I want to know whether it's true about all the drugs they found after his death.

It's exactly this kind of morbid fascination that sustained the media frenzy around him :roll:

A brilliant talent cut short,and if he had done what they say he did what mother would settle for any amount of money if their child had been hurt in that way,as a Mum myself no amount of money would of stopped me going all the way through the courts,i don't think he did it,he just paid them to leave him alone.I feel for his kids and family he wasn't just a star,shan x

The difference is with the legal setup in the good ole' USofA.
Would you be willing to let your child on a stand to be subjected to all kinds of questioning?
To have the private lives of your child and all of his family regarded as public by both the courts and press?
You would have MJ fans bombarding you with hatred.
And risk an OJ style let off?

As a parent I totally agree with you, you would want the person that hurt your child to pay, but you would also have to ask yourself if you would also put your child through the trauma of the court.

Musically I didn't like him, insipid, repetitive and generic.
