Microphones found outside sheriff's department
Santa Barbara, California-AP -- Sheriff's officials in Santa Barbara County are wondering if it's an indication of the lengths some people will go to get information on the Michael Jakcson case. Officials say several wireless microphones discovered outside their headquarters could be the latest of several attempts by journalists to surreptitiously get information.
The devices were found in a brushy area where Sheriff's Department employees frequently take breaks and where reporters are not normally allowed.
Meantime, many groups that have long benefited from Jackson's charity work are now reconsidering their affiliations in the wake child molestation allegations.
Still, other organizations are standing by Jackson. Officials in his hometown of Gary, Indiana, are considering putting his name on a new performing arts center.
