Pop star Michael Jackson leaves the Santa Barbara County courthouse with his mother, Katherine, 03 June, 2005, in Santa Maria, California as jury deliberations begin. The jury in Jackson's child sex trial went out to begin considering whether the pop icon is guilty of 10 charges that could see him jailed for more than 18 years. Judge Rodney Melville told the eight women and four men of the panel to start deliberations by selecting a foreperson and then to begin considering the evidence in a bid to reach a verdict on each charge.
