Judge rejects new trial in Jackson secret-taping case

A Los Angeles judge threw out a request for a new trial for an air charter service that was ordered to pay more than €12.5m for secretly videotaping Michael Jackson and his lawyers as the pop star was on his way to surrender on child molestation charges.

Superior Court Judge Soussan Bruguera rejected the motion by the now-defunct Santa Monica-based company XtraJet and its owner Jeffrey Borer.
