Jacko and family all in white for crucial court hearing

Fans of Michael Jackson erupted in cheers today as the pop star emerged from a double-decker tour bus and went into a California court for a showdown with the prosecutor who has pursued him for years on child molestation charges.

Jackson, wearing a white suit with a mustard yellow armband, entered the Santa Maria court with several family members, also dressed in white. A bodyguard held a black umbrella over the singer, who flashed a peace sign to the crowd.
