I tend to agree with that because I don't think they'd have gone to all this trouble for nothing. It sounds like they'd been waiting to pounce again ever since Jordy Chandler was paid off.

Presumably they couldn't act until someone else complained.

We have no idea what they found when they raided the Neverland ranch but it must have convinced them it was worthwhile going ahead with things.

I don't think they'll be able to find people who haven't heard of Michael Jackson in the very least and presumably also will have heard of the previous complaint and pay-off and quite probably the Martin Bashir interview too. What the members of the jury will have to be able to do is judge only on the evidence presented to them in court and not on any preconcieved ideas which is going to be tricky.

Personally I feel that so far we have no evidence that he has abused any child physically or that he has had a sexual relationship with any underaged youth, but what we do have is a man in his 40s going to bed with (even if that only involves sleeping with) young boys to whom he is not related and at least one of those boys has seen him naked and been able to describe his anatomy in enough detail to convince the police that he has seen him naked.

Now for me that is just not acceptable. It's not normal and it shouldn't have happened.
