I'm not sure comparing MJ to AH is a particularly fair comparison.
Your belief that he has got away with child molestation is surely not based on facts, but rather on a highly twisted view courtesy of a money and ratings grabbing media.
He had to be found guilty based on the evidence before him. Evidence that was largely heresay, and largely from uncredible sources. He was always going to be found not guilty by any jury given that.
Did he do it ? maybe, maybe not. Who knows ? What we can say, is that if he did, then the failure here is the prosecution. They failed to provide satisfactory evidence and the jury didn't buy their arguments.
What you should be hating is you judicial system and your media. Would you have heard about this case if MJ wasn't the world famous celebrity he is ? I doubt it. Do you know anything more about this case than you might about any other in terms of real cold hard facts ? nope.
Celebrity does not initself get somebody off a charge. In the UK we've convicted people like media music mogal Jonathan King and Gary Glitter, both in peadophile cases to name just 2. There have been others. I'm sure the same situation has occured over there.
You should not hate MJ. Pity would be a better word.
