Hate to see anyone pass at such a young age but I can't think of him as anything else. I realize he was found not guilty in our courts but from what I understand two stronger cases never made it to trial and he settled out of court for huge amounts of coin. The evidence was very strong against and I can't see why he would payout millions if he was not guilty. Thoughts???
Considering how much his trial cost him and he had to sell Neverland because of the debt, yes I can see why he paid the millions out instead of going through more trials and high paid lawyers.. Do you think anybody would have wanted to go through repeated trials that would have cost more money in the long run? I know if I had that kind of money I wouldn't have gone through it. He basically paid those people off and as far as I know didn't have anything to do with kids again, except for his own. No matter what the media said, or the people who KNEW they were going to get the money out of him because the time was right, it doesn't mean he was guilty. And so far I've never seen anybody come out with outright proof of his guilt. So no matter how you feel about him or how weird he is, his presumed guilt is still assumption, not fact.
I think that's part of the tragedy his life became. Pedophiles aren't born, they're made. That's true almost without exception. Sometimes it's because they themselves were molested and it's their way of subconciously re-enacting trauma, and sometimes it's because of other deep-seated psychological reasons. Whatever the case, Michael Jackson was a deeply disturbed person, very messed up.
I can't stand the person he became and what it seems at least somewhat likely he did, but for right now I'm just going to listen to some old Jackson 5 and think about how good he COULD have been.

For all of his deep psychological problems that he's had the last 30 years with his morphing into something completely different looking, his immediate family should have stepped in a long time ago before all of this took place. I know he was a grown man, but this strange behavior had been going on since he was 20. The only reason I can think of why nobody around him said anything is because his family is probably as dysfunctional as he was.
i dont think so.......ive been wrong before........i dont think he had sex with those kids..........i do believe as strange as he was he liked their company........he himself had trouble with the real world and enjoyed being a kid..........and enjoyed the company of children.........for their honesty and purity(hopefully)....he may have been a sicko but we would've heard about it before or stuff on inet.........soliciting children..........at one time he was a rich cat........he couldve got kids from anywhere(poor kids from mexico or wherever) and had all the dirty sex he wanted.........i dont think that is why he hung around kids........i think he did it because he could be himself and not deal with the real world
I think GoSooners and Steak Tartar summarized the situation very well.
I believe one of the parents was heard on tape (from memory, could be wrong), "I got him, we are going to cash in."
I do believe if he was as guilty as some believe, many people would have distanced themselves from him.

well, we don't *actually* know if he was a child molester.. in fact, plenty of evidence suggests otherwise, including his psychological profile from one of the top leaders in the field.
but what we *do* know, however, is that you (kind sir) have admitted to committing long-term adultery during your prior marriage.. correct?
just sayin' since the judgments are flying 'round and all.
