More than a year after pop singer Michael Jackson was acquitted of all charges in the child-molestation case against him, 17 previously sealed documents from his case have been made public.

The documents, of varying lengths, were posted late Monday on a Web page run by the Santa Barbara Superior Courts. The page can be accessed Here.

The documents revolve around motions filed by attorneys in the case in December 2004 and January 2005 . There are responses to motions filed by attorneys in the case, and even replies to responses to motions.

“We had boxes of stuff that was previously sealed,” said Darrel Parker, assistant trial courts executive officer. “I believe there are still more documents that will come out.”

Parker said some previously sealed documents in the case already have been made public, and that the documents are being released as they are sorted through.

“They’ve been trickling out,” he said.

Parker said that special precautions were taken in the high profile case, such as sealing documents that could have prejudiced the trial and not allowing cameras in the courtroom.

“A good deal of the pleadings were sealed and/or redacted,” he said.
