Legal Answer When the verdict form was drafted, Jackson was still an "alleged" victim, because Dr. Murray was then presumed innocent. Obviously, that's no longer true.

Response without sense :!: :?
Thank you, Paula. That answer doesn't make a lot of sense, does it? Because if that were the case every verdict would read the same. Either that or somehow they remove the "alleged" when reading it out loud?
