The result of the trail is not an invitation to sleep with children. Frankly, I dont think he molested "this" kid. I do think he has molested countless others though. Take a good look at this kids family and you see a history of deep pocket manipulation attempts. Could both have happened, absolutely. However, all we have is our opinion to make a determination.
That being said, the prosecution screwed up, not the courts. I am not so sure it was MJs money that got him off, then the inept prosecution failing to convict him.
Our laws protect everyone. We are deemed innocent until "proven" guilty. The court of public opinion holds great power though, as you have indicated with the record sales.
If nothing else, I think MJ is off the streets. There has been enough publicity that I think if he has any plans in the future, he will either be hung, or just abstain and relegate himself to pounding his pud.
One thing you fail to mention is any parent who allows a child to stay at MJ's after all this. Frankly, I think a child endagerment issue exists with that decision.
Did MJ buy his way out? If you mean being able to afford the best representation, that is his right. Complaining about people excercising their rights doesnt seem fair to me. Those rights exists to protect the system from railroading the innocent. Unfortunately, those who are criminals can use the same system. It isnt perfect, but I think overall, its a good system.
