A singular entertainer, Jackson\u2019s music has a timelessness and energy that reverberates across generations. However, the \u201cThriller\u201d artist\u2019s eccentricities and legal battles also remain forever tethered to his name. When Jackson was accused of multiple accounts of child molestation in 2003, it set off <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a> mayhem, rivaling the O.J. Simpson trial a decade prior. Now, in Netflix\u2019s latest docu<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series<\/a>, \u201cMichael Jackson: The Verdict,\u201d director Nick Green examines the case against the Motown legend, the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a> circus surrounding the 2005 trial and what h<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ened inside the courtroom. Though the show offers the details and accounts which eventually led to Jackson\u2019s acquittal, it stands more as an examination of our collective obsession with celebrity, who the public is willing to believe and why.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe three-episode series opens amid the search warrant executed on Jackson\u2019s 2,700-acre ranch, Neverland near Santa Barbara, California. Never-before-seen video shows law enforcement officers combing through every nook and cranny of the estate, including bedrooms, hidden stairwells and rooms full of dolls, videotapes and figurines. Though many Jackson fans and people who were around in the early 2000s certainly will recall the hoopla that was the trial, Green goes back to the beginning. Former BBC journalist Martin Bashir\u2019s documentary \u201cLiving With Michael Jackson\u201d put the spotlight on the entertainer\u2019s relationship with 12-year-old Gavin Arvizo, who would go on to accuse the King of Pop of molesting him.<br \/>\u200b<br \/>As Episode 1 highlights, Jackson never really recovered from the 1993 child molestation accusations when he settled with 12-year-old Jordy Chandler and his family for $23 million. Determined to reclaim his image, Jackson invited Bashir to Neverland to make a film. In \u201cMichael Jackson: The Verdict,\u201d Bashir recalls meeting the singer, earning his trust and filming \u201cLiving With Michael Jackson.\u201d In the BBC documentary, Jackson is seen clutching Arvizo\u2019s hand and speaking joyfully about sharing a bed with the boy on multiple occasions. It was a revelation that stunned the world and set off a firestorm, followed by accusations of child sex abuse.<br \/>\u200b<br \/>Using archival footage, trial notes, clips and interviews from key players, including prosecutor Ron Zonen, defense attorney Mark Geragos, several jurors, Bashir, investigative journalist Diane Dimond, and several folks from Jackson\u2019s inner circle \u2014 like his then-publicist, Raymone Bain, and director of security Kerry Anderson \u2014 \u201cThe Verdict\u201d recounts Jackson\u2019s indictment, trial and, eventually, the verdict.<br \/>\u200b<br \/>No cameras were allowed in the court, yet the series does an expert job unpacking the ins and outs of the three-month-long trial. Dimond and CBS trial analyst Trent Copeland, among others, reflect on the ups and downs of both legal teams across the 60-day long trial, while offering viewers insight into Jackson\u2019s state of mind and the public\u2019s perception of what was happening.<br \/>\u200b<br \/>Still, the trial itself isn\u2019t the most interesting component of the docuseries. What\u2019s most significant is Green\u2019s ability to showcase how the trial wasn\u2019t going to be \u201cfair\u201d on either side. There are some figures who can usurp the American justice system (no matter how historically corrupt, racist and unfair it may be), and Jackson was one of those people. Despite the damning evidence and testimony, the prosecution appeared to have forgotten \u00a0the burden was truly on them to prove guilt, which meant they needed to battle the court of public opinion from the start.<br \/>\u200b<br \/>From the media tapes, jurors and archival footage of megafan Sheree Wilkins, who quit her job as a preschool teacher to be present for the trial, it quickly became evident people had long ago formed their opinions of Jackson, and they were sticking to their beliefs at any cost.<br \/>\u200b<br \/>That\u2019s clearly still true today. Amidst the current frenzy surrounding the success of the Michael Jackson biopic \u201cMichael,\u201d it makes sense Netflix would revisit one of the defining moments of the \u201cMan in the Mirror\u201d singer\u2019s life. However, when it all shakes out, \u201cMichael Jackson: The Verdict\u201d is an indictment of a society committed to whatever narrative made most sense to them. Two decades after the trial ended, the only innocents in all of this were the children.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t<em>\u201cMichael Jackson: The Verdict\u201d is now streaming on Netflix.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
