Netflix has released the trailer for a new three-part docuseries, 'Michael Jackson: The Verdict', which examines the pop star's 2005 child molestation trial and his acquittal. The series premieres on June 3.
The docuseries covers the 2003 charges against Jackson, the subsequent trial, and the intense media scrutiny surrounding the case. It features interviews with jurors, witnesses, accusers, and defenders, presenting both the prosecution and defence perspectives.
Directed by Nick Green and executive produced by Fiona Stourton, the filmmakers said they aimed to provide a historical account of the trial, which they described as a 'closed event' due to the ban on cameras in court. They added that 20 years after the verdict, controversy still surrounds the case.
The series also includes interviews with media figures who covered the trial. Showrunner David Herman executive produces alongside Stourton and James Goldston. The series is produced by Candle True Stories.
