Judge Bars Photos Of Michael Jackson Genitalia

The Associated Press reports that the judge in the Michael Jackson molestation trial Thursday spared jurors from seeing a graphic piece of evidence when he barred prosecutors from showing photographs of the pop star’s genitalia. In another ruling, the judge said prosecutors can play a videotape of the accuser’s original police interview in 2003 in a bid to show that the boy’s story has been consistent. Defense lawyers said that if the prosecution shows the tape, the defense would want to call the boy back for questioning. They also may call the boy’s mother.
