To say that money and celebrity don't influence the outcome of a trial, you've got to be pretty off base.
I agree that money can't buy innocence - certainly not directly. But to say that money can't buy a positive verdict is just plain silly and incredibly naïve. Why are lobbies for certain industries so large and why are millions of dollars invested every year in them?
Sorry but money can, to a very large and very real extent, buy you off. Maybe not indirectly, but it can and does have a very powerful influence.
The OJ trial jurors sat there for ages and they sure didn't have any "insight". Bunch of complete idiots hand picked by the defense team. When they interviewed those retards afterwards it turned out they had all fallen for the lame "glove don't fit, you must acquit" thing. "duuhhh ummm it must be true cuz it uhhmmmm like rhymes and stuff".
Lame, but memorable and obviously quite effective
People remember it more than a sh*tload of hard evidence
Woof, Woof - Dawg
Innocent or not is irrelevant. He was either found not guilty in a court of law or settled out of court.
If the parents of the alleged victim feel that financial payment is reward enough for what they claim for molestation, who is the guilty party?
Would I take a couple of million quid to keep silent knowing that my child had been raped and molested? No.
But I would if I (had no morals and) made it all up and manipulated the situation and circumstance for a few easy million $.
In my mind that is a crime in itself. Any parent that sells their own child's innocence in that manner is a guilty as the accused.
Yikes. I stopped reading after three pages, or else I'd have to get a bucket. What a disgusting creep.
This has gone from "Micheal Jackson died" to "Micheal Jackson was a pedophile and I'll be damned if anyone believes differently" and "Micheal Jackson was never found guilty by a jury, how dare you accuse him of that!"
No one is going to win this arguement. Only the possibly affected children, the possibly lying parents, Micheal Jackson, and "The Higher Power" know for certain.
PRSI?

That part is easy.
He wanted this nose...
...these eyes and eyebrows...
...and this chin...
So the question you should be asking isn't how, but why?

awesome examples....
Dysmorphia perhaps?
To be exact Facial Dysmorphia.
He obviously had difficulties, most child prodigy's are know to be 'different' or 'special' for want of a better word.
To get to the point, he was not in very well state of mind.
If you or I go to a plastic surgeon and say, "I want to look like Liz Taylor", they press the button under the table and the men in white jackets take you away.
If you are a celeb and you ask to look like Liz Taylor and throw $100,000 on the table, they will do anything you want.
ANYTHING.
All part of the fame game. Gives the family time to get their stories straight and ducks in a row.
What I'm most curious about is where is 'Doctor Nick'? (For you youngens, that is a reference to Elvis' doctor and not The Simpons). What kind of doctor gives CPR to a person lying in a bed? At least that what seems to have happened based on the 911 call.
And the significance of the need for an exact time is?
And the purpose of the autopsy is to confirm that he......urm........died?
Waiting for the conspiracy theory threads to start!
Has anybody seen him in a supermarket yet?
The purpose is to make a preliminary determination of......urm.....the cause of death, which is significant to anyone interested in knowing this and insignificant to anyone who isn't. What the latter category is doing in a thread about.....urm....Michael Jackson's death is anyone's guess.
Why do you have such a perverse interest in a such a technical routine aspect of death. Are you a doctor......, perhaps you are writing a paper?
How will this make a difference to your day?
Interest is ok, I think 'healthy interest' is the point I am making.
This is NOT a healthy interest.
Well, then I suppose I share this unhealthy interest with CNN, CBS News and ABC News, who all have the autopsy briefing as their top story right now. I suppose you know a lot more about public interest than they do, perhaps you can share your insights about "perversions" with them.
Since you seem confused, an autopsy briefing is not a detailed medical breakdown where we get details on the state of various body parts in Latin, it's a simple layman's terms statement about the probable cause of death. Probably of zero interest to medical students and "perverts".
It is lame to be sitting by the TV wait for the words of a doctor to tell you what you already know.
I will be interested in hearing the results autopsy, however unlike you I am not fussed if it comes out at 4.30, 5.30 or 6.36pm.
I think it is sad that you are swept up in false need to somehow think this will make a difference somehow.
A bit like waiting for Phil the Groundhog to show up and tell you if you will have a good winter, or not.
Talking of "unhealthy interests":
