Do you think the fans will riot, as promised, if he is found guilty?

wow, is it wrong that im so excited to hear the verdict.

strandinthewind · #6 06-13-2005, 02:46 PM

My bet is not guilty on all but the liquor chrages, if those are still there. But, the odds I'd say are 60 not guilty to 40 guilty.

Not guilty, but I was thinking hung jury.

I dunno.

dudden22 · #9 06-13-2005, 02:51 PM

I still think it's about 50/50.

GODDESS6 · #10 06-13-2005, 02:55 PM

they did just say that they asked for a read back of the accusser's testimony, not sure what that could imply, god i pray they say guilty~ i just hope the don't let his celebrity take part in their decision~

Allison DuBois said a couple months ago that the verdict would be less severe than the truth of the situation should require.

I took from the request for the accuser's testimony that they were reconciling the direct contradiction of that by the alleged victim a la M. Caulkin. But, we shall see. The problem with this case is the prosecution put on no really credible witness - every witness has sold their story, been contradicted, etc. So, they are relying on the fact that (1) MJ looks like a freak and (2) it is in general creepy that little kids stay over there - to convict him.

I know, and to be clear I am not hoping that will happen. Just curious if people think they will or not.

Here are the charges:

The 46-year-old pop star is facing judgment on 10 counts, stemming from events that allegedly took place with a 13-year-old boy two years ago:

four counts of lewd conduct with a child younger than 14;

one count of attempted lewd conduct;

four counts of administering alcohol to facilitate child molestation;

one count of conspiracy to commit child abduction, false imprisonment or extortion.
