Originally posted by seacaptain I didn't follow the case close enough to know for sure why he got off, or the elements of the charges or whatever. But one thing I thought I heard or read somewhere is that there just wasn't enough physical evidence. It was mainly just witness reports, nothing concrete. It's tough to win a criminal case with just that, it's easy to raise suspicion of the reports. Especially when the defendant is super-rich and famous. And even more especially when the Mom was a nutjob. She didn't help the case one bit. There just seems to have been a little doubt there that he did these things he was charged with, and that's all that's necessary to be found not guilty. The state has to prove these things with a pretty high degree of certainty, which can be tough, for sure, and may be unfair sometimes, but that's the way it is. It's fair though; you don't want to be sending someone off as a criminal without a pretty good degree of certainty.

You're totally right..I just don't think they proved their case enough..I just feel bad for the kid..He was either molested by MJ OR he was used as a pawn in this whole thing..Plus, his mom is a wack-job..Ahhh well..It's over..

i can´t believe he got away with it ...there clearly must have been something going on. i suppose it´s pretty easy bribing judges in the Staes presupposed you got the cash. common...they´d found CHILD PORN on Neverland....
i loved how German tv filmed his Mom and said it was Michael Jacksom himself..haha. His dad looks a bit like the Godfather, eh? slightly Brando-ish chin and cheeks.

If he did it, I just pray for him. Plus that's all you can do now.
