He was found not guilty at the third trial where the last witness backed down from telling what Virginia Rappe had told her in the hospital, "Roscoe hurt me." There were originally five of these witnesses in the first trial but they all got paid off/convinced not to testify. Hollywood protected Arbuckle, because of course they had to, but he never worked there again.

Did you do some research? Are you sticking with that story? If “Hollywood” was protecting him it would have been during the first trial. If your story were true “Hollywood” would have written him off before a third trial.
