Okay, y'all clearly don't know what it means to turn yourself in. Turning yourself in only means that the cops didn't have to come looking for you. Once Jackson was fired, he went to the police and told him he was the one they were looking for. Whether you turn yourself in or you don't, there is a warrant out for your arrest. They are going to find you either way; that is inevitable. You cannot deny that fact or run away from them long enough for them to stop searching. If the cops don't have to spend a lot of time looking for you, and you cooperate, they will most likely tell that to the judge. That could, depending on the judge, have a very good impact on the judges opinion of you, which in turn could lead to some very good results on whether you are found innocent or guilty. If the cops have to look for you for a long time, the word they give the judge won't be good, and that will also help decide whether you spend time in the slammer. So, in reality, it is smart to turn yourself in. [ Report Abuse ]

Jessica- My oppion is that Mr.Jackson most likely will pay a $ 25,000 bond for what he did. And might be proven inoccent but still be in jail/prison for about 2 years even though inoccent but will pay for nasty words and jokes about girls. and touching girls on the shoulders and/or staring on inappropite places. But most hands point to GUILTY because even him self had turn himself saying he has done something wrong. But i think within the criminal justice of the crime he is innocent. i looked on the news and he is on house arrest [ Report Abuse ]

Alright, let's staart acting mature. Everyone posting comments is so sure that Mr. Jackson didn't do it. How are you so sure? Just because he doesn't seem like the kind of person that would do that, doesn't mean he didn't. There are sides to people that are rarely seen. I think everyone should just calm down and wait to see if he is found guilty or innocent. [ Report Abuse ]

Shoddy police work can occur in any case. Sounds like there is no physical evidence in this case, just "he said she said," which sounds weak at best. Many people in the community seem to believe Mr. Jackson is innocent. If Mary and Bob are incorrect, the girls families will be open to a huge lawsuit. This just occurred in Seattle. A teacher was accused of similar charges, they were unable to make the case, but his career was destroyed anyway. He was awarded a large sum of money from his accusers families. [ Report Abuse ]

What's to say that they even collected the evidence properly? We have a 6yr old who came forward and told the police that a man that lives with his "mental father" had performed sexual acts on him and another child in that house. The evidence is there and yet CSPD is prosecuting us because this man passed a lie detector test and they never gave him a preditor test. We had our child ripped out of our house on Friday because they are telling us that we are the ones telling him to say these things. The police even told him that we are the bad people.They system is majorly flawed when they blame the victims instead of following the evidence. [ Report Abuse ]

My experience has been that girls of this age have a "pack mentality." They take great pleasure in creating grief and havoc for others; to include their peers as well as those in positions of authority. As an individual person, they withdraw into their world of denial and self doubt. It is only when they have the "suppoort of their girl friends" do they feel impowered. Separate the accusers and question them individually. Then, and only then, will the truth be told! [ Report Abuse ]

This is not about Mr Jackson being "weird". He has violated two teenage female girls who were strong enough to speak up and say this was wrong-there are more but they are too afraid to say anything. There are more. Do you really think he did this in front of other people so they would see it? It was discreet. He has has gone too far! Read the arrest warrant and you will see the evidence. It is public information. It is not only the physical grabbing, but his sexual comments as well. You think he "wouldn't do something like that"..well obviously there is evidence that says he did. You think you can tell a sexual predator by looking at someone. They try no to get caught. It will be interesting to watch as the facts come out about this case. [ Report Abuse ]

the two girls who are accusing him should be highly ashamed. Everyone knows that Jackson is not that kind of man and that he desperately loves his job and woudl never do anything to get fired. I'm pretty sure those girls are making things up becuase they don't get along with Jackson very well. All i can say is that a good portion of Jackson's former students highly disagree with what has happened becuase we all know him too well. And we all know that he wouldn't even think about touching middle school girls. well all hope everything works out... best of wishes from all! [ Report Abuse ]

Hello. Let's wait and see what the evidence shows; I only hope that polygraphs are part of the process. Considering he is now in jail, I would expect the evidence to be rather strong. Seaan: if you thought this was going to happen all along, why did you not report anything to anyone??? Lastly, I would like folks to know that if you send mail, and it's rife with spelling and grammatical errors, it just doesn't seem to have much credibility, at least from my perception. It appears that these notes are coming from high school age kids which rather supports the perception that our schools are dumbing kids rather than educating them. I may seem to be whining yet some of the notes just seem goofy. Oh, regarding the "Salmon" witch trial, does anyone smell something fishy...???!!! Bye and God Bless. Bill [ Report Abuse ]

This should of not of happen. I was one of those girls who at first thought he was weird but once i got to know him he was a great teacher, friend, and coach. I was on his volleyball team and basketball team... and their was nothing like that going on!! He just wants to have fun and play the game. I think that this case is just like the Salmon Witch Trial! Because just a couple of weeks ago i helped him out with his volleyball team and there was nothing like that! i have known him for 4 years now and he tells me a lot of stuff and thats defiantly not him at all! I think that it was just two girls who didn't like him and wanted to get him fired. [ Report Abuse ]

He seemed like a pretty good guy. Hope he's innocent.
