Not saying what he did or didn't, just that a lot of times people can make one thing out of another and then it can kind've avalanche, and yeah, I think that if a person had as many finances available to them as MJ probably did at a point, paying people that are going to drag you through the mud and into court time and again might've been something of an easier option...guilty, or not.

For me, MJ was the "music I grew up with" being born in the early 80's.
Didn't much like his post mid-90's stuff, and yeah even if you don't look at the court cases and allegations against him he did become one weird character, and was the posterboy for "parental abuse case" more than likely what made him slowly turn into the creature he became.
Listening to his songs of old, I will feel a pang of remorse that the musical force beside them is no longer of this earth.

Amen, brother.

Sorry about your rat. :(
