    Even the documentary guy uses circumstantial evidence.

    According to Reed, the film fundamentally fails to tackle Jackson’s predatory relationship with children. “They’re saying that the reason Jackson liked children is because he’s an angel and just wanted to be nice to children, not that he wanted to have sex with them … Why are they dancing around this? It’s well-known that Jackson spent a long time with small-boy companions, including taking them into his bed at night and locking the door, which is undisputed – and that alone, if someone made a claim, is probably enough to convict him in a court of child sexual abuse – but with Jackson, none of this stuff seems to matter.”

    “And locking the door, which is undisputed”

    Wait, you’re saying the most famous musical artist in the world would lock his bedroom door when he went to sleep?! Even when he was with kids who he acted like were his?? Get out, you’re kidding.

    Even this guy relies on the assumption that Michael Jackson is guilty to start.

    It’s fascinating.

      Everyone (including myself) were so eager to call the weird creepy guy a pedo and convict that I don’t think many stopped to think beyond it. Only now, well past the time he can actually have a fair day do we all realize “wait a minute, some of this may not have added up”. He may be innocent, he may be guilty, we’ll never know. What we do know is that the trial he was given was a sham.
