Can he now 'claim' his money back, the money he needed to spent to fight his innocence?
(dont think the family can affort that , but just curious how that works)

I dont think so... unless he sues back?
I dont really think we can comment on whether or not the jury made the right decision because we weren't in the court-room. All we have to go on is the media, which can be really biased. For example, people here think he is either guilty or not depending on what channel they watch their news on (2 main ones in Aus, makes it easier).
59% of australians said he is not guilty those who did the poll
I just think the media is full of manipulation
yes the guy is wiered and has a few problems but no not a pedofile.. I think people just going by way strange and queer person he is rather then go by the true facts..
he was found not guilty of a charge he definately was guilty of. meaning the prosecution were soft on him. how many other charges was he really guilty but let off for.Originally Posted by BigBank_Hank
The charge was giving alcohol to minor so that he could molest them. They couldn't prove that he gave it to them for that purpose.Originally Posted by GepperRankins
Him giving them alcohol wasn't the issue.
him giving them alcohol was one of the options the judge gave them (according to the bbc this morning)
But How can anyone of you sit here and say "well he's guilty of this"...or "its ridiculous he got of..." or whatever.
How many of those saying stuff like this were jurors in the case? or lawyers of the case? In other words - How many of you have seen the evidence presented? How many of you know anything about it?
The guy was found "not guilty" - this means there isnt enough evidence for anyone to prove he is guilty, so until you can back up your allegations, dont speak!

Well, I don't think giving a minor alcohol if they are lawfully in your own home is an offence in the UK provided they are of a certain age - 12 I think, and even younger if it's your own child or if the child's parents are present. I really don't know about the US.Originally Posted by vivitron15
As I understand it, the lesser charge that you speak of would have been administering alcohol but not molesting the child. This doesn't preclude intent of molestation and is presumably why they didn't convict since they couldn't be sure.
As to the rest ... all we do is discuss hear'say and news reports. Mostly I can never back up my assertions with hard fact 'cos googling is such a chore, it's just my opinion.
In a sense, Tom Sneddon succeeded regardless of Michael Jackson beeing acquitted, as the responses of some here illustrates.
He will forever be labeled as the guy who might be a pedophile.
I don't know if he did it or not (see, I'm doubtful myself), but beeing acquitted certainly doesn't clean his name.
Atleast it illustrates the power some people have in their posession over others.
If he reallt is innocent he should atleast sue back, and not do as the case is now to move on and forget about the case.
What evidence do you have to support that to say it with such certainty?Originally Posted by GepperRankins
