[Timekeeper]

It's official, "Tigger," um, Michael, was found NOT GUILTY.

Jury deliberation only lasted a couple of minutes!

And no, the jurors didn't all try on the Tigger costume, which was something the defense wanted them to do.

Thanks for the result.

It was great news to hear that a few minutes ago. Now lets hope that Disney does the right thing as well and gives him his job back.

Here's a link to one of the local TV stations that has the updated news.

Good, I'm glad. Maybe this will stop further law suits with the same allegations.

Thanks for getting this up so fast. I was just on the orlando sentinel's and on the Orlando NBC affiliate's websites at 6:15 p.m. EST with no mention of the outcome.

I suppose this now officially becomes chapter 2 to the urban legend of the 3 little molesters?

Tigger, you can come home now!

Timekeeper Faster than NBC Affiliates' Websites?

That's because I am Timekeeper, and NBC's websites ain't got nothin' on me. :lol: I can travel through time, remember? I just jumped into the future a little bit and found out the verdict.

As I expected, and as the parents expected, Now they can finally can make it a civil case... for the money, IMO that's what they were after in the first place...

Let's wait and see what follows...

Thanks for letting us all know so quickly. It's amazing that the jury didn't take alittle longer to deliberate. Go Tigger!

But will you be time jumping in September when I am in town?

 

[MKCP 1985]

I liked the trial testimony of the civil trial lawyer, called by the defense (paraphrased):

Q: Did the family come to see you about a civil lawsuit?

A: Yes, but I turned it down because it didn't look like there was much money in it.

!!!!!

Updated Pictures

As I mentioned in my "costume" thread, I have added some new pictures from today's proceedings to my photo album. This time Defense attorney Kaufman put on the entire suit and addressed the jury. If you want to see the news media images, click on the link below.

I heard the Defense said, "Bouncin's what Tiggers do best...not gropin' "

 

[Nicole]

Well the good news is this family claims they'll never come to Disney again. How appalling that someone would try to do this, and taint the Magic for all the rest of us.

I looked at the evidence photos on one of the links. How on earth do they expect a character to put his arm around a guest's waist without his huge hand possibly escaping the waist area?? All this time I thought the "photo evidence" showed Tigger touching someone's breast - not her underarm. Geez Louise.

Thank goodness this case was only about a guy in a Tigger-like suit and not the REAL Tigger!

 

[General Grizz]

LMAO the shots of a (fully-dressed) Tigger (helper) in court are HILARIOUS!

 

[tigsmom]

:sohappy: I knew my baby was innocent.

 

[mandib]

I'm so glad the jury was smart enough to figure out this was just a ploy to get money. Long live Tigger!

 

[TinkerBell9988]

Thanks for letting us know the good news. :sohappy:

:animwink: Tigger's a wonderful Tigger...

*cough* Looks like I was right all along *cough*

It disgusts me though that in the videos at http://www.local6.com/news/3616080/detail.html they have no problem displaying the face of the 'accused', yet continue to refrain from showing the face of the 'victim' or her mother. Disgusting.
