Prediction in Michael Jackson Verdict? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

The jury in the Michael Jackson case is deliberating. What do you think will be the verdict? Not what you want the verdict to be, but what you think it will be?

Michael Jackson faces the following charges:

One Count: Conspiracy to commit child abduction, false imprisonment and extortion
Four Counts: Lewd act on a child under 14
One Count: Attempted lewd act on a child under 14
Four Counts: Administering alcohol to enable child molestation

I think he's going to get off.

rusyd · 06-04-2005, 02:28 PM

Unfortunatley, he will be found not guilty. Not enough solid evidence.

I think he'll get off. I'm almost positive that he has committed inappropriate acts on kids - whether it was fullout molestation is another thing and there's just enough reasonable doubt that I don't think the jury will come to a verdict easily on it. It may even end up hung.

Unfortunately, I think the Prosecution clouded the testimony with so much crap that they could have hurt themselves with it. It mostly depends on what was in the video from the 1993 case. Apparently if they had just shown it and rested their case, there might have been a better chance at a guilty verdict. I think if I were a juror, a lot would rest on what was said/seen in that video from the first boy compared to what this kid is saying (i.e. if they could both describe MJ's penis identically, then that's pretty bad for Michael - even if no molestation took place, why should children being seeing it anyway?)

I do believe his mother is a skank con-artist and if the kid was truly molested, then she's partially to blame.

Not guilty. The mother is a crackpot.

Mr. Television · 06-04-2005, 03:16 PM

He's guilty but he'll get off. All celebrities do.

L&OFan4Eva · 06-04-2005, 03:17 PM

I think it will be a hung jury. It just seems so obvious as of late.

Fleet · 06-04-2005, 03:24 PM

This really is a complex case. And it's hard to predict how the jury will rule.
The best guess I can make is guilty on some counts.

Janice · 06-04-2005, 03:31 PM

I think he'll skate on the kidnapping charges, but will be convicted on a couple of the molestation and alcohol charges.

Boy I HOPE so! Yeah, the kidnapping thing is TOTALLY bogus - but something's very weird with the other things - especially the wine. Why would there be standing orders on all his flights to put white wine in diet Coke cans???? And it sounds like he hits the bottle more than we ever imagined.

Michael Jackson drunk - that must be some sight! (maybe THAT'S the reason his nose is gone....from falling on it too often)!

Choice #3 is poor word choice considering the case, no?

Isn't that what got him here in the first place?!

Anyways. Yeah, not guilty. I honestly do not believe he did it. He's a crazy, twisted man.... but I believe he's innocent.
