Why was Michael Jackson stigmatised so harshly?

Oh. I mean... did you see the full list of evidence thump?

I'm trying to be fair too. With that evidence the likelihood of him being innocent is close to nothing right?

I read some of the evidence -- I worked in Santa Barbara when his trial was being held, coverage locally was pretty intense.

I'm of the opinion he probably did some rotten things to those poor kids, but my opinion doesn't determine the facts.

I'm also old enough to remember the McMartin preschool witch-hunt, and how innocent people had their lives ruined over false allegations of pedophila, so I prefer to tread carefully.
