The first of several "vigil's of faith", in support of Michael Jackson, are being held today in Santa Maria at 4:30PM local time.
It will start at the baseball diamond, near the courthouse, it will then move around the courthouse. The organisers then expect it to finish in front of the courthouse, where a candlelight vigil will take place.
To my view it is fair enough, and indeed decent, to show support for someone that you care about facing trial. However, using religious symbolism eg candles and terms such as "vigil of faith" is to my view unwise; Michael Jackson is, despite what some fans may wish to believe, human.
