Fucking sad but let's not let rich celebrities buying their way out of jail with their fame and money fool us. MJ IS GUILTY.
In fact, if Bill Cosby was tried in LA guess what? He'd get off too. (Whoops, bad choice of words!)

Actually you have it backwards. You were a foreigner living in LA for the first time so YOU were starstruck
. I lived in LA as well and you see famous people all the time it's desensitizing. Now I live in the OC and experience the same thing no big deal.
People have more power to persuade OUTSIDE of LA. Michael Jackson's trial was in Santa Barbara. This could be why he was able to use his star power for influence over the trial? I dunno. He's dead. The same people who were trying to make money off Michael Jackson while he was alive are trying to make money off him while he's dead and that won't stop it will go on until the day we die just like Elvis, Marilyn Monroe, etc. Michael Jackson's family will continue to pay large amounts of money to keep his name clean because they make money off his legacy.
