Michael Jackson was declared Not Guilty by a jury of his peers earlier today. This isn't news to anyone who was conscious this afternoon.
Hugh Hewitt's comment was that Martha Stewart must be angry to be just about the only famous person to be convicted in a long time.
Actually, Martha Stewart's conviction is proof that she is merely famous, and not a true celebrity. Michael Jackson is a celebrity. OJ is a celebrity. Even Robert Blake is a celebrity. But Martha isn't.
The truth can be found in "The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle" in the courtroom scene. Whoopi Goldberg, as Judge Cameo, has this factual tidbit:
And you, Mr. District Attorney, I'd like to point something out to you in the penal code. Section C, Paragraph 22. "Celebrities are above the law." This case is dismissed.
Therein lies the explanation for the Michael Jackson verdict. 'Nuff said.
