If I were a betting woman, I’d wager that the jurors will find the pervert Not Guilty on all molestation-related charges.
But I’m not, so I won’t. Perhaps justice will prevail.
Update (4:44 p.m.): Verdict annoucement changed to 4:50.
4:53: Waiting…
4:59: Still waiting. The networks have pre-empted regular programming.
5:03: Michelle is on riot watch.
5:15: Jackson was found NOT GUILTY on all counts. Told ya. So a grown freak man with a lot of money who “sleeps” with young boys will continue to do so and get away with it. He should be strung up in the public square, along with the parents.
Too nauseated to blog. Going offline.
The Therapist keeps things in perspective with humor. He writes: “Single mothers with dubious parental skills are said to have flooded NeverLand ranch with overt requests to have their children occupy Jackson’s bed, ‘just as soon as the radiating glare of Tom Sneddon’s hatred is finally abated.’”
Now I’m going offline.
Update II (9:30 p.m.): Just heard a Jackson juror speaking in Spanish to a reporter. Can she speak and understand English, and if not, why was she on the jury? I’d call for a mistrial. Hat tip: Michael Savage.
Perhaps we need a Star Chamber for pervert cases.
Update III (11:55 p.m.): Commenter Sensible Mom writes: “About the spanish speaking juror. One of the reporters from a spanish station asked the jurors a question (in English) and then asked if the jurors would respond in English and then in spanish, if possible.”
Fair enough. I guess I’m a little jumpy, given the overrun of illegal aliens in America, bankrupting hospitals and government schools, and President Bush cooking up a plan to allow them to remain while others who waited years to immigrate legally and become American citizens can’t do anything but watch the plan unfold.
