MJ: Not guilty on all 10 charges
Michael Jackson has been found Not Guilty on all ten counts in his child molestation trial.
In the eyes of most, this is a complete vindication for pop star Michael Jackson, though in the eyes of some, Jackson's musical career -- at least in America -- may never be able to recover.
Personally, I was surprised - I anticipated a split verdict, but not a full acquittal.
The breakdown of the charges and verdict: Count 1 - Conspiracy, not guilty. Counts 2-6 - Molestation, not guilty. Counts 7-10 - Giving alcohol to a minor in order to commit a felony, not guilty.

Just goes to show that if you're a celeb in Cali, you're free to do whatever you want with impudence.
