This thread reminds me of the movie "12 Angry Men". Its an old movie about a jury trying to come to a decision on convicting someone of murder. There's the guys who are completely convinced that he's guilty, guys who don't want to condemn a man without being 100% certain, and guys who are going back and forth based on evidence presented.
Same thing is happening with people and what they think of Michael Jackson. At the end of the day, we are all just speculating at this point anyways. There are a handful of people that know the truth, and who knows if that will ever come out.
All I know is I can't condemn a man of such horrific crimes unless I'm 100% sure its true. MJ deserves a lot of negative feelings and spite if the molestation allegations were true. If not, then him and his family deserve a massive apology. But until we hear the cold hard truth, this is all just speculation based on our personal biases and perceptions of what went on.
