Your anti-Americanism is getting a bit tiresome. I don't believe there is some grand conspiracy on the part of the US government and state agencies to persecute Michael and ruin him. To what end?
There were some unscrupulous actors but you can find those in any country.
At the end of the day, the FBI exonerated Michael and he was acquitted on all counts by an American jury.
For the most part, justice took its course.
This whole thing is off topic but just to be clear I'm not against all Americans. This site wouldn't exist without Americans. Tom Mez is American so was Scott Ross, Susan Yu, the people who testified for MJ etc. I know there were Americans who hated what was done to MJ. But it's also a fact that it was Americans, inside and outside of the government, who made MJ's life a living hell and they enjoyed every minute of it. Americans boosted Court TV's ratings Americans bought papers with "Sweat, Freak!" on the cover. It was more
than just some unscrupulous actors.
No need for a GRAND conspiracy. The LAPD, SBSD, two DAs offices, a couple of judges and the FBI were enough.
To what end? What about burying the biggest black icon ever under the worst possible stigma?
MJ was relentlessly investigated, harassed, humiliated, indicted, dragged through a trial,
driven from his home, his rights were repeatedly violated by judges, policemen and DAs
without any measurable outrage from the American public
I wouldn't call that justice it was a travesty of justice. It was evil. It showed America's ugly side.
But you're the same person who keeps complaining that the judge in the Wade Robson case won't just throw the case out so I understand why this goes way above your head.
It's a question of right and wrong not legal technicalities. It's wrong to allow a pack of obvious lies and absurdities go on in the court system for years and it's wrong to raid someone's home with 70 policemen just because some crook walked in and said he was molested. It's also wrong to strip search someone then have the photos of his genitalia stored for years especially when the photos actually prove his innocence. Just two of the many abhorrent actions against MJ done by American government officials and approved by millions of ordinary Americans.
The real blame for the public's negative perception of Michael lies with 1) the accusers and 2) the media and how they reported on the allegations. You can't fault ordinary Americans who weren't MJ fans for believing the verdict was wrong when they had been fed a steady diet of lies and one-sided coverage for months.
Sneddon, Dworin, Garcetti, Weiss, Zonen, Robel, Zelis, Thomas, Birchim, Neglia, Linden and everyone who participated in this witch-hunt is responsible for making it possible for the media to cover up for the Chandlers,Francias and Arvizos in the first place instead of telling the truth that the accusers had no credibility, period.
I would fault anyone who thinks articles in the New York Post or Nancy Grace's tirades give an accurate picture
of what goes on in a courtroom during a 3-month long trial.
And exactly who were the market for that one sided coverage?
Joe and Jane Q. The American plebs, they sure found that one sided coverage very entertaining
and those running Fox, NBC, ABC, Court TV, HLN knew it.
