Jackson's defence rests case
Published Wednesday, May 25 2005, 19:44 BST | By Daniel Saney
Michael Jackson's defence team has rested its case, nearly four months after the beginning of the star's trial.
The jury heard 50 witnesses testify in Jackson's defence over 15 days, a much shorter period than predicted. The final witness was actor Chris Tucker - Jackson himself was not called upon to testify.
Jackson denies charges of child abuse towards then-13-year-old Gavin Arviso and conspiracy to kidnap his family, holding them against their will.
