Michael Jackson

[truesunn]

Umm...  Sibs?  Not to say I believe he's truly not guilty, in fact I have not followed the trial and evidence and so I have no worthwhile opinion myself, but what of any brothers and sisters here who believe in his innocence?  Why does this have to be a miscarriage of justice?

I realize the chance of him going through this twice while being truly innocent is slim, but we really shouldn't assume the worst anyway when our courts aquitted him.  After all, didn't the jurors hear just a bit more than we did?

Of course I wouldn't trust any of my kids (if I had any) to be alone with him, but I'm just sayin'...

You must however agree, if it were some everyday Joe like you or I, we'd be hanging from the gallows right now, so to speak...

He paid off the last people to drop the charges because he was going to be charged guilty

I pray he gets saved before he leaves this world. Otherwise, he's going to face a judge who has all the facts.

Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;

Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness;

Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Isaiah 5:20

Vengeance is Mine, and recompense;

Their foot shall slip in due time;

For the day of their calamity is at hand,

And the things to come hasten upon them. Deut. 32:35

He hasn't gotten away with anything. Justice will be served. I hope he enjoys is money and fame while it lasts, because that's all he will have.

In Christ,

CarolineS

Did you hear the oxymoron of a statement one of the jurors said?

She said well that lady should have had more sense than to send her son go out to Neverland in the first place.

Will someone please tell me whats wrong with that statement? Sounds like she knows Michael is guilty but blames everything on the mom.

WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Im so mad right now at that lady!

Just a little something for any who may be holding bitterness in their hearts for perceived misjustice (again, I am not going to judge our system- he made it through and was acquitted by a jury of his peers and so is no longer to be presumed guilty. That's how the system works in America. I seriously doubt anyone was "paid off"). Oh, and no I don't agree that the everyday joe would be hanging from the gallows, unless of course he were assigned an attorney by the court- apparently they are trained to negotiate a settlement by any means rather than try the case. My friend had one of them once. Anyway:

1 John 3:11-18

For this is the message that you have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another. We should not be like Cain, who was of the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his own deeds were evil and his brother's righteous. Do not be surprised, brothers, that the world hates you. We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers. Whoever does not love abides in death. Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.

By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers. But if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God's love abide in him? Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.

And please don't presume that I think he's innocent- I don't. I don't know all the facts, but again the jurors did (though which facts were lies and which weren't...). As you say, if he really did do those crimes he will be judged as any of us are judged for our sin.

My daughter is a big MJ fan. So I have heard all the details of the case..in detail...sigh...

Look, I don't know if he is really guilty or innocent, but as I told her when she was waiting for the verdict to be read today....We must remember that the jury has been listening to all the testimony given, they have weighed the evidence, and they have made their decision. We cannot only think the systen works when it works out the way we think it should come out.

I listened to the interviews with the jury after the trial.. They semed like nice people who did their best with what they had. I guess the DA just didn't make his case.

God knows the details. It is all in His hands anyway. May He get the glory no matter what.
