SANTA YNEZ, Calif. - Michael Jackson’s family and fans — and at least one of the jurors who acquitted him of child molestation — gathered Friday night for a huge party that was billed as a celebration of thanks.
The pop star himself, who has not appeared in public since his 14-week trial ended Monday, was nowhere in sight.
Among the approximately 400 people who arrived at the Chumash Indian Casino was juror Pauline Coccoz. When she walked into the casino and heard Jackson’s music playing, Coccoz said, the enormity of what had transpired hit her.
“They were playing ‘Beat It,’ and I almost started to cry,” she said as she waited to enter the showroom. She said that earlier in the day, she had received a wristband needed for admission to the party.
