 Posted: 08/16/04 - 16:31 Post subject: Why would one show up at Jacko's court appearance?
Do the folks in California have that much free time on their hands?
| Quote: | Superstar Michael Jackson, flanked by his famous siblings, rolled into court in showman style to watch the prosecutor pursuing him on child sex charges be grilled by lawyers.
The "King of Pop" arrived in a customised gold and black tour bus that pulled up outside court shortly before a pre-trial hearing in his child molestation case to the screams of around 300 waiting fans.
After keeping the crowd waiting for 10 minutes, Jackson, wearing a white suit and dark glasses, emerged to take shelter under a black umbrella held by one of the swarm of bodyguards surrounding him.

Arch-nemesis? I love the reporters choice of words here:
| Quote: | | "If Michael Jackson is Peter Pan, then Thomas Sneddon is Captain Hook," proclaimed one poster, referring to the courtroom face-off between Jackson and his arch-nemesis, Santa Barbara prosecutor Sneddon. |

You'd watch for the same reason you'd watch Springer: to show yourself that no matter how low you've gone, you're not that warped.

I think there are fans who just can't or won't believe that their idols are not only human, but quite fallible and possibly criminal. I heard more than one person say they thought OJ was involved in Nicole Brown's murder, but that he didn't do it.

maybe to get on camera too, because people are watching on TV too.
He is making a mockery of the judicial system.
