Star's health problems continue as trial nears end

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.

The jury sent out the question at 9.50am (2.50pm Irish time), and Judge Rodney S Melville communicated with lawyers about it, said media pool co-ordinator Peter Shaplen.

Neither the question nor the response was released to reporters.
