The Offical Topic For Tributes to Michael Jackson

[Dylan]

I guess so yes.

 

[varundbest]

my personal thinking is that he was a criminal so no tribute to him from my side....

What happened to "Innocent until found guilty", he was never found guilty, so is innocent and is well worthy of a tribute.

RIP MJ, you were a great musician, one of the greatest in fact.

R.I.P MJ

Does anyone else think this is all overated? he was just another human being, who had a very dubious past.

he was just a pop artist, "pop" meaning popular , he was just a succesful "pop" artist, thats it, Im bored of it allready..

sorry, just my opinion,.

 

[Dylan]

Its not like he is is Princess Diana but he has millions of fans across the globe.

 

[TheSponge]

he does, but thats all hype. he was just a pop star, one with a dodgy background as well.

 

[Jaloko]

Its quite sad he died so early.

R.I.P, Michael Jackson!

He had good songs but I have no sympathy for paedophiles -razz-

RIP Michael...here is my tribute page for people to contribute tributes/condolences too... http://michaeltribute.proboards.com/index.cgi

And he wasn't a paedophile. One boy admitted to lying, other family didn't proceed with charges once paid off in an out of court settlement, odd for a family who supposedly care about their son. On all counts, Michael was found not guilty.

Not in America, just a quick correction.

Innocent and not guilty are two totally different things in the American legal system.

Not Guilty Does Not Mean Innocent
All too often when I listen to the radio or read the newspapers, I hear or see "at arraignment, the defendant pled innocent" or "the defendant was found innocent by the jury." The word "innocent" is being misused. "Innocent" cannot and should not be substituted for "not guilty."

"I do not rush out with it. I preface it, slowly and carefully, in an even and solemn voice: A verdict of "not guilty" can mean two entirely different things. It can, of course, mean that you believe the defendant (I would use my client's name) is innocent. However, it can mean something entirely different. A verdict of "not guilty" can mean a verdict of "not proven." Even if you are very sure the defendant is guilty, but the state has not proven it "beyond a reasonable doubt," then it is your sworn duty to return a verdict of "not guilty."

I never really liked him but he was good at what he did and will be missed. Rest in Peace >:

And those who think he was guilty; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/People_v._Jackson - most children testified he didn't do a thing.
