Let that man rest. The late Michael Jackson, recognized worldwide for his immense contributions to music and culture, has faced a lifetime of scrutiny and legal battles. His untimely passing brought immense grief to millions of fans and supporters who wish to remember him for his talent, kindness, and the joy he spread through his unparalleled art.

The upcoming documentary titled "Michael Jackson: The Verdict" slated for release by Netflix has sparked outrage among fans and admirers who believe that this is yet another attempt to sensationalize a deeply personal and painful chapter in Jackson's life. The trial, which was one of the most publicized events in media history, has been dissected and analyzed countless times. Rehashing it yet again disregards the sentiments of those who cherish his legacy.

By producing such content, Netflix amplifies the voices of sensationalism rather than focusing on the positive, artistic impact that Jackson has left behind globally. His music broke barriers, brought communities together, and inspired several generations of artists. It's time we shift the focus to celebrating and preserving this cultural legacy rather than diminishing it with reminders of turmoil.

Furthermore, it is essential to consider the impact on Michael Jackson's family, friends, and children who continue to grapple with the loss and their own grief. Continuous exposure to legal controversies not only affects his family but also risks re-opening wounds for numerous fans worldwide who mourn his loss.

The creators of the movie only want to steal his biopic spotlight and they're using him to make money. 

I urge Netflix to reconsider its decision and choose not to release "Michael Jackson: The Verdict." Instead, they have the opportunity to produce a documentary focusing on his musical genius, global influence, and humanitarian efforts, which can serve as an educational piece for future generations.

Please support this petition to protect the legacy of Michael Jackson and honor his wish to rest in peace. Sign this petition to persuade Netflix to halt the release of this documentary and instead focus on spreading the vibrant arts and positive influence he continually shared with the world.
