An improvised explosive device exploded at the courthouse in Santa Maria, California, where Michael Jackson was acquitted nearly 20 years ago. Residents were warned to avoid the area as it was not deemed safe. Two people suffered non-life-threatening injuries and a suspect was taken into custody. The explosion was intentionally set, according to authorities. Deputies focused on a parked car linked to the suspect. Jackson, who was accused of sexually abusing a boy at his Neverland Ranch, was acquitted of all charges in the 2005 trial in Santa Maria. The investigation into the explosion is ongoing. Please stay tuned for updates.
