Michael Jackson: The Verdict

in advance sorry for the long review- I’ve been a Micheal Jackson fan since birth, and have absolutely loved Michael’s music, that was until recently when I heard about these allegations. There are good points on either side, that he ‘wouldn’t do something like that’ and wanted to protect children from what he had gone through, the accusations were supposedly coming from people who were money hungry but, the evidence against him is horrible, things like finding child porn in his house, the whole ‘jesus juice’ thing, sleeping with children in his bed and being accused of molestation. Furthermore, since the allegations are serious I can’t really look past them, in the case of accusations like these, I personally feel it’s guilty until proven innocent (not formally or in law, just in the sense that I can’t support him until I have evidence he is innocent). I will always believe victims especially when they are children. It’s sad to think someone I’ve enjoyed the music of and very much looked up to in the past would do such a thing but without much strong evidence defending him, it’s hard to support him. At the end of the day, my main concern isn’t whether he’s innocent or guilty but whether these children, now adults, are okay. I hope they are doing well now.
