MJ dead

A person's private life is just that: private. What people do behind closed doors, despite how creepy it may be, is something that they don't have to answer for. Besides, he's no longer around to account for anything. Just let him rest in peace; he's earned his freedom from the media.

I'm still not convinced of any wrongdoing on his part. Just because you decide to settle a case before lawyers get you bankrupt, doesn't mean you're wrong. Lawyers are like doctors, they can generate the nastiest looking bills!

A few years ago I hit a parked car (gently, mind you, there was no damage to either car, except a couple of *minor* scratches on MY car's bumper's not even the other guy's!!!) Anyway, the owner of the other car was next to his car. We exchanged insurance papers so he could go have his car detailed on me or whatever. Later on, my insurance calls me and tells me that he claimed personal injury! apparently, he said that he was in the car and got throw out or some other ridiculous BS. My insurance had to settle the case to make it go away. It turned out that guy was a professional plaintiff, already sued 2 or 3 people with other BS claims. I didn't want to settle but the insurance explained that settling now would cost $3K whereas going all the way to try to prove my point would have cost upwards of $35K and it was still pretty much his word against mine. The pictures of the cars showing no damage unfortunately were not enough to disprove the guy's lies. The insurance guy told me it happens all the time, people just try to get "free money" from the insurance company.

That's why I'm saying, settling a case is no admission of being wrong, it just means you don't want to run a $$$ tab in legal fees.

In MJ's case, we'll probably will never know what really happened. Was he weird, hell YEAH, I mean LOOK at him! But I tend to believe that, because the guy was so WEIRD, but also so rich, he was kind of a target.

Maybe we'll never know.
