ok, so michael jackson was acquitted.
and not to be uncharacteristically un-opinionated, but i don’t really have an opinion.
pedophilia is bad. a terrible crime, i believe.
if michael jackson is a pedophile then he should be dealt with accordingly.
if he’s not a pedophile then he should be allowed to live his life without the stain of accusation.
as we all know, acquital doesn’t really answer either one of those points.
i don’t know michael jackson, so i feel distinctly unqualified to have an opinion on the ‘is he/isn’t he’ pedophilia question.
i saw the bbc documentary on him, and his behavior at times was utterly bizarre, and i find it odd that he paid $20 million in 1993 to a boy who accused him of pedophilia, but i have no opinion as to whether he might or mightn’t be a pedophile.
sorry to be boring and un-opinionated.
