Yeah i didn't dispute that point, i agree with you. The decision to take the money isn't the only action that tells us something about the family. I just focused on the eventual outcome of the 1st trail, and not what went on before hand, of course it was a suspect situation from the start from both him and the family.
The point i was making is that people look at that outcome and judge MJ on it but don't judge the family. it has been said he bought his way out, and that he must have been guilty to pay the family off. I'm just looking at that argument from the flipside and focussing on the decisions of the family at that point in the trail. Like i said if it were my kid and it were a genuine case, I wouldn't take any amount of money, I'd want to see the man punished for what he did and stop it from possibly happening to other children.
