  • about the article...he looked so handsome at home because he wasn't all made up with makeup like he wears to go out. This is why I love these photos so much...it is MJ around the same time period without any of his makeup.

    I've been looking at mugshots of people. I didn't look at every one but I did see quite a few. Please don't hate me for putting these names together with Michael - it's only a comparison of photo layouts. I am not labeling him with the others.

    The one person who's picture layout is the closest to Michael is Marilyn Manson but in Marilyn's it has his middle name where in Michael's it doesn't. Many photos had the front and side view. I didn't see anyone except for Michael with the hair covering part of their face. The biggest thing that stood out to me is that in every picture I looked at, with the exception of Michael, the person had a strong resemblance to their normal self (minus the red eyes and messy hair LOL). I'm not saying there was a double here for Michael because I don't know. I'm just pointing out a few differences in photo layouts. Thanks.
  • Have you ever considered that the awful mugshot was DELIBERATE??

    They used the worst and most harsh lighting in the room and captured MJ in a bad pose, full on with a startled expression.. in order for Mike to look as "wierd" and "abnormal" as possible??

    The LAPD did it on purpose.. they wanted him to look like this so the public could look at the pic and say "yeah, he looks really wierd. He must be a paedo"

    Get it?? Its called PR.

    DancingTheDream, I absolutely agree with you. The police department did do this on purpose in order to make him look as "weird" as possible. I'm sure many of us here have seen the video where MJ talks about how he was treated by those people, and what he says he was subjected to is absolutely despicable. And what I also think is despicable is analyzing this particular picture of him at an almost microscopic level. This was one of the hardest things MJ had to go through, and I really think it's disrespectful to be doing this. But of course, thats just my opinion.

    On another note... as someone previously stated, when someone is booked in a county jail, fingerprints are taken.

    I'm getting a bit tired of repeating myself, but here we go again:

    This website is called Michael Jackson Death Hoax Investigators. It was set up as one in which people were invited to forensically examine the obviously strange and discordant events of June 25th and beyond. Although every moment of Mike's life is scrutinized, it is done with respect.

    But how did they do it then? By shooting numbers of pictures, and pick the most weird one? Or maybe they photoshopped it?

    i know when shia labeouf was arrested in chicago, the police officer took multiple photos of him to get a good shot, since he knew it'd be released to the public. however, we already know the prejudice the police had with michael, it's very possible they did it deliberately. probably a plan from the get-go to send out the most negative image of michael possible (this is including sneddons idiotic and unprofessional news conference he held). too bad it didn't work. ha.

    When I compare these 2 pictures, I see one guy: MJ

  • Mike also had several nose jobs between these two periods, changing the distance from his nose to his mouth.

    The distance between the eyes and the upper lip stays basically the same, no matter how many nose jobs one has had. In order to change that distance you have to alter the skull as I described in my previous reply.

    What i am saying is that it would be more useful to compare a photo of Michael from this era to the mugshot.. rather than a photo of him when he was in his teens.

    I dont have the tech that you do to do this so cant do it myself. <!-- s:D -->:D<!-- s:D --> <!-- s:D -->:D<!-- s:D -->

    I'm just repeating myself here again:

    Aging does not change the distance between the eyes and the upper lip.

    In order to find a photo of the same person from the "mug shot era" it first has to match with one from the 1977 shoot, so it won't make any difference.

    When this mugshot was released, I don't remember anyone in the media saying it wasn't MJ or that it didn't look like MJ. The eyes belong to MJ. Eyes are more unique than fingerprints. Now if this person had their eyes obscured in this photo one could not be as sure it was the real MJ but the eyes identify that this is MJ.

    Exactly, if people had doubts about that picture, we sure would have heard from them.
  • Look at these pics. I cant do the comparisons as dont have the software.. but all look the same as the mugshot to me.. <!-- s:? -->:?<!-- s:? -->

    And the first pic could explain why the changes....... surgery, botox, fillers, etc

    There was rumour he had surgery to shorten his top lip area prior to the O2 announcement.

    it was also rumoured that Michael was going through Facial ReConstruction to un-do the ''plastic surgeries'' he had while doing This Is It

    About the first picture, I think the bodyguards explained that it was a disguise for Michael. "The burn victim disguise". I know some are doubting how true that interview was but I find that believeable. Botox, for example, doesn't leave big marks so there wouldn't be necessary to cover it up...
  • I was browsing other mugshots - very hard to tell, which are legit and which aren't.
    Do we know for sure he wore a white shirt under his black jacket that day?

    Sorry, off topic.
    Oh, I love this man... Even on a mug shot most stylish and classy.

    Aaooww! *drools* Is that actually a real mugshot? If it is it should win a price for the most gorgeous mugshot of all time or something! <!-- s:D -->:D<!-- s:D --> What was he arrested for?

    I personally laugh a lot whenever I see some mugshots cuz they really aren't flattering, lol! In my pass card (for uni.) I look like a 40 year old crack addict, lol! <!-- s:lol: -->:lol:<!-- s:lol: --> <!-- s:lol: -->:lol:<!-- s:lol: --> I only show it to people if I want to make them laugh but most people just look shocked hahah!

    Yeah it does.. the skin droops.

    Plus Mike has had plastic surgery.. had surgery to his jaw when he had the cleft put in. Also may have had surgery/ botox / fillers in his lips / cheeks / etc... these all change the shape of face.

    Mike also had several nose jobs between these two periods, changing the distance from his nose to his mouth.

    Nose jobs and Chin cleft.

    In the two pics you have posted in the first one he has his mouth open showing his teeth.. in the second his mouth is closed, so cant see where the teeth are aligned to.


    It's a fact that your face drops when you get older, this "effect" is increased by the weight lost... and he was very thin in that pic.

    Try to pass your own test: if you are 45+, go and take a very close-up pics of your face. Don't use makeup. Use a place with bad lighting and the worst camera you can find. If you had lost a lot of weight, then better (for my test!). Now, compare it with a pic of your 17's... What did you find?... Why do you think that "Facial Lifting" is one of the more practiced surgeries (esthetical)?

    I agree!! These are great pictures!!!..but ..something lookes odd to my eyes...what about his nose? I enlarged the picture and this is the result... maybe no make up,and no prosthatic nose? I don't want to sound unrespectful...I love him anyway....
