Well, I am a civil attorney who has seen business clients railroaded by federal prosecutors goaded to action by federal bureuacrats. Just look at what the Feds did to Arthur Andersen: destroying a vital company and throwing tens of thousands out of work, on a bogus obstruction of justice charge. And the feds will get away with it, just as the sniper who killed Randy Weaver's wife and son never had to face justice.

I don't trust the government, period.

I agree with you on the Anderson trial,etc. Your concern re the Federal government is well placed. For that reason, I still go with the jury on this one. Just because I believe jackson IS guilty of child abuse in the psychological sense ( even if all he did was "sleep" with the boys) he has not been proven guilty of child abuse according to our laws and was acquitted by our juries.
