I never listened to his music before, if I could help it. I don't think I'll start.

Of course I do get the news, but I didn't hear anything which would be good for 1 day jail, at least over here.
Did he rape or rape and kill a child?
Destroy the childhood of any child?
Making a child participate in clear sexual actions?
I ask because I, like many other Europeans, remember VERY well the atrocious news about the 11 year old Swiss boy, Raoul Wütrich, who was handcuffed and jailed for a longer time in Denver/Colorado (1999). U.S. 'authorities accused' him of "incest" because he was seen helping his little sister peeing in the garden. He was freed by an international movement of diplomatic pressure and the Swiss government, otherwise he still would be in jail.
What a joke that was and how they have destroyed this little boy's life and that of his family!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have no understanding and no trust in U.S. laws and authorities, so I have no trust in the allegations put in line against Michael Jackson. Let's see what the prosecutors are coming up with, except of "erotic magazines" in his household.

The only album I ever liked by him was " Thriller ".
I'll still like it no matter the outcome of his trial, but I do NOT like the man. Never did, actually.

Well, me personally I am used to the "innocent until proven guilty" principle.
No matter what MJ did or didn't do, he is already guilty for the majority of the public and obviously even bands in Hongkong can't play his songs anymore.
Me personally I think that there are LOTS of ridiculous laws (unfortunately not 'ridiculous' for those punished under those laws) in the U.S. and that there is a double-standard of "justice" in place who does not favor black people anyway.
So I'm personally simply very careful in evaluating the Jackson case.
Quote: No criminal charges in LA police beating
Community leaders, mayor disappointed
Friday, February 4, 2005 Posted: 10:41 AM EST (1541 GMT)
LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- A police officer who was videotaped beating an auto theft suspect with a heavy flashlight -- a case that evoked comparisons to the Rodney King beating -- will not face criminal charges, prosecutors announced.
The district attorney's office spent five months reviewing the incident, in which Officer John Hatfield struck Stanley Miller 11 times with a 2-pound steel flashlight after a June 23 car-and-foot chase.
Miller, who is black, was beaten on the ground after he appeared to have surrendered. Hatfield, who is Hispanic, ran up and joined other officers who had pushed Miller down.
"Miller had led officers on a high-speed ... pursuit in a recently stolen car and failed to comply with orders to stop and show his hands," the report said. "Miller's furtive movements during the chase led officer to believe he might be arming himself."
The June 23 beating, videotaped by television news helicopters, drew comparisons to the 1991 videotaped beating of black motorist Rodney King, and black community leaders and Mayor James Hahn said they were disappointed by the district attorney's decision not to prosecute.
"I do not agree with that decision. I saw what you saw," Hahn said.
The incident began with a police pursuit of a stolen Toyota. During the chase, according to the district attorney's report, Hatfield's partner radioed that the suspect was reaching for something under the car seat.
Another officer who grappled with Miller said he saw a small bulge in Miller's waistband and shouted "gun" during the melee, according to the report.
No gun was found.
