If somebody did something so sick to your kids, would you take a $20 million settlement, or get the money AND see him go down?

I'd take the latter.

The Smazmeister General has made a lot of good points.

What was it you said, Smaz, like looking for a needle in a haystack? Try needle in a haystack that hasn't got a fuckin needle in it.

Anyway, we'll probably never know. Because he'll probably kill himself anyway.

He's a huge megastar, one of the most famous blokes ever, with a hugely successful career and enough money to last him forever. Why would he do something like that? He knows it would come out, and he'd get fucked for it. Doing something like that would ruin everything for him, he'd lose everything. It wouldn't be worth it.......

Could be because when your as wealthy as he is, you think your invincible and can't be caught doing any wrongdoing? Money is no object to him. I'll take advantage of you only to pay you off later and keep everything under the table. MJ is almost childlike in his adult years, spoiled by riches. He's clearly an undeveloped adult. Plus his own childhood, which didn't seem that great, could have had an influence on his behaviour.

I personally think he's guilty. I see your point smaz, thinking anyone could make up a story for their own personal gain (knowing his worth) but, like it's been said, too much evidence points the other way. $0.02
