It's like everyone in the news media just glosses over the likelihood that he was a child molester of some sort, not to mention just an extremely miserable human being who had to

I didn't follow any of his trials closely enough to form any sort of opinion as to whether or not he was a child molester. What I do know? Those anti-human-rights asshats over in Iran have probably been THOROUGHLY enjoying the media eclipse MJ's death has so conveniently provided them.

I try to give folks the benefit of the doubt, too, but I remember seeing the jurors of his trial on 20/20 and they actually said that although they couldn't prove beyond a "reasonable doubt" that he molested that kid, that they do believe he molested other kids at his Neverland ranch. There's been numerous stories about him AT LEAST looking at porno mags with 10 year olds and masterbating. He would also sleep in bed with those kids, which is completely inappropriate for an unrelated adult to do.
