I'm amazed that you would think that something wasn't VERY wrong with a 47 year old odd ball, sleeping with young boys.

Do you still believe in the tooth fairy and the Easter Bunny??

Imagine if this was a NORMAL 47 year old man (not a freaky celebrity) sleeping with young boys. Do you think he would walk away a free man?! No way!

When you had your sleep over with your buddy in the 5th grade, which one of you was 47 years old??

One other question. When are you sending YOUR children over to "play" with Michael??

I'm not going to defend Jacko as man of the year - but I said this in about week two of the trial - he was going to be aquitted simply because the prosecution brought a crappy case. It's one thing to have jurors connect the dots, but another to put three dots on a piece of paper and call it the Mona Lisa.

I've found that I have some decent ones. I need to get
them graded. A few will fetch a pretty good $ I think.

You're just not thinking before you post. Who said porn was "harmless"? It's soul-destroying, but the jury's not there to judge the state of Jackson's soul, or his sanity, or whether he possessed naughty pictures.

Since this stuff was admissible (was it?) I presume the judge found a colorable connection to the crime alleged.

But, as this DA just proved, you can't build a case regarding specific acts on innuendo and porn.

I think what we have here is not an "evil judge" but an overconfident, underprepared DA with a case built on shaky inferences and witnesses with credibility problems. And if he indulged in courtroom antics, he finished the job of alienating the jury that his witnesses started. That's a recipe for a loss, especially when the defendant can afford the best defense around.

There is one semi-intelligent guy on the juror, a gray haired engineer called Ray. On Larry King last night he was saying that he believed Jackson had molested boys in the past.

This is going to make people very cynical about serving on juries.

I finally saw the "runaway bride"-like juror in the back row in a partial repeat of the jury presser. Yikes, she's almost as scary as Jacko!

I believe it was the jury who was not thinking, obviously.

We're talking about California. You REALLY need to define the word "NORMAL" :-)

And these are considered a "jury of his peers?" I think not.

That's so disgusting-looking. I shake my head in disbelief in that it is obvious this woman has no life. People are so lost, so blinded...it is such a sad commentary on the state of affairs in this country....a sad commentary, indeed.
