MJ cleared of charges, ripped off by US court system

If the BBC and other reporting of the MJ case was even marginally accurate, then clearly the jury delivered the correct verdict. But it's amazing that there should be comments like this one: Michael Jackson cleared of abuse:

"Mr Jackson's former wife Debbie Rowe, who defended the star in court, said she was 'overjoyed that the justice system really works'."

Once again, what passes for 'justice' in the US is rich man wins, poor man loses. If the evidence related in the press was all the prosecution had, why was it brought to court? Because he's rich and famous must be the only possible answer. The defence lawyers, who will be the only ones to hugely profit from this whole farce, really had to do very little to show that the 'evidence' was little more than hearsay and innuendo. The verdict may well have been justice, but it was not, definitely not, any kind of 'justice system' working as it should.
