Prosecutors in the Michael Jackson trial may use adult material, including images of nude children and magazines bearing his and his accuser's fingerprints, as evidence against the pop singer. They may not call it pornography, however.
This was part of a ruling from Judge Rodney S. Melville, who also rejected a request that the 15-year-old accuser's testimony be sealed from reporters and the public, reasoning that he had already appeared in a British documentary.
Jackson's attorney says the sexually explicit materials are legal, and that the magazine bears Jackson's and the boy's prints because Jackson took it away from the boy and locked it up.
