(The entry date of this posting says June 15th. However, I started this blog on June 13th 2010, and encountered two days of technical difficulties.)
What an auspicious day to initiate this blog! Michael Jackson is remembered with compassion and L*O*V*E on this fifth anniversary of: One of the Most Shameful Episodes In Journalistic History, written by Charles Thomson, award-winning journalist, was published today at Huffington Post
“Reading the court transcripts and comparing them to the newspaper cuttings, the trial that was relayed to us didn’t even resemble the trial that was going on inside the courtroom…Personally, I think it will be remembered as one of the most shameful episodes in journalistic history. ” ~Charles Thomson, journalist
People vs. Jackson This infamous 2005 trial pinpointed recording artist Michael Jackson. His accuser was a boy, Gavin Arvizo, who was 13 years old at the time of the alleged crimes. Michael was indicted for four counts of molesting a minor, four counts of intoxicating a minor, one count of abduction, and one count of conspiring to hold the boy and his family captive at his 2,700-acre Neverland Ranch.
On June 13, 2005, the jury found Michael Jackson not guilty on all charges. Michael had been the victim of a failed extortion attempt.
