MICHAEL JACKSON'S LEGAL FOLLIES

This has been a strange week from Michael Jackson to the killings in Atlanta this morning.
Yesterday, Michael Jackson had his “back” pain and nearly got himself thrown in jail and his bail revoked. It would seem that Michael is having a melt down of titanic proportions and may not make it through the trial.
Now I realize that most people already have found him guilty before the trial has had a chance to finish and this is the way of our country. Mostly he is being judged because he is weird and anyone this weird is doing something wrong. Is that not of way that most of us think. Of course it is, but perhaps Michael is not guilty of anything more than being the weirdest celebrity currently on trial. This is for certain, the news and entertainment media is having a wonderful time with this ratings getting story and they will milk it for whatever they can.
I watched an interview with Michael Jackson which was done by Geraldo Rivera nearly two weeks ago and Geraldo came away with a “maybe he is innocent” comment after reviewing everything in this case. I believe that from what he learned, Geraldo sees this as a shakedown of huge consequences. I like Geraldo and respect his investigative skills so I listened a little more than I normally would to a reporter. It does seem rather odd that before these people contacted law enforcement authorities, they had contacted two civil attorney’s and a psychologist.
Now if you or I had a child that had been molested by someone I am pretty sure that either that person would be beaten to a pulp or that police would immediately be called upon learning of the situation. This is why it seems a little too contrived for it to be simply parents concerned for their son.
In addition, if these people knew about all of this and continued to let their sons stay with Michael, then they should face legal consequences as well, either neglect or more severely for prostituting these young boys for the money and glamour that Jackson foisted upon them. No amount of money or glitz is worth the soul of a child and that is what they did if Jackson is guilty.
I also believe that their has been something wrong emotionally with Michael Jackson for his entire life. Mostly through the abuse of his father, but also by those around him who did not get him help when he obviously needed it, so they could be within his financial presence and share in his lifestyle. Perhaps an intervention and psychological help in 1993, could have gotten him on a different path and allowed him to live a fairly normal life, but no one cared enough for his well-being to do this for him.
Michael Jackson is probably one of the most talented people in the 20th century, but as talented as he is, is in proportion to how emotionally frail he seems to be. The best that could come out of this is if he is convicted that instead of a normal prison where he would not make it, he would be sent to a mental facility where he could be treated for the numerous problems that plague his mind, so that he could at least understand why he cannot be allowed to walk free again. Also why he should never be allowed to stay anywhere alone with children if he is ever released. Whatever finally happens I hope that sends a message to celebrities or anyone with money that you cannot commit crimes and get away with it anymore. The O.J. Simpson injustice should never be repeated again, no matter who they are. We all know that O.J. butchered his ex-wife and after the slow speed chase he should have been blown away by officers instead of being given a chance to give up and get off. Everyone of his scumbag attorneys will burn in hell for their part in the travesty of justice which occurred when he was found not guilty by that pathetic excuse for a jury which will burden legal history for quite a long time. I do not mean to let off the prosecutors or the judge for they as much as released him with their incompetence and for that they can live with the fact that they allowed a killer to walk free.
We need to find a better system of justice because this one is fatally flawed.
