View Full Version : Michael Jackson Jury Reaches Verdicts

SANTA MARIA, Calif. - The jury in the Michael Jackson trial reached a verdict Monday in the child molestation and conspiracy case against the pop superstar.

Sheriff's deputies and court officials said the verdict was to be read after attorneys and Jackson reached the courthouse. The singer was told earlier that he would have about an hour to arrive from his Neverland ranch.

The jury, which listened to 14 weeks of testimony and arguments, deliberated over seven days before sending word of a verdict at about 12:30 p.m. PST.

Jackson, 46, was accused of molesting the then-13-year-old boy and plying him with wine at the pop star's Neverland ranch in 2003. Jackson had befriended the boy, a cancer survivor, and they appeared together when Jackson was interviewed for the documentary "Living With Michael Jackson."

In that now-notorious interview, conducted by British journalist Martin Bashir, Jackson acknowledged that he allowed children to sleep in his bed, but that the activity was nonsexual.

Amid the stir caused by the documentary, the accuser's family claimed that Jackson conspired to keep the family at Neverland in an attempt to get them to rebut material from the documentary. Prosecutors also said Jackson's associates plotted to spirit the family away to Brazil until the controversy blew over.

In December 2003, 10 months after the documentary aired, Jackson was charged with molestation and giving alcohol to a minor. Jackson pleaded not guilty.

The three-month trial was marked by lurid accusations of impropriety against Jackson by former Neverland employees, as well as the accuser's brother. But the prosecution often was undermined by witnesses who delivered unexpected testimony that appeared to favor the defense.

Deborah Rowe, Jackson's ex-wife and the mother of two of his three children, testified that Jackson was a wonderful parent, a generous person and a victim of "opportunistic vultures" in his inner circle who were trying to take advantage of his troubles for their own financial gain.

A sheriff's investigator later testified that Rowe had privately described Jackson as a "sociopath" and said they had a "plan" always to speak nicely about their relationship in public. But Rowe's testimony in court was seen as a setback for the prosecution.

On May 11, the actor Macaulay Culkin, who met and became friends with Jackson when Culkin was a child star in the 1990s, appeared in court and adamantly denied that Jackson had ever touched him inappropriately. Culkin dismissed the molestation charges against Jackson as "ridiculous."

Perhaps the most crucial testimony came from the accuser himself, who's now 15. A few of his details were missing or somewhat inconsistent, and he turned hostile under defense questioning. But his testimony was bolstered by a videotape showing him haltingly describe the allegations to detectives for the first time.

He said on the tape, as he did on the stand, that Jackson began fondling him one night in 2003 after saying he wanted to show him how to masturbate. The boy also told investigators that Jackson kept fondling him after he asked him to stop.

The boy did not tell the detectives something that he later said both Jackson and his grandmother told him: that men who don't masturbate sometimes commit rape.

The boy said on the tape that Jackson molested him no more than five times. In his testimony, he said he remembered two times, but that there may have been more. His brother testified that he saw Jackson fondling the boy twice.

In closing arguments, the lawyers portrayed both Jackson and the accuser's family in starkly different ways: The defense characterized Jackson as a victim of grifters trying to pull "the biggest con of their careers." The prosecution said it was "unmitigated rubbish" that the family could have made up the allegations.

Jackson did not testify, but the jury heard him on a videotape making such remarks as "I'm not a nut" and "I haven't been betrayed or deceived by children. Adults have let me down."

Jackson's health has been a hot topic throughout the trial. He has been plagued by back troubles since it began, and he was taken to the emergency room at Santa Ynez Valley Cottage Hospital for treatment on June 5, and he returned for follow-up on June 8.

Prior to last week, Jackson's case was interrupted twice by hospital visits, once for treatment of flu symptoms. He first reported a back problem in early March, when he went to an emergency room on one of the days his accuser took the stand. Jackson arrived late, dressed in pajama bottoms, after the judge ordered him to come to court.

Regardless of the outcome, a big question about the trial would be its outcome on Jackson's career. Since he was first accused of molestation more than a decade ago, his record sales have plummeted, and he has performed in concert infrequently.

Many details about Jackson's finances remained sketchy during the proceedings. But forensic accountant John Duross O'Bryan testified that the singer had an "ongoing cash crisis" and was spending $20 million to $30 million more per year than he earned.

A balance sheet dated June 30, 2002, indicated Jackson had assets of $130 million and liabilities of $415 million, O'Bryan said.

The testimony included references to memos by Jackson financial managers warning that to balance the books and clear huge loans held by Bank of America Corp., he might have to sell his share of up to 50 percent of Sony/ATV Music Publishing, which owns and administers copyrights to thousands of songs — including the words and music to 251 Beatles tunes.

Jackson's career spiral has been startling in light of his enormous popularity stretching back to the early 1970s, when he was a child superstar with his brothers in the Jackson 5. He made an easy transition to solo act in 1971 and had the smash hit album "Off the Wall" in 1979. His follow-up to that was the monumentally successful "Thriller," which went on to become one of the hottest-selling pop albums of all time.

While he couldn't repeat the success of "Thriller," his hit singles and videos remained a strong presence on the airwaves with the albums "Bad" (1987) and "Dangerous" (1991).

Then came the allegations, as well as other odd behavior, and his popularity slumped, except for a tight circle of hard-core fans. The "Number Ones" compilation album released in 2003 sold 903,000 copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan. But his box set, "The Ultimate Collection," sold just 57,000 copies last year.

Part of the problem is the parents came off like they were looking for a buck, agreed.

But even if the mother put her child in that situation hoping to get Jackson to pay her some money, either for services rendered or for extortion, it doesn't give Jackson a pass if he did, in fact, molest the kid.

Will be interesting to see if a civil suit follows.

I was just reading that the prosecutions major evidence, ie: the little boy who could actually identify MJ's cock (due to the pattern of discoluring on it) you know, the one that was paid $30 million in the
early 90's, refused to get involved with the case.

Jurors are already admitting they think he has molested children
but didnt have enough evidence against this latest child..

So it would seem if the Kid he paid off, had taken the stand Jacko
was gone.

Cathedral
06-14-2005, 05:56 PM
Double Jeopardy means that the same people cannot try him for the same charges, but a new accuser certainly can if the evidence is there.
Jacko is not free from being charged with pedophilia again because of this verdict, just not from the same people.

And also, he wasn't found innocent, he was acquitted, there is a big difference in the two.
His innocence was NOT proven, just a lack of evidence to convict him on what was provided.

There are a couple of the jurers who believe he has molested kids before, but for our justice sytem to work it has to be used under strict guidlines and rules.
It isn't very complicated at all. The Prosecution went forward with a flimsy case filed by people with zero credibility and lost because their case was not rock solid.

What saddens me that seems to have been overlooked is that predators seek out their victims and if you only skim the bottom of the barrel for the victims then chances are big money can beat them in a court of law if they fight you some day.

In as many ways that our justice system works, it is also broken in an equal number of ways.
Just ask any woman who has tried to win a rape case, procedures tend to stack against the victims.

I can't say if Jacko is actually innocent or guilty, i can only say that in my eyes, his actions with kids are highly innapropriate and there would never be any chance that any child of mine would fall victim to him, or any other celebrity for that matter.

Before i even look at Jackson, i would turn to any parent who allowed their kid to spend the night at Neverland and ask, "What kind of parent are you to let your child spend the night with a grown man?"

There is no satisfactory answer to that question in my opinion. you either protect your children, or you don't, there is no middle ground where kids are involved.

If Jackson goes down, I think the kids parents should go down for their actions as well.
The parents basically sell out their kids in hopes of recieving a nugget from the rich Peter Pan mother fucker because of his celeb status.

Any parent who uses a child like that should be reported to Family Services and their kids taken away before they get hurt, or worse.

Just like Jon Benet Ramsy, the way she was paraded around stages and basically painted to look way more mature than she was....they just asked for a sick fuck to come after her.

People, that which used to be the exception has become the rule, the Golden Rule among predators.

PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN, YOU ARE ALL THEY HAVE TO DEFEND THEM!

Who knows if the boy even wanted to testify or if he was just doing what mommy told him to do? :(

Jacko is not free from being charged with pedophilia again because of this verdict, just not from the same people.

And also, he wasn't found innocent, he was acquitted, there is a big difference in the two.
His innocence was NOT proven, just a lack of evidence to convict him on what was provided.

There are a couple of the jurers who believe he has molested kids before, but for our justice sytem to work it has to be used under strict guidlines and rules.
It isn't very complicated at all. The Prosecution went forward with a flimsy case filed by people with zero credibility and lost because their case was not rock solid.

What saddens me that seems to have been overlooked is that predators seek out their victims and if you only skim the bottom of the barrel for the victims then chances are big money can beat them in a court of law if they fight you some day.

In as many ways that our justice system works, it is also broken in an equal number of ways.
Just ask any woman who has tried to win a rape case, procedures tend to stack against the victims.

I can't say if Jacko is actually innocent or guilty, i can only say that in my eyes, his actions with kids are highly innapropriate and there would never be any chance that any child of mine would fall victim to him, or any other celebrity for that matter.

Before i even look at Jackson, i would turn to any parent who allowed their kid to spend the night at Neverland and ask, "What kind of parent are you to let your child spend the night with a grown man?"

There is no satisfactory answer to that question in my opinion. you either protect your children, or you don't, there is no middle ground where kids are involved.

If Jackson goes down, I think the kids parents should go down for their actions as well.
The parents basically sell out their kids in hopes of recieving a nugget from the rich Peter Pan mother fucker because of his celeb status.

Any parent who uses a child like that should be reported to Family Services and their kids taken away before they get hurt, or worse.

Just like Jon Benet Ramsy, the way she was paraded around stages and basically painted to look way more mature than she was....they just asked for a sick fuck to come after her.

People, that which used to be the exception has become the rule, the Golden Rule among predators.

PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN, YOU ARE ALL THEY HAVE TO DEFEND THEM!

Great Post CAT !

I have said all along, this wont be another OJ, because there are parents in the jury and this is child molestation. If he is found not guilty it means he is actually innocent, or rather there wasn't sufficient evidence to prove he is guilty.


And he was found not guilty, thats good enough for me.

I just about barfed when CNN showed his fans releasing doves into the air once he got aquitted of all charges...I wish I was there, I'd love to be able to interview his fans and find out exactly how many of them wouldn't have any problem letting their kids sleep in his bed.

Betcha the number's significantly smaller...

Yes, he shouldn't be around children, because he would probably scare them with his abnormal facial features, but I don't think that he is guilty of such crimes.

I actually thought they would get a contributing to the delinquency of a minor charge, and that would be it.

Nada...Zilch....

IMO, this vindication will get the ferris wheels at Neverland turning with new found vigor and focus.

Don't touch that dial, literally. They're inking a detached from reality show as we plink.
