SANTA MARIA, Calif. - [font=arial][size=-1] A pajama-clad Michael Jackson (news) arrived more than an hour late to his child molestation trial Thursday, but the judge who had threatened to arrest him resumed the case without taking any action against the singer in open court. [/size][/font]
[font=arial][size=-1] The singer’s young accuser returned to the stand for a second day, saying Jackson gave him wine and called it “Jesus juice.” [/size][/font]

[font=arial][size=-1] Superior Court Judge Rodney S. Melville had issued an arrest warrant when Jackson failed to arrive on time, but told defense attorney Thomas Mesereau Jr. he would hold it for one hour. The judge, obviously angry, had also threatened to revoke his $3 million bail. [/size][/font]

[font=arial][size=-1] Mesereau, who told the judge Jackson was being treated for a severe back problem, paced outside court and talked on his cell phone until the singer arrived, a few minutes past the judge’s deadline. [/size][/font]
[font=arial][size=-1] [/size][/font]
[font=arial][size=-1] Jackson walked in gingerly, dressed in a jacket over pajamas and looked distressed. [/size][/font]
[font=arial][size=-1] [/size][/font]
[font=arial][size=-1] Attorneys met with the judge in chambers before court resumed and Melville addressed the jurors, telling them not to draw any negative inferences from the developments. [/size][/font]

[font=arial][size=-1] “Mr. Jackson had a medical problem and it was necessary for me to order his appearance,” Melville said.
