Jackson arrives on time

Michael Jackson managed to arrive at court on time and smiling today, dressed in a red shirt and black suit with the ubiquitous armband.

Michael Jackson managed to arrive at court on time and smiling today, dressed in a red shirt and black suit with the ubiquitous armband.

The pop star looked in slightly better condition as he entered Santa Maria court, California, but was supported by bodyguards as he walked slowly to the door.

His entourage arrived in the rain, shuffling inside under umbrellas.

Jackson, 46, caused a stir yesterday when he arrived late for the second time in two weeks and then proceeded to sob into a wad of tissues in the courtroom.

Despite his dishevelled appearance and apparent pain, Judge Rodney Melville ordered testimony to resume as normal.

Jackson denies molesting 13-year-old Gavin Arvizo, plying him with alcohol and conspiring to hold him and his family captive.
