Michael Jackson

One of these two things is true:

Jackson was a man-child who just wanted to spend time around other kids because he could relate to them. He loved all children, as he professed, (oh but only the boys, no interest in the girls). Jackson slept in the same bed as boys as young as 8yrs old, in a room with intense security, but in a purely platonic way. Five accusers (including two who were paid off with substantial settlements) are all lying.

Or

He was a predatory paedophile.

I mean, they both just seem equally likely!!!!
 

We will never know what actually happened. He was defo a weirdo. Only watched the first episode of the documentary but I just don't believe these two at all. No emotions at all to supposedly shocking things that happened to them. Also no real detail to what happened, they basically just said we did this, we did that. Couldn't anyone just say that. Didn't their accusations get thrown out of court as well? Don't know the ins and outs of it all to be honest.

I just don't know what is true as he clearly was a strange individual. Anyway why the hell would you let your kid sleep in the same room with another adult. Just madness really.
 
Erm.... Yes it is. Everyone starts from innocent. So if you are not guilty... Your are innocent
No, it isn’t.

Nobody is “found innocent”, you’re found not guilty. There is no requirement to prove innocence and (particularly in Jackson’s case) it is often down to the prosecution failing to prove their case BEYOND reasonable doubt.

Entirely possible for a jury to believe that on the balance of probability the likelihood is that a defendant is guilty (as a couple of jurors in Jackson’s case have since stated - aside from those who DID find him guilty) and still return a not guilty verdict.

Much like the Simpson case

Right... So if your found not guilty you are innocent? Or are your going to make something up?

You are innocent until proven guilty.

They didn’t get thrown out of court, no. Well I mean technically they did I suppose, but only because the statute of limitations had expired, not down to them being without merit
 
Found innocent....

How many people were paid off along the way?

How much power did he assert on people to silence them?

It's pretty remarkable that you are so adamant the guy was innocent. For most people, it's a no brainer at this stage. But at the very very least, the documentary should make you question whether your faith in his innocence is misplaced.

Alright sound. Like I said don't know the ins and outs. But just going off the documentary these two and their parents show zero emotion to what happened to them. Never struggling to talk about it or get upset. Just not normal at all for me that.
