Earlier this year Joe Jackson's nephew Trent Jackson was accused of abusing Katherine Jackson, who he has been caring for since Michael Jackson's death [click here if you missed that].
The case has been thrown out...
According to reports the case was dismissed this week after Katherine's attorneys admitted she was unaware seeking a restraining order against Trent would trigger a full blown trial and that she was unprepared to move forward at this time.
In the end the judge refused to dismiss the case without prejudice, meaning she cannot refile.
