Re: jackson Verdict
It wasn't Martin Bashir who made the revelation in the interview about children sleeping in MJ's bed. It was Michael Jackson himself. He is incredibly naïve not to have realised that it simply isn't normal behaviour and that many people would be horrified by such an admission. In my mind it isn't a question of whether anything sexual took place I quite simply would be disgusted by any adult male in his forties sleeping in the same bed as a young kid.
Martin Bashir just let Michael Jackson dig himself into several pits and then left him the pick and shovel with which to dig himself deeper in. One other example was when the Jackson family blamed MB for accusing the father of being violent when it was Michael himself who openly and willingly told of how his father used to beat him. He wasn't stupid. He knew that was being filmed. He knows what a camera looks like. He didn't have to say those things, but he did say them. No-one else put the words in his mouth.
As Tinkerbelle says we weren't there when the alleged sexual assaults took place and didn't witness any of the goings on ourselves, neither were we able to hear all that the jury heard and we have no way of knowing who told the truth about the allegations but the childlike Michael Jackson image has been changed forever, not by his accusers or by Martin Bashir and the rest of the press, but by actual facts such as the pornography found at Neverland and by the words spoken from his own lips.
It doesn't make any difference that he is talented and nothing changes the fact that he's made some brilliant recordings and done some great performances but he has also done some very foolish and downright stupid things too. In all of this the people I feel most sorry for are his children. If Michael Jackson's own less than normal upbringing has made him what he is today what effect will their upbringing be having on his children?
