Whether you love or hate Michale Jackson no one can deni that Jackson has shaped music, culture, and our news over several decades. Today at 4:08 pm I got new thats Jackson was going to have his fate decided. I did not fallow this trial at all. Or take the time to learn the facts. Its not because i hate Jackson or i found him guilty or not guilty. There was just too much coverage to the point where i couldn't really fallow. Plus i Had more pressing things to do. to all those alert right now. I would suggest turning on your radio to AM 620 for a live audio feed. As soon as they release the verdict i will update this board.
remember that Jackson has about 10 charges brought against him so there is alot that well have to go through.
I suggest to all those here, not to be over critical about the trial but take a objective and factual stance when typing on this thread. we are all here for the love college basketball. Even though we may all love basketball i bet our views are different culturally and different views on our justice system. anyways, when i get an update i will be here providing information.

i figured he would've been found guilty only on some of the smaller charges. not that i really cared but that's what i'd assume given his celebrity status. L.A. courts really suck at trying to convict celebrities in media circus trials. First OJ and now Jackson, only one more strike and they should give up for good.

I just want to know where i can find this Jesus Juice...i figured he would be found guilty on molestation but assumed the alcohol charge to a minor would be a gulity but shows what i know...i am just glad it is over so it is not in the news anymore...i hate the trails that take up time on the news. ie Peterson trail,jackson, and all the others i dont care about...there is genocide in the world and we need to spend our lives seeing if a scary looking man likes to make company with little boys.

Hey b1uduk, is your screen name supposed to be pronounced "blue duck"? and if so, is that a tribute to the Larry McMurtry novel "Lonesome Dove"?
Possibly the greatest novel ever, IMO.

(That's from Reno 911!, if you didn't know) This is nuts if my memory serves me correct, didn't the prosecution drop its case against Kobe? if so u can't put him in the same category as jackson and OJ considering the ppl who were trying to have him punished gave up. that's different than being found not guilty and not able to have him be re-tried in court.

Yeah and Kobe wasn't in L.A. it was in Colorado. But M.J. being not guilty on all accounts is just plain nuts....but if anything now he says he won't let young boys sleep in his bed w/him.......what a great lesson learned, it took all the tax payers dimes to teach you that a grown man (or whatever the hell it is) shouldn't be shacking up with boys from broken homes Cali residents should be pissed off that they have lost 3 high profile cases that were dragged out for months (OJ, Blake, Jackson) w/sequisterd juries and all the costs only to have them get off with nothing With that being said thriller was the sh*t back in the day.

Thriller was great.... on a side note, I was playing a Genesis emulator at my buddies yesterday, and he had the 'Michael Jackson's Moonwalker' game on there. Let me tell you.... Michael going around kicking thugs, dancing and rescueing children is a great game concept. When you get help from Bubbles and your health is based on 'magic', you know it's a winner.

I may be in the minority here, but I don't think there's any way a jury could've found MJ guilty of the charges brought. Now, I'm not saying that he didn't do it - I think we all know that he did. But, "beyond a reasonable doubt" is an incredibly high standard and the prosecution simply did not bring enough CREDIBLE evidence to prove their case.
As for Kobe, the reason the prosecution had to drop the case was because the victim refused to testify. It's a bit hard to prosecute a case without the only witness (other than Kobe, who doesn't have to testify) who knows what happened.
