Jackson pleaded not guilty to seven child abuse charges
|
Police who raided Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch looking for evidence in his child abuse case seized computers and video cameras, court papers show.
More than 12 computers, video and still cameras plus videotapes were seized in the California raid, documents released by Santa Barbara Superior Court reveal.
But it was unclear what evidence, if any, was found in the November search.
Singer Jackson, 45, has pleaded not guilty to seven abuse charges and two of plying a child with alcohol.
The records note that a locksmith had to open the master bathroom and that the keys were ultimately found in a safe.
Unseal
Items found in the master bathroom included a laptop computer found inside a locked closet, a digital camera found by a sink and miscellaneous papers.
The documents were released to lawyers representing several news organizations that have asked Superior Court Judge Rodney S. Melville to unseal the search warrant.
The judge ruled last month that most of the records would not be unsealed but agreed to release some of the documents after heavy editing.
The list released Monday was so extensively edited that references to several items were cut out completely.
