Sad Day for the Entertainment Industry

O.J. wasn't convicted of murder either.

Until the civil case against him.

The problem is MJ is/was convicted by the Court of Public Opinion. Personally, I don't want to be a part of it. Crimes against children are inexcusable but I was not at the trial(s), nor have I read all the transcripts in detail, so I cannot conclude that he is guilty. All I know is what I've heard second hand. It equates to lynching, in this case figuratively, but we all know it's happened literally in this country more than enough. I generally don't believe in absolutes but I have to stand behind our system of justice - flawed as it may be, it's still one of the better ones around.

MJ was obviously mentally tortured & certainly did some extremely weird stuff. Did he have inappropriate behavior with children? Possibly. Did he molest children? Maybe. But I simply don't really know.

Conversely, I personally don't have enough real evidence to know if his accusers were trying to extort from him. He certainly would have been a target for such things, but again, I can't come to that conclusion without (all) the facts.

BTW, I'm not a major MJ fan. I do recognize his musical talent & contribution and see a loss there. I also feel for his family, but I'm not weeping over it like he was some kind of hero. My thing here is the principle - convicting someone without knowing the whole story; not just at the court level but also in every day life.

So enough of that.

David Carradine?

Holy crap, that's right. Forget Ed McMahon (sorry Ed), the 3rd was David Carradine. How soon one forgets, Grasshoppah...

relax fellas, I just saw MJ with Elvis.  They were getting the crap beat out of them by Bruce Lee

I thought it might be James Brown for MJ stealing the Moonwalk.

Very true but when you pay witnesses or Victims Millions of $$$ not to testify  there has gotta be something there.

Dan,
Unbelievable find, talk about torture!  That is one of the funniest wrong things I've ever seen.

No doubt, not so good for credibility...

One of my all time favorites, which for some reason youtube doesn't carry:

"On a scale of 1 to 10, how old is Michael's boyfriend?"

I keed, I keed!

That is the weirdest thing I have seen in years!

Turns out the guy that runs the prison has his own youtube channel and makes the inmates perform all sorts of musical routines. Very strange.

...still grieving about Farrah   She was a brave soul  

Mahi, that u-tube cracked me up

"Prisoner Number 17B28, you ARE NOT a convincing ghoul. Five days in the hole!"

THAT IS WRONG ON SO MANY LEVELS!

But how come the girlmanthing is out of uniform????
