THE Oxford Mail reports (September 26) that 11 members of the Justice For Michael Jackson UK organisation waved banners and played his hit songs in Bonn Square, Oxford, England, last Saturday, in a bid to prevent the “pop icon” from being “slandered” ahead of the trial of his former personal doctor, Conrad Murray, who is charged with “involuntary manslaughter” – as opposed, presumably, to the voluntary variety – arising out of the singer’s death in 2009.

Yes, that should do the trick.

The very foundations of the American legal system – and indeed the superpower’s whole constitution – must be quaking with trepidation as a result of this protest.
