I Meanwhile, Lorena Bobbitt be-

Friday of malicious wounding by
reason of insanity.
I "1 was shocked, and I turned to
By mother and said, 'What, she

|Be verdict.
B "I believe there's not one shred
on truth that came out of her or her
witnesses/' Bobbitt said in the in
kier view with the syndicated televi
sion show "American Journal" to
be broadcast Tuesday.
B Testimony from Mrs. Bobbitt's
friends, neighbors and co-workers
described abuse they said Bobbitt
inflicted during the couple's four-
year marriage. Mrs. Bobbitt's
lawyers argued the abuse drove
her to mental illness.
Bobbitt, 26, denied ever ever
striking or raping his wife. He was
acquitted of marital sexual assault
at a separate trial last November.
Beatrice Williams, 21, who lives
on the Tuscarora Indian Reserva

paternity lawsuit against Bobbitt
seeking child support for her 1-

filed for bankruptcy, according to
his lawyer.
Williams and her baby also un
derwent blood tests at the office of
her attorney, William Berard III.
Neither Williams nor Bobbitt
would comment after taking the
blood tests.
The results of the blood test,
which will compare DNA samples
from Bobbitt, Williams and the
baby, were expected in three to
four weeks.
Mrs. Bobbitt, 24, will be eval
uated by staff at the Central
State Hospital in Petersburg, Va.,
who will help determine
whether she should stay hospi
talized or be released.

Michael Jackson settles molestation lawsuit
The Associated Press
SANTA MONICA, Calif.-
Without admitting guilt, Michael
Jackson settled a lawsuit that said
he molested a young boy. Terms of
the settlement left the boy "very
happy," the youngster's attorney
said Tuesday.
Various reports put the settle
ment at least $10 million.
l am very happy with the reso
lution of this matter," said Larry
Hdman, attorney for the boy, now
—•''14 The boy, Feldman told re-
B Mrters, was also "very happy with
i B resolution of this matter."
KThe settlement probably would
end the criminal investigation, ex
perts said.
Feldman and Jackson attorneys
Johnnie Cochran and Howard
Weitzman said terms of the settle
ment were confidential. The three
attorneys met privately in the
chambers of Superior Court Judge
David Rothman before the an
nouncement.
Before the hearing, a source
close to the case said the settlement
was "in eight figures." The source
spoke on condition of anonymity.
A joint statement from Weitz
man and Cochran, and read by
Cochran, maintained Jackson's in
nocence.
"Michael Jackson has main
tained his innocence since the be
ginning of this matter and now,
since this matter will soon be con
cluded, he still maintains that inno
cence," the statement said.
"The resolution of this case is in
no way an admission of guilt by
Michael Jackson. In short, he is an
innocent man who does not intend
to have his career and his life de
stroyed by rumors and innuendo,"
it said.
The lawsuit filed in September
alleged that Jackson, 35, committed
sexual battery, seduction, willful
misconduct, intentional infliction of
emotional distress, fraud and negli
gence in a campaign to entice the
boy last year.
