OK, it is just about upon us.
After many months, the jury gets instructions today
Closing arguments tomorrow
Friday the jury gets the case.
We are talking one of the most influential money making muscians ever known, who has made some of the most idiotic decisions ever known.
What will happen?
Guilty or innocent?
Will he perform Live 8 from jail or in London?
What say you? |

Celebrities in US always seem to get off..while the poor rot in jail...guilty or innocent...I know I'm simplifying but he'll walk...its an easy bet!..But he's essentially finished.How about the 28,000 Arthur Andersen employees lose their jobs..now Supreme Court says wrong conviction...only in America do they do the appeal..after the execution... |

To be honest: I don't give a damn. I never really liked him or his music. |

He will (and should) be acquitted, unless some jury member personally hates him and decides to hang the whole thing.
The prosecutors in this case are even more incompetent than in O.J.'s. Those retard hack idiots practically proved Jackson DIDN'T do what they accused him of. Case should never have been tried to begin with. |

My two cents ( and my opinion really is not worth much more on this matter) is that MJ may or may not have behaved in a sexually inappropriate manner in the past. He definately is inappropriate in in many other ways.
But I believe that Sneddon and the DA's office has made this case more about his obsession than MJ's. When witnesses tell you that they WERE NOT molested, and then you suggest to the witness, the judge, the jury, that he merely does not remember it because he was asleep...to me it seems Sneddon has become Ahab...on a quest to get the monster that got away.
Whatever MJ has done in the past, the DA has chosen what has to be the worst set of accusers that he possibly could have. Even public opinion polls have reversed from the beginning of the trial. When in the beginning there was overwhelming belief in guilt, the last poll I saw said over 60% of those asked did not believe Sneddon had proven his case. I believe that MJ has gotten away with things in the past, but in this case, this crazy greedy family is just out for the fame and the money. |

Don't pity Jackson, says trial judge
From correspondents in Santa Maria
02jun05
THE judge in Michael Jackson's child sex trial today instructed jurors not to be swayed by "pity," or "prejudice" or "public sympathy" when considering the superstar's fate.
Judge Rodney Melville told the panel of eight women and four men that "pity" and other emotional and external considerations should not colour their decision on whether or not to find Jackson guilty.
"You must not be influenced by sentiment, conjecture, prejudice, public sympathy or public feeling," the judge said after summoning jurors back into court after a day and a half of legal wrangling out of their earshot.
Jackson, 46, was also back in court as panellists were handed a 2.5-centimeter thick book of jury instructions, the size of a thin phone directory, that were hammeerd out during arguments between rival lawyers.
Judge Melville told panellists they can only discuss details of the case of the world's most famous defendant between themselves and should not seek counsel from outsiders including spouses, spiritual advisers or therapists.
In addition, the jury must apply the law as it is explained to them by the judge, Judge Melville told them, adding they must accept the law as it is, even if they personally disagree with it.
Judge Melville then individually listed each charge against the faded "King of Pop," who faces 10 counts of fondling a 13-year-old cancer survivor in early 2003, serving him alcohol and conspiring to hold the boy and his family captive.
Under California law, the judge must read the instructions to jurors as well as hand them the book of specific guidelines of how they should come to a decision that could see Jackson jailed for up to 20 years.

He will walk, leave the country, and find a new home where he can blend in, perhaps Sweden if he dies his locks blond. |

Prosecution closing arguments titled "brilliant"
Now, Meserau is on.
He spent 15 minutes trying to get his computer to
operate a powerpoint presentation, delaying his start.
This from a guy who cannot even send email.
All for the jury to see.
Jacko is going to really know the meaning of
"Black & White"... |

The case against him is a bit weak considering who is making the charges. But I think Jacko is a weirdo, and I have always be suspicous of Jacko's obcession with little boys. If he was playing around with young girls at least he would be a normal pervert. |

I think he is guilty as all hell. He has the power and the money (hopefully not much longer) to get out of it. What if the same accusations were levelled at a black school cleaner?
So, the albino fucker will walk. But the fucker will never record again and will certainly never tour again.
He should be strung upside down from a light pole and beaten with sticks with nails in them. I shudder at his image. I shudder at what he did, and come on, he did something. He and his entourage of hangers-on are crafty as sewer rats.
The case against him may not be proved by all reasonable doubt, but "something" has occurred in his little ranch.
Putting the blame on to "money grabbers" is irrelevant. Who cares if the mothers of some one is a petty crook. One question has to be asked. "DID HE MOLEST ANY KIDS?"
Come on, does any one think honestly in their hearts he neve did anything?
I hope the creep dies a long, miserable death.
I hope his face falls off.
I hope a Llama sodomises him. |

Oh, and 1 more thing.
Why didnt he give evidence? |
|

After careful review of the closing arguements,
I find it extremely difficult to fathom that a
female majority jury will find Jacko innocent.
The defense did not deliver on it's promises made
during opening arguements.
In addition, in the closing arguements, the defense
attemped to place the burden on the jury, which is
a tactic of weakness.
Jacko fired the wrong attorney with Geragos.
Jacko should enjoy his last weekend of freedom...

He won't walk. That's my gut feeling. Larry King is interviewing Meserau Monday night. |

I thought Larry King was interviewing Geragos on Monday night. You know, the guy who did the Scott Peterson trial. |

I guess we'll see. I can't imagine a jury convicting when almost every key prosecution witness was shown to have lied at least once. The prosecution's story is too goofy to believe as well. Is it possible to get 12 people to send a guy prison on all that bullshit? Seems incredibly unlikely. |

Right you are SirMoonie, I think he'll go free as well. |

I read over at another board that "the barrister" is
worried about ticket sales on the "On Stage" tour.
I think he's consulting with the folks from Nexium about this, as he seems extremly worried about "image".
Soon, he will have the same concern over Billary.
You should consult him about the validity of the show
in Omaha, as he is the Obi Won on such topics.. |

there are so many charges that Pedo Pan is facing that surely one or two will stick.
I reckon he will be found not guilty on the conspiracy and kidnap charges
but guilty on at least one molestation and one administering alcohol charge.
My tip - 3 years in the big house, where Michael will be enjoying different 'pony rides' to what he is used to.
