Has been pleaded not guilty to the child molestation charge doesn't mean everything is over. Instead, the case that once seized worldwide attention has brought Michael Jackson to another legal wrangling.

The King of Pop is sued by Martin Dinnes, owner of Dinnes Memorial Veterinary Hospital, for $91,602 in unpaid bills. The veterinarian claimed Jacko owes that amount to him as payment for helping him obtain many of his exotic pets at his Neverland ranch while he was being acquitted of child molestation charges last June.
