It's not a matter of liking him. It's a matter of your not understanding the most basic idea of the American criminal justice sytem: if a jury is able to reach a verdict, it is either guilty or not guilty. There is no finding of "innocent". I'd explain the reasoning behind that, but I can never seem to get you to understand subtle issues like that. You'll just come back again and say, "But they found him innocent!", so I won't even try.In the case he was just through, the witnesses and their motivation were highly suspect, and the prosecution didn't have its act together. If they did, they might never have brought the case, given what they had to work with. Jackson may well have been innocent of the charges that were brought (although that has never been proven).Do you see O.J. Simpson as having been found innocent? This will be at least the fourth time it's been mentioned, without comment by you. (O.J. Simpson is another widely-hated celebrity.)But that all begs the issue of his attraction to, and sleeping with, young boys, and his paying money in the past to keep people quiet. Not to mention the baby dangling thing. (I don't know on what basis you think he was secure; he wasn't strapped to anything.)
