A Verdict Has Been Reached in MJ's Trial

I'll post the verdict when I can pull it up,
or if one of you post it first, fine with me!

A DECISION BY THE JURY WILL BE
ANNOUNCED ABOUT 4:30 P.M. EST

The announcement came after about 32 hours of deliberations.

Earlier Monday jurors requested the continuation of the reading of the teen accuser's lengthy testimony, sources close to the case said. The accuser was on the stand for four days in March.

Meanwhile, attorneys for media outlets, including CNN, filed another motion with the court Monday, demanding access to hearings where the court is answering jurors' questions and requests to listen to the reading of previous testimony.

"Barring the public from these final, pivotal stages of this case is, from a constitutional standpoint, simply intolerable," the media attorneys argued in their motion.

Santa Barbara County Superior Court Judge Rodney Melville has set a hearing for Thursday on a previous request to disclose jury questions and release transcripts of hearings.

Media attorneys have been pressing the judge to move up the hearing's date, arguing that their request will be moot if the jury reaches a verdict first.

Jackson's attorneys have filed a motion opposing the media's request, arguing that providing public access to the jury's questions, and hearings related to them, "would invade the confidentiality of the jury deliberation process and would threaten Mr. Jackson's right to a fair trial."

Sources said Melville and attorneys in the case have met at least three times as jurors deliberated.

The jurors adjourned Friday afternoon, ending six days of discussion on the 10 accusations against the pop star.

As for me being happy about this, I am!
I do hope he has learned a life long lesson,
appreciates his freedom, along with not getting
involved with another family.

Yes, there was/is smoke!

This Mother knew what she was doing!

I'm sure the lesson he learned is he can get away with this. Pedafiles are repeat offenders, always.

Guess the next slumber party will be tonight

Here's to cheating, stealing, fighting, and drinking.

If you fight,

When one takes a case to court, they need to
have enough information to prove it.

This case did not have enough facts to prove it!

The family wasn't creditable!

Unfortuately there are parents out there that will put their children in harms way because they see a fat paycheck at the end of it all. I wonder how long it will be before the next trial or settlement.

I'm sure he'll be more careful about who he chooses next time as his victim.
