Jackson jury begins week 2 of deliberations - CNN
A Michael Jackson fan walks in front of the singer's Neverland ranch Sunday in Los Olivos, California.
My list of banned words from my vocabulary now includes "charming." Others there are "diversity" and "paradigm".
Where have ya been?
I pinged you last week about the jurors readbacks.
It was news! LOL
No problem.. it was too funny.
I heard the funniest thing on Fox News.
German & British MJ fans are fighting over "who is the biggest fan" and it is "getting ugly". I can only imagine the calamity of dueling Jackson fans and pray they get it on video.

Jacko's Publicist Gets the Boot
Michael Jackson's publicist, Raymone K. Bain, has left the building. She checked out of the Santa Maria Holiday Inn at 3 a.m. Sunday morning and headed to LAX for a flight back to Washington, D.C.
Bain was dismissed by Jackson's camp via a Web site message on Friday evening, followed by letter delivered to her room.
According to sources, she was never able to reach the singer to confirm her firing, which was executed by Jackson's brother Randy Jackson.
There is no word on who will represent Jackson when more than 2,000 journalists show up Monday morning at court while the jury continues deliberations.
Some people speculate that Debra Opri, an unpaid attorney who makes statements for Jackson's parents Katherine and Joseph, could be next in a long line of misinformed spokespeople. The name Bubbles the Chimp has also been mentioned.

weekend holiday
LOL!
...and hope the jurors see it! (shame on me)
There is so much wrong with that picture, starting with the cops. No self-respecting California cop would wear such dumb looking uniforms. He would go to a Santa Barbara County facility first, before transfer to a prison. Certainly not Los Angeles (either county or city).
Cute concept though.
They have to be there for read backs and"sources" say they are doing readbacks of the victim's testimony...MJ can choose whether to be there or not for readbacks.
I know this is a reading the tealeaves sort of thing but does anyone have an opinion as to how the readback of the victim's testimony favors either side? Just curious and waiting like everyone else.
Jackson and his inner circle checked into the posh Santa Ynez Inn on Friday. They remain there today.
Jackson is also said to have made an appearance on Sunday with his mother, Katherine Jackson, at her local church.
This would indicate that, at least for the moment, the singer is re-embracing the values of the Jehovah's Witnesses, even though he's publicly separated himself from the denomination in the past.
But what Jackson mostly did over the weekend was to hide from taking responsibility for the dismissal of his publicist, Raymone K. Bain.
Over the weekend, Jackson was happy to let his younger brother Randy Jackson take the flak for putting Bain's firing on his own Web site.
Randy was happy to accept credit (if that's what you call it) for giving Bain the boot. But insiders say Jackson knew what was going on, and, in his usual cowardly way, let Randy do the dirty work.
This would be consistent with the way Randy and Michael have conducted business for the last year or more.
They fired Michael's longtime publicist Bob Jones in the same manner. The result was a devastating book Jones has written that rips the veil off of Jackson's strange life.
The Jacksons are not noted for loyalty.
