درباره این اپیزود
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.
