I thought that had already been established.

He probably just got a little upset tummy knowing that he could end up in jail, and have to leave never-never land.

Re: Mikey in hospital

Me thinks Mark is onto something here.<br />Me thinks Mikey don't like the idea of this jury trial and he is just stalling.

Updated: 12:56 p.m. ET Feb. 15, 2005SANTA MARIA, Calif. <br /><br />Michael Jackson was taken to a hospital Tuesday and was admitted with a severe case of the flu, according to NBC News.<br /><br />Judge Rodney Melville suspended jury selection until Feb. 22 to give the singer time to recuperate from his illness. <br /><br />Jackson was on his way to court when he was taken to the hospital emergency room instead. Jackson's attorney, Thomas Mesereau, told NBC's Mike Taibbi that Jackson is "very, very ill." Jackson reportedly was ill Monday and his condition worsening on the way to court Tuesday morning.<br /><br />On Monday, questioning of jurors got under way, and Jackson’s lawyers announced they may call Elizabeth Taylor, Jay Leno, Quincy Jones and Kobe Bryant to the witness stand.<br /><br />The list of possible witnesses sounded like coming attractions for a major Hollywood spectacle. But Melville dimmed that prospect, saying not all of the celebrities would necessarily testify.<br /><br />Attorneys are in the process of selecting 12 jurors and eight alternates who will decide whether Jackson molested a teenage cancer patient at his Neverland Ranch and plied the youth with alcohol.<br /><br />During Monday’s proceedings, Jackson smiled and nodded at potential jurors. At one point he picked roughly at a fingernail, and later wrapped it in a napkin.<br /><br />Names of defense and prosecution witnesses were revealed to prospective jurors Monday so attorneys could find out if any of the more than 240 members of the pool had associations that may be important in jury selection.

Re: Mikey in hospital

Oh, the plot thickens. This just in.<br />________________________________________________<br />* A California cop who moonlighted as a Neverland Ranch security guard told of seeing a written directive ordering that the accuser not be allowed to leave the 2800-acre property. The directive, posted in the estate's security office, came during the period in which investigators allege the boy and his family were imprisoned at Jackson's estate.<br />________________________________________________<br />* An ex-bodyguard who testified that his job was to shadow Jackson 24 hours a day, said that one afternoon he discovered the teenage accuser drunk. When he confronted the boy and told him he should not be imbibing, the child replied, "Well, I can handle it. Michael said if I can handle it, it's okay. It's part of being a man." Jackson has been charged with four felony counts of providing booze to the accuser, a cancer survivor who lost his spleen and a kidney to the disease.<br />________________________________________________<br />* Jackson's former house manager testified that the accuser and his family were held against their will at Neverland and that two of the singer's top aides told him that the boy's mother "wasn't allowed to leave the property." He also noted that the alleged victim and his brother, then 11, slept almost every night with Jackson in the singer's bedroom.<br /><br />And it get's better.

Re: Mikey in hospital

rodbolt, my above statements comes from the sealed documents from the Grand Jury that handed down the indictment.<br /><br />Pretty cut and dry to me.

Re: Mikey in hospital

a grand jury is not a trail. it has no cross examination. so it cant be cut and dried until the judge bangs the gavel. would not be the first time a grand jury was dead wrong. in fact there have been a few convicts "smoked" and after death the grand jury,jury,prosecution and trial judge found out they were wrong, I dont trust just a grandjury cause there is no defense.<br />but I could not be on the jury cause I already think he is guilty. however I hope he gets a fair trial before the hanging.
