You know what? I think that Mrs. Jackson, by sheltering Michael SO much, set him up to fall for something like this. Mrs. Jackson is such a huge overbearing presence that she puts herself in front of celebrities that you would be shocked to see bending down to her wishes. We're talking huge big names that have to play by her rules, and her rules are whacked! They are like "child playground rules." She treats everyone like they are 5 years old. Adult superstars aren't trusted to handle telephones. Honestly. (This is not an analogy. She did not trust people like ***** using the telephone in Michael's home studio so she had the phones removed.) Her rules were so strict that I believe, if the house was on fire, the fire department would have to call her and ask permission to put the fire out.
Anyway, I think OJ was as guilty as sin but I believe that Michael Jackson rightfully was acquited. Michael Jackson has lived an incredibly strange sheltered life, but I don't believe he is a child molester. If I had kids (boys) I would let them go over to Michael Jacksons house for a slumber party. Michael's really harmless.
