And from my viewpoint he wasn't convicted because the evidence was hardly convincing, the only solidly proven things being that Jackson was a weird guy, which we already knew. And it's not like the prosecution didn't throw money at the issue too.
But let's put this another way. It's widely known that the accusations devastated Jackson mentally and had a crushing effect on him professionally (and financially). Despite being acquitted it's obvious he suffered greatly. And now he's dead.
The point of continued internet vigilantism escapes me.
What the hell do people want at this point?
In comparison Charles Chaplin had
publicly well-known and trivially provable thing for underage girls, but I don't see people shouting "pedophile, pedophile" every time his name is mentioned.
