   Chrissy, your opinion clearly shows that the jury system cant work in the   
   US. Too many people like yourself who are so uneducated that they would   
   allow their mind to confuse suspicion with presumption of guilt.

   I have changed the laws. All of them. Would you like to read the laws that   
   I've rewritten on my own behalf ? I'll be happy to show them to you.

   Wrong. I have never heard a prosecutor complaining that he feels uneasy that   
   the guy he just convicted for car theft or smoking pot might wind up getting   
   raped or murdered in prison. I have never heard them crying out at the   
   inhumanity of such a situation. Instead, there is tremendous competition for   
   the job of prosecutor. People are chomping at the bit to pull the switch on   
   someone, as long as they can get away with it.

   I'd say that it's quite obvious that they are trying to cast him down into a   
   world where he will be killed withing weeks if not days. Every kook with a   
   hardon for fame will be trying to take a stab at him just so that they can   
   make it into the last chapter of his bio, and everyone knows it.   
      
   Thsi is exactly the same way that they murdered the priest - John Geoghan.   
      
   And, as disgusting as pedophiles are, the crime does not rise to the level   
   of murder. Thou shalt not kill - this is one of the big 10. There is no   
   commandment regarding sex - except prohibiting adultery. So the priest   
   commits a lesser crime, and the state responds by arranging his murder. How   
   convenient. This is what they want for Michael Jackson as well.   
      
   It's elementary my dear Watson -
