They should have a system where when you accuse someone of a crime, ONE of you will wind up in prison definately. Its not appropriate for michael to be innocent and this kid's mother to be innocent. If my man MJ was innocent in the eyes of the law, then this woman lied, in the eyes of the law, and she ought to be punished. The DA should be fired for clearly have such a poorly constructed and weakly supported case, considering there were TEN charges and none of htem stuck.
Like when Kobe was accused, it was pretty clear to me the situation was simply a girl got used by a guy, and with a little egging on she thought "hey, i've been raped". of course, after some duckets, she dropped it. The law does not forgive criminals for misunderstandings, so they should not forgive accusers either.
You know what's worse that molesting a little boy? Using someone to pay for your medical and family stuff for two years and then accusing them of molesting you, in order to reap millions. Sure, an innocent man spends 2 decades in the slammer, but who cares because he's a freak, right?
This would cut back on all kinds of false accusations. In a civil suit, this could be limited to repayment of legal fees. It disappoints me to see that some people can accuse others, such as doctors, of anything without real proof. Its simple...if you are accused of something, you could pay a fee to put it away, or you could go through the stress of a live changing trial...the choice is simple if you've got money. Thats why patients can sue doctors...its easier to give someone 15k to drop the accusations than it is to go through a trial, which would easily rack up more in legal fees and could result in losing a career.
MJ is a complete freak, but i read up about the investigation on him and it is clear to me that it was a witchhunt perpetuated by the overzealous DA and grifter family.
The significance of this case is that it reveals how little evidence it takes for someone to accuse you of something significant. Many of you on this board will be sued one day by patients whom you served to the best of your ability. Accusers should have to suffer consequences for unjust accusations, and it shouldn't just be from counter suing.
