Without A Reasonable Doubt

Those words were spoken over and over today as I watched the verdict unfold in the Michael Jackson case. I found myself excited and happy going into the verdict; the defence looked somber, Jackson looked drugged, the prosecution looked jubilant, and the jurry made no eye contact with Jackson or the defense. The thing that made me hopeful was the fact that it had taken the jurry eight days, which made me believe that they must be finding him guilty on some of the charges, and the fact that they made no eye contact with Jackson sent the message that they didn't want to look into the eyes of the man they had just sent to prison for a good amount of his life. Imagine the shock and horror I felt when ten innocents were declared on ten counts varying from conspiracy to kidnap and hold people captive, to extortion, molestation, and providing a minor with a controled substance. The jurry likes to claim that Jackson's celebrity factor was no factor, which we all know is a load of crap. Once again we have seen that fame and money can buy you an out to any legal case in this great nation of justice we live in. I completely believe that Michael Jackson is guilty. I did not like the first count of kidnapping and extortion, but I definately believe he was guilty of molestation and providing a minor with a controled substance. What the jurry needed to realise is that they were not judging a family, their motive, or a psycho mother; they were judging whether or not Michael Jackson had an innapropriate relationship with this child. Now when I say innapropriate I mean that he molested him because evidently sleeping in a bed with a thirteen year old boy for 365 consecutive nights is deemed appropriate at the neverland ranch. I hope that Michael Jackson lives with the deepest guilt for his crimes, and I hope that it eats away at his very soul until justice is finaly served. It seems very strange to me that he has to be told that sleeping with young boys is innapropriate at the age of 47, but maybe that's just me. I hope that this really makes him realise that he is living in the actual world and not his own little fantasy land where it is only him and thirteen year old little boys running around a mansion filled with mini doors to crawl through, and a theme park of course. Michael Jackson is a complete freak, and whether the family was trying to set him up or not by sending their young child to his ranch, if he did infact molest the boy his crime will be brought out in his final judgement and justice will be served in a much more harsh manner. I hope that Michael Jackson makes himself right before God before the day he departs this world and heads to the real neverland.
