Just been looking through Yahoo Search, found lots of news articles regarding Michael. Most of it is horrible lies, and especially that new Smoking Gun article. Makes me sick.
I'm scared. Whether Michael Jackson is found guilty or not, he is going to have a hard life. If he's found guilty; he doesn't necessarily have to be guilty of the CRIME, many innocent people are imprisoned every day, then he'll go to prison and that will be the end of him. How could he possibly stand to be in prison? Away from his children? Away from everyday norms? If he's 'found guilty', people will automatically say "yeah..he's definitely guilty...shoot the son of a bitch".
In my heart, I believe he is innocent. I don't know Michael, I don't personally know anyone that DOES..but being a fan and all, I think we know a lot more about him than the general public. The public don't hear about his charity efforts or his humanitarianism. All they hear now is the way he looks, "oh LOOK his nose is falling off!" (one of the, possibly, lamest jokes I have ever heard). Because he looks weird, because his "skin colour has changed", does that make him guilty of sexual molestation? I think not. 'Weird' people (what's normal?) should have just the same amount of respect as anyone else. Innocent until proven guilty, I say.
Missing the point here. I, as a fan, feel I know Michael better than the average Joe Blog. If Michael is found guilty, I will STILL not believe he is in my heart. As I said, innocent people are imprisoned everyday. It is not until I see evidence to my satisfaction, that I will believe he is guilty. But if he's found innocent, people will say "oh he got away with it again". Michael can't win either way.
There are consequences to this case too. Say Michael is found innocent (which I pray to god he will, it's SLIGHTLY hard to find a jury that are unbiased towards Michael Jackson). Imagine all of the hundreds of thousands of children that ARE being molested right now. It'll knock their confidence by ten. A publicised trial, a 'guilty' man of sexual molestation..found innocent. Those children will not have the confidence to cry for help. Many children are not being believed, not being listened to, even now.
I pray to god Michael Jackson is found innocent, but I can't help but feel saddened at what might happen if he is.
