Sorry, my comment earlier in the 3rd sentence I meant to say "just because someone accuses you of something it does not make you guilty - yes? Just because a court lets you off - that does not mean you're innocent either so neither argument can be used to prove MJ's innocence but the FACTS CAN!
I just feel so frustrated I forget to check the grammar before posting.

Oh my Goodness I can't take this cr**p no more. When will you people look at the evidence - it is not hard! Just because someone accuses you of something does not make you innocent - yes? Just because a court lets you off - that does not mean you're innocent either so neither argument can be used to prove MJ's innocence but the FACTS CAN! The media frenzy surrounding the first allegation made MJ's legal team and Insurance company think it was impossible for any Jury to return a fair verdict at the time which is why they forced Michael Jackson to settle out of court. He did not want to at first, he wanted to fight the allegations but even the court was against him by allowing a 'civil' suit to go ahead before the criminal one. As all of us 'educated' people know, the burden of proof in a 'criminal' case lies on the prosecution but that is not the case in a civil suit. The burden of proof required in a civil suit requires that the plaintiff (the accuser) prove their version of the facts is “more than likely” to be true. This burden of proof varies greatly from the one required in a criminal case. If the civil suit was allowed to go ahead, then only a majority of the jury need believe the allegations and Michael would have lost. Given the biased reporting of the media, it would have been extremely difficult to find a jury that was not affected by it. In hindsight it would have been better for Michael to go to court, he would have won, but given the situation at the time and the apparent willingness of the court to go against Michael, he was forced to accept the recommendations. It was already affecting his health (as it would anyone). That is the only reason the Insurance company decided to settle - it was not Michael's decision as people tend to think. The second time around Michael was not going to give up so easily. He took it to court, presented his defence and it was easy to see his innocence - the liers were so transparent it was not hard to see their true motives. The court saw it, the jury saw it and while the verdict was being announced "INNOCENT" which is the perfect word to describe Michael, at that moment, the media had already decided that he was definitely going to get a guilty verdict. I remember watching an American news channel at the time and a female journalist was making a bet that Michael would be "GUILTY". I am sure she was sacked that day. It is not the MJ fans that should irritate, it is the ignorance that always seems to be a characteristic of the anti-Michael comments. I have yet to see one that is legitimately backed by facts. If you are interested in learning about the truth, read Redemption by Geraldine Hughes and The Michael Jackson Conspiracy by Aphrodite Jones. At least read them as well as the garbage you are reading now and judge for yourself. By the way, that documentary, Michael Jackson "What Really Happened" if full of crap that is easily disproved.

Hi "Freddy". I find it difficult to understand people like you who have the hide to criticize fans of Michael Jackson and making claims as if they were fact. Your ignorance must be blissful to you but it is shocking to us. Everyone knows that NO CHILD PORNOGRAPHY WAS FOUND IN ANY OF MICHAEL JACKSON'S PROPERTIES, even though they were seached while he was away. What they found was deemed by a Jury and the court as "completely innocent". Do some of your own research instead of relying on TABLOID FAECES for your source of news. The only reason Michael Jackson was not charged was that they could not find one shred of evidence to support those claims that were made by two money grubbing families who took Michael's generosity and repaid him with a dagger in the back. I was not a huge Michael Jackson fan but I was intelligent enough to have recognised the rubbish that was reported by a very biased media for the sake of RATINGS. Am I being slow enough for you or do you need a dictionary? If you are intelligent enough you can read some real facts, like the court transcripts that reveal how the so called 'victims' dug their own holes by lying and they were so easily discredited that many who went to convict Michael actually came out supporting him because of the blatant lies that they heard and saw. It is too much to write about here, it would take someone who cares about the truth to actually see it. You are just a waste of time.

I'm sorry but speak for yourself. I for one never laughed at the jokes and I always thought they were disgusting. I never believed the lies and have always stuck by him. I am sure there are many others like me so if you think what you said is so important - then think again. When someone dies as he did it is heartbreaking and it does make people reflect. It is human nature and I am sure you have done it too.

Actually interesting thing about Wikipedia is that when it was tested against the Excyclopedia it had about as accurate information as the encyclopedia. Which is somewhere between 70 and 80 percent.

This is so ridiculous. I know people who still think he is faking. And besides the death was not confirmed at the time he wrote this. he actually took this post down before the death was confirmed. You people need to get facts right and stop bashing on the one famous person who just said what everyone else thought when they first heard the news. You guys just want your own 15 minutes of fame and can't get it in any other way except to try to succeed in getting Perez off then net. Get over it and go do something useful with your time like feeding the homeless sheesh.

Perez Hilton is a totally despicable person, and a horrid blogger. 99.5% of what he posts is half-truths and the rest is some bullshit that he makes up and adds in and claims as facts. He bullies celebrities on his site.
There's being a celeb and gossip blogger, and then there's being a giant sack of disgusting filth.
I don't condone violence, but that punch he got was long, long overdue, and quite honestly, I'm totally surprised it hasn't happened more often.

Ignoring him will not make him go away, what will have an effect on him is to contact every single one of the advertisers on his site and tell them that you will boycott them and all of their products if they continue to advertise with him.
Hit him where it hurts, his wallet.
Rob Thomas had all of his ads pulled off of Hilton's site after a reader emailed All Access over Hilton describing 15 year old Dakota Fanning as a "ho".

If everyone contacted all of his advertisers and asked them to pull their ads because of the offensive content he posts or they will boycott them, he will lose all of his financial backing and possibly be forced to change his ways.
Maybe. It's worth a shot.
I've already emailed the advertisers I saw on there on Friday, and when a new one pops up, I'm going to email them too.

Perez Hilton is a douch bag. I wonder why anybody reads his piece of trash.

Hilton is a fool. (And he's mean. And he's a cry baby.) But I don't think his idiocy reflects on the entire blogosphere any more than Jackson's odd antics over the years reflect on every singer, every male, every African-American, every father, etc.

When Jackson dangled his tiny baby over the balcony, did anyone say, "Well, there you go. Fathers are all creep!"?

I think, generally speaking, people are a bit more discerning than that.

Perez Hilton is ridiculous. What he said is very shameful. I've always been quite irritated by the character.

Everyone wants this thing called health, and yet most people have never thought about what their "target of health" actually looks like. If you and your family were healthy, what would it be like? When coping with a death, you may go through all kinds of emotions. You may be sad, worried, or scared. You might be shocked, unprepared, or confused. You might be feeling angry, cheated, relieved, guilty, exhausted, or just plain empty. Health care is a huge national concern. There's a lot of talk about health care reform, and the industry does need it, especially since so many people that are only after the most basic of care have to get emergency cash loans to cover something as simple as a simple antibiotics script, and a full third of the nation is without health insurance. So why do we need payday cash advances for health care that is worse when more expensive?

I'm not a fan of Perez Hilton, but it's nice to see someone who isn't trying to crawl up MJ's ass now that he's dead. All of a sudden everyone on the planet is a life-long Jackson fan. It's funny how a celebrity reaches the height of their popularity when they're either on trial or dead. Jacko managed to do both.

Hah, a rich guy died. I feel so terrible about this. Hilton is a moran and aware of all internet traditions. Face it Jackson faked his death so he could go to his private island and have young boys half off.
