    Ignorance is so contagious! Just because he settled out of court doesn't make him guilty either. Maybe he was tired of the stress and humiliation. As stated earlier, the family wasn't too concerned with "justice" for the child to settle, it was all about the money and Micheal was an easy target because they knew how he felt about children. Only God can judge him s

    Many tobacco lawsuits were settled out of court too, does that mean the tobacco industry is completely innocent of the charges which were brought against them? It's a fact that people can be bought especially people with huge debts. What are you willing to drop for 1 million and then what else would you drop for 12 million. Be honest with yourself. jem, you cry racism like a racist.

    people who claim he didn't touch those boys should watch his interview tape from 60 minutes where he says how much he loves sharing his bed with children and the ensuing back pedaling as he realised he had just come out as the NAMBLA poster boy. When you settle you are found neither guilty or not guilty, the case is removed from judgment and settled contractually.

    There is a huge gap between perfect and pedophile. People don't settle against outrageous claims, they fight them. People settle to avoid the truth becomming a matter of record in court. BTW Elvis married a girl who was 10 years his junior he didn't rape or molest boys 30 years younger and terminally ill. Most successful musician does not equate to best artist. It's not a

    People would do anything and say anything for that kind of cash!! That boy and his family were awarded over $12 million dollars.....so much for them wanting justice for there child!! That just goes to show that it was ALL about money. People need to stop being so judgemental!! Educate yourselves before you look down on others, no one is perfect!! RIP Michael J. Jackson "The King of Pop

    Regardless of the ridiculous accusations, Michael Jackson was an amazing performer, artist, entertainer etc....His legacy will forever live on in the hearts of those who love him and his music. And unless people were in the same room with him to know if he actually molested any child then PLEASE....STOP WITH THE IGNORANCE!!

    We all have a right to speak what we feel at the same time who are u to judge him in the eyes of the court he was found not guilty. As a matter of fact if he did what some believe he has to face the one and only person which is god to make his case. On the other hand no one here can deny the fact that MJ was the best artist of the world and will always be remembered. My he rest in peace.
