Verdict didnt suprise me one bit, regardless of whether he did it or not, they could have had a video of him doing some kid and would get away with it, thats how it goes when you have money.
Look at this, endangering the welfare of a child. If a regular person is even accused of it with a half credible witness then the courts take away their children and they go to jail. MJ held that kid over a railing AND was caught doing it in a picture. still, no punishment, because hes rich. its bullshjt. no regular joe could get away with that.

I saw that on the news, he was thinking of selling his rights to the Beatles and Elvis but this move would hurt him somehow too. I think he would have to pay an unbelieveable amount of taxes if he sold the rights, or something like that.

Now that's bull man. They just didn't have a case. Let's say someone sues you for something, you settle out of court. Some other money hungry b****es see that you settled so they sue you for the same goddamned thing. The more it happens, the more it will happen.

That's the whole problem!!! They had no credible witnesses. MJ had several folks that had stayed at his place, as kids, testify, as adults, and they all said he was a good man and nothing ever happened. The mother was found out to be a habitual liar, they had tried to extort Jay Leno for money too, and the kids had even admitted that they had lied, UNDER OATH, before.

While it wasn't a bright thing to do, I grant you that, it's not endangerment by the rule of law. That's why nothing happened with it. Hell, I've done that with my dog before. No biggie. He was a proud father showing off his kid to his rabbid fans.
