Look at the O J Simpson case, even Judge Ito was visibly impressed by the "Dream Team" and often chided the prosecution. Yes, a high profile person with a high profile defense team (I do believe) slants the scales of justice. With a court appointed lawyer I would bet the ranch Michael Jackson would be bunking with "BuBBa" tonight.

I think he got off because the accuser’s creditability, not Jackson's innocents. Even one of the jurors said on national television he thought Jackson had molested boys. But, that is not what THIS trial was about. Money may not guarantee an acquittal it sure doesn't hamper it. Money saved Jackson from seeing the inside of a courtroom before (beating it even before it went to trial). Just my opinion and I know you and I see things different. I am for the victim, and you are usually for American Criminal Libertys if I recall correctly.
