Not so Bad after all
In a land where witnesses can be bought, a rich man has walked free. Justice has been served. Michael Jackson is most definitely not guilty of giving alcohol to a minor, still less interfering with a minor in a sexual way. While he's happy to admit sharing a bed with boys, this was merely because they were all tired, and Michael had momentarily forgotten that the Neverland Ranch has at least 11 other bedrooms.
I look forward to the forthcoming trials to discuss the money, rather than the law. One of the great things about America is that you can be acquitted of something in the eyes of the law, and still be sued for doing it.
(Edit: I think I was badly informed on writing this. I'd only absorbed information by accident, not being a big fan and not really caring whether some litigious family had had their son fiddled with. Michael JAckson is NOT a rich man by any standards. While the financial balance of his possessions involves enormous numbers, it's all debt, of the proportion normally associated with emerging economies, or people with infallible roulette systems. And there's no point in sueing the man for money he doesn't have. I bet someone does though.)

All around the world, sensible, rational people were cursing the sensible, rational decision of Santa Barbara Superior Court judge Rodney Melville to conduct the proceedings away from the glare of the court TV cameras and therefore avoiding the entertainment of even more of a media circus than there actually was!
