So they didn't find Michael Jackson guilty. Agree? Disagree? Sure we have in previous postings concluded that MJ is kind of weird (to put it mildly).
Was it his "star power", complete lack of evidence etc etc that did it?
MJ innocent or what ...

I think none of the public will ever know what /really/ happened. I think that the verdict came back not guilty because there wasn't enough evidence to substantiate a guilty verdict, or there was enough "reasonable doubt."
With as many cases/allegations that have been brought to against him, I find it hard to believe that people aren't just bandwagoning for some cash. MJ has payed settlements to a few families who have dropped charges/lawsuits in favor of money. Granted, he is extraordinarily weird, but that doesn't conclude he molests children. Neither does a not guilty verdict conclude that he didn't. We'll probably never know, but I won't be surprised if another family files criminal charges or a lawsuit.
Personally, I don't care that much about it one way or another.

I always agree with the jury. If the jury said not enough solid evidence to convict, then I agree an acquittal was proper.
I've never met Mike. I've never met that kid either. And until I do, the only information I'm ever gonna get is from the media - and they're not exactly the best source for always-accurate information. If that big of a jury unanimously agreed on something with that much direct relation to the case, then I agree with em.
