The jury in the Michael Jackson trial is taking way too long
....based on the facts presented to them. It's clear that many jurors likely DO NOT BELIEVE the accusors...or they think that Jacko was being "set up" by the accusors family for other reasons...
Jacko clearly has problems and needs an "intervention" to help him sort out his life...but he is not a "child predator" that is dangerous to the public....
Very likely, the jury is considering the providing alcohol to minors charge as an alternative to the more serious charge of molestation... JACKOS ACCUSERS ARE SIMPLY NOT SYMPATHETIC PEOPLE.....AND JACKOS ACTIONS IN THIS CASE, WHILE WRONG, WERE NOT AGGRAVATED ENOUGH TO WARRANT A LONG TERM JAIL SENTENCE....
THAT SAID, JACKSON WILL LIKELY NOT BE TOTALLY OFF THE HOOK....ON THE ALCOHOL CHARGE HE WOULD BE SUBJECT TO LONG TERM COURT SUPERVISION....ON PENALTY OF JAILING. CLEARLY, JACKSON NEEDS SOME KIND OF CONTROL OVER HIS ACTIONS...AND PERHAPS A BIT OF THERAPY AS WELL.
THE "SPLIT THE DIFFERENCE" VERDICT HERE IS THE LESSER INCLUDED OFFENSE OF PROVIDING ALCOHOL TO MINORS...THIS PROVIDES EVERYTHING THAT IS NEEDED IN THIS CASE, WITHOUT REWARDING THE ACCUSERS FOR THEIR OBVIOUS ATTEMPT TO EXPLOIT JACKO'S WACKINESS....
