An explosion occurred at the California courthouse in Santa Maria, where Michael Jackson was tried and acquitted nearly 20 years ago. Residents near the courthouse were warned to avoid the area as it was deemed unsafe. Jackson, who passed away in 2009, was accused of sexually abusing a child at his Neverland Ranch and was acquitted of all charges in a 2005 trial held in Santa Maria. The incident is still under investigation and updates are expected as the story develops.
