"The Superior Court in and for the County of Santa Barbara in the matter of the People vs. Michael Jackson has announced that the jury has returned a verdict." That was the official word from the court at about 12:30 p.m. PT Monday. It was the signal those at Neverland had been waiting for. Michael Jackson and his family left the gates of his Santa Ynez estate amid fan cheers and made their way to Santa Maria to hear the jury's say.
