And Jackson is...

If there's something on your mind that just doesn't seem to fall into any of the other categories, well, it quite likely belongs inside Joe Finneman's marketplace. Think of it as a general store for general discussions!

I'm hoping he goes to jail with a life's sentence. :P

I agree... if only for his music! :anxious:

I don't know if I'm really convinced he's guilty or not. It wouldn't surprise me if he was, but on the other hand he just seems like a real weirdo who might just be really eccentric, but harmless. I don't know, I really haven't followed all the evidence that much. It was funny when he wore pajamas to court, though.

He was just found innocent of all counts. I thought he would be found guilty of at least a couple of the lower charges. If he is innocent then good for him and if he was found innocent because the jury was afraid to send on superstar to jail for it then shame on them. :shame:

Well, if he really is guilty, he'll pay for it eventually, one way or another.

But if he does a sequel to the hit song "Thriller", all will be forgiven. \:D/

The guy disgusts me. The fact that he was "sleeping" with kids in his bed wasn't even in dispute. Just "messing" with them was. The guy is a wacko and shouldn't have kids or be allowed NEAR kids. Movie/Music stars literally get away with murder. (O.J. Simpson)

Well, you have to admit, OJ Simpson did a great job in the Naked Gun movies. You can't convict anyone who was in those, they are too cool!

My personal favorite is "Beat it". "Thriller", however comes a close second.

Well, he's ain't guilty!

If he was; let's pray he's learned his lesson.

I've been following up on the evidence, and I'm convinced this man is guilty. I'm convinced he was a very sick child mollester, and should be locked up for a very long time. But of course we can't send HIM to jail, because he's a celebrity. His music is great, but I think it's time we sent him away and remembered him as he was.

My thoughts exactly. They really should have locked him up and lost the key. I'm not surprised that he got off. The sad thing is he can't be tried again. ](*,)

I dont think he was guilty. I mean the kids were prolly some brats who's parents wanted money so they disided to make up storys to get Jackson to pay them money. I mean really the kids storys were allways changing

Exactly what I've gathered. Not that Jackson isn't a freak or anything.

Don't you love the scene where he's in the wheelchair and it goes down the stadium steps and he launches out of the chair when he hits the fence at the end? \:D/
I love that whole baseball scene... :inlove: The umpire's antics were absolutely hilarious. :hilarious:
You might have to be a baseball fan to truly appreciate all that is going on in that scene... :anxious:

I'm not much of a baseball fan, but that was a great scene! Those movies... especially I think the first one, but it's been so long I don't really remember which was which... were great! :D The TV show it is based on was awesome, too...

Did OJ ever do any other acting? :-k

I saw the not guilty thing when I was at dinner. As I haven't really been following it, I don't know what to think, except that he is one creepy man.

Which he did. Jackson did bribe people with money, at least a few times, and a LOT of it. And again, the fact that the pervert was sleeping with kids wasn't even being debated. That enough should have been enough to do something to him. YUCK.

Actually, Jackson did admit to some of those things in one or two interviews, but they did not count those interviews as evidence. I think it was rediculous, if you are famous in California, you can get away with anything. I heard someone say that if he had been tried just about anywhere else in the united states other than California, he would have been convicted guilty. I think the trial would have been a lot shorter too. Arrgghhhh...it really annoys me. Oh, and sorry for continuing on, but i heard a short interview with MJackson on the radio, oh my goodness, just the way he talks is creepy. I don't have any idea why people like him, no offence. Even his music...yikes. :sick:
