Don't talk about all lawyers like they're scumbags. Not all are, there are some who will take any case & get dirty during trial but not all of them are like that. I know because I have 3 in my family, who are NOT like that at all & my two next door neighbors on either side are lawyers who are also NOT like that. Despite the scheming ways of some, there are actually some who actually care about the people they are working for & take cases they know deserve to be fought & won. MJ used lawyers, yes he was hurt by lies that came up about him, but that didn't come only from the opposing legal team. & everyone just may need a lawyer someday, so maybe people shouldn't be so quick to talk badly about them as a whole. I'd say Tom or whatever his name is who was MJ's lawyer did a pretty good job for him & truly knew he was innocent. He's a lawyer, so does that make him bad too? & MJ saying what he said on TII about they who? He was making a point, you can't wait around hoping that lawyers, the gov or the media will help solve the problem. It starts with the people, all of us, we try to get things done on our own, that's the most effective way to do something. He wasn't saying they are horrible people, don't trust them ever, he was just saying don't wait around for them to fix it. Do something yourself.
