Santa Maria - Michael Jackson has been found not guilty in his child-sex trial.
Jurors took 32.5 hours to come to their decision on whether the 46-year-old "King of Pop" is guilty or innocent of 10 charges, including child molestation, plying a minor with alcohol and conspiring to kidnap the boy and his family. Jackson has pleaded innocent to all the charges that legal experts said could send him to jail for more than 18 years, if he is convicted on all counts.
