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.

    That's pig logic.

    Innocent people get found guilty all the time, and even if you're not, a long trial is expensive and never going to convince haters he's innocent.

    Rich guilty people pay off their accusers all the time.

    A long trial is expensive, but it's certainly less than the $50m (in today's money) that MJ paid out.

    We don't know what he was guilty of, but he sure ain't innocent.
