OK, so it is well established that Michael Jackson has lost whatever mind he once had. Other things aside, what was he thinking telling the documentarian that he STILL sleeps with children? Even if this didn't involve any inappropriate touching, how whacked out of his mind must he be to talk about it in public, given his history? Could he possibly not understand this? How?
His big special on Fox last night didn't help. He might besmirch the character of the documentary maker Martin Bashir. The big point of defense was that gee, this Bashir guy was sucking up to him while he was filming, and he didn't say anything to indicate how weird Michael would look in the final production.
Yeah, and your point is...? Michael came off like a freak because of the things HE HIMSELF said, not because of some "trick" from Bashir. On top of which, Mr. Jackson has been telling real obvious BIG FAT LIES in public in recent months, starting with the Tommy Mottola stuff, and continuing with his ridiculous claims of having only a couple of little bits of plastic surgery. Right. At this point, you simply can't believe a word the guy says. The big question when he talks now is how much of it he believes himself.
All hope is not lost, however. I think I have a solution for his accumulating mental and financial problems.

not guilty

Yeah, yeah. "Not guilty" does NOT mean innocent. Not having enough proof for a criminal conviction does not mean that he's not in fact a serial pedophile.

That's in the court of public opinion all.
A little aside: Newspapers most often use "innocent" instead of "not guilty" to reduce the likelihood that "not" might accidentally get erased.

I'm still liking this solution.
