you could just as easily say the parents pressured their kids into the accusation for the payoff. if they really wanted to see justice prevail, considering pblic opinion was strongly in their corner, wouldnt they have moved forward with the trial? unless, of course, they didnt give a shit if their kid was molested, and just wanted the millions.
Thanks Piffy for helping me get off my pixels and do some grunt work..I kinda assumed everybody had a pretty good idea whether Jackson was guilty or not…There is so much circumstantial evidence surrounding this case it’s over whelming..here’s just a taste..If it wasn’t Michael Jackson the rich super star he definitely would have died in prison..
There’s some pretty good info here…

[Ok here’s the condensed version…1993 two brothers said Jackson used porno mags to arouse them and then touched the one brother in the naughty place… Jackson said that’s a lie I didn’t molest those kids..I just shared my bed.. I always lock up my porn around boys..
They raided his compound ..found porno mags with finger prints of the boys on them along with art pictures of naked boys..
Jackson saw the writing on the wall..
Jackson gave them 15 mil to go away
The following is some info I found interesting..
Witness: I Saw Michael Jackson Molesting My Brother
Accuser’s younger sibling delivers graphic testimony.
By MTV News staff report
In graphic testimony Monday (March 7), the younger brother of Michael Jackson’s accuser said that he twice saw the pop singer fondle his sibling at Neverland.
The molestations, he testified, came shortly after Jackson showed him and his brother pornographic magazines kept in a suitcase in his bedroom, CBSNews.com reports.
Jackson’s defense team said the singer does own adult magazines but that he does not show them to kids.
The boy also testified that Jackson showed them sexually explicit Web sites, gave them wine and exposed himself to them.
“Me and my brother were watching a movie and Michael walked up naked. Me and my brother were grossed out,” he testified. “He sat on the bed and said it was natural.”
In both alleged molestation incidents, which occurred two days apart, the 14-year-old said his older brother was lying in bed sleeping while the 46-year-old Jackson touched him and masturbated, The Associated Press reports.
“My brother was asleep. Michael was masturbating while he had his left hand in my brother’s underwears. ... I didn’t know what to do. I went back to my guest room,” the witness said.
He said Jackson had also spoken to him about masturbation, asking if he’d tried it and then insisting, “Everyone does it. You should try it. It’s OK.”
The boy could not say for sure when the alleged molestation incidents occurred but claimed they happened after the airing of Martin Bashir’s documentary “Living With Michael Jackson,” in which the then-13-year-old accuser appears.
Jackson is also charged with holding the accuser’s family captive at Neverland to coax them into filming a rebuttal to Bashir’s piece, which sparked controversy because Jackson admits in it to sharing his bed with children.
The younger brother is expected to take the stand again on Tuesday.
Michael Jackson’s Big Payoff
Agreed to pay $15 million to settle boy’s 1993 sex abuse claim
JUNE 16—Michael Jackson agreed to pay $15.3 million to settle child molestation charges leveled against him in 1993 by a California boy, according to a confidential legal agreement. A heavily redacted version of the 31-page document, a copy of which you’ll find below, was obtained by Court TV’s Diane Dimond.
The January 1994 agreement contains a one-line reference to Jackson delivering “confessions of judgment” totaling $15,331,250 to the boy’s attorneys. However, since the entire eight-page section of the agreement titled “Settlement Payment” is not included in the document, it is unclear how the eight-figure payout was distributed to the boy or what his parents were paid. However, a reference to the establishment of a “qualified funding asset” would indicate that an annuity (likely tax free) was a central part of the settlement.
