Molestation Trial

Hey. I haven't seen this special, but I've heard about it and how biased it supposedly is. When I was looking at the news section of this site, I saw a headline that said the prosecutors in Michael Jackson's molestation trial plan to use the documentary as evidence against him. I was just wondering if anyone else had heard this and what they think about it. Personally, I think it's pretty disgusting to use such a one-sided documentary as "evidence."

My opinion of Michael Jackson is that he is definitely eccentric, but he comes across as a nice guy. I can't say that I think he's a pedophile until someone proves that to be the truth.

Yes, they are using the documentary, which his lawyers fought hard to keep out. I think it's disgusting to profess how loving and charming it is to share a bed with a child, all milk and cookies, and then it turns out that this so-called "child at heart" has a large porn stash that includes naked boys.

Well,they showed it.But given its red nose day next Friday perhaps the jury would find it more entertaining to watch RND 2003s spoof version featuring Lenny Henry and Rowan Atkinson.Incidentally all the talk of kiddie porn would appear to be unfounded.

You people with the cheese,it never stops !

Um, would a documentary calling Charlie Manson evil be called one sided? Hows about Michael Milken?

Dont be an idiot, just because you catch someone acting like a child molester, doesn't mean you are "one sided" when you expose his activities.

Geez that is a stupid POV.

When people accuse this programme of being biased they mean that the footage of Michael Jackson admitting to sleeping with young boys was included but other footage of him doing mundane things was excluded. Even if they had shown every piece of video filmed he would still have made his shocking confessions. Are not the people who still defend Michael Jackson the most biased of all? They see the evidence but will not accept it.
