Jurors in the Michael Jackson child abuse trial will have to decide whether his teenage accuser is a credible witness after viewing the boy’s videotaped testimony.

Michael Jackson tried to close the door on a 1993 claim of child molestation when he paid millions to a young accuser, but a court hearing in his current trial could resurrect those allegations.

WAVING to fans and flashing a V for victory sign, Michael Jackson returned to court yesterday for a second day of jury selection in his child molestation case, a process complicated by the expected length of the trial and the pop star’s fame.

AN Irishman accused of throwing a fellow partygoer over the railings of a ‘booze cruise’ ship in the US remained in jail last night after bail was set at $5m.
