Innocence, guilt and fatty lawyers

Being declared innocent in court does not mean you're truly innocent. Even if you're innocent unless proven guilty, the truth is if you had indeed committed a crime, then you have been guilty since -- never mind the justice system.

* Note: I'm not saying Michael Jackson is guilty of anything; however, I've been seeing things like:

innocent until proven guilty.
was he proven guilty? NO, therefore, that makes him innocent.

How naive! The world does not work that way, my dear.

Fact: Many criminals get away with their crimes because of a number of factors, such as:

* Innocence in the eyes of the law can be bought and/or extorted. Judges and lawyers are human, too, and are subject to the temptations and desires of all men / women. No exceptions.

* The prosecution was less powerful than the defense. The defense was smarter and more influential than the prosecution.

* Technicalities in the eyes of the law. A missed word, an overlooked detail can turn the tables for both prosecution and defense.

So what of Michael Jackson? Is he guilty or not? In the eyes of the law, he is innocent. Perhaps he really is. But only he and the child would ever know what really happened.
