It's been asked a million times but...

Do you think he's innocent? I've read all the hype & heard about the court cases but I'm not sure I believe it. Obviously without speaking to the kids themselves none of us will ever know, but do you personally think that Jacko has abused kids? I think he is a very strange individual who has never lived within our world as he has always been treated differently. I think that resorting to child like behaviour is his way of surviving the crazy media whirl & that anything he has been accused of has been taking advantage of his position. I know this is quite controversial & I would never say that I am right as I don't know the facts, just my opinion that's all. Nica x

I say he really did do it but is denying it hoping people will believe him. Don't you find it suspicious that he would settle the first case out of court rather than prove his innocence? A lot of things add up and Michael's behavior. He is ashamed of being a pedophile but wants people to think he is not a pedophile.

I don't know - I always feel a little "torn" on this issue. I tend to view him very much in the way that you describe, as a very strange individual who resorts to child-like behaviour because he doesn't live in the "real" world. Then, on the other hand, common sense also comes into it and I think the child-like behaviour is just a mask for his paedophile tendencies. Maybe it's because I grew up listening to Michael Jackson and I love his earlier recordings so there's maybe a bit of sentiment coming into play there. But on balance, my gut feeling is that he's guilty. I know he's strange and suffered an abusive childhood and stuff like that but then so have a lot of other paedophiles. If he wasn't a celebrity I don't think there would be any real question mark over the whole thing. As you said though that's just my opinion.

The first time that they accused him, I had my doubts. Now, I really do not believe that he would do such a thing. I believe that he has Borderline Personality Disorder. Which basically means that emotionally he is still a child. I think that he has put himself under the eye of suspicion because of some of the things that he does around kids. But, as far as hurting them in any way, I really do not believe he did that.
