OJ was found not guilty too, but he did it.  Same for MJ.

But with OJ, there was more concrete EVIDENCE to support the theory that he really killed Nicole and Goldman...He got away with it due to OJ's lawyers(and a cop's stupidity in uttering a racial slur) successfully using the "race card" along with conspiracy theories. 


With Michael, however, there was absolutely ZERO EVIDENCE that he did what people allege he did.  From the day I was born, and to the day I pass, I will ALWAYS take the Court of Law's decisions over the Court of Public Opinion 100 out 100 times.  And the term "Innocent until Proven Guilty" is there for a reason.   MJ was proven INNOCENT and that's the end of that.  I'm sorry that you feel otherwise, Smitty but INNOCENT is INNOCENT. 



  I didn't follow the MJ trials at all, but isn't ZERO EVIDENCE kind of an overstatement?

Call my post tasteless but I honestly couldn't care less about MJ.  I think he was incredibly overrated in every regard.  He was a good dancer but I don't think he was anything special in any other regard.  I wasn't even a  big fan of his hailed voice.  I think there are many more talented musicians out there who get no respect but hey whatever. 

Also, I find it incredibly funny how he was crucified and now he is mourned.  The same thing happened to Elvis.  The point of the matter being that people in our society can't seem to make up their minds.  I offer condolences to his family and fans but quite honestly I do that out of respect for him and his family rather than respect for his career.  Peace.

TP for honest opinion, even though I don't share it.

A bit late with the news, but it seems like his death was indeed a homicide... at least that's what the coroner is saying at the moment:
