These jurors at least start at 8:30 am. No way would the courts here have their act together to get started that early. Oh the courts in my area don't get their act together either .. but they jurors still had to be there at 8:30am
There were a few days we sat around till 11:00

"what are the chances that MJ will flee the country. somewhere with no extradition laws and the pheasants all are still wearing "Thriller" t-shirts?"
Pheasants are mighty good eatin', almost as good as quail.

He'll be here until the verdict (or mistrial) is announced but if he's convicted I can guarantee you that there are plans for his immediate flight to a non-extradition country of his choice.
Michael won't commit suicide...noooo. All the vanity that went into carving up that face...no way. He will run though. He has had plenty of time to stash the cash and make the plans. If he is convicted the lawyers will make a deal with the count that he will surrender to authorites on a certain day and he will disappear that night. I'm telling you the plans have been in effect since the beginning of this trial, maybe before.
That being said, I don't think he will be convicted. Remember OJ, we thought that there wasn't any doubt in that. Well, the defense has produced plenty of doubt in this one. I think the jury is mulling over the alcohol charges and some other minor things. He won't do a day in the slammer. He'll 'moonwalk' out of that courtroom.

He's still around. I heard on the news on the radio this morning that police are constantly tailing him and keeping an eye on his plane (just in case). Actually, they're trailing Latoya. They did a switcheroo.

(AP) Pop star Michael Jackson leaves the Santa Barbara County Courthouse on May 12, 2005 in Santa Maria,...
Full Image
SANTA MARIA, Calif. (AP) - A controversy over the gag order in the Michael Jackson case erupted Wednesday when Jackson's spokeswoman held a press conference and said it had been approved by his attorney. The attorney quickly responded, saying no one had been authorized to hold news conferences on Jackson's behalf.
The development came as the jurors in Jackson's molestation trial wrapped up their third full day of deliberations. The statement from attorney Thomas Mesereau Jr. appeared aimed at assuring the court that his defense team had not violated the gag order.

2:30pm, why does the jury end deliberations so early?
That was the court schedule wasn't it?..... Six hours with three 10 minute breaks and then go home.

Surely you're not suggesting that the jurors watched television? No, you can't possbily be suggesting that!

"I think the jury is mulling over the alcohol charges and some other minor things."
Actually I think they have already gotten the alcohol charges over with and are focusing on the major things -molestation charges and conspiracy. I say he is convicted on the molestation charges. Not sure about conspiracy. They may shock everyone and convict him on that too.
To: somerville
Didn't the OJ jury return a verdict in less than an hour ?
The OJ trial was such a joke (the police and the prosecution thouroughly screwed up any chance of getting a conviction) and the 6 month(?) ordeal had gone on for so long the jurors just wanted out of there and back to their "normal" lives.
I believe OJ was guilty, but if I was sitting on that jury, given the amount of time and incompentence the judge and attorney's had displayed. I'd vote anyway to get me home to a home cooked dinner.

Could someone please explain why the Jacksons would use a 'family spokesperson' with such an obvious lisp and lack of mental facilities?

If so, then the jury will have done a very bad job. The wackjob mother alone is reasonable doubt. I'm not saying Jacko isn't a molester, but this trial sure didn't prove it beyond a reasonable doubt.

Maybe she's a fake - no one hired her, just showed up and said she was.

They also can't pay them to stay after 2:30 or 3 either. That's why the short hours.

And yet she just sent a statement to Dan Abrams saying that that statement doesn't apply to HER.
Wonder if they mean Jesse?

At tradesports.com, the price of a contract for Jackson being found guilty of at least one count of intoxicating a minor is trading at about $0.665. A contract for him being found guilty of at least one count of committing a lewd or lascivious act against a minor is at $0.470. Both contracts are falling in price right now. It doesn't look good for Whacko Jacko.
