I have to think that even though this is not the verdict we want, that MJ will pay bigtime for this. I feel that justice always has a way of winning out in the end.

Look at OJ - he's a pariah, and his daughter has already been in trouble with the police.

I'm going outside and make yellow snow!

Time for Michael to take that trip to Thailand in celebration.

Actually, it's a warning shot across the bow for families who are sick enough to put their kids in that kind of position and hope for the payout. In this case, the family's checkered past did them in.

As I posted here many times, MJ may be a perv. But God help us all if a family of con artists, welfare cheats and liars can get the last word in a courtroom.

Is he dancing on an SUV?

[b4its2late]

He can celebrate with a slumber party.

He's scared straight.... for a couple days anyway....

[geege]

I knew he'd get away with it.....I would love to see all his fans outside send their kids over to Neverland for a sleep over.

Let's hope this is the last one...

We've had OJ, Blake and MJ - maybe this is the trinity and we're done with guilty rich people getting away with murder, et al.

Check out Drudge!!!

Come on, everybody. This really isn't a surprise. The credibility of the accuser (and his mother) was totally shot. They are a living example of the consequences of ruining your integrity through a history of misconduct. The jury really had no choice.

Did MJ do it? I don't know; my gut feeling is: Of course he did. But given the issues with the accuser, it takes more than that.

"U.S. v. DOUGHERTY, 473 F.2d. 1113, 1139 (1972): "The pages of history shine on instances of the jury's exercise of its prerogative to disregard instructions of the judge...."


We need to inform jurors of their rights.

[Dashing Dasher]

Teflon Molester!?

LOL!!!

[marajade]

That DA better start looking for a new job today... My guess he'll be unemployed tomorrow.

[Michael Goldsberry]

I'm going to go take a shower now.

(... and barf!)

[plain talk]

Right. The rich pervert walks and these jurors are idiots. Just another day in America. And what's worse - sheeple vote. 47% voted for Kerry. Children are being dumned down by the government schools, brainwashed and are not being taught to analyze and think. Until we get at the root cause we'll continue to suffer crap like this.

[OldFriend]

Definitely a NJ Supreme Court verdict.

Evidence to be ignored at all costs.

[edmond246]

I have lost about all my faith in the justice system at the local/state level. There is no way that this sicko got away with all of these crimes. Not even the lesser charge of alcohol to a minor. That wasn't even disputed in some cases, it was kind of accepted. Well it looks like America has let this loser go back out into the world to prey on some more little boys. I hope that someday this nation will learn how to actually convict people who are from Hollywood. This makes me sick. America is the land of molestors.
