FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
BetCBSports.com POSTS ODDS ON MICHAEL JACKSON TRIAL
(Zapote, Costa Rica, 19 November 2003)- Authorities issued an arrest warrant on Wednesday for the self-proclaimed King of Pop, Michael Jackson. The superstar singer of the popular hit, "I'm Bad!" faces multiple counts of child molestation, as the warrant was issued and bail was set at $3 million. The warrant is for violation of a California law that prohibits lewd or lascivious acts with a child under the age of 14.
"This case will be right up there with the Kobe Bryant trial," says BetCBSports.com CEO, Dave Johnson. "High Profile Criminal Trials catch the publics interest. Wagering on the outcome makes it more interesting."
District Attorney, Thomas W. Sneddon Jr., has said that the sealed affidavit, outlining details of the case, will be released in 45 days. He was quoted as saying, "At this point in time, Mr. Jackson has been given an opportunity to surrender himself to the custody of the Santa Barbara Sheriff's Department, within a specified period of time."
A spokesperson for Jackson declined comment, but has said a statement will be released late Wednesday.
Will Michael Jackson be found guilty? Will he serve prison time?
BetCBSports.com has posted the following odds on the outcome:
Yes, Michael Jackson will be found guilty -160
No, Michael Jackson will be acquitted/hung jury +120
(Betting YES on the above odds means the player has to bet $160 to win $100. Betting NO means the player can bet $100 to win $120.).
