Subject: RE: BS: Michael Jackson INNOCENT?!!!
It's a semantics thing. Perhaps we do mean the same thing, but the fact Tug took issue with what kendall said made me think not.

Everybody's presumed innocent. MJ was, I was, you were. None of us did it. The prosecution's job is to prove the accused is guilty of a specific crime. When they fail to prove guilt, they do not prove innocence. He started out innocent and nothing changed.

Do I think he did it? I don't know. People have a habit of singling out oddballs and accusing them of all sorts of things. He certainly was damaged, but whether that made him turn around and become a predator or someone who just needed to be with non-threatening people, I don't know. I AM quite sure I don't much care for the 'pick on the weird guy' mentality.
