Michael Jackson’s acquittal

This man’s life has gone from one high to another with great lows in between. He was so cute as a kid, and very talented. A great singer. Now he has been acquitted, and good luck to the jurors who acquitted him. I thought they’d not reach a verdict, but with all my information filtered through the news media, I believe that the picture we all got of what was going on at the trial was not accurate.

As for Jackson himself, where will he go? He has massive debts that can only be settled by selling Neverland (I’ll bet that whoever buys it turns it into a freak show, with tours of Jackson’s bedroom happening every hour on the hour…), selling the rights to music that he has bought, and generally trying to restart his career. In this time of rap, what will he do? How will he make any money?

Personally, he has now had two second chances. This is his opportunity to do whatever he likes, but be mindful that this kind of trial may happen again. He should consider the public relations angle of being so chummy with adolescent and pre-adolescent boys. If I were him, I’d ensure that all my bedmates (chaste or not) were well above the age of consent and could prove it in court.

I wish him all the best in his future life.
