Michael Jackson Verdict?

[blueroses]

They''ve reached a verdict.....should be read around 4:30 EDT, 1:30 PDT.

What do you guys think will happen??

 

[ammayernyc]

So sad that I''m so interested...

I think it will be a mixed bag -- there were so many charges, I would be surprised if he was cleared or convincted on all of them. My guess is that he''s cleared of the molestation charges but convicted of some of the lower ones...

 

[jenwill]

I agree with Amanda, but who can really figure out waht goes on in those jury rooms...

 

[lmurden]

Thirty more minute!

 

[Blue824]

On one hand I think he''s such an easy target and these people are so sketchy, but on the other hand there are too many stories...I dunno, I actually feel bad for him.

 

[MINE!!]

I admit.. I am interested too...

I have my own opinion on what will happen. But I don''t think it is going to be the popular one.. so we will just have to wait and see what they say.

 

[blueroses]

I totally agree Blue824!! Throughout this I''ve thought he''s clearly a weirdo and possibly quite guilty, but somehow I''ve recently begun to feel sorry for him too--if he''s convicted I imagine he''s going to literally disintegrate before our eyes.

I mean--he''s certainly not *normal* but if he is indeed a pedophile--and maybe he is--I wish that the DA could have found better plaintiffs, b/c their credibility is seriously suspect.

 

[ammayernyc]

I''m also guessing that he will not show up at the courtroom on time...

 

[blueroses]

I just flipped on MSNBC and there is an ariel shot of his "motorcade" en route to the courthouse. It''s all very reminiscent of OJ for me, somehow.

 

[MINE!!]

Yeh Blue.. That is what I thought of.. OJ.. when I saw it. have it on live feed right now.

 

[Kaleigh]

I just got home from taking my daughter to see some colleges. This is very reminiscent of the OJ verdict. His daughter Sidney goes to BU where our friends daughter goes. She gets in fights all the time with kids. I feel sorry for her. I also feel for Michael, it''s sad. He''s a mess and I can''t see him making it through prison. I do think he is guilty though, who knows. There have been too many accusations.

 

[MINE!!]

I think he is off his rocker... but maybe so off his rocker that he didn''t molest children.. just off his rocker enough not to grow up and be an idiot. The problem is that the I don''t think the prosecution was about to do as much damage because of the ''iffiness'' of the family who accused him of it. BUT HEY.. I may be wrong!

 

[Kaleigh]

Yeah, who knows??

 

[MINE!!]

oooohhh.. I saw Janet J.. I have not seen her there before...

 

[ammayernyc]

Any details? I don''t have a tv in my office and the webpages are pitifully slow at refreshing!

 

[MINE!!]

They just cloesd the courtroom doors.. NOw the real wait.

 

[AChiOAlumna]

No news yet...it''s about 1:55 pm and the verdict hasn''t been read yet...court doors are closed, but that''s it...

 

[MINE!!]

OK... You know.. I am a confessed MJ fan.. I love his music. But I do not understand the people people weeping for him and going nuts outside the courthouse.. even BEFORE the verdict is read..

 

[Kaleigh]

The jury is walking in now.

 

[MINE!!]

HEY>>> WHAT FEED YOU WATCHIN? Tellme where.. I see weird people outside... no jury!!

It''s per report of the newscasters...no one has cameras in the courtroom...ABC (Channel 7 in CA) will have a live audio feed to play once the court comes to session.

 

[MINE!!]

oh... cnn.. I am listening to and watching Yahoo video..

 

[MINE!!]

Wasn''t there someone who was going to release white doves for every NOT guilty verdict?

 

[AChiOAlumna]

Early news rumor...the jury was NOT hung on any count...there will be a verdict for all counts...

 

[Kaleigh]

CNN. They said to listen to count 1 and count 2, if they go Michaels way then that''s good. jeffrey Tubin says they are the most important.

 

[MINE!!]

oh my..

 

[MINE!!]

DANG.. gotta go pick of the kidees
