Leaving Neverland, HBO

[midnightman]

Saying Michael can't defend himself because he died long ago is kinda lame since when he WAS alive, he DIDN'T even attempt a defense. He either plead the fifth or he wouldn't take the stand [[which he didn't at his trial). Plus, another dead legend was exposed for being a serial child abuser [[among other things) in the UK [[Jimmy Savile).

Also, what does that do to the two victims whose lives he harmed? I'm sorry, but I can't buy that these guys were "setting him up". That's a failed tactic used by the Jackson camp. Not to mention, the first time he was accused, he settled for $25 million [[$18 million to the child himself), he gave another family of a boy who accused sexual abuse $2 million and who slept multiple nights ALONE with boys, even with boys who defended his actions [[Macaulay Culkin, Brett Barnes, etc.).

This is a guy who when prompted said sleeping in the bed with children was okay and thought it was nothing wrong sharing a bed with a child. How can ANYONE here or anywhere else defend that? Seriously, y'all are defending THIS?

Again, I ask any of you defending this, would you let a person, no matter if they were a famous singer or not, sleep with a child unrelated to them and if you say yes, then you said more than I needed to know about you.
