Jurors in the Michael Jackson child molestation trial Tuesday watched the TV documentary that sparked the case, seeing the pop star hold hands with his accuser and talk about hosting sleepovers with children at his Neverland Ranch.

The documentary "Living With Michael Jackson" was shown after defense attorney Thomas Mesereau Jr. finished an opening statement in which he suggested the entertainer may testify and said authorities found no DNA evidence in the entertainer's bedroom to support the charges. Jackson is not on the defense witness list.

As the jurors watched on a large screen in the hushed courtroom, some leaned forward in their seats, a few smiled or laughed when Jackson said humorous things, and a few bobbed their heads along with Jackson's music. Some smiled when the video showed Jackson singing "smile while your heart is breaking" as he left a hotel.

When the boy says that Jackson once told him and his brother, "If you love me you'll sleep in the bed," Jackson tells the interviewer that the children slept in his bed and he slept on the floor in a sleeping bag.

2. I don't want to know about it. I don't want to think about it.

I don't even want to hear rumors about it.

That's why I'm here.

You might want to try the Michael Jackson board.

3. In a nation in which "our" leader....

...or should I use the German term "Fuhrer" has murdered over 100,000 innocent civilians in an unjustifiable war, well lets just say, I think we have bigger fish to fry....
