I hate it when people think they somehow have some better knowledge of what actually happened (if anything) than the people in the jury who put a lot of effort into going through everything that could actually be proven.
To disregard "innocent until proven guilty" is to throw away the basics of justice. It always scares me how easily people do that, especially when it comes to the worst crimes, which should require the most solid evidence.

You know I really dont want to get into this whole thing, we each have our own opinions of MJ.
However the court cases on both sides are publicly available (google is your friend) and from my viewpoint, it seems like the only reason he wasnt convicted it because he had could through massive amounts of money at the problem to make it go away.
