With my hoax hat on I have to say I'm disappointed if they're NOT going to be allowed to discuss MJ's molestation accusations and alleged drug use/abuse. These are still huge elephants in the room whenever MJ's name is mentioned and they need to be aired and cleared up once and for all. It seems like the subjects are being brought up only to be then swept under the carpet again.
However, without my hoax hat on, the judge's decisions seem fair and just - MJ's past should bear no relevance to what Murray stands accused of. Ironically, if he gets a 'fair' trial, with the 'facts' as presented, then I can see him going down.
It still would not surprise me if the trial never happens, for lots of reasons that I have stashed away in my brain, but if it does, it sure is going to be interesting!
