Go read the court documents from the last trial. I can only comment on the last trial since it the only one Ive read, but that trial was a big steaming pile of bullshit wrapped around a huge cow turd.

That's a shame. He was really talented and I liked his earlier work. At least we got the benefit of his talent before he went crazy.

Say what you will about the controversy, the man was still a huge figurehead in pop music. Extremely talented. I personally never believed he molested the children in the cases that were brought to attention. Did he ever molest children? Could of, but that wouldn't be relevant since we have no knowledge of this.

It's people's own presumptions and attitudes that are overpowering the facts. I will give him my respect as an artist.

Meh.

He has some great music I enjoyed, but Michel Jackson has been dead for like 10 years or whatever.

Quincy Jones is still alive, so we don't need to mourn the creator of Michael Jackson's solo work just yet.

ONLY trial...

He paid off the one that is alleged, yes I'll say alleged so there is the room for doubt just like everyone knows OJ didn't do it, to have had him pretty much cold. The evidence allegedly was as thorough as to identifying marks on his anatomy!

But anyway, he is brown bread now, this controversy will go on for a while and then probably die down. Benoit has started being mentioned at least in passing in wrestling circles on rare occasions and he murdered his family!

He settled the first case for 22 million, which is either A: Admitting guilt, or B and just as likely, if not more likely , a way of getting rid of all the media attention surrounding it because even if it wasn't true, he was fucked up enough for people to believe it and it need to be forgotten for him to manage a career . The kid in the first case was likely as used by his parents as Michael's dad used him . This "Kid" is nearly 30 now and all this shit is going to come back to him now, since people will want to know the real truth now which is going to be a whole other story.

Same goes for the rest of the allegations, if it's all true it's all true. At the same time this all happened by the time his career was on a spiral down. At the height of his career we never would have heard about this shit it would have been immediately settled for extreme amounts of money due to his value to the recording industry of which he was basically single handedly responsible for re-vitalizing. This is the guy that introduced MTV viewers to black artists.

His impact on the music industry was incredible and as an Entertainer he was second to none when it came to PoP music. That said his impact musically and how his songs will stand the test of time are dwarfed by his other accomplishments or the lack there of which has basically become the story of every modern PoP artist's career save Madonna.
