UPDATE: Yes, we all know Michael is free, and most of us knew all along that it was unlikely he was even capable of child molestation, but I have to admit that my conviction in Michael's innocence was not 100% absolute. The trials portrayal by the media is a master class in public manipulation, and fundamentally shaped the way Michael was perceived. It sold a hell of a lot of newspapers, but could it have almost destroyed a man for whom fan worship is all he seems to have left?

For a truly superb analysis of Michael's mental character please check out this article over at Slate magazine. It succinctly sums up what the most compassionate Jackson fan would not care to admit i.e. Michael is a Peter Pan whose fantasy world has finally fallen apart around him. Good luck in the future Michael. You'll always be one of the true musical Genii...

Here's to a fully cleared Michael Jackson, long live the King of Pop! Oh, yeah and here's a tip for you: Stop inviting under-age boys with dodgy, money grabbing parents to share a bed with you! OK?
