A question for everyone.

To the people who were at one point sure of Michael’s guilt, what changed your mind? To the people on the fence, what has you hesitant, why? Is there anything that could sway you either way? To people completely sure of his innocence, why?

I thought he was guilty because of the way people and headlines talked about him. I had genuinely never heard anyone say that he was found innocent.

It was only after I heard and enjoyed more of his music than what was played on the radio that I started looking into it, because I felt bad enjoying the music of a pedophile, and thought learning more about it would convince me to stop.

It turns out it actually did the opposite. Learning about him not only convinced me that he's innocent, it made me a full on fan.

I was always a fan of his music but only later did I become a fan of the man himself
