Being a wealthy celebrity has its perks, especially when one gets in trouble with the law. The ability to afford some of the best defence attorneys around often leads to a better chance of being acquitted of the crime, even if the evidence leads the celebrity to be found guilty in the court of public opinion. `Rich and Acquitted' tells the stories of several famous people who did just that. The show reveals details about the alleged offences and explains how the powerful attorneys try their cases in the press, hoping to sway potential jurors toward their side before the trials even start. The cases that are featured involve the likes of Michael Jackson, O.J. Simpson and Snoop Dogg.
