Let me also say that I've read that opinions on this case have been sharply divided on racial lines, e.g., according to the Gallup poll, whites disagree with the verdict by about 2-1 (54% to 28%) while nonwhites take the opposite view by 2-1 (56% to 26%).
I'm a white male Christian and I agree with the verdict.
The people that brought the case to trial were driven by money.
Your analysis on the previous threads is dead on.
It would be interesting to see a pole of the nonwhites that were asked if they think Michael was a molester.
MJ: Guilty

I will admit that I thought OJ was guilty but was rightly acquitted because of my contempt for the LAPD handling of the case.  But I was surprised that Scott Peterson was found guilty on a purely circumstantial case - I had figured that there was ample reasonable doubt in that case.
You are not doubting OJ was guilty just the botch job by the LAPD?
OJ - Guilty

I thought that perhaps OJ with his celebrity had created the kind of sympathy in the minds of the jury that someone like Scott Peterson didn't have.  I thought even Robert Blake generated the sympathy vote.  I just didn't think that Michael Jackson could generate sympathy from a Santa Maria jury.  But apparently he did, and this says a lot about star power in my opinion.
Robert Blake: Guilty

My view is tainted by my feeling that he was probably guilty.  So, in my view, his guilt outweighed any doubt because the doubt was not a reasonable doubt in my mind.   

But I thought I would try to clarify my view for what it's worth.  It's only my opinion.  And yes, it might be skewed by the fact that I'm white and that I think he probably did do what he was accused of.
White or black has nothing to do with it. That is such an easy
ploy by Lawyers and the Press
