Wanna be startin' something
Some filmmakers won't let legends rest in peace -- and that's not necessarily a bad thing. "The Trials of Michael Jackson" (7 p.m., Documentary Channel), directed by Barry Shaw and Dana Gedrick, looks at how Jackson's 2005 child-molestation trial was influenced by media bias and fan enthusiasm.

<!-- s:shock: -->:shock:<!-- s:shock: --> am i in the twilight zone?
conrad murray (michael's "doctor") = a television show about injustice in a courtroom
barry shaw (michael's "double") = director of a documentary about michael's trials
......so this is one big show
Looks like we are all in the twilight zone! Barry Shaw directing a documentary about MJ's trials. Personally, I think that is something the world would like to forget. Why drudge up the past? That second trial nearly destroyed Michael. I personally won't watch it. We already dissected those trials last year and knew they were trumped up allegations on Michael to destroy him. Is Barry Shaw that desperate for money in these lean times? Keep the Faith!
There is no 'second' trial, there has only been one. Yes, the world like to forget this trial, and the world still thinks Mike is guilty of what he was accused of. It was a TRIAL BY MEDIA that convicted him, not the legal system.
The world needs to know that Mike was acquitted, the world needs to know that he was framed. The world needs to know that the DA used fabricated evidence. The world needs to know that those accusations were fabricated to destroy him. The world needs to know that the media is responsible for the opinion most people still have about this trial.
So YES, let them dig, and let them broadcast documentaries about what REALLY happened, until the world finally realizes, accepts and spreads the TRUTH about this horrific attempt to finish Mike off and the role the media took in it!
I CANT BELIEVE IT!!!
