LOS ANGELES, Calif. – Neverland Ranch is up for sale.
The California property that once served as Michael Jackson’s home and personal fantasyland is being listed at $100 million, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Despite rumours after Jackson’s death that the hilly property might be transformed into a Graceland-like homage to the King of Pop, Colony Capital has quietly maintained the ranch located about 150 miles north of Los Angeles…

Judge: Convictions stand in Georgia peanut trial after potential jury misconduct investigated
– canadianbusiness.com
SAVANNAH, Ga. – A federal judge Thursday refused to throw out criminal convictions in a salmonella outbreak traced to a Georgia peanut plant after the court investigated defence attorneys’ claims of jury misconduct.
Former Peanut Corporation of America owner Stewart Parnell, his food broker brother, Michael Parnell, and the former quality assurance manager of the company’s Georgia plant, Mary Wilkerson, were convicted in September on charges related to a salmonella outbreak in 2008 and 2009 that was blamed for 714 illnesses nationwide.
Court records unsealed Thursday show that months ago defence attorneys for all three defendants asked the judge to overturn the convictions after one juror came forward saying other jury members had researched the case outside the courtroom and discussed deaths that had been blamed on the outbreak. Deaths were not part of the trial evidence.
In his ruling, U.S. District Court Judge Louis Sands revealed that he had called all jury members back to court and interviewed them in closed-door sessions with attorneys in October and November…
