His parents portrayed themselves as the supportive proud people that they wanted to be seen as, yet in reality they were pushy sadistic bullies,. of course they are going to rally around their son and stand united through troubled times...most families do!

I AGREE WITH YOU GRAMPS.WHY WOULD HE RISK IT WHEN HE KNOW HE HAS THE PICK OF THEM.HAVING THE STARS KIDS TO STAY AND LEAVING THEM ALONE MAKES HIM LOOK INNOCENT. THANK GOD MY KIDS HAVE NEVER BEEN NEAR HIM , I WOULD,T BE ABLE TO SLEEP AT NIGHT

How do we know for sure that his parents were pushy sadistic bullies?? How can people say that everything said about Michael is a lie but everything Michael says about his parents is the truth?? Michael already proved himself to be a liar when he denied having plastic surgery. Shaz xx

the man is mentally ill,and i dont believe he will last,the full length of the trial...i would not go to bed,with my neighbours young son... bryan.

The majority i believe, do think he is guilty, he will be convicted, he may kill himself yet i, like many others believe he IS INNOCENT,

I agree with Brian and Bill .... sort of... You see he does appear to have the mentality of a child and if he was admitting to this and thinking that he had just been playing some sort of game then I'd say poor guy really couldnt help it and he needs psychiatric help. But denying it if its true shows cunning and not immaturity. Shaz x

Thanks Bendy - really!? l only heard it the other day on tv, must admit all l heard was something about the boys mother changing her name. Was her christian name always Janet?? jude sarf wales :o)

I don't know whether Michael Jackson is guilty or innocent of paedophilia. That is why he is on trial. Not in favour of trial by what I read in the papers/a rumour I heard/what I think about his parents. He may or may not be a paedophile. I do think that he is mentally and probably emotionally ill and needs help. His behaviour is inappropriate and probably stems from his childhood, which was not an average one by any standards. I've always thought with his plastic surgery and total transformation from how he used to look that he was trying to be Diana Ross. If he is found innocent then he will still be tarnished with the 'no smoke without fire' label. If he is found guilty I expect many more people will come forward and say he abused them, and some of them will be just wanting to make money out of it. nell

'Let He that is without sin, cast the first stone!!'

Why is it that because its Michael Jackson so many people want to play the .... Its such a shame, he is mentally ill, he has emotional problems etc. Yet if a Guy from down the street is accused of the same thing then he is just a dirty pervert who should be hung by his bits.. It goes without saying that anyone who does this to a child is mentally ill anyway. Yes I guess in my heart of hearts I think he is Guilty but then so are all the people that have covered for him. And if he really is mentally ill then yes I do blame his parents too I guess as they should have made it their responsibility to be there to guide him and prevent things like this happening. Shaz xx

Paedophiles are very select in the children they pick,I know this to be true as I know a family very well that their father and uncle only abused the 2 middle girls.they didn't abuse the eldest or the youngest. He is guilty but the childs family are making the most of it hoping to get a grand sum of money out of him. But as he is nearly bankrupt they will get very little unless he is made to sell NEVER NEVER LAND. Sue

Thankyou Linda.... I was starting to wonder if I was the only person who found it strange that we dont hear of too many girls going to the ranch. Also on the Bashir docu... does anyone else remember him saying how Mcaulay Culkin would stay over and he said... Mcaulay and his brother would be in the bed and their sister would be 'over 'there' also in the room but 'over there' So he didnt mind boys in his bed but not girls ??? Shaz x

GUILTY AS CHARGED! Dave

Peter that may be because you are wired up right! Bob

In America is it Guilty until proved innocent?

Proven or not the man is GUILTY, he is Perverse, I don't believe Hollywood, Fame or whatever you want to call it doe's that to anyone, its in them and Fame and Money allows him to get away with it, look at how 'His' kids are being bought up, he has Plenty to hide, (including his Money)

Every time I look at him I feel so sad that a young handsome black boy should end up looking like that. In the beginning I thought that perhaps because he was a celebrity that he was being 'hit on' - now I am definitely not so sure and if he used his position, power, money to molest children then I hope the punishment fits the crime.

Wow I only nipped away to make myself a hot drink and I come back and lots of things have been said... I think it was out of order the way Michael had to make such a dramatic entrance on the day the lad was to give evidence and for him to sit there crying and dabbing his eyes with a tissue were pure manipulation tactics. Lots of Victims have at some point been very fond of their abusers and following the abuse they dont all suddenly begin to hate them. I think Michael knows this and was trying to play with the boys mind by looking so pitiful. I felt sorry for the kid. Shaz x

Guilty

Linda it works both ways though.... Michael sat and blatently denied having plastic surgery when it is very obvious that he has. Shaz xx
