MICHAEL JACKSON - JUDGE IN JACKSON CASE TO UNSEAL DOCUMENTS

The judge in MICHAEL JACKSON's child molestation case has announced plans to release the documents he ordered sealed when proceedings began.

On Monday (13JUN05), the THRILLER singer, 46, won complete acquittal on a 10-count indictment which alleged he molested a 13-year-old cancer survivor in 2003, plied the boy with wine and conspired to hold him and his family captive.

And now Judge RODNEY MELVILLE is eyeing the possibility of releasing the videos that were shown during the trial. He's also giving attorneys until 23 June (05) to object to unsealing specific documents.

He says, "I have no intention to keep anything sealed except something that might involve privacy matters of a juror."

Material which had been sealed in the case included search warrants, sections of motions that were blacked out, questions asked by the jury during deliberations and transcripts of hearings in the judge's chambers.

Melville says there is so much material that it probably cannot be released for about a month.
