Hey! Don’t you guys know he’s “1000% innocent”?

Someone should explain to Germaine what the word “percent” means.  
:rolleyes:

I saw some comedian during the first accusations says something like “Hey, Michael Jackson has made millions of kids happy, maybe it’s time some kids make Michael Jackson happy!”

That must be the guy I heard about…spent pretty much his entire life savings to fly to California and now he’s stuck there.

Well, technically, he can’t be found “innocent”, only “Not Guilty”, meaning they couldn’t prove his guilt.

Either way, I think he’s done for. He’s a sad, pathetic spectacle of the talented young man he once was.

Then he’s an _innocent_ man who sleeps in the same bed as preadolescent boys.
