Well, I guess I'm the only here who thinks there's a chance he's innocent. I know the popular opinion with the public is that he's guilty, but I've gotten to the point where the consensus means absolutely nothing to me. The porn magazine evidence seems weak, as diss already explained. To believe beyond any shadow of a doubt that he did what he has been accused of, I have to have real proof. I'm thinking I may not ever see that, though.

Not that I don't think it's weird for a grown man and a boy to share a bed. But Jacko's done lots of things that I think to be weird, and I don't assume he's a criminal. On the other hand, I know y'all aren't assuming, since there is an abundance of circumstantial evidence and he certainly has a way of saying and doing things that don't help his case.

As for the comments earlier on in the thread about the severity of his crimes (if he has committed them), I have to say that I think he should be punished severely as well, but not as severely as someone who mercilessly tortured, molested, and murdered a child. (I'm thinking that should be obvious). I just don't agree with the assertion that he may have done the worst thing that one can do, because of the scenario I just mentioned. But I don't mean to downplay the harm in manipulating a child into trusting you and then betraying him or her in that way. As someone already said, that will follow a child around his or her entire life.

But am I the only who thinks it's very likely that there's something very wrong with this guy, mentally?
