Michael Jackson Verdict Watch (Live Thread-[Update-Not Guilty ALL Counts])

Court TV; MSNBC; Fox ^ | June 3, 2005

[Howlin]

Bayliffs being sworn in, alternatives have been sent home!

This circus is about to be in the hands of the jury!

Bets? Predictions?

[cyncooper]

If he gets convicted I pray the media drops the "king of pop" line.

I'll bet the won't though. We'll be treated to news reports every few years about how the "king of pop" did this in prison or filed an appeal or is fielding proposals from the San Diego Zoo.

:-)

[cyncooper]

You're right. It's time to draw up a schedule to work around votes and verdicts!

[Sen Jack S. Fogbound]

"If convicted, he will have a bad time in prison! Prisoners do have compassion for children, and they very much dislike child killers and abusers!

"I don't think he'll have to worry -- the government will put him in super protective surroundings, he'll probably have his own personal security guard. Other prisoners won't be allowed anywhere near him."

He probably will have his own umbrella man with him!

[Reaganwuzthebest]

so I guess I'd believe the 40+ year old version than a recent one done for dubious reasons ($$).

Very well could be for the money and with both parties dead we'll never know what really happened.

[YaYa123]

I'm sure Inspecterette apreciates your sense of humor as much as I do. "Elk roping" yeeee haw!!

Back to Jacko!
I bet the jury isn't going to like it that Jackson's lawyer made so many empty promises in his opening. And really mad that instead of Jackson testifying, they have to watch him on video...again. I bet they think that's a cheezy cheap trick...I bet they resent it.

[My Favorite Headache]

Not Guilty on all counts. If found guilty Jackson will be dead within 24 hrs from suicide.

[varon]

guilty of child molestation, and, guilty to contributing to the delinquency of a minor (by plying the kids with booze)

If that is the case, his punishment will be a $100 fine and 100 hours community service ;-)

[Graymatter]

"Black entertainers always walk."...Huh? How about James Brown, in jail for a couple of years...I'm sure others will come to mind.

Leadbelly!

[ken5050]

yet still without a TAGLINE...

[righttackle44]

"I either did or I didn't. Likewise, I may or may not. Here's an expert analysis from CNN:"

LOL.

[onyx]

Been busy all day. Is the jury sequestered?

[Howlin]

Nope. Go figure.

[onyx]

Dayum. They get to go home to NOT watch the news all weekend? Yikes.

[sarasota]

Imagine them NOT watching tv? I can't.

[onyx]

Me neither, mainly because the news is filled with MJ.

[PilloryHillary]

I know it's late in the thread, but I think Michael Jackson will walk. Either a hung jury or not guilty. I think he's guilty, but beyond a "reasonable doubt"? The prosecution didn't prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt. Too many liars and criminals are involved on both sides of this case for the truth to be crystal clear. I hope I'm wrong....Jackson is a freak and a child molester...but O.J. Simpson was a killer and he's playing golf in Floriduh.

[Howlin]

It's not late at all.....evidently we have the entire weekend to speculate! :-)

[Mo1]

Bets? Predictions?

Guitly and he has a melt down in the court room

Michael is NOT gonna be able to handle jail time

[hispanichoosier]

Too many liars and criminals are involved on both sides of this case for the truth to be crystal clear.

I agree. The credibility of the mom, for example, was just shredded. If this was a civil trial, they'd get to a preponderance of the evidence. No way they'll meet the BRD standard.

[Miss Marple]

I bet he tries to flee this weekend.
