MICHAEL TAKES A MOON WALK....
Much too many people’s surprise, Michael Jackson was found innocent of all charges against him. Actually, it shouldn’t have been that much of a shock. No celebrity, in recent memory, has been convicted of anything – except perhaps having no talent or having the money to hire a brilliant attorney.
So, like it or not – Michael was tried before a jury “of his peers” – in itself a frightening thought – and set free. Jackson took a moonwalk out of the court. Did the local D.A. screw up? Probably. He decided to try the case himself instead of assigning his top trial lawyer to do it. Tom Snedden claims that he was perfectly capable of prosecuting Jackson…after all he watched every episode of Matlock and Perry Mason.
His big mistake was that he got too ambitious and overcharged Michael Jackson. Instead of limiting the charges to molestation – where the evidence was strongest, his dislike of Jackson got in his way, and he also charged him with conspiracy and other bullshit things. The problem with the other charges, especially ‘conspiracy’ is that it brought into the trial the latest victim’s mother who apparently is a serial nutcase. This woman is even weirder than Michael. The jury was totally turned off by her behavior which resembled a patient from a mental home. Guess Snedden never learned that less is more.
Rumor has it that Pope Benedict called to congradulate Michael on his victory. He also urged him to join the Priesthood since it's a great way to meet young boys.
