Half Day for Jackson Jurors

Michael Jackson will have to wait at least another day before hearing the jury deliver a verdict in his child molestation trial. Jurors completed their deliberations early Thursday, as some reportedly had to attend graduation ceremonies. This marked the end of the fifth day of deliberations with 22 hours being spent behind closed doors in the Santa Maria courthouse. Long-time Jackson friend and civil rights activist, Rev. Jesse Jackson, told CNN yesterday that he spent an hour with the singer at a local hospital Wednesday night. The pop star was being treated for recurring back spasms and the Reverend described the singer as "kind of ebullient." "I think the pain is subsiding," said Jesse Jackson, "[his] back is getting better." He said the entertainer was in "good spirits" and optimistic about an acquittal.
