Michael Jackson could be castrated

According to a 1997 Californian law, if Michael Jackson is found guilty of all 10 charges against him, he could be castrated. "In severe cases, one sexual aggression is enough for this law to be applied. Hence, if Michael is found guilty on all charges, he could receive the maximum penalty, of 20 years of imprisonment.

If this regulation is to be applied, after being released he must choose whether he accepts to be castrated or not ", explains a legal expert, quoted by the German newspaper "Bild".

The fifth day of deliberation ended and there's still no verdict in Michael Jackson's trial. The "King of Pop" could face more than 18 years behind bars if he is found guilty of all 10 charges against him.

"This are a very responsible jury, they show up on time, they seem to have no conflicts, they have zero angst," legal analyst Anne Bremner said. "This is an important decision and they know it."
