HOBART | Authorities believe 2-year-old Jada Justice likely had been killed and encased in concrete in shallow water for three days in LaPorte County by the time she was falsely reported missing.
Investigators believe they discovered the remains of the missing Portage toddler Thursday near rural Otis, Ind. The remains have not been positively identified as those of Jada, but an autopsy is scheduled for today in Lake County.
“We feel very comfortable that we do, in fact, have Jada Justice,” Lake County Prosecutor Bernard Carter said Thursday. He did not elaborate, calling it an active murder investigation.
Charges are expected to be filed today against Jada’s 18-year-old baby-sitter, Engelica Castillo, and Castillo’s boyfriend, Tim Tkachik, sources with knowledge of the case said.
Sources familiar with the case said Castillo and Tkachik were arrested Wednesday night at a rural Porter County residence near Valparaiso and were being held Thursday evening in Lake County. (Source)
I’m trying to be good and limit my MJ assholery today but its hard because of the way people are reacting. Okay, the world’s Greatest Entertainer just died. Okay, while sad for the family, MJ lived a full life even though he was only 50. Hell, MJ lived the lives of most of us, twice. Young Jada Justice though didn’t. She was killed at the age of 2. This is just a reminder to those out there going overboard with the MJ grieving (candle light vigils, excessive crying for a man you never met, feeling sad, etc) that people die every day. This isn’t a new occurrence. Maybe its just me, but I take the lost of life of a 2 year old by two idiots harder than I do a man who acted bat shit insane for the last 20 years and died at the age of 50.
I know why this is. We like to live in a deep state of denial and never truly face the harsh realities that surround us. Michael Jackson represented the blue pill of the Matix that allowed us to escape real life and dwell in a fantasy world. Not only did his music entertain us but so did the circus that encased him during the last couple of decades. His death snaps us back to reality where we don’t have a clown to laugh at but rather are faced with a world where 2 year olds are murdered and encased in concrete tombs. Perspective people. Mourn MJ how your like. But when the next child goes missing or when your Congressman/woman denounces Universial Health Care…I hope you have the same amount of passion
June 26th, 2009 at 11:06 am
I am going to keep injecting my opinions lol….
MJ’s life at the end of the day is just another death. No one human’s life is more valuable than another because we call come from the same seed and dye and decompose the same way. MJ will not go to MJ paradise after this shit.
But in life, some people do significantly more and have a much bigger impact on humanity than others. While Jada Justice’s death is just as sad…we (well at least I) know that death comes to everyone. Can’t run around crying over EVERYBODY’s death but some hit you more than others.
June 26th, 2009 at 11:10 am
The nigga died of natural causes. I could see if he was fucking shot and someone killed him. But his heart gave out. Give me a fucking break. That’s not a shock or a tragedy. That’s life.
June 26th, 2009 at 11:25 am
Asshole is one thing….heartless is another. You can judge a lot of people on a lot of things, but how people deal with death should be the one thing that you have the decency to evade. NOONE has the right OR the place to tell anyone how to grieve ANYONE..whether it be a family member, friend,mailman,dog…WHATEVER…ESPECIALLY when you’re opposition to the methods of grieving stem soley from the fact that you don’t think they have enough passion for “other things” when, in all actual reality, you have NO IDEA how they are grieving for or how passionately they feel about things like this little girl OR Healthcare, in addition to MJ passing. WHY? Because you have NO IDEA what they may be going through or WHY they feel the way that they do. I’m all for logic and reasoning….but not in grieving death..EVER. I’d be curious to see if you can apply your logic and your “people die everyday, don’t go overboard with it” theory if, God forbid, you ever lose someone and feel the need to grieve.
June 26th, 2009 at 11:37 am
To downplay Jada’s tragic death because someone more popular died is insane. He probably had a heart attack due to complications from all that damn plastic surgery over the years. I’m not even being facetious right now. Jada’s death is affecting me more because I go swimming in the water where they found her. There are idiots at my back door killing 2 year olds and the 2 year old’s family member played a part in covering it up. That affects me more than ANY death of ANY celebrity.
And Dylan you KNOW that people take celebrity deaths personally, as if they are one of our own. We act like our own family members died. People are still not over Aaliyah’s death. The point is that though all death affects people, the cover-up and murder of a two year old SHOULD hit people harder than the natural death of a celebrity
June 26th, 2009 at 11:48 am
If I lost a love one of course that would effect me. But should that effect someone else…no. Let his family grieve for him. He made good music, great. Wtf that have to do with me? Again, people die every day. You don’t mourn every person that dies but because you listened to some MJ tracks you think you know the guy and want to cry? GTFOH. People shedding more tears for MJ than the soldiers that die PROTECTING YOU. I’m sorry, if I’m a heartless asshole for pointing that out then so be it. Someone has to.
June 26th, 2009 at 12:07 pm
My question is why do you we have to compare Jada to MJ? That makes no fucking sense. Latrice you would take Jada’s death more to heart than me simply because you have a personal connection…being from the same area. You can imagine being there with her and that is okay, its normal and natural. When a earthquake goes off in China…you do feel the same way towards the dead over there as you do now towards Jada? I would safely assume no, I am sure that 2 year olds die over there too.
When the DC metro crashed this past week, it hit close to home for me because I ride the DC metro every chance I get. I don’t expect some dude from Arkansas to feel it just as much.
Trying to compare ppl’s death is just not right. Different lives, different situations and we can leave it at that. There doesn’t have to be a wrong or right.
Jada’s story touched me somewhat, but I live in a city where I see/hear sirens every damn day, I know ppl are dying left and right…(its in the stats) but I am not running around taking it personal.
But on the other hand…MJ touched some people in some different ways and noone should take that from them. There are some ppl that I am sure his music reached and helped them get over some tough times growin up….some of MJs videos where he discusses world issues hit me more because I can imagine myself in some of those videos.
Different ppl…different stories…different ways of dealing with emotions. I can’t go playing judge and jury on how ppl feel especially when it comes to death. Now that is heartless.
Not buying into the ‘hype’ of some of the ppl that are doing the ‘too much’ is one thing…….but discounting ppl’s genuine feelings is another.
June 26th, 2009 at 12:22 pm
I’m not comparing death, I’m comparing the reaction to death. Again, MJ made great music, was a great entertainer…yet people are more up in arms about that then other more important shit. Again, everyone can do them but this is par for the course for me. Go back and check my posts on Anna Nicole Smith. I said the same shit when Princess Di died. Life goes on. People like me exist to remind everyone else that the world goes on just because your favorite musician died. Nothing changed from yesterday to today. It doesn’t impact your life. But while everyone is so focused on the inconsequential, someone needs to be there to document the shit that DOES effect your life. That’s me. That’s always been me. MJ died…okay, pour out some liquor, fire up the iPod and move on. This “I can’t believe he’s gone” mindset is sickening. MJ wasn’t on your mind 2 days ago. You weren’t worried about him then. But now that he’s dead it’s “OMG I’m so sad.” GTFOH.
June 26th, 2009 at 12:31 pm
If you were saying this a week from now…I might say you had a point. Its the next day dude…you can’t be serious. The very next day? MJ really did have a genuine impact on some people (maybe not me or you as much as some others) and its not in your place or mine to take it way from them. Let people go through their natural reactions (whether exaggerated or real)..give em a few days.
Jada’s death was not going to be big news today even if Michael hadn’t die (sad but true). So its not a matter of losing focus (can’t lose focus of something that wasn’t going to be focused on in the first place).
If we are arguing a bigger issue that people in general glorify situations that they shouldn’t and ignore the real news that they should…thats that beyond the context of MJ. Thats a much bigger issue and using MJ to argue that point is useless in my opinion.
How did you find out about Jada? Someone told you, probably media related…or you consistently go out and find news. Most people don’t do that on a day to day basis…there news is what they see on TV. There are people like you and there are people like others….it balances out.
I just think that if you are using MJ and Jada to argue a bigger issue…then that is pretty sad. I wouldn’t want to use ppl’s death, pit them against each other to make a point. There are other ways of doing that.
June 26th, 2009 at 12:32 pm
And at some point we have to get off the topic of the ‘drama queens’ that are taking too far…that is only a small percentage of people. I do believe that most people aren’t taking it too far. So focusing on the smaller population to make a point is just as useless.
June 26th, 2009 at 12:53 pm
I can’t say it any simpler. MJ died, okay…move on. It’s not the end of the world and doesn’t need to be this big deal. People die. Period. Now if anyone but me feels the need to change their life around because of that, so be it. But again I point to the fact that when I joked about Anna Nicole Smith, Princess Di, Ronald Reagan…everyone joked with me. I say the same shit about MJ and I’m villain for a day. I UNDERSTAND completely why that is. Doesn’t mean I can’t point out the hypocrisy of it. Like I said, I live this…its not some behavioral show I put on. I speak how i feel when I feel. Today is no different.
June 26th, 2009 at 12:54 pm
@Kriss Not saying you are heartless…but your views on his death and the way that people are reacting to it is most definitely heartless. All I’m saying is, just because something doesn’t make YOUR personal list of top 10 things to grieve about, doesn’t mean that it doesn’t or shouldn’t affect people, some even in a major way. Just because it didn’t impact YOUR life, doesn’t mean that there’s “no way” that it should impact someone else’s life who isn’t a close friend or family member of MJ. So you mean to tell me that if someone close to you passed away and a complete “outsider” wanted to grieve about it, you would think something was “wrong” with that? It’s not your place, or anyone else’s to pass that judgement. Period. Who death affects or how it affects them is noone’s business….granted, you are very much entitled to your own opinion, but an opinion on someone ELSE’s emotions when it comes to death can’t be deemed as “logical.”
June 26th, 2009 at 1:03 pm
Again, if he was shot outside of a concert and died that way…maybe I could see the reaction. But he died from a cardiac arrest, likely caused by his unnecessary use of prescription drugs. Sorry, not exactly something to make me slow down my day. Again, people can grieve how they want to but I can also comment on it how I like as well. If people don’t like that, then so be it…but I’m not going to hold my tongue because others might not like to hear what I’m saying. Again, where was all that when I talked about Anna Nicole Smith? Some of the same people bitching now were right there clowning with me. If you truly believe that i’m wrong cool, then you should believe that all the time…not just when your personal favorite icon dies. I’m no hypocrite and I’m an equal opportunity shit talker.
Hell, you think this is bad, wait until R. Kelly dies…I’m being reserved right now.
June 26th, 2009 at 1:18 pm
“If you truly believe that i’m wrong cool, then you should believe that all the time…not just when your personal favorite icon dies”…..I personally am equally appauled at people talking disrespectfully (whether you are someone who is consistently outspoken or not) about anyone who dies (other than people who have intentionally taken the lives of other people…OR people who do horrible things to young children..no pun intended),particularly SO SOON after they have passed. I just think that death is something that should be off limits to crude and unnecessary commentary, whether there is truth in it or not. BUT, I also realize that that is just MY opinion and not one for the masses. And yes, I must agree, you are most definitely an EO Asshole
June 26th, 2009 at 1:23 pm
…One more thing I left out….SINCE WHEN DOES THE WAY SOMEONE DIES determine they way people should grieve?? That is one of THE most ridiculous things I’ve ever heard in my life. So I guess if “Jada” had died in her sleep of natural causes, you wouldn’t expect people to be shocked, outraged, extremely upset, etc.? Wait, let me guess, your answer will be “yes, because she was 2.” MJ was 50….planning a world tour…had three young children….not 89 with a serious illness and nothing else to live for….I think MAYBE it is understandable why “random” people are so upset, even if you are not and/or don’t agree that they should be.
June 26th, 2009 at 1:23 pm
All of you are fucking stupid. Mourn who and how the fuck you want. That is all.
June 26th, 2009 at 1:25 pm
We tend to agree on a lot of things but this is definitely not one. Yes, I ll laugh and joke about Anna Nicole Smith to an extent because I had no connection with her whatsoever. Ronald Reagan didn’t rub me one way or another. MJ is different. We joke all the time that the show has a handful of white listeners…if you had some Anna Nicole fans then maybe some one would have said ‘hold up’ then. Noone did because they like myself could have cared less about Anna Nicole.
And the fact that you are already jumping the gun and TRYING to come up with the reasons why MJ would have died is even more ridiculous. How about we wait for autopsy results results first….
Yea you can say it..I joked about Kill Bill dude and him getting his cock banged in bangkok (lmao) but the way he was found dead just didn’t seem like a positive thing.
Cardiac arrests happen, sometimes of natural causes. I am not saying this because its MJ, but until someone says WHY he goes into Cardiac arrest….you gotta do better than that.
Lastly, I will admit…there is a slight double standard. We are all human…MJ seemed slightly more (not right but reality). Even your own frat brother Rev. Dr. MLK…got the benefit of the same double standard and we have a holiday named after the guy…(new can of worms I know but damn they both reached just as many ppl in this world whether its through music or civil rights).
When R Kelly dies…I would probably listen to his songs for 2 hours and move the fuck on and make jokes about his pissing ass…pls don’t put R. Kelly anywhere near MJ’s status…..
June 26th, 2009 at 1:29 pm
MJ, the guy who damn near invented facial reconstruction, who looked sickly everytime you saw him in public, who got progressively whiter the older he got, who canceled shows left and right because of “strange illnesses”, who got more child like as he got older…yeah…I’m shocked he died. Dude was 50 years old and like 90 pounds. That’s why i said what I did about how he died. A 2 year old just doesn’t (or at least shouldn’t) die all of the sudden.
Again, compared to my Anna Nicole post, I’ve been tame. If that’s how you all feel, cool…just remember this tone when someone else you weren’t too favorable of dies. I expect the same reaction.
June 26th, 2009 at 1:34 pm
Dylan that’s my point. You can joke about all those others but I make jokes about MJ and it’s “whoa…too soon dude.” Nah, fuck that. If you’re gonna go in, you go in. Period. This wish washy, sometimes I’ll make fun of it, sometimes I won’t is bullshit AND it’s hypocritical. Fine, you had more of a connection to MJ than some others did…okay…but I’m sure that others could say the same about David Cardine or Ronald Reagan or whoever. You’re condemning me for doing the same shit that you did. Again, my commentary doesn’t have a filter just because I liked MJ. If I did it for others, then I’m going to do it for him too. Fair & Balanced isn’t just a Fox News slogan.
June 26th, 2009 at 1:40 pm
And seriously, don’t ever do that MLK vs MJ comparison again. Not even in the same ball park…hell, the same universe.
June 26th, 2009 at 2:02 pm
“Again, my commentary doesn’t have a filter just because I liked MJ. If I did it for others, then I’m going to do it for him too.”…Confused now. So are you saying then that all of this “keepitrealness” with regard to MJ’s death is soley for the purpose of keeping things “fair and balanced on your site?” versus, this is how you really feel? I HOPE not…because WAY too many times do I see people claim to feel completely opposite than the majority when they really don’t, they just want to “stand out”….attention whoring, is what I think you’ve called it before? i’ve read many of your other articles on this site, and you’ve never come off as that type so I’m going to assume that that was not what you meant….furthermore, dehumanizing ANYONE’s death and/or others reaction to it soley for the purpose of consistency? COME. ON.
June 26th, 2009 at 2:29 pm
Yea what she said and you know what….I take what I said back. I will actually compare MLK to MJ. They were not in the same line of work but when it comes to impact, they are in the same ballpark. I won’t go and judge who had a bigger impact but you and noone can deny the impact that MJ had on people. Music is powerful and reaches people in a lot of ways that you probably won’t understand.
So yea..thats probably another blog post and 3 days of conversations but yes I will put MLK and MJ on the same ship (not to piss you off) but because I do see SOME similarities in their outreach.
June 26th, 2009 at 2:31 pm
And yea what MzLogic said in her last comment. You are really trying to argue this like a lawyer with TOO much logic. Not everything in life require that level of cut-throat-ness.
Yea I m done with this article. Lets just stay away from this topic on the podcast.
June 26th, 2009 at 2:40 pm
Dylan, I’m with Kriss, the issue is the reaction of the masses to these deaths.
I don’t think it’s sad at all, to cite these two examples. I actually thing it’s appropriate. Discussing a topic with the severity of death helps people realize how fucked up they really are, which is why it is such a sensitive subject. The rules for accepting and discussing death are different for everyone. That does not alter the fact that it can be discussed in any level. It is an inevitable part of life, whether we want to talk about it or not.
But we have to agree to disagree on one fundamental principle. All death is NOT the same. If I must die I’d rather die of a heart attack than be beaten, burned, buried in concrete and cast into Lake Michigan. The latter PALES in comparison to the former.
I whole-heartedly believe that Jada’s death is worse than MJ’s. There are few things that trump a 2-year-old being burned and buried in concrete. A 50-yr-old performer dying of a heart attack is not one of them. And I am attacking the mentality that would allow a person to be more affected by a celebrity’s death than the vicious murder of a child. All of this, of course, is my personal opinion.
Furthermore, why are you are making it seem like we are the one’s that created the original dichotomy between MJ and Jada’s deaths? Whether or not Kriss and I drew it is irrelevant, the dichotomy had already been drawn. These deaths have been pitted against each other in the realm of the media. Before Kriss posted this article the media was covering MJ and brushing over Jada, if they covered it at all. Not only the media, but Facebookers, who get their info from the media, were on there acting like someone murdered Jesus when MJ died and were asking me “Who is Jada Justice?”. I’m pretty sure that’s what compelled him to write. That’s exactly what pissed me off. The dichotomy is based on celebrity.
And you’re absolutely right. It hits closer to home for me b/c I’m from Gary, IN. I’m here witnessing the MJ media circus. I can understand why someone in Vegas wouldn’t be affected the way I am, though part of me feels they should be. I’m here in Michael Jackson Mecca, where people are traveling to take pics of the house in which they grew up, leaving money on the door like tithes. I’m here where people are paying money to park and cry and dance on the street where MJ used to live. I’m here in the city where Michael NEVER returned until he was done with his career, yet its citizens are drawing desperate connections to him any way possible. He didn’t really care about Gary like that and we’re here doing everything to claim him. I’m here, where Michael Jackson lived. And I’m here where this little girl died. And here, in Gary, IN, in today’s headlines, MJ got the front page while Jada got three-quarters of an inch across the top. This says to me that, at least according to the Media, MJ’s death is more important than Jada’s. Priorities people. That is why we’re mad.
And come on. You know people are over-reacting. The fucking radio station at the Taste of Chicago asked people to wear a white glove to the Cameo and GAP Band concert in honor of MJ. GTFOH.
People do live in a fantasy. This would explain our artificial connections to celebrities (i.e. ‘Omarion is my man!’ and ‘RIP Aaliyah!’ FB statuses every Aug 25th). Though I believe Jada’s was more tragic, this is not an issue of whose death was worse. It’s an issue of the ridiculous way people are handling it, because overall, it is ridiculous. And how can people be this ridiculous? Especially in this city, when an innocent child here suffered a horrendous death b/c she was hungry and wouldn’t stop crying. There is no excuse for the circus going on here, esp not an excuse like “grieving” a celebrity. Someone made a comment under an article I posted that said, “I can celebrate the life of an entertainer much easier than mourn the death of an innocent child”…. which hit me hard, because this is what people are doing. Only b/c it’s easier….
June 26th, 2009 at 3:18 pm
ugh…no people, this isn’t just for the site. As I said before. I live this shit. If you’re going to joke after those other deaths you really have to stfu when someone else jokes about MJ. Dylan you said so yourself, you and I were going hard at David Carradine and I actually haven’t even gone as hard as I’ve done on the death of other celebrities so saying that I’m doing this just for show is ridiculous. My whole point was, if you’re going to be this passionate about a man you’ve never met and the only thing he did was create some great music…show the same passion for other more important things. That’s it. Now if you want to argue that this is more important, then fine…we just won’t see eye to eye on that. Take that how you want to.
And Dylan…really, MLK in the same light as MJ. We’d all still be drinking out of separate water fountains if not for MLK. WTF did MJ do other than bring some good music and give us the skinny jeans epidemic? Really…Yeah, MLK had his downsides and demons but the difference is, MLK wasn’t bat shit insane or accused of touching little kids. Not all fuck ups are on the same level.
June 26th, 2009 at 3:26 pm
@Latrice….Ok, now THAT in itself (i.e. artificial connections to celebrities and being out of touch with “real” news) is a completely separate topic of discussion. BOTH of these deaths made me sad….BOTH of these deaths have had an affect on me…and I knew NEITHER of these people. The fact that Jada’s death affected you MORE than MJ’s death and it did not for other people does not make it “wrong” just because your feelings are not theirs and vice versa. While I get (and TOTALLY agree with) the fact that it bothers you that people are so uninformed and often times seemingly numb when horrendous crimes happen to children, it is not the place of any of us to judge the way that people grieve based on our personal feelings about the situation/person that they ARE grieving about. If that is the case, people could argue the same point about those(outside of family/friends) who ARE “feeling sad” for Jada and “don’t know her.” Although Jada was a child who died horribly and MJ was an adult who died of natural causes (pending), when it comes down to it, it is the same concept: greiving for “strangers.” As Kriss said earlier, let’s be consistent then, why is it ok for me to feel sad for an innocent little girl that I didn’t know, but when it’s a celebrity that I didn’t know,then I’m “doing too much?” I get that you guys are upset by the fact that people are ignorant when it comes to keeping up with important news/tragedies versus entertainment news/tragedies, but that doesn’t mean that we should take away from or surpess the effect that one person’s death can have on society just because another person’s was overlooked. It’s a TERRIBLE thing that Jada’s death is not a national headline, but, as Dylan pointed out, whether MJ died or not, the fact the it’s not a headline would or should still be an issue…no need to use his death/reactions to it to make that point.
June 26th, 2009 at 3:43 pm
Yes, MORALLY I do feel that the horrific murder of a 2 year old SHOULD have more of an effect on society than the death of an iconic celeb, but REALISTICALLY, when people have been following this man’s life (music, movies, interviews, etc.) for decades and they have been following this little girl’s story for 24 hours (if that), it is natural (even if not right) that one reaction would surpass the other.
June 26th, 2009 at 3:53 pm
Real talk…no one…not one person…gave two shits about Michael Jackson the day before he died. People were cracking MJ jokes. Today, now all the sudden we’re suppose to act like that didn’t happen? Come on. I have iTunes, I can peep his music still. RIP, sorry for the family…okay. But when a little girl is murdered, that can affects me and my life. When Universal Health Care doesn’t get passed, that affects me. If North Korea starts dropping bombs on the U.S….that affects me. MJ dying…nothing. Now I have no problem if you want to grieve excessively for MJ…do you. But show the same passion for the real issues in our lives. I wrote this because the truth is…we won’t. People will go out of their way to show support for MJ for the next week but won’t for shit that effects them right now, in their community. Hell. People already talking about excusing Chris Brown’s felony just so they can see him do an MJ tribute. I’m sorry but that kind of shit pisses me off.
June 26th, 2009 at 4:04 pm
Understood. Guess I have just always had a thing with generalized, blanket statments because 99% of the time, they are not true for me personally. I’m deeply saddened by what happened to Jada…in fear of what MIGHT happen with N. Korea….constantly praying on the Universal Healthcare issue……………………………………and very upset when I heard that MJ died yesterday. It ALL affected me, and I think that it ALL affected a lot of people.
June 27th, 2009 at 10:27 pm
It is sad that MJ died,but people are acting crazy,yes he was a celebrity,but I think all the murdered children out there,like precious Jada should get as much if not more attention.This little girl will never have the chance to grow up.
August 7th, 2009 at 3:07 pm
Blessings to Jada and her faimly. This is truly sad. I don’t see how this relates to MJ, but that’s a different story.
What bothers me is that reporters like Nancy Grace want to continue their dead-end coverage on Kaylee Anthony (blessings to her as well), who went missing, but whose body was discovered in December last year. I didn’t hear a thing about this little girl Jada, however. Are the lives of certain children more valuable than others? What’s up with that?
August 21st, 2009 at 10:40 pm
Was wondering why I never heard of this case, but I guess sharing an anniversary with MJ will do that. Best wishes go out to this child’s family, but I doubt we would have heard about her missing because she is not blond/blue. That disturbs me even more.

i was not able to read all the comments but not to tell any lie when i heard mj died it didnt really touch me that much because i didnt really follow up on him or knew him that much.But when i watched his music videos and documentaries about his life i felt real sad for days because i realised that this was a nice man who cared alot for chilren from 0 year old and up. And maybe it is that he had some malfunction in the brain because of all that he had been through so he acted a little strange but i understand.His life was not neccessarily a good one.He had low self esteem and all of that which many people have.and even now i am sad that he died.It doesnt even matter that much how a person dies but the fact that they died touches me.and wat made it worst is that his death could have been prevented.his life story and music touched me and he was a very nice person.Now for jada i dont know her but i still feel sad that ,that happened to her and she didnt even get to experience life.But i dont think we should compare because in gods sight everyonee is equal.and im sure if i knew jada then i would be weeping even now

wwat kriss said on june 26 really hurts me.wat u need to understand kriss is that u knew this little girl and she was close to u so of course u would feel this way but those who didnt know her are not going to feel the same way. they may be sad because another child died but they knew mj as in got touched by his music his life story and him being a great guy and im sure if these ppl knew jada then they wouold be feeling the same way or even worse and plus mj contributed somrthing to this world extra that jada didnt so he is more recognised but it doesnt mean that she isnt as important.i dont think we should be comparing because they are totally different situations. It is the the same as my little sister,she died and didnt even get to experience life but no one knew about her,she didnt contribute anything to this world and they werent close to her.but i aint cursing.u should not be telling ppl who to feel sad for .if if u dont feel the same way others feel about mj well that is just fine and i wont curse u but its just all emotions.i really dont think u should have compared these to persons and cursing ppl for feeling sorry for mj and not jada.they didnt even know her or knew that she died!

Hasn’t gone to trial yet but the DA is considering the death penalty…which I hope they go for.
