In yet another case of former pal turned accuser, the chimpanzee who shared Michael Jackson's bed and life those many years ago will be escorted to the courtroom and lead to the dock to testify against the Wierd One.

Jackson's former little buddy, "Bubbles," is expected to deliver damning evidence against the singer who once croned "Billie Jean is not my lover, she's just a girl . . ." (Was Jacko trying to tell us something?)
But seriously, folks . . . the circus -- I mean, the child molestation case against the "Bad" singer got underway with opening statements Monday. The District Attorney told the jury that "The private world of Michael Jackson, instead of bedtime books and discussions of Peter Pan ... he's talking to them about masturbation," referring to the 15-year-old accuser who was just ten when he met Jacko. He went on to say that Jackson had gotten the little dude drunk on "Jesus juice" and groped him, and furthermore, that one of Jackson's thugs threatened to kill the accuser's mom if the boy told anyone.
, The prosecutor went on to say that the world of Jackson was not about "cookies and milk" as Jackson had described on the now infamous Martin Bashir British TV documentary, but was about "wine, vodka and bourbon" and the trial will expose, once and for all, a world of "child molestation."
Charges against Jackson and five co-conspirators -- who have not been indicted -- were read in court. All five of the co-conspirators are employees of Jackson. In the indictment, 28 acts were allegedly committed in the conspiracy to keep the molestation a secret.
Jackson has pleaded "not guilty" to charges of: child molestation, administering an intoxicating agent, and conspiring to commit child abduction, false imprisonment and extortion. If he is found guilty of all 10 charges, he faces more than 20 years in prison.
