Now that it's all over, the most disturbing thing to ponder about the Michael Jackson trial concerns his nose, or lack thereof. It's been widely reported that Jackson, due to extensive plastic surgery, no longer has any cartilage left in his nasal area. Now, I know several people who no longer have a septum, but this still comes as a shock to me. Allegedly, Jackson has been donning a falsie for the last few years, a prosthetic device that he usually wears in combination with glasses, like a schnoz. But here's the question: had Jackson been given jail time, would he have been given permission to wear the prosthetic device, his de facto nose, by his new guardians? Most likely not, unless it could be proven that the prosthetic is necessary to sustain life. You can argue that an inmate cannot walk around prison with absolutely no nose, mostly due to risk of infection, but I guess now we'll never know. Another mystery unsolved.
