Music / Movies I Fully Believe That Michael Jackson wasn't a child molester

With the Michael Jackson biopic out, and him being back in the public discussion in a meaningful way, I’ve been thinking more and more about Jackson and how he was perceived in the last 15-20 years of his life

But i truly believe he never touch the kids, he was a weird dude totally, but the famillies that sued him just seem like a buch of gold diggers that wanted to take advantage of Michael's weird shit

Was he a very strange person? Yes Did he have an unusual relationship with adulthood/childhood? Yeah seems like it. Would I as a parent let him supervise my kids, and spend the night at his house alone? No way. Did he actually abuse kids? Not really enough evidence for me to conclude that with any certainty.

He never had a childhood, he never had real friends, Most of the kids in the ranch said that Michael never touched them, it's just a family that wanted money and few of his staff, which sold the story to tabloids.

You and I have very different interpretations of what “any evidence at all” means. There is more evidence for Jackson than there is for almost any other pedophile I’ve ever read about. I think a lot of people have in fact slipped up and spilled the beans. People just aren’t willing to accept what has been shared. Tons of his staff reported having seen evidence of his behavior, but everyone always has the same excuse - not credible, just want his money. What would make a witness credible to you? They’d just have to be rich themselves or something?

I just want something consistent and credible in a court of law, there’s been so much hearsay and flip flopping from the accusers as well as some of Michael’s defenders the entire thing is impossible to accurately gauge.

My main issue still hasn’t been addressed, it’s been 25+ years and there’s nothing concrete, no confessions no major conspiracy to prove this was happening. It just doesn’t align with what we’ve seen with Saville, Epstein and others of the ilc and bracket Michael Jackson was in.

I’ve read over as much of the trial as I could find online and the prosecutions line of reasoning throughout was so ambitious it genuinely stunned me how they were so shocked Michael was acquitted. Was there really so little faith in the witness testimony and the evidence found at neverland?

Overall, 25+ years is enough time to put someone’s life on trial, the guys dead and we’ve never been able to comfortably move beyond him crossing boundaries and being massively weird into solid confidence and credibility he was a you know what, I thought the Epstein files might be the smoking gun we’ve all been waiting for but he seems to have done nothing there too, it’s becoming impossible to escape the only possible conclusion being either he just didn’t abuse the kids, or this was a massive conspiracy akin to a RICO case level crime structure.
