The judge told Jackson he will have one hour to return to court once the verdict is reached. I'm thinking he will have to stay at the courthouse!
Michael isn't IN the courthouse. He was told he could wait for the verdict at Neverland. I don't know if he presence will be required when the verdict is read, but I don't like seeing any leniency given him if he is found guilty on any charges. He has too many friends who will spirit him out of the country and too much money to do it with. He will run run run, creating a cult following to rival D B COOPER.......
There seems to be a question of exactly WHERE Jackson is right now.
