77. My purpose in responding to you is not to try to say . .
. . that you are wrong. I just want to expose you to another set of possibilities.

When an army of lawyers prevail it's usually on a technicality. In this case a very reasonable jury said that the prosecution had/made no credible case.

A jury member said they did believe he molested boys but that the DA didn't make the burden of proof. Think about that. MJ was accused of molesting the boy. This jury member said they really believed he did it.

If that was true then the jurist lied. They should have convicted him.

I think this jurist was fearing the outcry from people (perhaps like you) who would have him convicted regardless of the burden of proof.
