I think there is a lot about the 2005 trial that has yet to come out. If we dissected those days as much as this hoax, we'd be shocked and amazed. Standing back and looking at the trial; it was a huge test of the American justice system. He was found not guilty on all counts. Jermaine must have truly been scared that he would not make it through to freedom. The sad, ironic twist of the whole thing was that after the trial, Michael was not free. The justice system indeed worked for Michael. It's the media that jailed his spirit and the people that turned from him that jailed his heart. He could have fled during the trial, he didn't. He stayed, he fought and he won...in court. In the court of public opinion, however, he lost. The damage to his reputation was done. No matter the verdict, he was convicted in the eyes of millions. It was heartbreaking to see. Anger and sadness filled me in those days. I remember thinking I wish the trial took place outside of the American system. I hated to see him leave the country. I understood why...absolutely. As far as this report of Jermaine having a plane ready and waiting.....how are we to know for sure? I would have done the same for my brother. If nothing but a reassurance to him that I have his back and love him. I think on order to really comment on what was going through their minds during those days, I'd have to walk a mile in their shoes. That's something I don't plan on doing......ever. I don't know how Michael survived (or his family), but I am ever thankful he (they)did. One thing I am sure of; he didn't make it through the trial of 2005 to end up dying of a drug over-dose in 2009. I wish more people could see that. However, yet again the court of public opinion is almighty. Blessings to all........
