I wonder if his ex, Lisa Marie Presley, will speak up about any of this.

Is statistically proven that the abused are more likely to become abusers. If anything, his rough childhood made him more inclined abusive behavior later in life. That's simple statistics. Not to say some people don't overcome that abuse, but statistically they don't.

That's BS. He went to court and got acquitted because there wasn't any evidence to pinned him on.

He only went to court on ONE case and not all jurors found him innocent in that case. Other people have accused but not all have gone to court. The first was settled out of court with no determination of guilt and that person refused to testify in his official court case. Other's were never brought to trial for various reasons, perhaps in part due to the fact Michael was no longer living in the US at the time. IN fact his outcome was so uncertain that his own family has plans in place for him to run if he was convicted.

Then they would have come forward back then, would they? Sorry but not sorry I'm not buying any of this so-called shadiness and the two so-called victims are a bunch of liars who can't keep up with there stories right.

Sorry no, realistically when it comes to children probably not. Look how long it's taken for people to come forward with all the stuff with Women and they are adults. Children are even easier to scare into silence. But I guess for you you'd rather see Michael in any other light than this so nothing else is going to change that.

If Michael Jackson didn't molested any kids and the court finds him not guilty then it proves that he's innocent 110%. Also there was no evidence at all and you're being blinded that type of nonsense that people said differently to Michael Jackson.

I'm not the one who is blinded. De-Nile is more than just a river in Egypt.

So you're going to believe the lying victims instead of a man who never laid a hand on the children even all the actual facts said he's innocent and was acquitted for it so many years ago? Then I don't know what to think of you anymore.

No. The evidence was sufficient to get it brought to trial by a Grand Jury recommendation, but not get a conviction on one case. NO, he did not get a complete acquittal vote of innocent from all the jurors. Other people did accuse him but no charges were brought to trail for what ever reason. That does not mean he is innocent or that his other accusers are lying. Even the fact the first accuser who was paid off and wouldn't testify at his trail but fled the country to avoid testifying raised doubts for some of the jurors as to his innocence.

His innocence was more a matter of lack of evidence to prove his guilt than evidence to prove his innocence. Which is what some of the jurors claimed when voting not to convict him.

Re: The Rant Thread (v 1.2)

I have a friend IRL in a situation I fear is all too common. It really makes me mad! She met a guy more than 10 years ago and they moved in together. She was always clear that she wanted to get married and have kids. He kept postponing by saying things are great the way they are, we don't need a piece of paper, etc., and time went by....so they own a home together, etc. He's a good guy, doesn't cheat, pays his part of the bills, takes her places, etc. BUT there's not gonna be a wedding and there aren't gonna be kids. She's over 40 now and it's all because of fear of being alone. She never put her foot down for fear of losing him/not finding anyone else/being alone, and now what? Ugh. I hate to see people settle. More than that, I feel that he knew all along that this was all he wanted and he strung her along. Maybe not intentionally, but it is what it is. There is NO grey area about some things.

Re: The Rant Thread (v 1.2)

Went to the ER yesterday around 3:30 and ended up leaving around 9:00! I had shortness of breath and a lot of pain in my body. I'm still having pain, but I went off the doxycycline, which I think is causing the pain. So hopefully, I will get better in a few days. Just can't believe the frigging long wait!
