Celebrity Justice and a Really Strange Crowd

Because cameras were not allowed in the courtroom, we didn't have the same drama that accompanied the O.J. Simpson verdict. No close-up of Jackson's face (what's left of it). We only had audio and views of the Michael Jackson supporters gathered outside the court house.

As the Jackson child molestation verdict was read, did you see the woman releasing doves with each not guilty count?

Did you see the people crying and looking to the heavens?

I thought Michael Jackson was scary. The crowd of his supporters was pretty creepy, too.


It's one more case of celebrity justice. Michael Jackson can now take his place alongside O.J. and Robert Blake.
