Who Believes Michael is Innocent? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

SBTB Geek · 11-21-2003, 12:41 AM

I do, especially after FOX News revealed some very interesting information regarding the case.
FOX News stated that the child who brought on the allegations is in fact, the cancer survivor from the ABC/BBC Bashir interview. A few months ago, after the child began to get healthier, Michael stopped supporting the boy and his family entirely. The family did not like this, and contacted the lawyer [plaintiff] from the original 1993 case for some help. Obviously, they went on and pressed charges.
IMO, they are just pressing charges to get back at Michael Jackson, they feel betrayed.
After Michael helped this kid to get rid of his cancer, this is how they pay him back. Remember in the interview they revealed that the child's father was not around, now all of the sudden he is here giving interviews, and playing as the victim. Us Weekly reported that Michael tried to help the family by giving the dad one of his older cars- a Ford Bronco, so the dad can get a job.

Up to now I believe he is innocent.

Theres already tons of posts on the subject. You're opinion doesn't deserve its own thread...you're not special.

LILFACE23 · 11-21-2003, 12:45 AM

You should have put a poll on this one.
As for me, I believe he's guilty.

Mr. Television · 11-21-2003, 12:49 AM

He's probably guilty. If not from this one then others. Hopefully a trial will settle this once and for all.

LILFACE23 · 11-21-2003, 12:51 AM

Unfortunatly I doubt it, not with the defense team he has. We can only hope that justice is served this time around.

Actually, SBTB Geek is posing a specific question and creating a new topic.

In the Current and Music boards everyone is giving their opinions on the issue. I don't see the need for another topic about it. Wouldn't the point of even posting the articles be to discuss it and voice your opinion on it?

He's guilty.

Janice · 11-21-2003, 01:00 AM

Unless I hear some damning evidence, I'm not going to automatically assume he's guilty. It's quite possible he's being sandbagged because he has deep pockets. Time will tell.

Michael is an oddball no doubt, but that doesn't make him a child molester. He's childlike himself because he never had a true childhood.

I'm keeping an open mind as things unfold.

You're right, we should wait for things to unfold. But I think alot of people just have a gut feeling that he's guilty. I know I do. Maybe I'm wrong.
About the money thing, I could've sworn I heard on t.v. recently that he was close to filing bankruptcy. Is that true?

Each board is separate. I moderate only this main section of Chit Chat. I only see a joke thread about Michael Jackson, an announcemnt of Jermaine Jackson on 20/20, and now this.
I don't monitor other boards and don't count their threads in my tally. Current and Music have their own moderators.
If I see multiple similar topics on the main Chit Chat board, I'll merge them.
Otherwise, things are fine the way they are.

Mr. Television · 11-21-2003, 01:10 AM

Michael Jackson is a tragic figure. I still see him as a member of The Jackson 5 and wonder what happened to him. I don't know if he's guilty or not although I have a hunch he might be. The people around him should have told him years ago to stay away from the children. If he would have done it, this wouldn't be happening.

EricIdlefan · 11-21-2003, 01:37 AM

Guilty! Guilty! Guilty!

DetectiveGriffin · 11-21-2003, 02:09 AM

I havent an inclination one way or another, because I'm not in a position to judge anyone. If he did it, I indeed hope he goes down hard for it. I know a lot of people hate MJ because they think he is a freak, but too many in the media are making this the issue. A lot of people are acting like, "I hope he did it because I really hate his guts anyway." It's really embarassing that the media is so immature.
It's always been obvious this is a person with a lot of emotional issues; that doesnt excuse any wrong doings, but everyone's always saying how America is the most kick hiney country in the whole wide world. It doesnt seem that way when they can plaster you all over the tv and ridecule you without proof.

Of course the authorities have what they deem to be proof, you know - but the media doesnt know jack. They "guessed" the charge before it was confirmed, now their guessing the age, relationship, and even gender of the child. Ive tried not to pay much attention to the goings on, but in the early hours of this, the media was spouting off some of the most off that wall crap that it wasnt even funny.

Whats even worse is that we all may have to hear about this non-stop for the next 2 friggin years!!!!!!

Jrnygrl · 11-21-2003, 02:10 AM

Wait a minute the last time I looked I was living in America. Isn't it innocent until proven guilty???? Stop letting the media tell you how to think!

I have a friend who is currently being accused of something he did not do, nothing like the MJ case, but he has been framed because he blew the whistle on some illegal stealing of funds, and now he is fighting for his life and the whole incident has ruined his family life.

So I say wait until the evidence is all on the table.
