Fourteen counts. Not guilty on every single one. Twenty-one years
later, Netflix has reopened the case — and one of Michael
Jackson's own defense witnesses is about to change his story.

In June 2005, Michael Jackson walked out of a Santa Barbara
courtroom acquitted of all 14 child sexual abuse charges.
Netflix's new three-part docuseries "The Verdict" revisits that
2005 trial, and in Part 1 Tyrella and Nikita break it down
episode by episode — the Martin Bashir interview that started it
all, the raid on Neverland, and the fingerprint evidence at the
center of the case.

We also get into what the documentary left out: the surprise
witness who blew up the "captivity" story, and the "neutral"
family friend with an undisclosed tie to the prosecution. This is
Part 1. Part 2 — who flipped, and where the estate stands in 2026
— drops Thursday (out now for patrons).

Content warning: discusses child sexual abuse
allegations, grooming testimony, and substance use.
