sad for his family and his fans. i wish him peace wherever he is!
but on the other hand i dont really understand that hype..actualy i never understood. maybe his career is just to "american" for my taste. i dont like that "bigger then life" stuff...he was a great dancer and performer and he wrote some great tracks. but call him "genius"? the biggest popstar? soooo talented?
i dont know...

If I remember correctly, MJ and OJ were found not guilty in their respective trials.

TMZ has the 911 call up. It sounds as though he was gone before the ambulances got there.

Y'know another thing I don't understand is if he went into cardiac arrest and being such a celebrity and all, why didn't they give him an adrenaline shot to try and save him? Course maybe they did and we'll find that out in the coming weeks.

Here it is - it's from TMZ. They always print stuff first, because they don't have to bother with confirming it, like the "real" news.

I never believed Michael guilty in the first accusation. I always felt that was a case of someone wanting to get rich. He was very close with that boy and family for a long time and if I recall, it's when he tried to stop giving them help that they turned to accuse him.
Yeah. I used to think, like everybody else, that "where there's smoke there's fire" but if you step back a bit you have to consider that there is really not one scintilla of proof that MJ ever fondled or molested ANY of those kids. I think he "settled" the first case to make it just go away and in the one case where he was brought to trial he was acquitted. I would also think that if he really was "like that" there would certainly be more kids who would have come forward by now, especially the famous ones like Macullay Caulkin and Cory Feldman who both strongly deny that MJ ever molested them. Sure, he was one messed up dude and sure, a grown-up shouldn't be climbing into bed with kids that aren't his but maybe, just maybe, he simply loved children in an innocent way. Who knows. We'll just have to wait and see what comes out in the next few years.

I don't think CindyC or Voodoo ever said these things. More care should be taken when quoting posts.Quote

Did anything ever happen to Elvis' "Dr. Nick"??
Hey TOOMUCHFORME.....please don't minimize child molestation as a "mistake". It's a long way
from what Billy & Pete did (i don't know what Waddy did).
To realize how evil child molestation is....you need to think of it in graphic detail.....and
imagine this man-child peter pan freak touching your little boy after giving him "jesus juice".
please....pull your head out of the sand. yes..his music was great but so what!?!?Quote

ANd you pefectly knows how people tried to steal his money .....

Forgive me. I'm quite punchy from lack of sleep and so perhaps have less than my usual amount of decorum. Sometimes, no matter how grim the situation, one has to make a joke about something. My family and I were cracking jokes hours after mum died, jokes she would have laughed at, even though they were at her expense...Quote
