The whole story was rubbish(anyway). The proscution had no eveidence,
the where just trying to prejugdise the jury and the jury didn't buy
it.

MJ did a dance on top of the car outside the courtroom and exposed(tom
sneddon and the arvizo family) for what they really are(racist and con
artist). They will labled that for life.

The tabloids should sue the Arvizo family for their money back.
