The Magician went on to say that they should be fired for what they did. HE said that journalists are supposed to report the news without being biased.
Why are these folks comparing this to OJs case? (Now) I am soooo glad there were not any AF AMs on that jury.

I didn't follow the MJ trial at all so I'll assume justice was done, but rather than Nancy Grace, I blame the networks that put on obviously biased hosts/reporters. She is entitled to her opinion--I just don't need to hear it every segment of her show, particularly if she's supposed to be hosting a news/information show.
OJ's case further exposed the chasm of race which people would rather pretend doesn't exist than deal with for what it is. A policeman gave the best summation of the Simpson case I've ever heard. He said the OJ case was like the office pop machine that everybody knows is broken. You put your money in, kick it, and get your pop. Everybody knows the deal, but the day the black man kicks the machine, now folk want to get all "brand new" and complain about the machine.

Yawl know yawl lubbs me........  
I was wondering if he was suffering from psyatica(sp), because it seems that everytime he's stressed he is in the hospital with back problems and stress does play a role on the psyatic nerve....

If they had put R. Kelly in jail by now then singers would be scared to even hug children.

I actually thought Mike was headed to jail. I guess they proved me wrong. I mean, if R. Kelly has never served time and he's had little girls do lewd things to him, Mike isn't going away. Whose bad? LOL

That really peeves me. Anytime one of THEM brings up OJ, I have to remind them that Robert Blake killed his wife as well. Baretta is not in jail either.

R is in a whole 'nother boat..i don't know what is wrong wit dat boy...Some call him the Marvin Gaye of our age (y'know he liked them young too).
Sigh...Michael go sing your song "Leave me Alone" and behave please...don't want to see you on the news for awhile..

Honestly, I also thought Bleachson was headed to the hole. What I hope comes out of this case is that he must stop hanging out with young boys. Step away from temptation, as it were.
And I just don't see the comparisons between Ohhhjjjj and Michael's trials.

Yea me neither maybe it's just the cash. It can't be gender or race. One's a black man and the other is a white woman.

I wasn’t surprised that MJ was found not guilty. Child molestation is hard to prove. Several of the jurors that I saw said that he was guilty of something but they didn’t know what. They felt that the prosecution didn’t prove the case beyond reasonable doubt. One said that they found him not guilty but few thought that he was innocent.
What I did find funny about this whole thing is the jury. The judge read a statement saying that the jury wanted to be left alone and go back into the world as anonymously as they came. Well, ol’boy hadn’t put the paper down yet and all these people were jetting off here, there and yon for interviews. Even the grandma with the sex offender grandson, you know the one who said, “Don’t be snappin’ your fingers at me, lady.” Well, she has a book deal in the works already and the juror in the wheelchair has one too. He said that his would be really interesting because he could provide insight as to what it’s like to be a guest at Neverland and later serve as a juror.

I will personally provide counseling services for the price of concert tickets.  Seriously, MJ, leave the little boys alone. Take your kids and go to Europe where you will get much love. You were lucky twice. The third time WON'T be the charm!!
