Hooray! The whole Jackson Circus is almost over! (At least I hope so...)

Of course, if he's guilty, we'll get six months of "Jacko in Jail" exposes, but...

Not guilty on the liquor charges, but guilty on the lick him charges.

Cant trust the opinion of some druggie ala M. Caulkin

I laughed at how he got the great Oklahoma City "We dont give a flyin' f**k for celebrity treatment during his court appearance for his guilty plea last week

On a serious note, If ANYONE (Be they black, white, yellow, brown or purple with fluroscent yellow hair & red eyes) was to ever molest either my nieces or my nephews I will gladly & publicly be pleading guilty for their murder cause they'll never see the inside of a courthouse

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

unfortunately, NOT GUILTY

GUILTY

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

50/50, but probably NOT GUILTY

I think even not guilty to this exact charge as they will IMO find him not guilty to any molestation charges. This charge, however, includes the lesser and non-specific charge of "furnishing alcohol to a minor" - which he will be found guilty of IMO.

If that is the case, he should count his besslings for the botched prosecution in this case, pay the fine, and then move to Thailand.

Well, I must be the only one here who hopes like HELL the jury finds this sick sick man G.U.I.L.T.Y.

I say get a rope (or at least a rusty knife)

I'm on MSN - it says it's playing, and the time clock is going, but since nothing's happening yet, I guess that's why I'm not hearing anything??

I do not think juries should ever decide any case on anything but the evidence, which here is clearly unsupportive of the prosecution's case. I mean if we let juries consider anything, then what is the point of having them when a lynch mob has the same mentality.
