Good job ICB. This case has a calming effect. Michael Jackson has NOT held any news conference yet. But Sneddon already thanking his sheriffs and staff in doing such a great job. Hello? Anybody home?
All the yahoos have disappeared. Let Jackson and his brothers go on a world tour and get back into making music.... sweet sweet music.
Diane Dimond is now yakking LIVE on TV and minimizing DA Sneddon's press conference.
I don’t think MJ will be in a celebratory mode after this. Although I’m sure he’s grateful he learned a lesson the hard way. It seemed after all the numerous warnings it may be the only way for him to have learned it.
After hearing much of this family’s accounting, I don’t think any reasonable jury could have come to any other conclusion. I’m sure some of them believe MJ was probably guilty of some of those things but given this family’s character coupled with their ridiculous stories in that courtroom, the verdict was seen coming a mile away.
Governor Bush on Kosovo war exit strategy in 99 ” Victory means exit strategy, and it's important for the President to explain to us what the exit strategy is."

Thank god for the last line of defense with the smart jurors in the MJ case. And there were no blacks deciding this case either.

Funny how all the hundreds of legal pundits couldn't see it coming.
She predicted that Michael Jackson was going to be convicted. She's now eating crow sandwich.
I like Jack Ford. He's fairly objective. Provides great case analysis. Walks that fine line while on the air. Makes a good lawyer you want to hire. I always liked her. She was sitting on the fence for a long long time. Then she lost her objectivity on Court TV and likewise predicted that MJ was going to be convicted. I still think Crier is better than Nancy Dis-Grace anyday. Okay, Crier is entitled to this one time mistake, before I write her off like Nancy.
Need I go on and on with all the Foxnews analysts and Diane Dimond and the rest of Court TV folks too who are all wrong. Hahaha, they're all a bunch of idiots. They should all be fired.
She's the best legal pundit out of the crowd. Very tactful and makes a great lawyer for both sides. I would consider hiring her before any of the bunch above. She's the only one saw it coming that Michael Jackson has a chance at reasonable doubt.
Well, Well, Well so Michael Jackson isn't guilty. Now Inreview needs to replace this thread with the Saddam Hussein trial that is coming up. I'm going to request this in the next thread.

I'm glad he was found not guilty. I believe he's inocent mainly because I think it's even more likely that he's a target for opportunists. He's naeve, and he's obviosuely looped up on pain killers (hence his constant pain, trips to the hospital, inability to really tell the difference between winning an award and presenting one, walking into walls, and dangling babies). I think if he goes through treatment and then finds some perminant solution to his face, he could continue making music and performing for a long, long time. Like James Brown.
Please pardon my pseudo-intellectuaphilisophicalismysiticality.
From the case presented by the Prosecution, there was no other verdict the Jury could have come to. They should've stepped up their game a little bit if they wanted to win this.

Many will sum this up as a celebrity getting off, but I don't see how you can come to that conclusion looking at the prosecution's case and the fact that there was too much reasonable doubt to convict.
I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody.

I don't think this is a case of a celebrity getting off where a lesser person would've friend. The prosecution royally ****ed this whole case up, they could've got him if they had tried each thing individually, and not had a million charges for molestation, then the kidnapping and the underage drinking, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, all tacked on top. It got to the point where there was so much extra stuff going on, that I almost forgot it was a child molestation case. I think had a normal person had such incompetant lawyers, then they would've been aquitted too.
If Rusell Crowe goes to jail for throwingh his phone and Michael gets away with this, there is seriously something wrong in the world.

The jurors unanimously declared NOT guilty on all 10 counts. Michael Jackson walks out a free man today.
