Acquitted 

June 13th, 2005:
Remember this date for it is part of HIStory.

This and other ridiculousness can be found at the The Official Source for Michael Jackson News and Information.

The line of the day came from the jury foreman who during an interview on CNN was asked whether jurors hoped Jacko had learned any lessons from the trial.

"We would hope ... that he doesn't sleep with children anymore."

(Added later:) Joel Achenbach has a thoughtful posting in his WashingtonPost.com blog: Would Michael Jackson have been acquitted if he was black? "Not a chance", says Achenbach. "...as a Bleached American, Jackson served merely as the representative of ALL multi-millionaire, has-been, facially mutilated pop stars who are suspected of touching boys during sleepovers at their mansion.
...During the coverage last night the TV showed young Michael, dancing and singing in his prime, and my eldest daughter said, incredulously, "That's Michael Jackson?" Yes, that was Michael Jackson, doing "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough," handsome, talented beyond belief, charming, smiling, black, and male."
