Jurors reach verdict in Jackson trial

SANTA MARIA, California (CNN) -- Jurors in the Michael Jackson child molestation trial told the trial judge Monday that they have reached a verdict.

The announcement came after about 32 hours of deliberations.

Earlier Monday jurors requested the continuation of the reading of the teen accuser's lengthy testimony, sources close to the case said. The accuser was on the stand for four days in March.

Meanwhile, attorneys for media outlets, including CNN, filed another motion with the court Monday, demanding access to hearings where the court is answering jurors' questions and requests to listen to the reading of previous testimony.

"Barring the public from these final, pivotal stages of this case is, from a constitutional standpoint, simply intolerable," the media attorneys argued in their motion.

Santa Barbara County Superior Court Judge Rodney Melville has set a hearing for Thursday on a previous request to disclose jury questions and release transcripts of hearings.

Media attorneys have been pressing the judge to move up the hearing's date, arguing that their request will be moot if the jury reaches a verdict first.

Jackson's attorneys have filed a motion opposing the media's request, arguing that providing public access to the jury's questions, and hearings related to them, "would invade the confidentiality of the jury deliberation process and would threaten Mr. Jackson's right to a fair trial."

Sources said Melville and attorneys in the case have met at least three times as jurors deliberated.

The jurors adjourned Friday afternoon, ending six days of discussion on the 10 accusations against the pop star....

That's my thought; but they might have some guilty verdicts on the lesser charges...

BIG_DADDY · 06-13-2005, 01:52 PM

It took the jury longer than I thought. He may have some issues being it took so long. If they got him on the big charge l see a suicide in Michaels future. I hope he doesn't just walk.

Gawd. Watching it on TV. They're going to have doctors and a stretcher standing by, in case he faints if guilty.

You're welcome; I saw it on the net though...gonna turn on the tube now...

I got $10 bucks says he gets off.... no pun intended.

Plus I'm just not convinced he's guilty. Being weird doesn't make you a criminal and there are more holes in the prosecution's case than in the porn industry...as I've said before.

What about the alcohol and porn?

Sleeping with little boys is more than wierd....it's stupid; and as far as I'm concerned, it's criminal....
