I am not defending Michael Jackson
He is undoubtedly guilty of crass and criminal stupidity, at the very least. BUT... why was his bail $3M and Phil Spector's only $1M? Also, why was he handcuffed when he turned himself in? And is Phil Spector still free? Can one be charged with murder and not be arrested?
Most importantly, why does our society tolerate acts that are reprehensible - and sometimes CRIMINAL - when they are committed by CELEBRITIES? What does it say about us as a people? That we're starstruck, hypocritical saps? Inquiring minds want to know.
