Michael Jackson has ended his self-imposed exile and set up a new home in America - 19 months after he left following his acquittal on child molestation charges.

MICHAEL JACKSON'S jurors sent the judge a question yesterday as they returned to deliberations in the star's child molestation case after a weekend that saw him make another trip to the hospital.

A subdued Michael Jackson sat silently in court on the eve of closing arguments in his child-molestation trial, well aware that within a matter of days his future will be placed in the hands of a jury.
