Michael Jackson
 

What do you all think about what's going on with Michael Jackson? Innocent or guilty?

Will wait till the movie comes out. I think the elf guy from lotr is going to play Jacko, but they will have to cut his nose off first!

I agree with Sharni, everyone should get a chance to prove there innocence. I do how ever think he's pretty strange and probably isn't telling the whole truth. It could be just a way for the kid's family to get rich, but we'll have to wait and see.

Like Sharni said.. innocent until proven guilty.. but - I wonder why this sort of thing keeps cropping up in his life? What is the basis for it?

yes the law will take its course.

He is seriously weird and the recurrence of this sort of allegation does make you uneasy. His insistance on seeking out innocents to share his bed is not a healthy sign, was Neverland the ultimate paedophile's paradise?

It makes you shudder thinking that. Time will tell but I have a bad feeling about this

What was that song that he recorded a few years back? Oh yeah, " Smooth Criminal". That's my take. King of Pop = King of Freaks!

Cheyanne,

I suspect that the trial will shine light into many darks corners of Mr. Jackson's life.

Imalikalotapuss,

The trial will distinguish between bizarre, weird, eccentric, and criminally liable. The legal system does tend to move rather more slowly than the court of public opinion.

Make that the " Never-again-land Ranch"

I agree.

I would love to say "Innocent until proven guilty" but I can't.
I think he is guilty.

I think he's innocent until proven guilty. Yes Mr. Jackson is very strange but still I believe proof needs to be given first.

And I think you right!

if he did he deserves to go to jail for a long long time, if he didn't do it leave the man alone he has enough to worry about

If he is found guilty and sentenced to prison I don't think i would survive. I personally think that's going to be hard for him to get a fair trial. I think he's strange, but that doesn't mean that i think he's guilty. If that was a crime we'd all be in prison. I just hope that the real truth will come out and that justice will served. And let him and the kid get on with there lives.

I can't type tonight what i meant was i don't think he could survive in prison:o

Did ya hear that Jacko and Elton john are gonna record a new duet?

Gonna be called "Don't Let Your Son Go Down On Me"

aww that was harsh Lazaruslong!

I think whoever did his plastic surgery should also be facing criminal charges. <shudder>

I believe in innocent until proven guilty but seeing as this is the second time this has happened to him, doesn't that arouse anyone's suspicions that there may be some truth to it?

His Doctor is a nose & wallet specialist.

Jacksons slam "Jesus juice" claims


AFP - Pop star Michael Jackson's family was "outraged" by what it dismissed as false claims that he plied a boy he is accused of having molested with "Jesus juice": wine in soft drink cans.

The family spoke out after Vanity Fair magazine made a startling new wave of allegations against the star. His legal team is unable to refute damaging press reports because of a strict gag order imposed by a judge.

Jackson family spokesman Firpo Carr told journalists outside the Jackson clan's home in Los Angeles that the allegations in the magazine's March issue were "outrageous, inaccurate and baseless".

"The family is outraged and justifiably so," he said. "We find it curious that this article appears when Michael's legal team cannot, because of a gag order, respond to this irresponsible yellow journalism," he said.

The US magazine alleged that the pop singer seduced boys by giving them cold drink cans filled with white wine, which he dubbed "Jesus juice" and red wine, which he called "Jesus blood".

It quoted lawyers and relatives of the two boys who have accused Jackson of child abuse, one in 1993 and the other last year, frequently using unnamed sources or making claims with no attribution at all.

An article in Vanity Fair by the same author, Maureen Orth, last year made a raft of bizarre accusations against Jackson, including one that he had sought the help of a voodoo witchdoctor to kill enemies, including movie mogul Steven Spielberg.

Carr said Orth was "disingenuous" in her claims that she tried to contact the Jackson family for the article, which also alleged that Jackson had battled alcohol and drugs addiction.

Geraldine Hughes, who wrote a book on the 1993 allegations against Jackson, which were settled out of court for a reported $US25 million ($A32.89 million), told reporters that the new charges against him were "copy-cat".

The 1993 claims were "more of a media trial and this case is nothing more than a copy-cat ... an extortion scheme", she said outside the Jackson house.

Jackson has been charged with abusing a 13-year-old cancer patient, charges which he has strongly denied and which are expected to go to trial later this year.
