Michael Jackson might get locked up
 

Tune to Good Day. Jackson was supposed to be in court at 10:30. He has not arrived yet. 1 more minute left.

He arrived just over an hour left. Supposedly he was at the ER with back pains. Court TV is reporting the judge has not decided to lock him up. Personally I think, he won't last in jail. He is actually wearing pajama bottoms in the courtroom!

Commentator on Michael Jackson:

"He showed up for court late, which is not normal. He was wearing pajamas, which is not normal. Molesting little boys is not normal. The more Michael Jackson strays from looking normal, the guiltier he looks."

That person has some serious issues. Every time he has to go to court he suddenly feels sick and has to go to the hospital. Boo hoo!

Michael Jackson is looking like a hot a$$ mess right about now. He ain't comb his wig or nothin'. I want to know what is wrong with him. Either he is just actin like there is something wrong with him, or there is more than the "flu" going on there. There is so much "extraness" going on in this case. Like Michaels people are trying to turn this into the hugest publicity stunt ever.

I'd like to see a picture of him 2 months after he's been in jail when that nasty ass perm is grown out and the crayola people arent working for him anymore. :rolleyes:

ROFLOL! I'm mad no one put him together before he came to court.

He needs to be locked up. Not necessarily in jail, but a mental institution.

He's got major psychiatric problems.

When I heard he was in pajamas, I had to check out the picture to see if he at least had bunny slippers on ;)

Maybe that's part of the plan. :rolleyes:

That dude has major issues.

What I have heard is that his legal team is in a real bind. Michael wants no part of this and apparently fired Geragos because he insisted that they not go to court. And when they went to court he fired his lawyer.

Part of me is so angry that MJ thinks he is above the law. But more of it is I think he is so far gone. I mean beyond even a mental institution. He absolutely needs to be put away. Period.
I also think his family doing absolutely nothing for him when he started to freak out years ago is borderline malpractice. They have a humanitarian responsibility to get him help. But then again if he is their livelyhood then I guess it's not black and white.

Or, this could all be a master plot by his attornies to get him institutionalized instead of jailed by reason of insanity. Though I do think he's clinically insane.

The whole thing is tragic but also really pisses me off.

I think that they are going to try the "insanity" plea if it comes down to that. I also know that if he infact does get sentenced there is no way that they are going to be able to put him in a real jail. He will probably get sent to something like Martha Stewart. There is no way that Michael would survive one night in a REAL jail. I think something needs to happen to him and I think it needs to happen quickly. This whole case could be the one that "breaks the camels back" persay. I think his mental state is so fragile that this trial could really push him over the edge. He needs immediate psychological attention. Sometimes part of me thinks that Michaels "people" are exploiting his condition to make this into a real big media blizt and make this whole thing bigger than it really is to bring more attention to the case. Michael depends on these people that are close and I think that some of these "people" may not have his best interest at heart. I mean think about it....they depend on his income to keep their income going. I don't know part of me just thinks that all of this "extraness" can't be blamed on Micheal all the time.

I'm probably an evil person for even thinking this, but I would really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really like to see Lisa Marie Presley called to the stand - even as a hostile witness! It's already a circus, may as well haul all the crazies out!

My mother said the same exact thing today.

I have been flipping to Court TV every so often this afternoon. They have pulled out the psychologists to "discuss" his mental state. I have to agree, I think he is being pushed over the edge...thus the strange behavior. He is using up his "passes" with the judge and jury....they really do not like defendants who are late.

I also am wondering if he is "getting sick" to try to draw some sympathies back on him, especially with the accuser on the stand. Maybe he is concerned about not getting enough attention.

I agree.

Some wag on the radio asked "Did his pajamas have feet in them?"
(It is probably wrong to laugh, but I did anyway!)

America loves Michael so much that we actually let the first kid slide. If you really think about it, it's our fault he abused another one. Sometimes I just look at him and say to myself...."Not again. Damn, yo, not a-fucking-genn." Face it, his creamy peter pan lookin ass isnt going to jail. They'll put him in a mental home before they send Michael Jackson to prison.



There's a whole new meaning, to me, when I here that song "Don't stop till you get enough" :D


Anyone ever see that infamous interview on 60 minutes?


-"Michael, do you think its normal for 45 year old men to sleep in the same bed with little boys?"

-Michael Jackson...."Yesssssss"

:rolleyes:

Okay...are you coming over to clean off my monitor that is now covered in Sprite!;) Post some kind of warning next time.... ROFLMAO!

Ooops! Sorry - on my way with the virtual dishtowel.:)

HOLD ON!

BACK UP!

Michael is innocent.

None of you see that because you're white and eat white bread and drink white milk with a side of white rice and live in white neighborhoods with white houses and get married in white dresses.

This is all about opressing a people. And when you constantly harass this genius, this king of pop, I say, then you are a member of that system. He chooses to be different. He wears a glove. He has a monkey. He never grew up.

So back off!

-Rudey
--Michael is the last great piece of Americana besides denim jeans and you will not destroy him!

Were you listening to Billy Jean when you wrote that?

He was late again!!



Testimony on sex abuse victim behavior heard - After late arrival, pop star appeared to shake, sob in court

Monday, March 21, 2005 Posted: 4:49 PM EST (2149 GMT)

SANTA MARIA, California (CNN) -- Changing stories and fuzzy details on specific dates are consistent with the way children who are victims of sexual abuse behave, an expert testified Monday at the Michael Jackson trial.

But under cross-examination, Anthony Urquiza acknowledged that his expertise did not extend to false allegations of sexual abuse, which he had not studied.

The testimony came as prosecutors in Jackson's child molestation trial tried to shore up earlier contradictory statements made by the pop star's accuser.

Jackson arrived late again Monday, walking with assistance into the Santa Maria, California, courthouse. Jackson offered a weak wave to supporters as he arrived, then made his way inside.

Santa Barbara County Superior Court Judge Rodney Melville, who threatened to jail Jackson after a similar episode on March 10, pushed ahead with testimony after a 45-minute delay.

Once he took his seat in the courtroom, Jackson seemed to be in distress, shaking and sobbing. At one point, appearing as if he might vomit, he got up to leave, putting tissues in front of his face.

As testimony resumed, a doctor was sitting behind the pop star. No explanation was given in court for Jackson's illness or his late arrival.

Jackson's health issues have delayed his trial twice before. In February, he was briefly hospitalized with the flu, delaying jury selection for a week.

On March 10, suffering from what his representatives said was a back injury, he showed up more than an hour late for court, wearing pajama bottoms, after Melville threatened to revoke his $3 million bond..............

Full Story

He is a weird man. He really has shifted the focus of the trial though. Now people aren't talking about the molestation, they're talking about his dramatic entrances into court.

interesting tactic if you think about it, at least in the court of public opinion

I feel bad for him. He seems to be really depressed. I think he has always been that way but it is really starting to show. I personally think that he is innocent to some degree. I do not think that MJ views himself as a man. In his eyes, he is a boy. So why would he not want to be with other boys. I am not justifying any unacceptable actions that could have happened. But I do not think that he should be looked at as a molester. We have seen his entire life, so why are we making him look like a deranged criminal? He does not need a jail sentence, he needs some real professional help.

He is not like those other molesters that are sick in the head and dreams of having sexual relations with young boys. I really think that he sees himself as a little boy. It is like a 50 year old wanting to be young again, so he hangs out with 30 year old or something.

That's the second funniest thing I've heard all week. :D

Sweetie, you just defined a child molester!

IMHO, I honestly don't think that Michael Jackson thinks that he's done anything wrong. He doesn't realize how odd he acts, how bizaare his behavior is perceived.

I just hope that, if a celebrity CAN be convicted, he's not in the general jail population. He'd last about five minutes there.

I kind of understand where smiley is coming from, although I do think he's sick in the head. It's too bad that he is as talented and has had as much musical success/money as he had - if he was some average Joe working at CVS he might have gotten some help before he went around the bend.

apparently before this all came to a trial and the allegations were put out there his celeb friends tried to pull an intervention on him to get help and to say hey stay away from kids and he just refused from what i read somewhere. I tend to think too he doesnt see what he has done is wrong. He wont last five minutes let alone a minute in central prison. Maybe they will put him somehwere where he can get some serious help.

Michael Jackson is really a master at this kind of thing.

Salon.com did an article a while back on how Michael has always played up his "weirdness" for publicity's sake. Some of the people quoted in the article even speculated that he had manufactured the child molestation charges for the attention. I'm not sure I buy it, but it's an interesting premise.

http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2005/03/26/jacko/

Either way he's cracked -- either he's molesting kids, or he's telling people he's molesting kids for attention. Neither one is normal.

That said, I have some major misgivings about the parents of this kid. They're perfectly happy to let him hang out with a man who's been accused of sexual molestation because he's giving them lots of expensive stuff for free? That's not exactly normal behavior either.

almost over.............

in my opinion, i think michael is guilty. but, i believe he will be set free.

Ditto.

After all, he has the best defense money can buy... even if he mortgages himself (and his properties) to the eyeballs.

There are a lot of "criminals" who don't think they have done anything wrong. A lot of women convicted of the munchor (SP) by proxy syndrome do not think that they have done anything wrong, but yet they try to poison their kids, ect. I am not saying Jackson is guilty or not guilty, i just have done research on the phycology of what goes into the women involved in this disease and i believe that what these women do, ie denial, can be attributed to mental problems and that these mental type problems can be exhibited in different ways in different people. With a basis of deniability that they have done nothing wrong. Of course i am simplifying things.

With all that i do agree with the statement why would parents let their child go stay that night with Jackson. I mean, free stuff is nice, but sleeping in someones bed is just weird and I would question a parents own mental problems with thinking that it is okay to let a young boy go stay with a man, especially in todays society.

Munchausen-by-proxy syndrome. After the character in the Adventures of Baron Munchausen, notorious for spreading tall tales and outright lies.

and it's spelled psychology.... (sorry, pet peeve of mine...)

Actually, speaking of psychology and Michael Jackson...whaddya think of the recent trips to the ER...the last one was for "back pain"?

"Poor me, victim" role...or "Damn I ran outta oxycontin again!" role?

Those Axis II Disorders are a bitch, aren't they? :p

PsychTau

Guilty.

Child molesters are not tolerated in the joint. Don't drop the soap Mike.

Just out of curiosity, what are you basing this on?

And the prior 'charges' leveled by this kid (and his mother) - how do you reconcile those with your second point, about 'the joint'?
