Right - but you were saying that the family taking the money shows what sort of people they were. I was just saying the fact they let the kid play with him in the first place shows what sorta people they are.

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.

Well I'm shocked by the news.
I know a lot of you weren't digging the man but you know I'm a fan & I am gutted.
Had tickets to see him too. Whatever you think of him as a person we have lost a musical icon. IMO.

Can't argue with that Dregz. His contribution to popular culture is immeasurable. It's a real shame that such talent was laid upon such a messed up bastard

The musical icon died years ago.
He was a buckled nutbag of the highest order.
