He was as innocent as OJ. He was a monster!!! No one who is innocent would pay money for silence. Those families had to sign a non-disclosure silence contract. The parents choice money over justice. To many accounts were the same, hell one child even knew his penis was speckled. HE WAS GUILTY OF CHILD MOLESTATION, I hope he rots.

I am 58 years old, and have been a fan of Michaels since he andhis brothers, The Jackson 5, were born. My childern, and now mygrandchildern all love Michael's music. I have never made fun ofhim, laughed at any "joke" made of him, and believed him to be notguilty of any charges brought against him. I stood by him as if he were one of my own. He is at peace.

I feel sorry for him a bit. The world so loved his music but also loved to watch his pain and wacko jacko antics. Sometimes he fed on it but ultimately the world sucked the life out of this poor man child. However, all of his decisions and action he made.

Whether he was convicted or not is not the point just the implication makes him guilty.........

I agree w/ the first comment....we, the public who bought into all the hype and still made and laughed at jokes about him, the trial, his sexuality, etc. should feel ashamed. I believe Michael Jackson was troubled, but I never believed that he did the things that he was accused of doing. He made very poor choices and kept a bunch of paid "yes men" around him, but most celebrities of his stature do also. I could be wrong, but I truly believe that b/c of his upbringing and lack of childhood, he still considered himself a child and in his mind he didnt see anything wrong w/ the way he surrounded himself w/ kids and animals. To us of course, he appeared weird and suspcious but that certainly doesnt make him a criminal or a monster. My heart goes out to the Jackson family, especially his kids. And I am thankful for the wonderful memories of my childhood growing up in the 80's that his music was a part of. God bless him and may he finally be at peace.

ONLY GOD CAN JUDGE......IT IS A SHAME THAT A MAN WHO IN MY OPINION WAS INNOCENT HAD TO LIVE THE REST OF HIS LIFE TRYING TO ANSWER TO THE AMERICAN PUBLIC......THOUGH MANY OF HIS CHOICES WERENT WISE LIKE ASSOCIATING WITH CHILDREN, IT WAS A INNOCENCE THAT HE HAD AND HE WAS GUITY BY ASSOCIATION......THOSE ACCUSATIONS WERE NOTHING MORE THAN FOR THE MONEY. THE AMERICAN PUBLICS VIEW WAS HE WAS GUILTY BECAUSE HE PAID THE MONEY.....HERES FOOD FOR THOUGHT....MAYBE HE JUST GAVE HIS ACCUSERS WHAT THEY WANTED JUST TO GET THEM OFF HIS BACK....TO ME IF MY CHILD ACCUSED HIM OF MOLESTATION NO AMOUNT OF MONEY COULD BUY MY CHILDS INNOCENCE, THEREFORE NO MONEY WOULD MATTER....BUT ITS A SHAME A MAN WHO HAS DONE SO MUCH FOR THE WORLD HAD TO DIE THIS WAY......BUT I AM SURE HE IS AT PEACE........
