum.

I think we need to have two threads, a Michael Jackson MUSIC appreciation thread, and a Michael Jackson's life thread.
Since they are two TOTALLY different things; one was spectacular and one was very questionable.

That's hardly valid source. It's just an opinion.

Wait, wait

Being a pedophile is a crime now? Or jacking off to fiction?
