I wonder in doing his “journalistic duty” if the author merely sat in court in judgement day after day, or, like a REAL reporter, did his own research. I believe had he done his homework, he may have come to a very different conclusion.
Also, I’d like to know why not ONE article on either the 1993 charges or the 2003-5 trial asks any of these people, parents, witnesses who claim to have seen MJ doing these things to children, WHY DIDN’T THEY IMMEDIATELY GO TO THE POLICE?
I think we know the answer to that – because it didn’t happen.
MJ was acquitted because jurors had a “reasonable doubt” — that’s what they said immediately after the verdict.
This so-called reporter was there — and doesn’t seem to know that.
Talk about strange!!
It wasn’t because of the defense attorney — it was because of lack of evidence!!!! The jurors said so themselves — that’s how it works in the good ol’ USA judicial system.
You really are a moron.
I’ve been reading up on a lot of this testimony and it is so far-fetched it is beyond belief.
For the rest of the people who stumble on this article (I did because it linked me from Vanity Fair) — the boy in 2003 had been staying with MJ and traveling with him on countless occasions and it was only AFTER the Bashir interview hit the airwaves that the boy claims MJ whisked him away to be fondled and molested — haha — what a disgusting joke!!!!
So — AFTER their are public accusations — and MJ NEVER touched the boy before — MJ suddenly decides NOW is a good time to molest this boy when the public spotlight is on me – - what a freaking joke!
Those people destroyed a beautiful, wonderful artist and a man who truly cared about people, children and the world — and those of us who actually do RESEARCH into all these allegations will NOT allow hack journalists to try to smear his legacy with the continuation of horrid – UNPROVEN allegations.
I’m reading a VF article from 1994 — nearly 10 years BEFORE those creep’s horrid allegations — and his attorney then said that MJ shared his bed innocently with hundreds of children.
Funny how in all that time — it was only two people who said it was a problem – - and both wanted millions.
NO — they didn’t want to stop a suspected pedophile from doing it to other children – they just wanted millions of dollars.
That’s a pretty good clue right there — that nothing ever happened.
RIP MJ….we KNOW you are in heaven now!

How superficial and mean can someone be, even after a person’s death? Don’t you have any respect? And why was Dimond “THE expert” during the trial? Just becaus she was the prosecution’s mouth and only said bad things about Michael, forgetting about THE TRUTH? And, finally, why don’t you admit you are ashame of your character and that you now have blood on your hands, seeing that you contributed to Michael’s unhappiness and ultimately to his loss? I hope God forgives you…but will you forgive yourself?

“As helicopters hoover over another black man”…..tell us, what was the relevance of this statement?

And OJ and Michael apart from being high profile cases, where is the relevant parrallel as we hear about Michael’s passing?

Why is somebody from channel 4 not covering the boy whose father first tried to cash in on Michael and we keep hearing snippets that he reported his father for assault whose own mother was against the accusations made by the boy’s father

Well, I was under the impression that when a court & jury find someone NOT guilty, that means NOT guilty. After reading your blog, I wonder if you are implying that the Courts were wrong, fraudulent or, down right incompetent?

There will be as much of an industry around MJ’s legacy as there is for Elvis Presley…

MICHAEL JACKSON R.I.P…a tragedy beyond belief…his illness orchestrated by lies, deceitful media scandles, wrongful character deformation and unfounded controversy that ultimately claimed his life..Michael’s truth will be revealed…He survived on medication and pain killers like myself…i have always maintained he had far reaching problems with his skin/health, miss-construed and not believed by millions. Today I come out from “my shell” to confirm I have fought vitiligo for 28 years…it has been hell living with the condition, the abuse and insults I have endured from “narrow focused selfish people amongst communities. I am 80% de-pigmented of which 20% is via Q-Switched Nd:YAG Laser Treatment that removes pigmentation that gives me milky white skin…uniformed…so I could live a near normal life. Through stress and strains, I became a victim and suffered a heart attack just under 2 years ago. i am now registered as suffering from Ischaemic Heart Disease…past 28 years I have suffered numerous physiological issues and immense pain… fighting Sciatica and battling against Spinal Osteoarthritis…my life is equal to hell…day to day i strive to survive with medication and pain killers. This was Michaels life as well…too complex to be true as believed by millions. today I live-on…sadly and very unfortunate, or perhaps lucky for Michael, he his free from torment…I realise now how lucky i am..Michael is free from the burdens of thousands who contributed to his death. Good luck and god bless Michael…may his sole now rest in peace!
