[Mr. Kotter]

In case anyone REALLY cared.... :shake:

About to be announced....per CNN.

Jurors reach verdict in Jackson trial

SANTA MARIA, California (CNN) -- Jurors in the Michael Jackson child molestation trial told the trial judge Monday that they have reached a verdict.

The announcement came after about 32 hours of deliberations.

Earlier Monday jurors requested the continuation of the reading of the teen accuser's lengthy testimony, sources close to the case said. The accuser was on the stand for four days in March.

Meanwhile, attorneys for media outlets, including CNN, filed another motion with the court Monday, demanding access to hearings where the court is answering jurors' questions and requests to listen to the reading of previous testimony.

"Barring the public from these final, pivotal stages of this case is, from a constitutional standpoint, simply intolerable," the media attorneys argued in their motion.

Santa Barbara County Superior Court Judge Rodney Melville has set a hearing for Thursday on a previous request to disclose jury questions and release transcripts of hearings.

Media attorneys have been pressing the judge to move up the hearing's date, arguing that their request will be moot if the jury reaches a verdict first.

Jackson's attorneys have filed a motion opposing the media's request, arguing that providing public access to the jury's questions, and hearings related to them, "would invade the confidentiality of the jury deliberation process and would threaten Mr. Jackson's right to a fair trial."

Sources said Melville and attorneys in the case have met at least three times as jurors deliberated.

The jurors adjourned Friday afternoon, ending six days of discussion on the 10 accusations against the pop star....

[cadmonkey]

It better be Guilty........it won't though

[Coach]

Keep us informed for those who have no TV.

Thanks Mr. Kotter.

[go bo]

hey kotter...

aren't you supposed to be multi-tasking in the d.c. forum?

[Phobia]

There ain't no way they find OJ guilty.

[Mr. Kotter]

hey kotter...

aren't you supposed to be multi-tasking in the d.c. forum?

That place is dying a slow death over there....

FTR, though....right now I have a MS Word document, my grademachine files, ChiefsPlanet, Washington Post, ESPN, Nation, Salon, and the Weather Channel "windows" opened....WHILE I'm monitoring "independent study" for summer school....

Now that's talent....heh. :p

[Mr. Kotter]

There ain't no way they find OJ guilty.

That's my thought; but they might have some guilty verdicts on the lesser charges... :shake:

[BIG_DADDY]

It took the jury longer than I thought. He may have some issues being it took so long. If they got him on the big charge l see a suicide in Michaels future. I hope he doesn't just walk.

[Donger]

Gawd. Watching it on TV. They're going to have doctors and a stretcher standing by, in case he faints if guilty.

[Mr. Kotter]

Keep us informed for those who have no TV.

Thanks Mr. Kotter.

You're welcome; I saw it on the net though...gonna turn on the tube now...

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

I got $10 bucks says he gets off.... no pun intended.


Plus I'm just not convinced he's guilty. Being weird doesn't make you a criminal and there are more holes in the prosecution's case than in the porn industry...as I've said before.

What about the alcohol and porn?

Sleeping with little boys is more than wierd....it's stupid; and as far as I'm concerned, it's criminal....

Wow, you're the Rich Scanlon of teachers. Everybody else wastes time on the Planet but groundhog here "multi-tasks".

[chagrin]

everybody knows he won't be convicted

[Mile High Mania]

This helicopter view of Neverland and the SUVs is a whip... I keep waiting for an SNL skit to break out.

[mlyonsd]

What about the alcohol and porn?

Sleeping with little boys is more than wierd....it's stupid; and as far as I'm concerned, it's criminal....

The parents of those kids should be tried for something IMO. Anyone that would knowing let their kid spend the night at that freaktard circus is committing a criminal act too.

[MOhillbilly]

BET.

You misspelled Scanlon.

[BIG_DADDY]

Gawd. Watching it on TV. They're going to have doctors and a stretcher standing by, in case he faints if guilty.

ROFL

God I wish I could see that.

[teedubya]

You misspelled Scanlon.

hah... i was about to say the same thing.

[Donger]

ROFL

God I wish I could see that.

Oh, I think that you can be sure that if that does happen, you'll see plenty of it.

[BIG_DADDY]

Oh, I think that you can be sure that if that does happen, you'll see plenty of it.

I want to see him cry, does that make me a bad guy?

[chagrin]

It does to CMac

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

What about the alcohol and porn?

Sleeping with little boys is more than wierd....it's stupid; and as far as I'm concerned, it's criminal....
You've never had alcohol or porn eh? I've yet to hear anyone prove that he shared those things with the kids. If he really did then that is certainly wrong. I obviously haven't been sitting on the jury and heard everything. What I have heard was just testimony from people trying to convict him.

Sleeping with children is strange yes. As far as I know though the law isn't written "as far as Mr. Kotter is concerned."


:)

I'm not saying I think he is innocent. I don't know. I'm certainly not convinced from this trial that he is guilty though either.

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

BET.
mmkay....but just so ya know...I'm gonna welch on the bet if I lose....


:p

[Phobia]

It does to CMac

Dude - C-Mac has been here 5 years and never had a run-in with anybody. Let it go.

[cadmonkey]

He is just leaving the Neverland ranch right now.

[Donger]

I want to see him cry, does that make me a bad guy?

Nope.

This is just stupid. The Freak just left his house to get to the courtroom (late) and they are covering the SUV caravan from helicopters.

[KChiefs1]

I'm surprised that he isn't coming in in an ambulance.

[jiveturkey]

There's more of a media presence for this stupid Jackson trial than there is in Iraq. :shrug:

[Donger]

Damnit. They interrupt me watching his SUVs driving along with news of a plane crash???

[chagrin]

Dude - C-Mac has been here 5 years and never had a run-in with anybody. Let it go.



So, let me get this straight. It's okay for him to give me a "life lesson" lecture, but I can't have any fun with it? Or should I wait to be here 5 years so I have the right to do so?

[jiveturkey]

Damnit. They interrupt me watching his SUVs driving along with news of a plane crash???It's a diversion. He's going to high tail it to the airport and head for France.

[Coach]

It's a diversion. He's going to high tail it to the airport and head for France.


Wouldn't work. Them F-15's or F-22's will shoot it out of the sky.

[gblowfish]

Oooh...the VERDICT! I'm so excited. Is Bubbles going along? If Michael goes to jail I just don't know WHAT I'll do...he's so misunderstood....if he goes to jail I'll take a whole pack of cub scouts to visit him...and we'll pretend to climb trees, and play hide and go seek....and have some wine in a Coke can......


yeeesh....

I hope they put in in San Quentin and put him in with Big Bad John.
Try to keep his mud flap on....

Although he may enjoy that....


errrrrrr......

I hate pop culture.
Think I'll go back to work now...

[Pennywise]

I want to see him cry, does that make me a bad guy?

He will probably be showin’ how funky strong is his fight because it doesn’t matter who’s wrong or right. And he'll beat it.

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

Nope.

This is just stupid. The Freak just left his house to get to the courtroom (late) and they are covering the SUV caravan from helicopters.
...and why do they do that...? Because you're watching.... Having spent most of my life working in the media I always love it when people bitch about stupid media coverage...while they can't pull themselves away from it.


fwiw... I think it's stupid too... but people watch and advertisers love it when people watch... and they pay big bucks for it.

[Phobia]

So, let me get this straight. It's okay for him to give me a "life lesson" lecture, but I can't have any fun with it? Or should I wait to be here 5 years so I have the right to do so?

You do whatever you want. We don't play that stupid seniority shit here. I was making a suggestion as a fellow user of this BB, not as a mod or anything like that. My point was that C-Mac is a decent guy and he doesn't derride people for no reason.

[Kclee]

He will probably be showin’ how funky strong is his fight because it doesn’t matter who’s wrong or right. And he'll beat it.

Nice.

[cadmonkey]

Because at this point more people care about the trial than what's going on in Iraq :shake:

[Donger]

Heh, I actually just turned it off.

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

Heh, I actually just turned it off.
good for you.

[Mr. Kotter]

The parents of those kids should be tried for something IMO. Anyone that would knowing let their kid spend the night at that freaktard circus is committing a criminal act too.

Yup.

[JohninGpt]

There's more of a media presence for this stupid Jackson trial than there is in Iraq. :shrug:
And not a single reporter has been blown up while covering the trial.

[BIG_DADDY]

He will probably be showin’ how funky strong is his fight because it doesn’t matter who’s wrong or right. And he'll beat it.

He shook his fist at the camera once like he was keeping up the good fight. I laughed my ass off. ROFL

[chagrin]

I'm sure he is a decent guy, I didn't say anything about his character, which is opposite of what he did regarding my character. Look, I see how it goes here, I read almost every post and I see that noobs get called out a hell of alot more than anyone. So, I sit back and read the wicked nasty posts regarding some fat chick or some ugly dude, etc and say nothing, but when I or any other noob puts something out there, it's just friggin hilarious to watch the "righteousness" suddenly appear.

Phil, your a cool dude and you've always been cool to me but please don't tell me that doesn't happen here.

P.S. I wrote that about it being a big deal to CMac in good fun, that's all. I guess I didn't think I needed to use a smiley.

[Coach]

Is Al Cowlings driving the SUV?

[Mr. Kotter]

...I've yet to hear anyone prove that he shared those things with the kids. If he really did then that is certainly wrong...

Fair enough. I suppose OJ was innocent too, though....eh?

And we never REALLY landed on the moon, either? :p

Seriously though, musicians and artists can be wierd, I know....but MJ takes the cake, man.... :shake:

[Skip Towne]

Dude - C-Mac has been here 5 years and never had a run-in with anybody. Let it go.
That's right. I've met him. He's a sweetheart, much like myself.

[Donger]

He shook his fist at the camera once like he was keeping up the godd fight. I laughed my ass off. ROFL

Heh. That reminds me of that In Living Color skit of "Am I Black or White?"

[Mr. Kotter]

I'm gonna predict this now:

If he's convicted, he will spontaneously combust in the court room....that or he'll turn into a bat (or fruitfly?) and dissappear through a window....

[Phobia]

"It" does happen, everywhere. My point was that I don't play it and when we moderators are wearing our mod hats, we are encouraged to look past registration date, amount of posts, rep, and all that other happy horseshit in order to reach a fair resolution.

[Iowanian]

why can some Murder trials wrap up in 3 days, and it takes 6 months and eleventy million Dollars to decide if Michael Jackson sucked the stem of another young apple?

Imagine how nasty he's going to look in prison...no makeup....His hair is going to turn gray and kink back up......

When they say "guilty"....I hope he stands up, cries and says "noooo! Thatth ig-nent"

[BIG_DADDY]

Its not going to help his chances of finding someone to play 'Rubba' with.

Wrong decade, wrong trial...

[Hammock Parties]

Jacko will grab a kid from the crowd and bolt to a white Ford Bronco. A high-speed chase will occur.

Not sure if the site is SFW.

[Coach]

Jesus F. Christ. He's deftinaly late for the verdict reading. He should be fined severly for being late. WTF is he doing, runnin around at his ranch, while he could be in the f**king slammer?

[Iowanian]

"Mr Jackson, why were you Late? Judge Ito is going to bery bery upset!"

"Ah was loookin at the maaaaan in the mirror"

What are you going to be saying your first Night in GenPop?

"EEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeee"

[Coach]

*Grabs that umbrella and throws it away and starts to kick his skinny ass in the courtroom* "YOUR LATE!"

Damn, what is up with that family's noses? Jesus, they look like a bunch of pugs.

Perhaps you could point me to a channel outside Animal Planet that isn't covering it. Even though I saw it in the crawl, I didn't take my mug away from Jeopardy until the network switched over.

Law degrees ain't worth shit nowadays.

jury just seated..., Judge came in.

[Coach]

Judge revieing the written verdict.

[Donger]

Not guilty, count one.

[Donger]

Not guilty, count two.

[Donger]

He's gonna walk.

[Coach]

Not Guilty.

[Iowanian]

Not Guilty?

I'll bet he Moonwalks his arse out of court and mouths the words "call me" while making the universal Pinky-thumb handphone gesture, to a small boy in the crowd outside the courthouse.

I think he's a kid raping douchebag, but its quite probable that this bunch set him up.

Outside the Courthouse trouble begins again, as Michael goes into his Primal Rage Scream, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!" and goes Braveheart on a Geo Metro in the lot with his 3lb anvil hammer.

EEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeee

[Donger]

Wow. They didn't even find him guilty of giving the kid wine.

[tk13]

Good deal. I can't stand it when sue-happy morons get their way. This woman has a history of crap lawsuits to try and weasel money out of people... not this time.

[Mile High Mania]

Rumor is he stood up, danced on the table, grabbed his crotch and said "HEE HEE".

[Simplex3]

So is anyone else ready to start mandated testing before participation in govt? To vote you must pay taxes and the ballots are all write-in. To get on a jury you must pay taxes and have an IQ above average.

[Delano]

WTF is wrong with the people in that crowd?

[Delano]

Good deal. I can't stand it when sue-happy morons get their way. This woman has a history of crap lawsuits to try and weasel money out of people... not this time.


I wonder what the odds of Jackson suing someone over this ordeal are.

[Iowanian]

They're Michael jackson fans, or related to the Pilfering "people" who would let thier pre-teen sons sleep in the same bed with a 45 year old Accused Boy-raper.

What are they doing?
