Roscoe Arbuckle was acquitted in his third trial after the first two generated hung juries over a period that lasted close to six months. Despite being read a letter of apology by the final jury, along with everyone in the courtroom sincerely wishing Roscoe the best of luck after all was legally said and done, the King of Comedy for all intensive purposes really was dead since one week after being found not guilty Roscoe Arbuckle’s film work would be blacklisted by the newly created Board of Censorship for an entire year afterwards along with  the comedian being banned from any/all employment in the movie industry as an actor. The man truly was sacrificed in a very public execution with his executioners being those who served strictly themselves in the most unjust and blatantly dishonest of ways.
