ceebeegeeFrom Andrea Peyser's column in the Post:
"Speaking for myself and a few other" parents on the jury, she said, "what mother in her right mind would allow that to happen?
"To freely volunteer your child to sleep with someone?"
...I asked, incredulous -- You're saying you had more of a problem with the victim's mother for letting her child spend the night with Michael Jackson than you had with Michael Jackson actually sleeping with a child? To borrow the juror's own words -- What kind of mother excuses a grown man for sleeping with a small child?
"I'd like to comment on that," she said coyly. "But later on."
When, lady? When you sign your book deal?
...The juror had much to say say about bad behavior at Neverland...but none of her venom was aimed at Michael.
In fact, none of the jurors had much of anything to say about Michael at all.
"She came on very strong," the 45-year old juror complained about the accuser's mother.
Another woman, whom we dubbed "Aunt Bea" because of her gray bouffant, railed, "I disliked intensely when she snapped her fingers."
Then she spoke directly to the hated mother, "Don't snap your fingers at me, lady!" she said, to guffaws.
It went on like that. A Hispanic, male juror made fun of the mother, also Hispanic, for testifying, "This is how we do it in our culture."
"No, it's not!" the juror said, to more laughter.
They bonded on their hatred of the accuser's mother. With such a mother, they seemed to say, how could the boy actually be a victim?
I can't believe these stupid, stupid, petty, vicious, tittering morons are allowed to vote, much less serve on juries. Man, if ever anything made the case for vigilante justice, this is it--that boy got screwed twice, once by MJ, once by the legal system. I think I may actually see the merit in carrying a concealed weapon, and we all know what a proponent of gun control I am. God knows the jury system isn't going to protect you.
I feel sick.
