I see your point. Except that even a brute like Smeghead wouldn't accuse Michael Jackson of murder. Also, Phil Spector was convicted and Michael was found not guilty.
But I do see your point.

Actually, I think we should celebrate the person as well as the artist. To me his main problem was the awful plastic surgery during this decade and the physical weakness that resulted from the unfair trial. Michael had emotional problems but he was not a child molester and he was actually a very kind person, like when he invited all the disadvantaged and mentally retarded kids to play on all the rides at Neverland. He was making them happy. He was not trying to molest them.
