Sorry--didn't mean to use the word "innocent..." You're right, Seraph, in your explanation/clarification of the terms. I wasn't in the most semantic mood when I wrote it--lol. But I am sure you knew what I meant when I said "although he was found innocent"; I just meant the equivalent of "not guilty," synonymously speaking. In "lamen" speaking terms, not guilty is interchangeable with the word innocent (like if you were to teach a child what the word "innocent" means, you'd say, "It means "not guilty of something."); but in legal terms, you're right--it's different...
But I fully acknowledge the difference now--my mistake.

Cerek, thanks for your response. I felt weird writing my two cents on it, but also felt compelled. I was shortly discussing it with my buddy and I told him something I forgot to add in the last post: It is very hard to be molested and prove it; it is very frustrating to someone who is victim of it. You almost wish you were outright maliciously and aggressively attacked, so that there would be bruises, blood, scratches, semen, etc. It's tough when someone is tender and passive with their actions, because there is no evidence! It's word against word. Luckily, in my case, the person fully admitted to it.

Anyway, like Morgeruat said, about turning off the TV, etc., that's what I ended up doing. I'd rather be playing D&D! In fact, I think this concludes my tiny spell of thoughts on MJ. It was nice to just vent for a short period of time today, and now onward to run back into the dungeon and kick some butt!!
