Pedophiliac phobia, mixed with homophobia

As RTE Online, an Irish new service, reported:
The pop star Michael Jackson is to stand trial in the United States on child abuse charges.
A federal grand jury in California has decided that there is enough evidence to proceed with the prosecution.
The 45-year-old singer is expected to appear in court tomorrow week when he will be able to enter a plea.
Mr Jackson has always denied allegations that he abused a 13-year-old boy.

I don't know how it is in your area, but most people here are assuming the man is guilty before he has even been tried. Because of paedophiliac phobia and homophobia, both rampant in this country,

The reason they used a grand jury is that a grand jury will indict a stone for murder if the DA asks them. To a lawyer, using a grand jury, which is rare in California, indicates a weak case.

I used to like Rocky and Bullwinkle too, but I grew up. Now my #2 son (7.75 years old) is into Doraemon.
