/and LMFAO at the "he didn't get convicted = he didn't do it," argument. Yeah dude, that's why he paid off like a half dozen other families. The ones that took him to court just got greedy.
but, your perspective is proof that people aren't convinced by what an official ruling finds and therefore proof that being found innocent in court isn't as important as making people shut the hell up, whether you're innocent or not. unless your life doesn't depend on public opinion. he was such an easy target for that sort of thing, it's pretty much impossible to know what really happened.
Know beyond a shadow of a doubt? You're right, that's not possible unless I was there and saw it. Now we move into the world of "knowing behind any reasonable doubt." Less stringent than knowing with 100% certainty. Going off that criteria, then I feel comfortable in my thinking that MJ had most likely molested children.
That's the great trick of the court of public opinion after all. We the public are free to form our own opinion, but we have no legal power of enforcing a verdict. Meaning I can very well hold to my opinion of MJ diddling with children, I just couldn't go kidnap him and toss him in a homemade prison for 20 years.
At the end of it, when somebody comes up in a court charged with a crime, they're rolling the dice. If they have a good lawyer and get lucky with a sympathetic jury, they have a good shot at getting off the hook, regardless of whether or not they actually committed the crime they're charged with. More power to 'em being able to work a flawed system. It's still separate from public opinion though, so people will still draw their own conclusions about whether or not somebody did it.
Me, I look at it like this; if I had kids there would have been no way I'd let them hang out with MJ without my direct supervision if I'd let my kids near him at all.
