Michael Jackson vs. Casey Anthony

The battle between two "alleged" criminals, both of which were tried of atrocities that most of us will never begin to comprehend. Since Michael is no longer with us, there seems to be an easement of the allegations which once defined the pop star - and still linger as to what he was all about behind the walls of his home made Disneyland.

Casey Anthony on the other hand is still very much alive, yet hated beyond belief. Is it because she didn't write songs like Beat It - which in my mind is indicative of what MJ did with a lot of his time? Is it because she "allegedly" killed her own kid and chose to not molest others along the way?

MJ was talented beyond belief - but the King of Pop? Really?

I think settling a lawsuit for pedophilia for a tidy sum of 20 million bucks buys a lot of forgiveness. And what did dude learn from writing that payoff, er, settlement check? My answer would be he learned dick, both literally and figuratively.

I'm guessing the agreement / gag order (no pun intended) went something like this:

While Michael Jackson engages in some questionable shit, has a fascination with young kids, and maintains his own zoo to attract potential victims not to mention likes tucking them into his own bed, we believe that 20 million dollars will convince you (the plaintiff) that nothing occurred that cannot be paid for. MJ admits to nothing and has psychologically reverted back to a 9 year old. Hence, he only wishes to cuddle now.

With Casey Anthony, no such luck. Did she get away with killing her kid? Probably. But, the court system said she was NOT guilty and no settlement was ever negotiated. If Casey did it, then she and OJ will go down as the largest joke on the American justice system ever. Besides, how do you pay yourself a settlement for something you claim not to have done?

If she didn't it shows the justice system works. It's all perspective and depends on what side of the fence you choose to put your lawn chair.

Personally, I like to believe the universe always gets even. If it doesn't, it should. In MJ's case it did. He got off (no pun intended) in his latest trial, and if it had been a one time accusation there may be room for some doubt. But this cat was straight habitual, and Liz Taylor and the Caulkin brothers combined couldn't convince me, or anyone else for that matter, otherwise.

So it comes down to who deserves our sympathy, empathy and or forgiveness. Mikey is toast so it is only his legacy which would receive such exoneration. I think that dude bought his way out of some pedophilia charges and got lucky the second time around. I mean come on - who the fuck writes a check for 20 million for doing nothing?????

Casey Anthony needs to be left alone. Not because she is innocent, because she was found not guilty. She will go on to make a shitload of cash and sell books, movies and may even start a self help group in Vegas. Either way, if she is as stupid as has been alleged she will end up in jail in Nevada for beating some memorabilia dude stupid for not paying her enough for her trading cards, or her autograph - or whatever.
