SANTA MARIA, Calif. - With a sea of cameras and fans
outside the courthouse, Michael Jackson pleaded innocent
Friday to child-molestation charges that could send him to
prison - and was scolded by the judge for being 21 minutes
late for his first court appearance
"Mr. Jackson, you have started out on the wrong foot
here. ... I want to advise you that I will not put up with
that. It's an insult to the court," Superior Court Judge
Rodney S. Melville told him.
Jackson nodded when asked if he understood the charges and
said "not guilty" when asked for his plea.
Minutes earlier, hundreds of cheering and chanting fans
had greeted Jackson's arrival, pushing in toward his
caravan along with international television crews as the
self-styled "King of Pop" stepped from a black sport
utility vehicle and into the shade of a black umbrella.
Wearing a dark suit, glittery shoes and big sunglasses,
Jackson shook hands with fans and waved as he slowly made
his way into the courthouse accompanied by his attorney,
Mark Geragos.
Inside, security ran a metal detector wand over the singer
before allowing him into the courtroom. His parents,
brother Jermaine and sister Janet also attended the
hearing.
The judge also scheduled a Feb. 13 court session to set a
date for a preliminary hearing, the proceeding used to
determine whether there is enough evidence to hold Jackson
for trial.
Santa Barbara County District Attorney Tom Sneddon
pointedly asked, "Judge will that be 8:30?" clearly
referring to Jackson's tardiness. The judge
responded, "8:30."
Horde of fans and media
The arraignment was Jackson's first court appearance since
being charged Dec. 18. It drew a horde of news media and
fans to the usually quiet Santa Maria Valley in Santa
Barbara County, where the pop star is alleged to have
committed the crimes at his Neverland Ranch.
Hundreds of fans were bused in from Los Angeles and Las
Vegas to show their support for Jackson in what was dubbed
a "Caravan of Love." Some sang as they waited for him to
arrive and waved signs reading "Stay Strong Michael"
and "We Believe In Michael Jackson. Leave Him Alone."
"There's strength in numbers," said supporter Amber
McCrary, 26, who boarded a bus in a suburban Los Angeles
Kmart parking lot with her two small children, ages 2 and
4, to be at the courthouse.

Michael Jackson's sing "I'll Be There" in support of the
entertainer as they wait outside the Santa Maria, Calif.,
courthouse early Friday morning.
-----------------------------------------------------------
---------------------
Jackson, 45, was charged with seven counts of lewd acts
with a child under 14 and two counts of giving the child
an "intoxicating agent," reportedly wine, between Feb. 7
and March 10, 2003.
Authorities did not identify the alleged victim, but
sources close to those involved have said he is a now-
teenage cancer patient who appeared in a documentary
broadcast in February that showed Jackson talking about
sleepovers with children at Neverland.
Jackson defended the sleepovers in a recent interview on
CBS' "60 Minutes."
"People think sex," Jackson said. "They're thinking sex.
My mind doesn't run that way. When I see children, I see
the face of God. That's why I love them so much."
The documentary, "Living With Michael Jackson," raised
anew questions about the sleepovers that had lingered
since molestation allegations against Jackson were
investigated in 1993. No charges were filed in that case,
but Jackson reportedly paid a multimillion-dollar
settlement to a boy's family.
Jackson said in the documentary that his practice of
allowing children to sleep in his bed was non-sexual.
The singer had been introduced to the boy by Jamie Masada,
a comedy club owner who runs a children's camp. Masada
told the singer that a child hospitalized with cancer
wanted to meet him, and Jackson obliged, forming a
relationship with the boy and his mother.
What happened to that relationship in the past year has
remained in dispute.
Changes in relationship
Sources close to Jackson's defense have alleged that it
soured when the mother demanded a fee for her son's
appearance in the documentary and Jackson refused. But
those close to the mother claim there was no demand,
rather that Jackson began acting strangely and barred them
from Neverland.
Ultimately, both Jackson and the mother obtained lawyers.
The mother went to the same attorney who was involved in
the 1993 allegations against Jackson and told him she
thought her son had been molested and had been given wine
by the pop star, sources have said.
The lawyer advised her to have the boy see a psychologist,
who went to authorities under a legal requirement to
report any claims of child molestation, sources said.
Separately, the documentary prompted a school
administrator to complain to a hot line, triggering a Feb.
14-27 probe of Jackson's relationship with the boy by Los
Angeles County child welfare officials. A leaked memo said
the boy, his siblings and mother told those officials
nothing inappropriate occurred. Santa Barbara County's top
prosecutor dismissed that probe as "interviews, not an
investigation."
The scene outside the courthouse Friday was reminiscent of
the O.J. Simpson murder trial which became a blueprint for
the celebrity trial.
Although small compared to Simpson's "dream team,"
Jackson's defense expanded Thursday with the addition of
New York attorney Benjamin Brafman, a principal of the
firm that won acquittal for Sean "P. Diddy" Combs on
bribery and weapons charges in 2001.
Melanie Dowland, a 28-year-old Jackson fan, said she
traveled all the way from London to support Jackson at his
arraignment.
"I campaign for everything I believe in," Dowland
said. "And I believe in Michael. He stands for so much -
all the goodness in the world and innocence
