'Pandas' offer Jackson support

TEN "pandas" showed up outside Michael Jackson's child-sex trial overnight where a whole menagerie has already crept in to the testimony in recent months.

The panda-clad group mingled with hardcore fans cheering Jackson at the court gates as part of a publicity stunt for a local radio station.
They held up a banner that read "We love you Michael", as well as a sign proclaiming "Michael pet me and I loved it" and another that said "Beat it".

Jackson smiled and waved at the panda impersonators as he walked into the court room, where in recent weeks jurors have heard testimony about the chimps, elephants, camels and other animals who keep the singer company at his Neverland estate. Meanwhile, Jackson's lawyers portrayed the mother of his child sex accuser as a liar and a fraudster, as they wound up their defence of the embattled superstar.

Jackson's lawyers called an accountant to analyse the income and expenditure of the mother of Jackson's 13-year-old accuser during the period of the family's alleged captivity at the hands of the self-proclaimed King of Pop.

Jackson's lawyers have painted the woman as a money-grubber with a history of welfare fraud and bilking celebrities who trained her children to lie in a bid to extort the 46-year-old Jackson.

Chartered accountant Mike Radakovich told jurors the boy's mother received a monthly state welfare check of $US769 ($1,019.35) at the time when she was receiving thousands of dollars from Michael Jackson and his associates.

In addition, the woman received more than $US32,000 as a settlement from a civil lawsuit against a department store where she and her children were detained on suspicion of shoplifting.

Failing to report the additional cash revenues amounted to fraud, Mercy Mannriquez of the Department of Social Security, told the court.

"She was getting money under false pretences," legal analyst Jim Moret said.

"She was getting money from her boyfriend, she was getting money from Michael Jackson at the same time as she was getting welfare checks."

The accuser's mother refused to discuss allegations that she engaged in welfare fraud when she took the stand during Jackson's trial, invoking the Fifth Amendment to avoid incriminating herself.

The financial records analysed by Radakovich showed the accuser's mother went on a $US7,000 spending spree at the time when she claims she and her family were held captive by Jackson and his aides in February and March 2003.

During that period, the woman bought clothing, hair products and expensive dinners, while also paying fees for birth certificates, which prosecutor says Jackson and his aides made her request as apart of an alleged plan to take the family to Brazil.

The accountant also pointed to two checks for $US10,000 ($A13,255.57) each that the woman received on behalf of her then cancer-stricken son during the same period about two years ago.

"If the defence can prove she committed welfare fraud, this erodes her credibility," said legal analyst Michael Cardoza, who is following the trial.

The jurors also heard today from Neverland maid Maria Gomez, who described how a sensor-triggered alarm outside Jackson's bedroom sounded as people approached the door.

The defence says the presence of the alarm means the brother of Jackson's accuser could not have surprised the star fondling his alleged child sex victim, as the accuser's brother claimed in his testimony.

US comedian Chris Tucker and television talk show host Jay Leno were expected to be called as some of the final defence witnesses as the celebrity trial draws to a close three weeks after the prosecution rested.

Jackson's lawyers believe testimony from the two celebrities will support their argument that the family of their client's 15-year-old accuser was out to bilk celebrities, including the Thriller star.

Leno is expected to tell the court the accuser, a cancer survivor, and his mother had called him in 2002, one year before the alleged molestation.

Jackson could face up to 20 years behind bars if convicted on all 10 charges against him, including that he abused the boy, plied him with alcohol and held the family captive in order to silence them. Jackson has pleaded innocent to all 10 charges.
