Nichols and Jackson

My guess is that Brian Nichols will fare better than Michael Jackson should both of them get convicted. Brian admitted to his misdeeds (at least that is what Ashley Smith reports) and is more likely to seek grace and forgiveness. He knows that he has done a bad thing. Michael Jackson does not know that he has done a bad thing. Denials persist. He will die a "victim" unless he confesses like Nichols did. Michael has no future without confessions.
