      Was he ever convicted of anything?

        No. On the other hand, you don’t pay $15 to $25 million for no reason.

          Well, one reason might be that he’s had enough of being dragged through the courts?

            Ok. You don’t get dragged through the courts for no reason.

              Of course you do!

              For example: Kevin Spacey was accused of A LOT of heinous shit and in at least one case the charges were so ridiculous that HE got awarded recompense by the court.

              Then you have THIS. Just in 2010s you have 28 cases of people wrongfully convicted (convicted - they went to prison while being innocent)!

                Pretty sure Spacey is also guilty.

                  He was deemed not guilty in every single court case that wasn’t thrown out, and the majority of the cases were thrown out.

                  Considering Bill Cosby and Harvey Weinstein were convicted at roughly the same time, and how both of them had much higher wealth/influence than Spacey, there’s a high chance that Spacey is actually innocent if he went free.

              Yup, no innocent person has ever been to court.

                Big difference here. MJ paid NOT to go to court.

                  No innocent person has ever not wanted to go to court, due to the fear of miscarriage of justice or the perception of people like Knock_knock_Lemmy_in.

                    Also the fear of being found guilty.

                    An innocent person in a civil case wants to clear their name.

                    An out of court settlement cannot be claimed as a not guilty verdict.

        We was not. And he’s been defended by some of the kids too.

      Every time that happens I’m reminded of the saying, “You can’t reason someone out of a position they didn’t reason themselves into”.
