As a parent, I wouldn't allow my young son to sleep in the bed of a 40 year old adult. Lots of parents do lots of things they shouldn't do, that I wouldn't do. Just because we have irresponsible parents and MJ was able to exploit their greed, that doesn't give him a pass in my mind.

What pass? Why believe these irresponsible parents over MJ?

Are you serious or did you just say that to give me some mid-day laughter? Are you a defense lawyer by any chance?

Jesse was solid during the civil rights movement, but he hasn't aged well mentally.
And he's made a living selling nothing but hot air every since then.

I'd never heard of PETER KING before yesterday,so I guess his ploy worked...we now know who he is.

I guess you don't have an answer..You labeled these parents as irresponsible but you'll assume that they aren't greedy enough to lie for money..

I was laughing at your question. You assume MJ is more credible?

Sure, I think those parents are irresponsible, and I think they deliberately sold their children as sexual playmates to MJ or deliberately put them in that position. I think it was a quid pro quo. The parents were willing to sacrifice their children for millions of dollars.

This country is messed up because we ignore the law when its inconvienent.
No I think that when you say your found not guilty means your innocent. Guess your the guy who was with OJ looking for those real killers.

I don't know if he harmed any of those kids or not, but I definitely wouldn't let my child go to Neverland Ranch.
