Michael Jackson's Legal Issues

After Michael Jackson settled his legal issues with Prince Abdullah, I can CONFIRM that the King of Pop has NO MORE major ongoing court cases!

Two cases out of the five left are already dismissed, but Jackson's lawyer filed his briefs. One case had no updates in the past one year, the two others are harmless.

Michael Jackson is a wealthy and famous person, and will be the target of such cases as other celebrities are. But Jackson's recent court cases are far from dangerous, especially if we compare them to previous years.
