    "Not Guilty" Verdict in Jackson Molestation Trial

    In a conservative corner of Santa Barbara County, Michael Jackson has been acquitted of all ten counts involving child-molestation. Fans were delighted, others were outraged, but District Attorney Tom Snedden would not rule out another case against Jackson. 10 years ago, a settlement stopped Santa Barbara District Attorney Tom Snedden from prosecuting on similar charges. After today-s verdict, he was asked what that history had to do with bringing this year-s complicated indictment. We hear more about the jury-s decision and what Jackson might do about his tarnished reputation. Reporter's Notebook: Governor Schwarzenegger Wants an Election Governor Schwarzenegger made it offical today. There will be special election this coming November. Dan Weintraub of the Sacramento Bee joins us with the details.
