Michael Jackson is dead of cardiac arrest.
Farrah Fawcett is dead from a rare form of cancer.
Aren't there more important things the news should be covering??

Though he really scares the shit out of me, he was a good musician.

Classic case of a good kid messed up by fame and fortune.

Nothing. He was aquitted due to lack of evidence. I'm saying all that bull only happened because of his then-vast fortune.

They ruined his oh-so-fortunate life anyways. Without proof.

There was a whole lot of circumstantial evidence, and probably a lot of things that his money got swept under the rug. We will never know what all the guy was up to, but a bunch of his dealings with little children was pretty suspicious. Perhaps it was all innocent, perhaps not. Maybe elvin is right and he just never grew up past the 9 year old level and just liked playing with other little children.

Whar I wonder about is parents who allow their young children to attend parties, and sleep overs, with a man of MJ's age.

Think whatever you want. But "innocent until proven" means to "stfu until proven"

That's not a chapter of US conscience.

Whatever there is, he was already ruined after the first set of trials. Not much to buy out there.

Let's stop the "discussion" we're not going to make any progress here.
