Casey Anthony and Michael Jackson

Casey Anthony and Michael Jackson

Lately I’ve written several blogs on the Casey Anthony trial. This started me thinking about Michael Jackson and his not guilty verdict. There are some similarities here. Both Michael Jackson and Casey Anthony were declared guilty by the media and the public before their trials in court. In fact, in both cases, the public and the media thought that getting a guilty verdict would be a slam dunk. Both Casey and Michael left court declared not guilty of any major crimes. A strong legal defense team played a huge role in the outcome of both trials. Both Michael Jackson and Casey Anthony were charged with egregious crimes against children. Circumstantial evidence and common sense appeared to indicate that both parties were guilty of their alleged crimes.
