Whether he was guilty or not the dude was a freak,big time. But,anybody that gets that famous probably has no chance of not becoming a freak,just a sad story.
He's probably out of his misery now,he wasnt just the worlds most famous person,he was known as the worlds most famous child molester,I would not want to live like that
R.I.P. MJ
hope your children can grow up normal,but I dont see how

Unfortunately, I don't have online access to anything other than this old GQ article

Was Michael Jackson Framed?

There's a story circulating today that the kid admitted he lied (but the validity is not confirmed, so not worth posting). I've also heard claims from pretty legit sources that the identification of Jackson's body parts was information that was fed to the kid by other adults who-and I don't know why they had those details-were promised a cut of the millions the father was determined to get out of Jackson. But again, I get why that may not hold much water, if any, to those who really believe he molested children.

I think he was a) without question, a mega-talented performer; the single biggest star of my lifetime to date, and b) so completely out of touch with reality from the start that I can't even grasp it. I think, in many way, he's at fault. If you read some of the biographies on him, you'll find that some of the crazy tabloid rumors about him were started by Jackson himself to keep the publicity going. And it's like if you're gonna get upset when the media says shit about you, don't help them out as well. And, I think, he did things that any normal person would know just isn't appropriate, not illegal but inappropriate.

But, then, a lot also comes down to how do you define molestation. Some would argue that showering the child with gifts and then telling him he could stay the night plays on the child's emotions and ultimately is a form of molestation. Honestly, I can see that point and I won't argue it.

As for his sexuality, yeah he probably was at least bi, and probably more gay than straight. So what? That that should have led to an earlier death for him is a pretty ridiculous thing to say.

(You know, there are gay Redskins too)
