Actor Todd Bridges, the former star of "Diff'rent Strokes," kisses his mother, Betty, after his acquittal Thursday of charges he shot a drug dealer inside a cocaine "rock" house last year. A Superior Court jury in Los Angeles found Bridges, 24, not guilty of assault charges after a one-week trial. The trial was Bridges' second stemming from the February 1989 shooting. Bridges said he wants to pursue his acting career again and plans to write a book about the case and his drug experiences and turn it into a television movie.
