Correction, the last case was not settled out of court and he was legally acquitted AKA declared innocent of all counts.
Honestly I think the mother of that last case was a gold digger and she was out to get as much money off of jackson as possible.
She was reportedly very manipulative of her son.

The case in 1993 he was pressured by his legal advisors and family to settle out of court as Michael was in declining health and they did not think he could endure a lengthy trial.

As far as I'm concerned he's innocent.

I don't think that's true, that's like saying Clint Eastwood died after he finished with the Dirty Harry series and stopped acting in westerns.
