Re: Ten counts. You would think they could have found enough evidence to convict him on one of those counts.

LOL... The last thing the US establishment/elite wants right now is another "Rodney King" flare-up --remember the LA 92 riots? Here's a reminder:

aaregistry.com

The indictment of Pop King Michael Jackson would have been spun as a racial affair by a faction of the media --and rightly so, at some point.

Indeed, somehow, the issue is not about whether Michael is a hopeless pedophile or not but whether he is the ONLY pedophilic celebrity in the US. We might reasonably assume that, were Michael Jackson a white celebrity or the scion of a powerful white dynasty from Texas, Louisiana, or California, he'd have been whitewashed no sweat! Just recall the Chandra Levy (unsolved) affair....

Well, I guess that's how justice works in America: black celebrities can cross the line and get away with it (OJ Simpson, Michael Jackson,...) only because white celebrities can do likewise in the first place.
