E! Entertainment are to show dramatic re-enactments of the Michael Jackson child molestation trial.

It was announced yesterday that E! Entertainment and BSkyB will show re-enactments of the events of the trial. Although cameras are banned from the courtroom, there is no obstacle in the way of showing re-enactments. E! Networks' president and CEO Ted Herbert promises that the series will "bring the trial to life".

There will be five half-hour shows shown throughout the day and there will be one version for Sky News in Britain and another for E! in the US. The E! version will include input from legal analysts and there is also expected to be a Saturday wrap-up show.
