Slightly OT - I remember how some posters on this site would spin themselves in a tizzy when the prosecution was questionining a witness. It was pure drama - alot of hand-wringing and doubts and questions. And then TMez would dissect those same witness with ruthless efficiency and fans would calm down. It was rinse and repeat every day of the trial and got pretty tiring tbh. I don't know how we would have coped if we did not get those court transcripts. So I can't really fault the general public who was only getting one side of the story and based their opinion on that.
And to an earlier point about good tv drama, in reading about that Tucker Carlson interview with OJ's prison guard, I now have a real clear sense of the cottage industry that would have developed if Michael had been convicted. Can you imagine the horror of the stories that would have sold by guards and all the rest of it. Lawd it does not even bear thinking about.
What I will say is that there will always be people who think that Michael was guilty. Some feel they have the facts about the case and don't need a delusional fan trying to 'spin things'. Others just 'know', cause ya know he was weird and sh*t. As a fan I deal with those who are willing to let me present my case and who can consider the possibility that they got it wrong. The lady, Pauline, is the kind of person I can connect with. Ray not so much.
Thankfully people like Ray have little to no impact on Michael's legacy, as Terrell said.
