Maybe we can leave the politics out of this. I don't know of anyone on here that is crazy over MJ but I could be wrong. I don't watch court TV so just going by what you hear on the general news cast your vote.

I think it'll be more likely that he'll be found not guilty. The accuser has already told people that MJ didn't touch him before the trial and his mother has a record of trying to get money out of people.
Although MJ is a weird white guy, he probably will get off this time.

i'l post one of my own :) <<<aaah its too big. oh well
how can people vote without actually following the case and watchin more than jus the bias bits they show on tv?
people need to find out the FACTS b4 they judge someone.
and think how u would feel if u were wrongly accused of molesting a child.
would u like to be judged by some ignorant person who didnt know nothin about YOUR case?
IF he was guilty, id be the 1st in line to chuck him in jail. i hav a 9 yr old brother and if that was my brother id want somethin to happen.
BUT i honestly do not believe he is guilty. i would NOT suppost someone who i though could do such a thng, no matter who he was.

Ummmm just what "FACTS" are you referring to??
Try these "FACTS" on for size...
The M.O. of the vast majority of pedophiles is to exert power over the child through fear, reward, guilt, or other intimidation or persuasion ["Jesus juice"?]. This is never done in the open, or seldom done with witnesses around.
MJ has designed his personal living quarters with many features to ensure his "privacy".
He has his own personal Disneyland-esque facility. You might say it's because "he was never allowed to have a childhood..." others may see it as the bait for a trap.
The man is what? 40 years old?? Don't you suppose he's had ample time to "re-experience his childhood" by now?
No matter how you dress it up, a grown man sleeping in a locked bedroom and in the same bed as a little boy is just NOT something that normal, thinking guys do.
Now.. just what "FACTS" are YOU dealing with? :question

Yeah MJ, How is it that you have the facts & we don't? What if you had a son and you let him stay over with me and you later found out I took a shower with him, gave him some booze, then we all set around looking at porn before we went to the same bed? Can I assume that wouldn't go over to well with you?

>>>mike has HIS drink in a coke can coz he is scared of flyin and didnt want the kids to see his drink. maybe he called it jesus juice so as not to confuse the kids.
they hav been SEEN STEALIN drink from his wine collection. who is to say that they didnt steal this? after all it wouldnt be the 1st time...
MJ has designed his personal living quarters with many features to ensure his "privacy".
>>> so u tellin me NO other CELEBRATY wants their privacy? do they let their maids or cleaners or staff roam in and out of their private rooms at will?
He has his own personal Disneyland-esque facility. You might say it's because "he was never allowed to have a childhood..." others may see it as the bait for a trap.
>>>so are all the creators of theme parks pedos? is walt disney a pedo? no.
michael lets TERMINALLY ILL children come to the park. these kids DYING wish is to see michael, so he lets them hav their last few days on this earth havin fun at his theme park.
The man is what? 40 years old?? Don't you suppose he's had ample time to "re-experience his childhood" by now?
>>>how can u say that? at 5 yrs old u were playin out wit ur mates, dont workin all hours under the sun in a recording studio or in nightclubs like he way.
him and his brothers had to start off him smoky night clubs, in his book he says that he was watchin a woman sing or somethin on stage, she came off stage and said hello to him, after pullin the mellons outta his top. he was actually a man.
can u imagin the effect on a 5 yr old boy? ALL his life he has worked and missed out on normal things. how can u possibly say things when u hav never experienced them for ur self?
that comment of urs was a stupid comment.
No matter how you dress it up, a grown man sleeping in a locked bedroom and in the same bed as a little boy is just NOT something that normal, thinking guys do.
>>>in a LOCKED bedroom? where did u hear this? gavins brother supposedly SAW mike in the bedroom, so how could it hav been locked?
also IF u'd hav watched the bashire doc, u'd hav seen that even gavin said that MIKE SLEPT ON THE FLOOR.
and i lay in a bed wit my 9 yr old brother, am i a child molester AND commit insest at the saw time? huh.

when did MJ take a shower wit the boy?
the boy stole the booze, people SAW him.
the boy FORCED one of the STAFF to put booze in his milkshake...mike wasnt even there.
why shouldnt mike look at porn? he is a 4 somethin red blooded male like any other.
ALSO people saw the boy lookin at it without MJ even being there. even going so far as to ask one of MJs cousin to watch and wank wit him (the boy). again mike wasnt there.
the same bed? the BOY even admitted mike slept on the floor.

See?? You lost me at " "... unable to EXCEPT people ["who"] think differently to ["than"] u..."
This is English?? Mildly amusing however.... I think that I actually DO "except" a lot of folks who think differently when their thinking is demonstrably WRONG.
[hint: look up 'except" and then look up "accept". Memorize the difference. It'll make you seem a lot smarter if you use them correctly.]

No... you're obviously lacking any analytical capacity. You "believe in" Jackson's "innocence" and yet you call everybody out with reference to some set of murky "FACTS" that you haven't been able to state. THAT'S "thinking badly" kiddo. If you simply BELIEVE it, that's the end of the story.... you are welcome to your beliefs... where you trip is when you cite "FACTS" and can't provide them.

Yeah??? Well try again. I actually don't think you have a prayer of writing [i]anything that is "idiot proof" Shakespeare said it many years ago, and I think it applies here:

Signifying nothing."
Idnew
May 30th, 2005, 09:55 AM
OK all of you knock it off. She likes MJ so that's her choice. But based on what I hear on the news since I or none of you know the "FACTS" if I was on the jury just from what I've heard on TV then I would have to say not guilty but is he or isn't he I don't know. I think he is fond of children, but does that make him a child molester, I don't know but he does put himself in questionable positions which might be innocent but look otherwise.
Because he's done all that weird stuff to his negro body still doesn't make him a molester. He's just plain weird is all.
The way MJ writes is from usually hanging around chat rooms. I have to catch myself when posting here from not writing like that. But then I don't write that bad in a chat room. Mostly this.... r u (are you)going to bed now? ty(thank you)gn(good night)hagd(have a good day)gt(good try)gg(good game)coz(cause)etc etc

If this were about any every day Joe & not pervert Jackson they would be spending a long time in jail starting a year ago..

So we have changed from a debate forum to a be nice to anyone that likes the pervert Jackson forum.. No we have not. You can debate with her or anyone all you like about M. Jackson but the snipping about how she writes needs to stop.
My personal opinion why he paid the other one off is to keep the publicity down. This one I think figured it not to go to court and get paid off also. Guess M. Jackson decided to not pay out of court just to keep from going to court this time. After all if he pays off another one then don't you figure someone else will come along and say the same thing. Again I'm not sitting in the court room hearing all the evidence so we are just guessing from the news if he is or isn't guilty. I'm not defending him I'm just saying I don't know if he is or not, because I really have no use for him or his music.
MJ_junkie86
May 30th, 2005, 01:34 PM
its about money, then and now.
even if MJs found innocent they can still get money.
most of u must hav kids. if u really believed ur kid had been molested, would u rather the person who done it go to jail? or u get some money, but leave this guy out on the street.
there is no question about wat i would do, i wouldnt ACCEPT (sincure) any amount of money over the guy going to jail.
and any parent would choose the guy going to jail.
so why didnt they in 93?
the dad of the boy (jordy) was even on tape sayin he was gonna ruin MJ no matter wat it took (this was BEFORE MJ had been accused with anythin) jus because he was jealous that jordy was spendin more time wit jackson than him.
i hav a artical about the 93 case, but its VERY long.

I didn't see how they could find him guilty either. Especially after the McCully Culkin testimony. That pretty much blew the prosecutions witnesses out of the water for me. That and the psycho mothers testimony.

he was judged by a jury of his pers (sp) not by FANS.
they looked at the evidence (or LACK of it) and came to their desicion.
the jurys are doing a job, they not tryin to prove who loves him more. coz that wasnt the case, and if it was, then they WOUND NOT be a jurer in a criminal trial.
jesus, u really are thick. why dont u get ur head outta ur !!! and look at the facts? he was found innocent of every charge.

I'll give you a pass on a lot of this stuff, mainly because you are a non-American, but also because you are a star-struck celebrity-idolizing idiot.... and a ill-mannered one at that. I'm afraid that I'd be quite willing to KICK your azz, but you're gonna have to hold your breath until I'm willing to KISS it.
There is no jury verdict in American jurisprudence of "Innocent". The jury's finding in the MJ trial was "Not Guilty"... which does NOT necessarily mean that "He didn't do it.", but that the prosecution didn't prove their case "beyond a reasonable doubt".
The "beyond a reasonable doubt" factor is a real puzzle to many jurors. Dispite the judge's instructions to the contrary [which can be quite confusing to non-legal types] many think that it is similar to "beyond a shadow of a doubt" ... a lead-pipe cinch. I believe that this jury was mal-selected and mishandled. They should've been sequestered from day one of the trial.
One of the female jurors said on a local TV interview that she thought that MJ was "...just an average guy... just like the rest of us.":rolleyes Several of the jurors said that they wanted the prosecution to provide more physical evidence.... One woman mentioned "...like on CSI."[Crime Scene Investigation... a popular fictional TV program.] This shows what at least a couple of the jurors were thinking [or NOT thinkinghttp://pages.prodigy.net/rogerlori1/emoticons/nono2.gif].
They had no idea of the reality of putting a case of this type together. We'll see if there is a follow-up of a civil suit.... a-la O.J.
Oh well.... MJ will stay-true-to-form for his type, and he'll undoubtedly continue to have his little friends sleep-over...:rolleyes

"Not guilty"? I think Triumph the Comedy Insult Dog said it best:

Don't let them get to you MJ :wink They are just ticked off that their predictions didn't come true. They just don't want to admit that there was no case other than MJ's word against a psycho mama and a 13 yr old rehearsed kid who was shown to have lied several times and changed his story. The truth is Sin and DB et. al. just don't like Michael Jackson and his image and that makes it alright for them to think he is guilty regardless of the testimony and lack of evidence. The prosecution witnesses were found to be lying. Thats the tall and short of it.

what continues to amaze (and pi$$ me off) about this country is.. it is no longer...... innocent until proven guiltiy.. it's become... [guilty] until proven innocent.. and seems no matter how many trials there are.. or evidence to the contrary.. no one is ever proved innocent anymore.. just not guilty.. which means they did it, the prosecutor jes cant prove it or failed to do his job..
I continue to be amazed at the people who are convicted on such slimey and flimsy 'evidence', and they are found guilty. Seems to me, most of the guilty verdicts are based on human emotions instead of the facts.
i praise the jurors on the michael jackson case. FINALLY some people who viewed the FACTS.. not the emotions that were so tainted in the entire procedure.
as for the oj trial.. i hope those jurors still have trouble sleeping at nite. if they had used plain ol'common sense, they'd have known that the glove DID fit, because if he hadn't been wearing a rubber glove in court, it would have fit him perfectly. If the prosecution had waited just a little longer, they'd have found the murder weapons and evidence of nicole and ron's blood in his golf bag, etc. they rushed to trial and dropped the ball. so yes, in this case, the prosecution failed to do their job. the bad guy got away with murder and he's NOT GUILTY and INNOCENT.. for all time. that's the law..

Rosie, it appears that you are as hopelessly confused as the rest of 'em.
The only finding the jury was to make in both the O.J. and M.J. trials was "guilty" or "not guillty". Simply two degrees of "guilt". Binary, off or on. All or none. There was no "innocent" finding to be made. "Not guilty" does not equate to "innocent," and more often than not means simply that the prosecution didn't prove its case to each and every one of the 12 jurors... 12 out of 12 are needed for conviction in a criminal case.
I'm sorry if you are also confused with, and apparently unable to make a personal judgement here. "Innocent until proven guilty" is a buzzphrase that applies only in how a defendant is to be looked at as regards to court proceedings [and even then, note that many defendants are handcuffed and closely guarded in court:question]. It has absolutely nothing to do with how anybody else is to consider the defendant.
You must be another star-struck MJ fan... huh?

RK-- Unfortunately the prosecution doesn't get to select their victims. If the boy victim had a weirdo for a mother, well.... [Personally, I think she was pimping-off her kid, just like the earlier case where MJ bought them off for a few million.]
Are we now saying that kids with strange folks can't be victims? That once you've lied [what kid hasn't?] that you can never be considered to be truthful again?
You'll see... pedophiles can't stop doing what they do best. MJ will be doing it again within a few months. Perhaps he'll move to someplace that is a lot more tolerant towards that kind of behavior , Thailand, for instance, or France...:wink and get away with it for the rest of his life. If he stays here, he's likely to get nailed again.

She wasn't pimping her kid, she was a con artist. This wasn't her first BS law suit and the lawyer she hired was the same one that got money out of Jackson last time by threatening to make pics of his dick available to the tabloids. The witnesses for the prosecution like the security guard that said he saw MJ molesting McCauley Culkin were also shown to be liars. The others that the prosecution said MJ had molested all got up on the stand and said it never happened. If MJ is really a serial pedophile as you claim how come there weren't lots of kids coming forward like happens when a priest is outed? MJ has had thousands of kids out to Neverland Ranch. The prosecution claimed he had slept with many young boys. Well why aren't they coming forward with charges??? The reason is because Jackson isn't a pedophile. He thinks he can be Peter Pan and never have to grow up and can be 14 forever (delusional and naive I will grant you), but that doesn't mean he is molesting the kids he is hanging out with.
Again if he were a serial pedophile there would be 10 or 20 or more victims lined up suing him like in the church scandals. MJ has had Neverland Ranch going for about 20 years now. The prosecution implied that he was "sleeping" with lots of young boys. Well where are they??? It just doesn't add up. Its much more likely that the jury got it right and that this was an attempt at extortion by the mother and her lawyer who had done it once before. And they used this poor kid with cancer to do so. You take a young kid like that and a manipulative mother and a lawyer out to line his pockets, and you can make him believe something happened that really didn't. Its happened before. Remember that preschool scandal several years ago that resulted in convictions because all these kids said they had been molested? It turned out that they lied to please their parents and the police investigators. They were led to say things had happened that hadn't. Also remember part of the charges were that he had held the kid and is mother captive. An absolute BS claim as it was shown that she was at a spa getting her hair and nails done during the time she was supposedly being held. The kid himself changed his story a couple of times on the stand. Probably couldn't remember what he had been told to say that had happened.

Sin, The prosecution *does* get to decide what cases to bring. And in California the rate of acquittal for felonies is extremely low, something like 0.3%. That excludes dismissals and plea bargains.
I don't know whether MJ is a paedophile. He's certainly quite out of touch with reality, but that makes him very difficult to judge by normal standards. What I do know is that I would not have convicted him on the evidence presented, for all the reasons that RK mentions. The law says clearly "beyond reasonable doubt", and this was a long way from that.
As for OJ, once it became apparent that the police had planted evidence, the whole thing was dead. Personally, I think he was lying to protect someone else - but we'll probably never know.

Now she's going to file a civil suit which I don't understand because that's like re-trying someone all over again, like in the OJ case. I can't see how that can be done, but then I haven't researced it either.

No, i'm not confused. I understand the judicial system very well. And the law was originally written, innocent until PROVEN guilty.. but has become warped over the years by media and malicious prosecutors into guilty until PROVEN innocent.. that was my point. with the way trials are conducted 'today' , jurors are always convicting innocent people 'beyond a reasonable doubt' on totally fabricated and circumstantial 'evidence' which doesn't hold up under close scrutiny or detailed investigation.. like should be done before a case ever goes to trial.
so again, no, i'm not confused and i can make personal judgements just fine on all the evidence. None of the 'evidence' against jackson can hold up under close scrutiny.. look at just THIS trial.. and THIS evidence .. it's all fabricated.. or a twisted distortion of the truth.
one point in fact.. the supposed molestation of this particular boy, happened AFTER the interview by that british media guy.. tapes showing the entire interview.. including the tapes that jackson himself made AT THE SAME TIME.. show a totally different story..
this railroad reminds me of the waco mess. I was there and watching all the news at the time it happened, but by the time the media got the taped reports , much of the information was twisted to suit themselves..and totally different from what was actually shown.. i know because i had taped most all of the reports every day, i still have the tapes in my storage locker in texas, and the 'excerpts' from those reports is so twisted as to be ludicrous.. the time line was all jumbled up and many things were changed to make the davidians look like saints.. and they clearly were NOT.
as for being a MJ fan, yes, i am. I have always liked his 'older' music, have stated at length before in this thread that i don't really like some of his 'newer' stuff, but how i feel for him personally, or his music, doesn't affect how i feel about his guilt or innocence... look at the evidence.. it was so trumped up it was to the point of being ridiculous.
Yes.. he is strange.. he had a $hitty childhood, as did i, and he went in a different direction that most folks would do.. many kill themselves because of how they were raised, some murder , some rape, some jes sit around in a fog.. some choose to ignore their past (as i do), and others pretend it didn't exist and live it now.. (as michael does)..
he's made millions.. get over it.. he earned it.. he also gives away millions.. to kids all over the world who wouldn't have a chance without it.. why is it when he does good with his money.. unlike so-called philathropists like john kerry and his clan.. is he labeled a pedophile?.. if he gave his money to animal charities, would he then be a beastiality pervert? probably so in the eyes of people who are jealous of his accomplishments.
there will always be people jealous of famous/rich people. look at how elvis had to live just to have some time to himself.. howard hughes.. i could go on, but some of you will never get the picture.. instead u choose to sit around and grous about people who have accomplished more in their life and gave something back .. tithing their 10% or more back to God for their blessings bestowed on them seems to be beyond comprehension for most of the people on this miserable planet.. a misery that the people themselves have created.

It had every thing to do with a law suit. They charged him with a criminal act so they could sue him in civil court. If he had been found guilty the civil suit is a slam dunk. Its all about the money.

Yeah... well... for over 30 years, I had a very small part in that low rate of acquittal in Calif. [although I wonder at your figure there... .3%? that's very low.] While the DA does have a lot of discretion as to what cases to file and which to pass on, every felony brought to court in Calif via an "information" and not a Grand Jury indictment must also go through a "Preliminary Hearing" in Municipal Court. In this proceeding, the Judge determines if a crime has been committed and whether there is sufficient reason to link the defendant to it. ... so it isn't solely the Prosecution who decides which cases will be tried.... there are many felony cases that are stopped at the Preliminary Hearing.
While there are those who completely discount "circumstiantial evidence" as irrelevant, there are many crimes in which circumstiantial evidence is the only true "evidence" available. I've participated in successful homicide prosecutions in which the body of the deceased was never found. Crimes that are carefully planned and done in provate, like child molestation, are almost never flush with physical evidence.... for several reasons. Possibly the most significant reason is that these crimes [unless stumbled-upon while in progress by a third party] have so little physical evidence is that the victim is often quite reluctant to report his/her victimization. In the time period from offense to the victim's reporting of it, much physical evidence will be lost or otherwise compromised.
Oh, and Dave, could you please explain what you mean by your charge that the police "planted evidence" in the OJ case?
RK's statement that if MJ really was a pedophile, there should be veritable lines of victims outside the DA's Office willing to report MJ's pedophilia is patently wrong, and neglects to consider some very basic truths. Star-struck people are often quite unwilling to accept that their idol can have feet of clay.
RK's thinking regarding the lawyer selection of the victim's mother easily backfires when it is asked, "Well... what lawyer did MJ hire? What's HIS track record?" One is always wise to hire the very best and experienced lawyer you can find.
Rosie fails to grasp the difference between actual guilt and legal guilt.... or perhaps [contrary to her prostations that she isn't confused] she'd simply unclear regarding the meaning of the two terms. She also apparently believes that wealthy, famous people can't possibly commit such mundane crimes as diddling little boys.
Idnew hits close to the bullseye with her commentary. I believe the victim's mother is a moonbat of the first water, and knowingly placed her son in harm's way in order to score big bucks. She also liked the expensive gifts. Does that mean it was then OK for MJ to victimize the kid? Hardly.
As I wrote before, pedophiles will continue to offend. MJ might get away with it for many more years... or he might become a terminal-ballistics test dummy for hollowpoint bullets if, some day, he happens to mess with the wrong guy's kid.

We will just have to disagree on that as I think a Priest or Bishop or Cardinal rises to the level of idol for most Catholics, but they still lined up to accuse them when the lid came off.

Thats a pretty weak argument. Finding a lawyer to bring charges is way different than getting one to defend you. She went out and got an attny that had already bilked MJ out of millions.

Who would be the better lawyer??? One who had to start on Page One with MJ.... or one who had a track record with him? I suppose if you are ever sued over a real estate deal, you"re gonna go out and retain an attorney who's a specialist in medical malpractice... right?
Something else for you to think over...It doesn't matter WHAT the motives of the mother were... this case was to determine whether-or-not MJ diddled the little boy. MJ's attorney actually shifted the entire focus of the trial [and the jury's complete attention] to put the VICTIM'S MOTHER on trial. Much like Johnnie Chochran put the LAPD on trial, even though O.J. was the named defendant.

DUH?? I'll say "Duh"!!
Read this slowly-- The most serious crime charged to MJ was a lewed act with a child. Please explain to me in American English [or use your own brand, if you must] just how the motives of the mother are relevant to the prosecution or the defense of that crime. Was he given a "pass" by a confused and distracted jury because the victim had a nutty mother?... looks that way to me. All this crap you and others here are spewing about "Look at the EVIDENCE..." well, I might just exhort YOU to do exactly that... look at the evidence that the kid was molested. You'd have to ignore and completely throw out the kid's testimony... at the trial and on the video... because his mother is a nutcake?
DAs do *not* have to bring to trial a case that they do not think will fly. It would be an unethical waste of public money.
Yes, they can issue a "DA reject" ...IF THEY CAN'T SEE A CONNECTION FROM THE CRIME TO THE DEFENDANT, OR IF THERE ISN'T SUFFICIENT PROOF THAT A CRIME WAS COMMITTED. Read what I wrote again-- "The DA isn't required [nor is it even ethical for him] to only bring cases to court that he feels he can win."

Yeah, well then... you were taken-in along with the jury. There was no "evidence planting" done by LAPD. Johnnie C. tried LAPD rather than defending OJ. It worked on the stupid downtown jurors. The idiot judge let him get by with it... probably hoping that the DA would patch it up. They didn't. "Jury nullification" was [and remains] the phrase-of-the-day.

I was at a private club last night sitting there with 5 white men and just me(none of us care for MJ's music, nor are we fans of his) and of course this came up. I was really amazed that all of us agreed that MJ was not guilty but trying to be scammed. I was equally amazed when my black co-worker(who is an MJ fan) told me she thought he should have been found guilty of at least the alchol charge.
As for as having porn mags around he should have put them out of sight, but how many men hasn't looked at porn mags. My son thinks he's hiding them between the matress, but they aren't around for his daughter to see anyway.Let's see... why don't we try THIS for an explanation?-- Would you suppose she first went to a lawyer FOR LEGAL ADVICE?? Perhaps to see if she had a case or not... BEFORE damaging her kid's name, reputation and psyche any further?
No I think she went there first to see if the same lawyer could get money for her and when that didn't happen she got mad and brainwashed her kid(who couldn't tell the same story twice the same way) and went to the DA. Sad she used her kid who probably enjoyed his stay at Neverland very much and now will never be allowed back.
Now Sin don't you find it odd that the DA managed to get an all white jury to hopefully find him guilty but that didn't happen. If they would have been black or at least one black on the jury then the argument would be........that's why he was found not guilty, but that isn't the case. Maybe he is maybe he isn't guilty of child molestation, but the evidence in this case didn't prove it or even leave any doubt IMO.

When on the witness stand and faced with a skillful attorney, it is extremely difficult for even a self-confident, done-this-a-hundred-times, adult police officer to "tell the same story twice in the same way." Believe me. The kid had a snowball's chance in he11.
Now Sin don't you find it odd that the DA managed to get an all white jury to hopefully find him guilty but that didn't happen. If they would have been black or at least one black on the jury then the argument would be........that's why he was found not guilty, but that isn't the case. Maybe he is maybe he isn't guilty of child molestation, but the evidence in this case didn't prove it or even leave any doubt IMO.
Well... Santa Barbara isn't noted for a large black [IS MJ 'black"??] population.... and anyway, the defense had just as many juror challenges as the DA, and could've knocked anybody off the jury they wanted [preemptory challenges] at any time during jury selection. I don't know what the racial composition of the jury pool was... do you?
To continue with the black/white issue-- I think the defense didn't want any blacks on the jury... White guilt, and the tendency for many non-ghetto blacks to be pretty harsh on "their own" [and MJ obvious self-directed transformation to "white"] are both strong factors to be considered.

sin u are so racist and prejustic its unreal. mike has a serious skin defect and u are makin fun of him by questioning whether he is actually black.
i bet the black man down the street (tho knowin u, u prob wouldnt live within 100 feet of a black man for fear he may rape ur pure virgin daughters) who had the same skin defect wouldnt be questioned whether he was black or not, else u'd be straght in court for being racist, and damn right too.
i doubt u hav seen someone wit vitiligo, they are black, but parts of their skin has been turned white because of the lack of pigment. maybe that is funny to u?
but to any normal person wit feelings and tolerence towards people different to themselves would not be jokin about whether that person is actually black. and it is no difference with mike.
i dont know why we bother tryin to explain to u that the mother, who has done this exact same thing b4 to a store over there, and won the case (she was proven to lie and PROVEN TO MAKE GAVIN LIE TOO) and then somehow "forgot" to mention the thousands of $ on her benifit claim a few days later, she has also tried doin this to other celebraties. so what, somehow mike has done the exact same thing she jus happened to accuse other people of....hum wat a coincidence.
and going to the lawers first...do u really believe wat u jus said?
surely if u really believed ur kid has been sexually abusied u would be straight down to the coppers.

Not only are you stupid, you are also ill-mannered... you need to go back to some teen board where you can write all your nifty disguised profanity to people who'll think you are really clever.
You don't know much of anything about me or how I deal with various races, but that doesn't stop or matter to you, huh? You're so enamored with MJ's ...whatever... that you find it impossible to see him for what he really is. It's YOUR problem, not mine.
Vitiligo? Sure... and he's only had "one or two" operations on his nose so he could "hit the high notes" huh? Riiiight... :rolleyes How many cases of vitiligo have YOU seen? Every one of the folks with that condition that I've seen has looked more like a pinto pony... very patchy. MJ looks more like those who took the "lightening shots" around the same time he decided he didn't want to look like Diana Ross anymore and switched to mimic Elizabeth Taylor. Currently, he looks like somebody from Planet of the Apes.

THE ONLY THING THAT SHOULD HAVE MATTERED IS WHETHER OR NOT MJ MOLESTED THE BOY. ...and anybody with more than two firing synapses can see that it is not only just "likely" he did, but after seeing the kid's testimony, it's a SLAM-DUNK.

how silly of me to dare question what u say.
"i dnt kno y i try 2 411 u wid da str8 skoop"
ok, i know ur old, well my grandad is old too and he can remember simple things. like, when hav u even seen me write like that?
i dunno, maybe thats wat u think is funny? like u think makin fun of people wit skin problems is funny.
well i suppose u were brought up in the times when the "colours" werent allowed to even use the white mans toliets. and of course, a woman with an opinion is as good as commiting a sin. so i suppose that explains ur twisted attitude toward things.
"Since it was a criminal trial, she wouldn't normally get a dime from him"
humm, i glad u wrote "normally".
so hummm, explain why shes sueing him again?
maybe she didnt get enought beauty treatments the last time she was "kidnapped" by hotair balloon, and wants a top up?
that all over wax will need re-doing by now.
"YOU are a star-struck simpleton who is in love/infatuated with somebody who doesn't even know you're alive"

So.... going off in a huff, huh? [My grandmother had a 1923 Huff... with the bud vases on the pillar posts.:wink ]
I suppose you never noticed the "ignore" feature of this board, huh? I suppose it could've saved you a lot of discontentment and angst.
Too bad you're not going to stick around... you might learn the BIG DIFFERENCE between a "criminal prosecution" and a 'civil action". [Hint-- in one, the defendant can go to jail... in the other, there is a money judgement and/or establishment of right/title/interest.]
But I understand... you can't be bothered with actually LEARNING anything here. It's OK.:question Staying ignorant and arguing against things you know nothing about, well, that just seems to suit you very well.
Why do I think that you are infatuated with MJ?? Well, I suppose we could start out with your screen name here, "MJ Junkie"... and then move to the content/subject matter of 99% of your posts, and then perhaps end with your MJ quoting sigline.... Need any more "evidence"??
As for the netspeak... I just wanted to show you that it doesn't take much to write like that. Yes, I'm an old guy who's seen a lot [but not everything] and probably done more than my share. I realize that I'm no longer young, hip, fabulous, cool, stylish, or much of anything else that YOU might value... So, if **I** can write like that, it isn't much of anything to be proud of.
I bet that I've seen more Blacks with vitiligo [and talked to more Blacks about the condition] than you... yet you swallow MJ's BS about his "condition" hook/line/sinker... you want to "school me" on it, but can't, so you get all defensive when the anomalyof MJ's "condition" is pointed out to you. No, YOU'RE not infatuated with him... not in the slightest... Pretty immature, huh? ...and you're HOW old?? http://www.kurts-smilies.de/erstaunt.gif
Actually, aside from your atrocious use [and LACK of use] of English conventions, your oh-so-cutting use of disguised profanity:rolleyes, your monomaniacal obsession with MJ, your lack of cognitive/reasoning abilities, your exhibition of your complete lack of a sense of humor... and your unwillingness to listen to, and perhaps learn something from, those who just MIGHT know a bit more about a subject than you... well as I said, aside from THAT...

jus coz u dont like someone, it doesnt mean hes a pedo. and the ONLY real evidence could come from gavin, who has lied about the exact same thing in the past (after being told to by his crazy money grabbin mother) and changed his story countless times.
and from his little brother star, who has also changed his story to make it worse as the case went on.....MJs hand was on his leg/outside of his PJ bottoms/inside the PJ bottoms.
u know, make ur mind up kid.

ive said b4 that id more than happily talk about somethin other than MJ. but u cant seem to drop it. hell, if u dont agree jus shut up and change the subject. then magically my posts will not be about MJ.

yet another thing u dont know about me so decided to make up. find me a post where i said this was anythin OTHER than convinent and i'l bow down, but dont hold ur breath lol.
u bet u've "seen" more people wit vit, i went to school wit a boy wit it, his name was philip. and its not easy and he used to get bullied. so dont give me that crap about not knowing anythin about it.
"perhaps learn something from, those who just MIGHT know a bit more about a subject than you"
how was that worked out? flip a cion, head i know more, tails she knows more?
you've never shown me u know more than me about the subject. all u've shown is that anyone u disagree wit and anyone who is weird is automatically guilty of something.
the only proof u've given is that the boy said it happened. well hes said that b4 at a different trial, and changed his story no end of times. so hes hardly credable.
lol w1tch, "You try to be nice to these young ones, bring them along slow, try & teach them about the world and this is the thanks you get"

MJ.. If you stick around I will try to find the patience to explain to Sin the relationship between a criminal prosecution and a civil action where the civil action is brought because of damages caused from a criminal act. In other words they couldn't claim that MJ molested a child and bring a civil action based on that, without filing a criminal report.
This of course requires that criminal charges and the prosecution of them must be brought first in order for a civil action based on the criminal activity to be filed. One would think that with all of Sin's supposed background it the law that he would have already understood this. :rolleyes

I want to know how they can even file a civil action against someone after being found Not Guilty on criminal charges. Think I'm going to see what I can find on this myself since it's bugging me also.
MJ if you don't want to debate with sin or read what he posts there is an ignore button to do that. Think Dumbo has been blocked a lot on this board.
Sin and wunchee just like to pick on younguns for some reason so just argue back if you like or put the old coots on ignore.:wink
It would help though if you did try to type in more proper English. If you were to fill out an application for a job and write like that, I don't think you would get hired and constant writing like that makes you forget how to write properly. Then again maybe that is how ya'll talk and write where you live. If that's the case then continue if you don't know how to write any other way. Please don't think this is bashing you, because it's not. Just my opinion.

I see this will take a lot of research and I just don't feel like doing it. I can find the procedures of filing but no explanation of how you can file when against someone after they are found Not Guilty in a criminal court.In America, civil procedure usually takes the form of a series of rules and judicial practices. The federal courts follow the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure; the state courts follow their own state rules of civil procedure.
In federal courts, evidentiary rules are governed by the Federal Rules of Evidence. The state courts follow their own state rules of evidence.
Since they have two different set of rules I guess one court can find you guilty while the other one can find you not guilty:confused
This on OJ's civil trial.Though just nine of the 12 jurors needed to agree on a verdict, the ruling was unanimous. They had only to agree whether there were a preponderance of evidence, not proof beyond a reasonable doubt

June 19th, 2005, 02:10 PM
Without writing an essay let me get to the central point
I could not claim that Sin is a pedophile and that he molested my son and then sue him for a million dollars. I would first have to report the criminal activity to the police and make a charge. If I didn't Sin would sue me for slander and the DA could charge me with covering up a criminal activity if in fact it were true. In civil cases which use a "CRIMINAL" activity as the basis for the law suit a charge of such must be made first with the authorities. You can't just claim that someone did something criminal and not report it but sue them for damages because of it. Get real!! The first thing a judge is going to ask is did you report it to the police and if you say no, the judge is going to ask why not. You can't just say "all I want is money I don't care if he goes to jail". The judge will tell you to get out of his court and don't come back until you file a police report of criminal activity. The DA can decide not to pursue the case for lack of evidence however if he does the chances are good the civil case will be thrown out for same. The reason being that the evidence for damages caused by a criminal activity are much the same in both the civil and criminal case. In other words I have to show there is reason to believe that Sin molested my son in order to receive damages. In every case that I can think of where there is "CRIMINAL" activity resulting in a civil law suit, there has been a criminal case or charges of criminal activity brought first as the evidence put forward is what lays the ground work for the civil case. Also the bringing of the criminal case by the DA insulates the plaintiff from a counter suit of slander. I suppose if you dug real hard you might find some odd case where this wasn't the case but in 99.9% of all civil cases involving "CRIMINAL" activity a criminal case or at least charges of criminal activity is filed first.
The OJ case is interesting because OJ was found "not guilty" instead of innocent and there was enough evidence presented in the criminal case to win the civil case brought after the conclusion of the criminal case. Its possible that a civil case will now be brought against MJ based on the evidence presented in the criminal case however considering that most of it was proved to be untrue and the witnesses to be untruthful I suspect that there will not be a civil case. However the woman could not have brought the civil case without first pursuing a criminal complaint.
To say that there is no relationship between criminal and civil cases that involve a "CRIMINAL" activity is just wrong. If you think she could have sued MJ for molesting her son without filing a police report first you are wrong. If a report of child molestation is filed the DA in Ca is required to look into it and bring charges if he thinks there is sufficient reason. If there is an ongoing investigation into criminal activity it always gets tried first and the civil suit is put on hold as the criminal case and investigation takes precedence.

June 19th, 2005, 05:16 PM
You are limiting the suit to criminal activity.
Anyone can sue for "damages" without making a police report.

ok now i understand why u so messed up about the case.
""Who amongst us can honestly say that they have never slept with a 12 year old boy after sharing some alcohol and porography in the company of a chimpanzee""
ok, sharing some alchol? the kids were seen on more than one occassion by more than one person to STEAL it.
porn, number one, every 12 yr old kid has seen porn (unfotunatly)
number 2, the kids were SEEN to be lookin at it when MJ was no where around. and even asked MJs young cousin to join in their w@nkin session.
a chimpanzee, ok christ knows where u got that one from lol.
netspeak is geeky, retarded, lazy, ignorant, and ultimately mega-UN-cool.
how is "newspeak" geeky? surely using pointlessly long words is being geeky?
retard? see a retarded is a name, albeit a horrible name, for someone who has, for example, downs syndrome. and i think its disgusting u reference it to that.
ignorant? ha, i'd love to hear how u explain that one!
lazy, yep! but as u keep pointing out, am "only" a teenager. wat do u expect sir sin? we cant all be as amazing as u are.
""Well, W1che... even though she's 19 and thinks she already knows everything, I think we can safely assume that she didn't spend many of those 19 years in school... or if she DID, she didn't pay much attention""
erm, maybe u yanks hav a way of stalkin us. but i doubt it. so is that yet another thing u decide to make up?
for ur information, (and jus to shut u up), i hav done all my GCSEs, and Alevels and am doing an NVQ as we speak.
tho i suppose u still think that women aint allowed to go to schools, so i suppose i can excuse ur comment due to ignorence.
well anyway sin. u jus couldnt drop it could u. u had to get the last say.
so go on then sin, hav ur last say again, christ knows u cant let me, a lowly female teenager gettin away wit sayin the last words to high and mighty lawman sir sin.
idnew, i can type perfectly well thank-you. i choose to type how i do because, number one, it annoys Sir, Sin. and number two, because its easier and quicker.
(Oh my God, someone pick up Sir, Sin from the ground, he has just had a heart attack after seeing that the female teenager can actually type the same as he can. What is the world coming to when a teenager can type normally? Next the aliens will attack!)
if yer perfer i can type the same way i speak. see, i actually speak quite normally compared to the rest of England, am from the south, and we 'av no major accent, tho if yer ask my Scottish mate my accent is real weird!!

Good book report RK but you are wrong as far as the state of Missouri goes. The evidence you are allowed to bring in a civil court is much more liberal & the burden of proof is much more lax than a criminal trial. Many times people chose not to press criminal charges while taking their case to civil court. It could be different in different states I suppose..

DB we are discussing this case. I realize that that there are other kinds of civil cases. Making hot coffee is not criminal. Sin implied that the mother wanting to bring a civil suit against MJ had nothing to do with this case. That is not true. In order for her to bring a civil suit in this case she had to make a criminal complaint to the police. Sin indicated that this was only a criminal case and not motivated by the mother wanting to bring a civil law suit for money. Thats not true. My point is she went to the police after getting a lawyer for her civil suit and made the charges against MJ... She did this in order for her to be able to bring a civil suit for damages. The reason the DA pursued this is because she filed a criminal complaint against MJ. Without her complaint the DA could not have gone after MJ. My point is she hired a civil attny first and then went to the police with the complaint. To me that means she and her lawyer are gold diggers. What precipitated these charges was the mother and her attny wanting to get money from Jackson. In order to do that they had to sick the DA on him first because they were claiming "CRIMINAL" actions as reason for the damages. Her motivations are highly suspect and are the reason she was put on the stand to show that the motivation for the charges was her greed.
From Sin
Read this slowly-- The most serious crime charged to MJ was a lewed act with a child. Please explain to me in American English [or use your own brand, if you must] just how the motives of the mother are relevant to the prosecution or the defense of that crime. Was he given a "pass" by a confused and distracted jury because the victim had a nutty mother?... looks that way to me. All this crap you and others here are spewing about "Look at the EVIDENCE..." well, I might just exhort YOU to do exactly that... look at the evidence that the kid was molested. You'd have to ignore and completely throw out the kid's testimony... at the trial and on the video... because his mother is a nutcake?
What Sin doesn't seem to understand is the reason MJ was charged was because of her accusations of criminal actions. Her motivation for making the charge is most certainly germane to the case. My point is she made the charge in order to bring a civil suit for money after the criminal case. The Jury obviously believed that to be true and it is one of the reasons why they found MJ not guilty on all charges including the holding against her will charge the mother had made. Sin seems to think the mother and the charges are seperate....they are not. MJ's defense wasn't that they couldn't prove it. The defense was that the accusers and their witnesses were lying. The jury believed that as well and for good reason based on the testimony. Also IMO her lawyer coached her as to what charges to bring and how to present them so that later it would make the civil suit a slam dunk if the criminal case was successful. They tried to set MJ up.....they failed......and rightly so IMO.
This is how criminal and civil cases are so often linked to one another.
:wall <------ its not that hard to understand.

That made it much clearer to me RK. Thank you for taking the time to do that.
A civil suit can be brought against someone........for say some kind of non criminal offense...........such as the hot coffee, the fall in the store etc. , but if it's a law broken or supposidly broken then it must first go to a criminal court. I get it.:clap
MJ I prefer normal typing instead of that netwhack or whatever you called it writing. You were more easy to understand and for sure sounded more intellegent, but write as you see fit.

While I appreciate the time and effort expended, the question remains: Where to even start with you, RK...? :question
Let's get some preliminary stuff out of the way as to California law.
In a felony criminal trial, the "plaintiff" is THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA... not the victim, not the victim's mother, father, brother, etc. ..but THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.... and in this case, the defendant was MJ, et al. Generally, there are no monetary awards [aside from perhaps some form of "restitution" as awarded by the Judge] but there are other possible sanctions of loss of liberty, or even life. The entire process is designed to punish lawbreakers and perhaps deter others.
In a CIVIL case [and for the purposes of this discussion , we can leave out Small Claims, Justice, and Municipal courts] it is a named Plaintiff vs. a named Defendant. No jail or prison time can be sought... only establishment of right, title, and interest, as well as "monetary damages". The Plaintiff must show "damages" and the process is designed to attempt to make the aggrieved party "whole" again, conterminous with their proven injury or loss. "Damages" are usually awarded, and these can be actual damages, "special" damages ["pain and suffering"] or punitive damages.
Now comes the hard part... It'll be difficult without a confusing flurry of cut/pasting regarding what **I** wrote vs. what **YOU** wrote. While that's the most efficient way to be certain that I address each of your misconceptions, I'll TRY to minimize it. I suppose I should start off with your central error-- You wrote: I could not claim that Sin is a pedophile and that he molested my son and then sue him for a million dollars. I would first have to report the criminal activity to the police and make a charge.
Nope... not so. You could sue me for damages--which you'd have to prove-- to YOU. [Remember, in your set-up, YOU are suing me. Now I'm gonna assume that YOU are suing me as the legal guardian, as well as on behalf of whatever minor you selected as the plaintiff.]
No police report or criminal complaint is needed. None at all.
So, when you write:
Sin implied that the mother wanting to bring a civil suit against MJ had nothing to do with this case. That is not true. In order for her to bring a civil suit in this case she had to make a criminal complaint to the police. Sin indicated that this was only a criminal case and not motivated by the mother wanting to bring a civil law suit for money. Thats not true.
YOU are the one in error. MY "implication" [actually it was a flat-out assertion] is truthful and will stand. The criminal case was brought to determine if MJ diddled the little boy... nothing more. The defense made it into what YOU'VE obviously swallowed here... by the well-known defense artifice of putting the MOTHER on trial.
My point is she went to the police after getting a lawyer for her civil suit and made the charges against MJ... She did this in order for her to be able to bring a civil suit for damages.
Nope... it wasn't at all necessary. Her lawyer would get nothing from a criminal prosecution, nor would she be likely to get any money. The negatives are there for her... public exposure of the embarrassing acts for her, her family and the victim, the stress of a prolonged trial, etc.
The reason the DA pursued this is because she filed a criminal complaint against MJ. Without her complaint the DA could not have gone after MJ. Well, yeah.... unless MJ molested the DA... :wink
My point is she hired a civil attny first and then went to the police with the complaint. To me that means she and her lawyer are gold diggers. What precipitated these charges was the mother and her attny wanting to get money from Jackson. In order to do that they had to sick the DA on him first because they were claiming "CRIMINAL" actions as reason for the damages. Not true at all.... makes a great story, but not true at all.
YOU can break my leg in a bar fight, maliciously set fire to my house, or poison my horse... and I can seek monetary damages from you WITHOUT filing a criminal complaint... look it up, it's a fact.
Her motivations are highly suspect and are the reason she was put on the stand to show that the motivation for the charges was her greed. Ummmm.... Jeez, RK...let's THINK a little here-- she was the PROSECUTION'S WITNESS... why would the DA put her on the stand to show her "greed"?:rolleyes :rolleyes
And then you write:
What Sin doesn't seem to understand is the reason MJ was charged was because of her accusations of criminal actions. Her motivation for making the charge is most certainly germane to the case. My point is she made the charge in order to bring a civil suit for money after the criminal case.

Also IMO her lawyer coached her as to what charges to bring and how to present them so that later it would make the civil suit a slam dunk if the criminal case was successful. They tried to set MJ up.....they failed......and rightly so IMO.
Her "motivation" was "germane to the case" up until MJ was held-to-answer at the Preliminary Hearing. After that it was only a very large red herring successfully employed by the defense. Had MJ and his attorneys really believed that this was a complete shake-down, [and in conformity with YOUR theories re: CAlif. law] why-oh-why didn't THEY make a police complaint of oh... say "extortion" ???
[b]This is how criminal and civil cases are so often linked to one another.
<------ its not that hard to understand. It MUST be that hard to understand ... for some of you out there, so you simply make-up your own fairytale laws [from Neverland, no doubt] and applications of those laws...

Sin,
Are you saying that if the mother had gone straight to a civil suit, the fact that she had never reported these allegations to the police wouldn't have counted strongly against her case? I find that hard to believe.
I have to agree with RK's basic interpretation of the trial. The defense contended that the accusers and their witnesses were lying. And they produced some good evidence to back up their claim. Game over.

A civil trial & a criminal trial have nothing to do with each other. OJ was found not guilty of his crime in criminal court but was found to have caused the two deaths in civil court..
If nothing else this thread shows what a good defense lawyer can do to make people think the way they want them to.. Had MJ been an average guy with a public defender as his lawyer he would be in jail right now. There is no doubt in my mind about that.

I do to
So if someone breaks into my house and I know from a witness who did it I can just take them to civil court and sue for the things they stole from me and never have to report it to the police? Wouldn't the first question a lawyer would ask is..........did you report this to the police. So I'm just going to sue him for damages but he's going to get off scott free from from being arrested? That makes no sense Sin.
There has to be something in the State Statues about this. I'm sure the laws are prolly about the same on this in every state.
OJ was found not guilty of his crime in criminal court but was found to have caused the two deaths in civil court.. But if the State had not brought charges against OJ........say he never went to trial, but the Goldman's assumed he was responsible for the deaths............they could just have taken him to civil court? No that sure doesn't make sense.

June 20th, 2005, 10:10 AM
Idnew one way to look at it. It's up to the state to bring or not to bring a criminal case to court and the state should base their decision on the evidence & can the state convince a jury beyond a reasonable doubt with the evidence that will be "allowed" in court (allowed because of the rules that govern in criminal cases) that a defendant is guilty.
You bring a civil suit without the help of the state & civil cases are not bound by the same rules as criminal cases are. Examples, hear say can be brought into a civil case, you don't have to read the defendant their rights & in most cases you can bring up past history. There are many more but you get the idea.
The main thing is you only have to convince a jury on the preponderance of that much more liberal evidence & not beyond a reasonable doubt.

w1che,
I agree with you (there's a surprise). I think you may have misunderstood what I meant by game over. I meant, in a criminal justice trial, once the defense can show that the prosecution's key witnesses are unreliable, you might as well go home. Once the jury gets the idea that the prosecution witnesses could well be lying to them, you won't get a conviction, unless you have other cast-iron evidence.
As for MJ being an non-average guy, well an average Joe would have been unable to afford the legal fees, and probably would have struck a plea bargain. If you can find an average Joe that lives on an enormous ranch with ihis own private security force, llamas, chimps, etc., that is.
But the bottom line is simple. Can you find a serious felony case where (i) the prosecution mainly relied on witness testimony, (ii) those witnesses were mostly shown to be unreliable or untruthful, but (iii) the defendant was still found guilty? I doubt it.

Well, let's see....(i) and (iii) I've had a no-body murder case-- entirely circumstantial-- that resulted in a conviction. Prosecution witnesses were prostitutes, druggies and a homeless guy who spent a lot of time talking to his imaginary friends.
As for (ii), You didn't make notes of the OJ trial, did you? Had you done so, you might have noted that the defense was quite similar in structure to the MJ trial... "Nevermind what my client did, just look at the prosecution's case-in-chief, which is composed of liars and scoundrels..." And, since the prosecution is essentially limited in so many ways, and all it takes is a hive-thinking jury, a guilty defendant goes free.
Now, while the prosecution in the OJ trial presented a veritable blizzard of forensic "hard" evidence to consider, the defense used the techinque of "poisoning the well" by "showing" that such evidence was collected, analyzed and stored by an inept, malicious organization, populated by incompetent liars and racist buffoons.... nevermind what the defendant did.
Oh, and spare me the "Better a hundred guilty go free..." crap.:wink

What is it you don't understand that if a criminal and a civil trial are based on the same accusation of a criminal act, that they are absolutely connected. Connected by the accusation, the evidence, the witnesses, the defendant, the accuser, etc. The rules of evidence may be different for each but the idea that they happen in a vacuum separate from one another is BS. The civil trial often uses the outcome of the criminal trial as the reason for the civil trial. Or, as in the OJ case, that a miscarriage of justice happened in the criminal trial and the plaintiffs are seeking compensation and restitution. In the OJ case they presented the evidence put forward in the criminal trial and showed that a different verdict could have been reasonably reached. The two trials absolutely connected. The difference is the punishment that is meted out by the court if the defendant loses.
If the MJ case goes to a civil suit, all the evidence from the criminal trial and the statements of witnesses etc will find its way into that case. Absolutely connected to one another. Which is the reason the mother and her lawyer made a criminal complaint in order to try and set up the civil suit that would result from the outcome of the criminal trial. Had they been successful with their concocted story of what happened the civil suit would already be filed with the court today. The fact that they were caught in lies and mis-characterization of the facts, will probably keep a civil suit from being filed. The two things absolutely connected to one another.
If they had won the criminal case then a civil suit for money would follow. If they lost the criminal case, then unless there is some major flaw in the criminal case, a civil suit is very unlikely. That is true of most cases involving a "CRIMINAL" accusation. This has nothing to do with non criminal civil suits like the hot coffee suit mentioned earlier.
*note to MJ*
Now you can see why I said:
MJ.. If you stick around I will try to find the patience to explain to Sin the relationship between a criminal prosecution and a civil action where the civil action is brought because of damages caused from a criminal act.
Patience barely covers what it takes. :lol

RK this stuff you are putting out as fact is wrong to it's core. I don't know what state you live in but you need to do some fact checking because I doubt that it's that much different from Missouri. There are many civil suits filed with no criminal action taken first.
Battered wife is one, another is wrongful death, another is fraud. Pick your own bread & butter..
Yes you can use the same evidence in both cases but you can use much more evidence in the civil suit. The civil suit has nothing to do with what happen in the criminal trial at all..
Like someone has said before.. You believe what you want to believe but a good trial lawyer can make you believe things that are not even there..

Sin,
Your court case sounds unusual, but I guess you had to be there.
I notice you didn't answer this question:
Are you saying that if the mother had gone straight to a civil suit, the fact that she had never reported these allegations to the police wouldn't have counted strongly against her case?
What I saw about the OJ case was a documentary made and shown in this country after it was all over, probably never screened in the US. I found the defense's argument quite compelling at the time. IIRC, there was a bloody fingerprint, clear and unsmeared, in a location (I think it was part of the car console) where no-one could have got their hand if they tried, and therefore someone must have been planting evidence, But I admit it was a long time ago.
It's a similar point, though. Once you succeed in introducing reasonable doubt into a jury's mind that the evidence may have been tampered with, the chances of a conviction are very low. In this case, OJ may really have done it (the civil suit succeeded), but once you begin to think the police may have over-egged the pudding, it's all over.

We are using two good cases here because I did hear on the news that the mother would probably file a civil suit.
I'm still trying to figure out how two different jury's are basically going to hear the same thing but may vote different.........like the OJ case and how that is even allowed to happen. I realize that's the law but still it doesn't make sense to be able to turn around and do that. No matter who you are.
dave404
June 20th, 2005, 06:34 PM
Idnew,
The most important difference is "beyond reasonable doubt" (criminal) vs. "balance of probabilities" (civil).
OJ's lawyer convinced the criminal jury that the evidence against him was not strong enough to be "beyond reasonable doubt".
In the civil case though, the question was - given that Nicole was murdered, who was most likely to have been responsible? In the absence of other credible suspects, the jury concluded that the balance of probabilities favoured OJ as the killer.
Whether either verdict was right or wrong, we will probably never know for sure.
