Video: '1 hour CNN live: Michael Jackson NOT GUILTY verdict 13th June 2005

(Monday, June 13, 2005, 2:13 p.m. PDT) — Michael Jackson was acquitted today of all charges against him by a jury that absorbed three months of often lurid testimony about his life and relationships with young boys but rejected a teenager’s claim that Jackson plied him with liquor and sexually molested him.

Jackson never returned to Neverland Ranch, and spent the first several months after the trial living abroad in Bahrain and Ireland.

In 2013, four years after Jackson’s death, one of the defense witnesses, Wade Robson, changed his position and filed a lawsuit, saying he had been abused by Jackson.
