 LOS ANGELES (M. Jackson Fans Fans Website) - Michael Jackson's trial will not begin until January, 2005, a California judge ruled yesterday. The delay comes at the request of the pop star's defense team. Prosecutors outlined their case at a pretrial hearing yesterday. In a move that surprised many legal experts, the prosecution seems to be focusing less on the child molestation accusations and more on their allegations that the victim's family were virtually imprisoned by Jackson and his entourage at Neverland ranch. An attorney for Jackson told reporters that the case would be, "laughed out of court by a jury."
