And there were also many people around him who stand to gain financially if Jackson's repuation stayed as positive as possible (or would lose a lot if his repuation was harmed). Money can pretty much buy a repuation if you wanted to look like a vicitm.
For all the people who want to take Michael Jackson down because of his fame, there are at least as many who want to give him the benefit of the doubt because of his fame and talent. The same benefit probably wouldn't be extended to a talentless hillbilly living in a shack by the river.
