Not all freaks are child molesters, but
All child molesters are freaks!
its a sick f%$king world. esp with him around
Don't you guys have ANY faith in the court system? I say he is innocent, but it doesn't mean that I would ever let my kid in the a Neverland...
yes, I agree that mikey is a freak-- but we dont know the facts of the case. Ive heard that this boys family had made allegations against another person also. Maybe mikey really did it, maybe he didn't. The important part is that we all need to think for our selfs and not let the mainstream media sway your thoughts and beliefs. Don't be upset about the verdict because your spouse, neighbor or friend is upset. Think for your self!! investigate see if you can find out why they found him not guilty. All of the evidence is now public record its available to everyone. Don't be a sheep any longer Be a shepperd. Dont believe everything you hear because its on the news, in the newspaper or on the internet. If he really didn't do it would you be equally upset if he was found guilty? or are you just upset because he is strange therefore he must have done it? I've talked to some strange people on this sight, should they be arrested beause they are strange? Just my thoughts
At the very minimum he should be locked up ina mental institution and get his brainpan worked on.
The real freaks are the parents that let the kids sleep with him.
innocent or not... the fact that this is the 2nd time hes been accused is a little strange.... plus hes freakin crazy either way! :dunno:
i'm upset becase nothing really happened...how much taxpayers money did they waste?
can mj file a civil suit against the families? somebody must pay!
and is it true that he's almost broke?
ktrim,
Bravo!
If you listen to the jurors, they essentially say that they think he did something inappropriate with the accuser (and/or other kids), but that the prosecution just didn't prove its case. Their only evidence was the testimony of the accuser, and apparently the jurors got the impression (mostly through their impressions of his mother both on and off the stand) that he wasn't being 100% truthful.
Beyond a reasonable doubt is a high burden of proof. If this was a civil trial, the standard would have been "a proponderance of the evidence," meaning that it is simply more likely than not that the defendant did what they are accused of. Based on the juror interviews I've heard, they would have convicted under that standard.
In our system, however, we place a heavy burden on the state when the state seeks to take away a citizen's freedom. The state must convince the jurors to unanamously agree that the defendant is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
I think this was not so much a case of "buying the justice system" as much as it was a case of the prosecution bringing a case where they had bad evidence.
But, we make it MUCH easier to take away all their money!
I'd say that if a person does his deeds in his own house ALL you have is the testimony of the "victims".
