I just hope that, if he's guilty, he doesn't get off on technicalities. We've already lost our faith in the court system, but I hate it when celebs get off because they had good/expensive/celebrity teams of lawyers.

True, especially since he can't be tried again (double jeopardy).

MSNBC has free live video (probably mostly audio, of course) of the reading.

If I read the form correctly, the first verdict to be read will be the conspiracy charge, then the four counts of committing a lewd act upon a child, then the attempt to commit a lewd act upon a child, and finally, the four counts of administering alcohol to a minor during the commission of a felony.

I think the mother of this child should be prosecuted.

From CourtTV.com:

12:54 p.m.

For those of us who couldn't snag a coveted courtroom seat, the press overflow room is the raucous stepchild, where reporters can talk freely and make verdict predictions with impunity. There are about 75 seats in here and more than 100 passes have been given out. Early predictions run the gamut, from acquittal to "two and two" — two molestation and two alcohol convictions. "If he's convicted, that means I get to stay in Santa Barbara," a reporter says, referring to the fact that MJ would likely be remanded if convicted and transferred to the county jail to await sentencing. "I got on this thing just for the chance to stay in Santa Barbara."—Lisa Sweetingham



12:56 p.m. PT


The first adrenaline rush has passed and there's a little bit of calm in the overflow room, where I thumb-tap the 'berry in time with blogstar Lisa Sweetingham to my left. But I digress. This entry is about the mayhem outside the courthouse. Court TV's Stacy Kaspin has the unenviable task of covering the legions of Jackson fans in the hour before his fate is decided. She says the 100+ supporters are surprisingly calm. The street is blocked off, but a crowd of lookie-loos are gathering across Miller Avenue and photographing the madness as it unfolds. Meanwhile, word leaks into the overflow room that Jackson's convoy is driving on the 101 (pictured) on a course for HIStory. —Bryan Lavietes

Again - CourtTV.com:

1:36 p.m. PT

Nine minutes and counting until the verdict is announced about 15 minutes later than previously scheduled since Jackson has not yet arrived at court. Defense lawyer Thomas Mesereau emerges from the courthouse and stands outside, presumably in anticipation of his famous client's arrival.


I just hope he doesn't jump on top of the SUV and dance again.

They're talking about this on the radio. Don't know if it means anything. Interesting.
