JACKSON CLEARED

A JURY acquitted Michael Jackson last night of molesting 13-year-old cancer survivor Gavin Arvizo at his Neverland ranch, vindicating the pop star who insisted he was the victim of mother-and-son con artists and a prosecutor with a vendetta.

Jurors also acquitted him of conspiring to imprison his accuser and the boy's family at the estate a total legal victory but one that may do little to improve his bizarre image.

The jury also acquitted Jackson of getting Gavin Arvizo drunk before molesting him and conspiring to imprison the boy and his family at Neverland.
