ABC News ^ | 3/10/05

[Semper Paratus]

"Your Honor I have a weak back."

"How long have you had this problem?"

"Oh about a week back."

LOL!

Wow. This judge isn't taking any crap! Maybe he isn't as dazzle by the media lights as judge ito was.

[Popman]

A judge with a backbone

Looks like O.J. Judge Ito could learn something from this judge.

[Aggie Mama]

I wonder if this is going to piss off the jury and make it more likely that they will vote against him?

[nikos1121]

he looked well yesterday...

[demlosers]

Jacko may get to spend the rest of his trial time at the county jail. Ha!

[trisham]

The judge, obviously angry, declared, "I'm issuing a warrant for his arrest. I"m forfeiting his bail. I will hold the order for one hour."

Maybe this is the reason they believed the trial to last 6 months.

[B.O. Plenty]

This is so much fun....what a friggin' freakshow zoo are these people.

[One Proud Dad]

Convict this POS and be done. I cannot take anymore of these celeb trials. I'd like to see that excuse fly at some average Joe Schmuck's trial. I think during a trial all defendents should stay overnight as a guest of the People. That would streamline delays abit and prevent flight when things goes bad.

I always like the release of a convicted wealthy persons pending sentencing and then released again waiting to report for jail duty. BS. If I were ever to be convicted of something I bet your rear I am shipped that same day.

[Reason_and_Logic_Rule]

Just how F*ing Crazy and arrogant can this guy be. To just up and Skip Court on what Is probably going to be the biggest day of the Trial.

[hosepipe]

Here come the judge...
Here come the judge...

Sounds like MJ is trying to miss court like a kid would miss school. I don't feel well. Make the world stop until I'm better. Grow up MJ and face your day in court. The case against you isn't going to go away by playing sick. It will go away when you are either convicted or acquitted.

Look up Rodney S. Melville on Google. He doesn't look like the sort to be trifled with.

CNN is reporting the judge is giving Michael Jackson 1 hour and his attorney is saying Michael is in the hospital with back problems. Maybe his nose fell off again!

[mlbford2]

Jackson said he is paralized from getting dressed to go to court. Who believes this? When was the last time anybody got paralized getting dressed. This is from a guy who does 2hr concerts jumping all around.
