at least I was you hurt me and I was big

daughter
prosecutors say a short time after

jackson child molestation trial with the
1993 child abuse accusations behind him
the King of Pop was charged with
molesting teen Gavin Arvizo thanks to a
scathing Martin Bashir documentary what
Michael you know you’re a 44 year old
man now what what do you get out of this
those close to the case claimed media
bias sensationalized the trial and did
not inform the public of evidence that
cleared the star though he was found not
guilty on all charges the unwanted press
from this trial irrevocably tarnished
jackson’s reputation number 5 charles
manson natal tate-labianca murders rile
one of the strangest trials in American
history focused on how the leader of a
quasi commune convinced his followers to
commit murder the media circus convened
when his high-profile victims were found
slaughtered in their LA mansion the
public was captivated by the bizarre
helter skelter motive Charlie hasn’t
been able to speak in the courtroom the
defendants haven’t been able to put on a
defense they thrown the Constitution in
the wastebasket where does that leave
your law it’s anarchy total anarchy and
by Manson family attempts to disrupt the
trial but the psychopath and his
followers were locked up for good
number four the impeachment of Bill
Clinton the second ever impeachment of a
u.s. president came as the result of
perjury allegations and repeated sexual
misconduct between Clinton and White
House intern Monica Lewinsky
I did not have sexual relations with
that woman miss Lewinsky political

to apologise to the nation for his
misdeeds number three
Timothy McVeigh the Oklahoma City

perpetrated the deadliest attack on
American soil prior to 9/11 by planting
a truck bomb in the Alfred P murrah

we do justice will be swift certain and
severe the emotional trial riveted the
country and led to a guilty conviction
and McVeigh’s execution in 2001 number
two the Rodney King trial after citizen
filmed footage surfaced of Rodney King’s
brutal beating by a group of LAPD cops
the excessive force trial against those
officers was considered an open-and-shut
case of police brutality and racism the
LA population was so angry when the
primarily white jury acquitted most of

50 people died thousands were arrested
and over a billion dollars in damage
occurred I just want to say you know can
we can we all get along
