The New York Daily News chose an all-star jury made up of 12 lawyers,
politicians, and sex experts and asked them to predict the outcome of
the Michael Jackson case. Most of the people that were contacted said
Michael Jackson is very unlikely to be convicted of child molestation
and many think the prosecution's case was weak.
1. Celebrity lawyer Raoul Felder: "He'll be convicted of something. ...
appearance sometimes speaks louder than anything anybody can say ...
the lipstick, the makeup, all this stuff. You're basically telling
[the jury] you don't care about them, perceptions..."
2. The Rev. Al Sharpton: "I think it will be a hung jury because I think
that there clearly was not enough direct evidence to convict....Whether
he has some strange behavior, yeah, but I think that's about all he's
proved."
3. Former Mayor and "People's Court" Judge Ed Koch: "Well, I believe
he is guilty, I think [the jury] will ultimately decide that the
government failed to produce evidence beyond a reasonable doubt."
4. Defense lawyer Joseph Tacopina: "He should be acquitted in short
order based on the evidence in this case."
5. Jami Floyd, anchor, Court TV: "I think they'll acquit and I think
they'll come back quickly. The prosecution has made a very strong case
with respect to some other boys, but the case with regard to this boy
is very weak - and the case is about this boy."
6. Bruce Cutler, the late John Gotti's lawyer: "I just hope [Michael
Jackson] wins. He's a wonderful person and he's a sweet man. Why they
ever brought this case is beyond me...the case never should have been
brought."
7. Defense lawyer Mickey Sherman, who represented convicted Kennedy
kin Michael Skakel: "Not guilty....We know he is strange, we know he
is weird and quite bizarre. He loves to sleep with young boys - but
that oddly enough doesn't prove that he has molested them."
8. Sexpert Dr. Judy Kuriansky: "I think that he may get acquitted,
but I do think that something did go on, and in my mind it's unfortunate,
because he's probably one of those so-called pedophiles who has
arrested development and probably doesn't really believe he did
anything wrong."
9. Abner Louima lawyer Sanford Rubenstein: "My prediction is a hung
jury. The question is whether he was proven guilty beyond a reasonable
doubt - and that's a hard decision for a jury to come to."
10. Leslie Gold, "The Radio Chick," Sirius Radio Network: "I think
he'll get off. I personally think he's guilty, but Macaulay Culkin
testified that Michael Jackson didn't touch him, and he was a cute kid."
11. The Rev. Jesse Jackson: "He'll be acquitted. All of the witnesses
seemed to melt under cross-examination about money as a motivation."
12. Sexpert Dr. Joyce Brothers: "He will be judged innocent. I think
they have not proved anything - other than the possibility that the
boy's family might have had ulterior motives in bringing this to trial."
