Everyone knows he did it

Ridiculous.

12 independent jurors just decided, unanimously, that there was not enough evidence to convict.

People who pre-judged him and were breaking out the champagne waiting for a guilty verdict are exactly the kind of people who need to be excluded from juries.

Well said. If you can't trust a jury of your peers to make the correct decision, you certainly can't trust thousands of freepers who weren't in the courtroom.

Wrong; 12 California jurors just let ANOTHER black celebrity loose.

Be sure to come back and crow when the next boy is molested by Michael Jackson. It will be on YOUR head, too.

i agree... i even saw prosecuting attorneys on tv shows this past week saying they didn't think the prosecution had a strong case... none of them said he would be convicted...

As wierd as this once darling pop star is, 12 jurors heard the evidence and found him not guilty on THE EVIDENCE PRESENTED. When a person who has scammed others for money sues, they can't be surprised that they aren't believed.

Having said that, I do think that MJ is a pervert and if he was a normal citizen he would have been locked up in a mental institution yrs. ago. But our justice system worked as it should. This case was not strong.
