Do you think Jacko was guilty.....

Somewhat of an unfair question. I wouldn't let anyone I didn't know personally and well (unless they were a professional child carer with references) look after my children (if I had any). So no I wouldn't have, but not because I think he is a child abuser but because I don't know him. I wouldn't let you look after my kids either, purely because I don't know you.

^^ This. I don't have any children but it would be my answer if I did. In fact, I'd be seriously concerned for any child whose parents gave any other answer.

He's as innocent as OJ was.

Well I like to base my opinion on what I actually know. In this case then I don't know enough (and, in my belief, no one other than those involved know enough) to give a yes or no opinion to the OP.

Of course that doesn't answer in anyway whether he's guilty or innocent, a pity really because in an ideal world it'd be great to automatically assume true justice always takes place, and then that would be that.

And another reason why I refuse to give a yes or no opinion, given the way that money can make anyone innocent then the result of the court case can't convince me either way.

This is a better description of the option I want. My opinion is that I don't care. However, given enough evidence, from either side, then I would make a judgement based on that.

As far as the parents taking the money and running thing, I think everyone has a price, everyone. Another point of view is that those parents have brought the accusations to the media spotlight. They know he's going to have the very very best legal help money can buy. Their children/families face what is probably a very lengthy, very public and very dirty court process. Or they can take $20m dollars. I'd be thinking very very carefully, seriously. There's all kinds of justice, not just the legal kind. Do I think this is what happened.....I have absolutely no idea.

Do I think he's guilty? Is a childlike, naive, misguided adult capable of child abuse. Of course they are. He managed to get married twice and have his own children, he's not all that naive is he.

A fair point. You wouldn't want me looking after your kids. I can barely tend to our newborn

They ain't his kids, they are as white as I am. I know you get the mix sometime where black people end up having a white child but to have three of them? He may bring them up but I'd bet my house there's no jackson dna in them (From a birth point of view)

Whether they're they're made from his boy juice or not, they're his kids.

Oh yes I know, I just don't see old Wacko as a sexual being at all and I for some reason I can't imagine him having sexual relations with any one or any thing including children. I suspect that if viewed by totally subjectively then some of his behaviour could have been considered borderline unacceptable, like sharing his bed with children but I don't suspect anything that would not be considered unacceptable with his own children.

Other than dangling them off a balcony? Yeah I know I know, not paedo, but wrong all the same!
