Jackson trusted the cowboy doctor who killed him in circumstances we might never get to the bottom of.

We are more intelligent than that.

People saying "we'll never know"- do you seriously think the man never had any kind of psychiatric assessment?

I don't think he did.

I think he did have asperger's. He was very shy and he wouldn't sing in front of just one or two people, but he always felt the most comfortable on stage. Not everyone with AS is clumsy, I'm not. He found it easier to make friends with people younger than him rather than his own age. He always wanted everything he did to be absolutely perfect. And he always shakes his hands around when he's singing, that could be part of his dance routine, or a form of stimming perhaps? Maybe both? He is dead now, but I'd rather people think of him as having had asperger's than thinking he was just weird.

I wouldn't know exactly what he had. But I do know he was a severely abused child. He really never was allowed to have a life of his own. He was treated a piece of property for the recording industry. And the more he resisted, the more he was abused. Life can be a living hell for someone of that level of fame. I feel bad for the man, he didn't deserve the treatment he got from those around him.

Hello! He was a child molester! No, he was never convicted but come on! Notice he never brought any little tough inner city kids over to stay at Wonderland or anything, and those kids could have benefited from what he could do for kids a lot more than terminal kids!

I do understand the desire to do something for kids. I really do. I have kids. Apparantly he has kids too. But why did he turn his back on the black community like he did? He was such a superstar, and so rich, he could have done so much for inner city kids, both black and white. T.I. is doing a lot for the inner city kids. Why couldn't Jackson do something for the inner city kids? I have an idea why.

Cause you bring an inner city kid into that place and let little helpless Micheal Jackson lay a hand on them and they will go off on him. He would get hurt, thats why. Notice who he abused. They found a life sized boy cout doll in his closet. Come on! What do you think he had it for? Really?

I hate him, and I'm glad he's dead. I'm sorry, but it's true. I did love Thriller though.

Jackson's relationships with children were certainly very strange and unhealthy - and why weren't his handlers putting a stop to it? - but I'm inclined to see him as damaged, rather than as a criminal.

This is interesting - http://dearjordanchandler.com/?p=21

Those who gave Chandler sodium amytal, which has no indications in dentistry whatsoever, could also be thought to be guilty of child abuse. And Chandler's statements under the influence of that drug are absolutely unreliable.
