Michael Jackson Trial Jurors thought he was guilty but acquitted him!

Some members of the jury, which acquitted “The King of Pop” of all 10 charges related to allegations that he molested a now-15-year-old boy, said they suspected the singer had molested other children but that prosecutors had not proven he had done anything illegal to the accuser in his trial.

During deliberations, jury foreman Paul Rodriguez said, he and other jurors frequently discussed the testimony they had heard about past allegations that Jackson had molested or behaved inappropriately with five other boys, including two youngsters who reached multimillion-dollar settlements with the singer in the 1990s.

But, Rodriguez said, the jurors knew they could not convict solely on the basis of past allegations.

“We couldn’t weigh that with this case in particular,” he said. “We all felt that he was guilty of something. But we feel that if he didn’t learn from this experience, then it’s up to another jury to convict him.”

You are an obsessed troll. And quite stupid. You cut and paste text from an article in 2005!!! 2005!!! With no references, of course, because gee wiz, you probably dropped out of J.H.S. and never learned to cite.

Plus, with no comment from yourself.

Its just an endless wacking off of the synapses in your brain. To what end?

No end.

Um, yes that would require a not guilty verdict.

Michael Jackson was an extremely creepy person.

by Anonymousreply 4February 28, 2018 1:22 AM

He died a virgin. There was some horseplay with the boys where they pulled their weiners out and wagged them around, and MJJ's lawyers advised him to pay the grifters off to save is career. Bad idea.

I'm not sure what your goal here is OP, but you just demonstrated that the jurors followed the law.

R5 So you do not believe the Australian dancer Wade Robson who says that he had anally penetrative sex with Jackson? Likewise you do not believe Lisa Marie who claims they had sex several times? I did not believe that they had ever consummated their marriage, but the most recent account she gave of their "sex life" seemed oddly authentic.

I'm sure he was guilty. I think people just want to be able to enjoy his music without a guilty conscience and his delusional fanatics want to believe he was a perfect human being. But denying the truth doesn't negate it's existence.

This guy was a disgusting freak. Even if you are deluded enough to think he was innocent, just the things we KNOW he did are totally depraved.

Nobody should have left any kids anywhere near this sick freak. The fact that his music is still played is a travesty. It makes me want to puke.

Dear god, I would have to be on heroin or something even stronger to have sex with Michael Jackson. And even then I'd merely be able to tolerate simply lying there, praying for oblivion to overtake me...

R20 I have no idea of where I read it. But it was the way she described it which had a ring of truth to me. And she did not claim they had a full and rich sex life--that I could not buy. She more or less implied that he fucked her a few times as part of the process of getting her to marry him. She said it was incredible sex(hold on to your breakfast) and she thought that there would be lots more of the same.

But there wasn't. She said, "Do you really think that I would marry a man who was surrounded by rumors and eccentric behavior without finding out first if he was sexually compatible with me?" I am pretty damn cynical, and I have no love for Jackson and I am sure he was a child molester, but there are lots of child molesters who have sex with grown adults, so it's possible he could have performed once or twice.

This is not all that uncommon. I had a trial where the jury had a verdict on my client but not on his 2 codefendants. We took my verdict and it was not guilty. The jury went back to finish deliberations. I think it was the next day and they convicted the other two. I saw one of the jurors in the courthouse after they were released as a jury and he came up to me. He asked if I still spoke with my client - it was only a day or later so not sure what he thought - so I told him yes. He said tell him not to do it again. LOL!

Now there can be various reasons why a jury acquits when they "think" someone is guilty. Could be they liked my client - he was the only defendant who testified - and wanted to give him a break, maybe they didn't like the prosecution or the police officers testifying or their methods, or maybe they felt there wasn't enough to convict despite what they "thought". Or maybe he was a hold-out for conviction who decided to go along with the rest. So unless you talk to them after you don't know and even then they may be hesitant to tell you the truth.

So, OP, unclutch your pearls. It happens all the time.

r3 Unlike OJ where the jury knew he did it and voted him "not guilty" because he was black.

by Anonymousreply 24March 23, 2018 8:08 AM

I wonder how many others he molested and how many other lives he ruined because these jurors hadn't the guts to do what is right.

What a surprise that a "jury of his peers" would lie and distort the justice system.

I'm shocked.

I never believed he did it. The story kept changing and getting wilder in each new version. When he got to Jesus juice I just couldn't think of him as credible anymore.

I don't think the idea of Michael molesting kids was absurd on it's face and should have been ignored. But I don't think he was mentally stable enough to be the sophisticated predator his accuser was painting him as.

As a side note, NEVER let random celebrities keep your kids overnight
