MICHAEL JACKSON DEPARTS SANTA MARIA COURTHOUSE AFTER ARRAIGNMENT

A mammoth collection of stage costumes, photographs, documents and props belonging to Jackson and his famous family were sold to a European buyer, after spending 18 months under wraps in the gritty shore city of Asbury Park, New Jersey. The collection was acquired by Henry V. Vaccaro after he payed off a storage and shipping bill owed by the Jackson family to an Oxnard, California warehouse. The unidentified buyer intends to display the collection in Europe and Japan. (UPI Photo/POOL)
