What do you think?

It's finally over, maybe he'll keep out of the news a few years now

I think that he never grew up.  I doubt he molested the child/children/whatever, I don't think he's perverted, just plain ol' weird and childish.

Yeah, well so am I.

Opposite of everyone else in my family, I'm glad of the verdict. I think it's insanely weird that he sleeps with children, it's gross too, but it's not illegal. I think the reason he likes children so much and has the amusement park and zoo and such for them is because he didn't have a childhood. When he was a little kid, what did he do? He worked, he basically stepped right into adulthood - and now he's able to relive _a_ childhood through other children.

I wouldn't be surprised in the least if he really did molest or 'inappropriately touch' the children, but in this case he shouldn't have been found guilty. The mother admitted to lying multiple times, and for money, and the prosecution witnesses admitted to lying. If you have a case based on lies, how could you expect to win. With the amount of money Jackson has (it costs him over $1mil a month to upkeep his ranch) he was able to afford any lawyer he wanted, and he could definitely afford to pay off the jury. I wouldn't be surpirsed either if jury tampering did go on, considering the size of the case. However, when it comes down to it, finding him guilty would be detrimental to the justice system. It would show that a case based on circumstancial evidence, and padded by lying witnesses, could win in court. That shouldn't be the case, in criminal court you have to be guilty beyond a reasonable doubt - and he wasn't.
