LOS ANGELES: The defence in the Michael Jackson child molestation trial rested its case on Wednesday without calling the 46-year-old singer to the stand. Although Mr. Jackson's attorney, Thomas Mesereau, had suggested in his opening statement that the jury would hear from Mr. Jackson in his own words, the nearest the court in Santa Maria came to hearing the singer's version of events was in videotaped out-takes from the Martin Bashir documentary Living with Michael Jackson. The prosecution began its rebuttal of the defence case on Wednesday, a process expected to take less than a day. The defence follows, and closing arguments are expected next week. The jury could begin its deliberations as early as the middle of next week. Rather than Mr. Jackson, the final witness for the defence in the trial, now in its 60th day, was the comedian and actor Chris Tucker. Mr. Tucker testified that he had become friendly with the Arvizo family, the family at the centre of the allegations against Mr Jackson. He had helped them financially, he testified, at one point giving them $1,500. — © Guardian Newspapers Limited 2004
