roadkill

In hindsight…

How it was all reported in the media, commented on… was pretty fucking gross. Especially since the kid who made the allegations admitted to lying.

Nothing was held back on for the court of public opinion. Police statements amounted to “We found creepy dolls that only can be used for grooming…” “He had [this] because [he’s definitely that]…” Later on the same police were caught giving adult magazines from the raid to one of the kids they claimed Michael molested… several months AFTER the raid… and then bagged the magazine for fingerprints. The way everything was handled, even if generously… we could admit that Michael was a bit of a kooky freak… the way the raid, reporting on evidence gathering (and apparent manufacturing of it) and prosecution was handled, that part of it seemed straight up corrupt.

There was always a tinge of ick about it all.

At best, Michael was a deeply damaged person who did whatever he could to cope with the loss of his childhood and… we’ll never know what truly happened at the Ranch.

“evidence found at neverland ranch” turns up a lot of results, admittedly, with far too much commentary and speculation describing “must have been used for…” rather than what may actually have been the case.
