I don't even know what to say...
Michael Jackson - not guilty on all counts.
I'm curious now to hear from the jury. Did they really think he was not guilty, or did they just not have enough evidence to erase reasonable doubt? I have no idea. Honestly, I didn't follow the case other than media snippets here and there. My gut said he was guilty. If not of molestation, at least of inappropriate behavior. I don't need to rehash all of his "oddities" here - we all know what they are.
I mourn the Michael Jackson of my youth. The man who sang "Billie Jean" at the Motown 25 Special. The man who made it okay for high school boys to wear one white glove to a school dance, I'm thinking of one particular popular boy from my class, and me still think they were cool. That man's been gone for quite some time.
Will anyone ever listen to his music again and not at least wonder?
I just hope that the jury did in fact reach the right decision. That hope stems not from concern for MJ himself, but for those 3 innocent children still in his care.
