After almost 33 hours of deliberations, the jury in the Michael Jackson molestation trial has ruled that Jackson is not guilty on all counts.

Jackson was a little late getting to the courthouse after receiving only an hour to get to the courtroom from the Neverland Ranch. Over a thousand people are expected to show up at the courthouse over the next day.

The announcement came shortly after Judge Rodney S. Melville issued a statement saying that the jury asked and withdrew a question Monday morning. He also confirmed that on Friday the jury had a read-back of testimony and there were four meetings in chambers with attorneys. News organizations had filed motions seeking information on such developments.

Jackson, 46, is charged with molesting a 13-year-old cancer survivor in 2003, plying him with wine and conspiring to hold the boy and his family captive to get them to rebut a damaging television documentary.

He was facing one count of conspiracy, four counts of molestation, and five counts of providing alcohol to a minor.
He was found not guilty of conspiracy, molestation, and providing alcohol to a minor.

just because a jury said he didn't do it...doesn't mean he didn't do it.

It pisses me off that they're actually interrupting other stuff on tv to talk about this nonsense.

For such rousing commentary as "I'm being told Jackson is dabbing at his eyes with Kleenex."

There was someone outside holding a sign that says "Michael on behalf of humanity we're sorry".

I'm satisfied. A sick man, no doubt, but I don't think he's a danger to anyone.

Of course they found him not guilty. This was a terrible case. He may or may not have abused children at some point, but he clearly did NOT with this kid.

The prosecution claims that he only started molesting this kid AFTER the famous documentary aired. That makes no sense. When you combine that with the fact that the mother of this kid has
A) Hustled money from other celebrities
B)Claimed false imprisonment twice before
The facts don't add up, sorry.

Of course a lot of you will cry "he's a weirdo, he musta dun it!!" Unfortunately, thinking guilt and proving it are two totally different things.

Anyone who thinks he's guilty hasn't seen the evidence. It was thinner than MJ's nose.

I'm not surprised and I'm not disappointed.

How can you hear the phrase "Jesus Juice" and then say "Not Guilty"?

Does. Not. Compute.
