If Jackson is guilty, I hope this kid (currently 13 years old) gets enough money to give him some future happiness. Did you read about the poor kid's history? His parents separated, then divorced. His father pleaded no contest to charges of cruelty to his older sister and also to charges of "corporal injury" to his wife. His father was also charged with two counts of "willful cruelty to a child" (to this boy). And Michael Jackson probably got involved because the boy was at Childrens Hospital in Los Angeles. And that's because he was being treated for leukemia.
Even if Jackson is innocent of this charge, I wish the best for this poor kid. Maybe the media attention will bring him help from well-wishers.

As in the Kobe Bryant case, a lot of people are on his side simply because of his amazing talent in his field. They want to believe he's innocent. I hope they are both innocent and both found innocent.
Phil Spector, on the other hand, doesn't seem to have that much public support.

The news this evening said that, when authorities searched Jackson's ranch, they found intimate love letters from Jackson to the boy. In the previous Jackson case a few years ago, the alleged victim did not want to testify. This time, I heard that by law the boy can be compelled to testify. So the news has been bad for the defense.
