3. It's really pretty disgusting
They wanted him convicted because he looks and acts funny.

They should all google the name Dale Akiki..he looked funny too..his life was ruined by coached, tainted evidence and witchhunts

13. Wow, I did just that.
That is an amazing case, the fact that the prosecution even brought that case is criminal.

18. Amazing isn't it?
and believe me..until the tactics of the therapist were brought to light, they were being used as expert witnesses in many cases..again..Dale was headed toward conviction..and even though he wasn't convicted, his life was ruined.

20. yeah its ridiculous.
I'll admit, I had the same knee jerk reaction when this trial came up (again) but the people in the jury hear a lot more than I do in passing on CNN or wherever.

I think michael jackson needs psychological help for his problems, but I am able to accept that he's not a pedophile.

25. Three boys are sitting on death row right now
Edited on Mon Jun-13-05 07:24 PM by Old_Fart
I can't remember what their names are but they wore black and acted "weird". Two boys were murdered and they were charged with their murders. The stepfather of one boy was a preacher and his wife was found dead. While the three boys rot in jail the stepfather walks free. Everyone in the southern town convicted them on the clothes that they wore "black".

I think that the name had Robin Hood in the case :shrug:

5. Why does that surprise you ?
Mob mentality is a very strong operating force on this board.
Sometimes for good, sometimes for bad, sometimes for just plain stupidity ... but it's here.

I expect flamewars for the rest of this week at least, over MJ.

15. It's as bad as the media sometimes
and don't know when to Let it go, but they don't. Just like the Dean thing last week, he came out on top like I said.

If MJ was guilty of any crime it would have been on the news for months if not years
there are real bad pedophiles whose trials should get 10x the coverage.
The jury has spoken and that is the end of this trial. I am glad it is over. period...





To tell the truth my daughter had potential jury duty for this trial but is attending school in Denmark, but I had to get her out because we didn't know if she would have been chosen.

Yes, I live here in the same town,

22. it's the end of the trial until next time
A 40- something man who shares his bed with kids is not right, no matter that they can't seem to pin anything on hims (which is largely because of the he said/he said nature of the evidence). Simply, the jury chose to believe the famous person. Okay, fine, but it will probably happen again unless parents have the good sense not to let their kids near him.

7. From what I've seen, they appear to be way in the minority. Most
DU'ers don't think that.

16. I'm kind of shocked...
But not really.

That attitude is why I get really scared at the possibility of another terrorist attack.
