Rev. Sharpton Helps Jackson Family Cope

The Hill reports Rev. Al Sharpton has been providing spiritual counseling to members of Michael Jackson’s family. Michael’s brother Jermaine phoned him over the weekend to express “the family’s concern for Michael” following his child molestation charge. “I’d like to help,” said Sharpton, “but I don’t know that much about the case.” In addition, Sharpton already has a busy schedule, currently running for the Democratic presidential candidacy.
