"This is going to be the worst part of the trial, even though he has been concerned about being vilified and the untruths that he has had to sit here and listen to," he said.

Just beat it!

The jurors in the Michael Jackson child abuse case have ended their first hours of deliberations, and now have a weekend break.

Earlier today, the jury heard the closing arguments in the bitter four-month trial.

Jackson, 46, has pleaded not guilty to 10 charges of molesting his teenage accuser in 2003.

You Better Run, You Better Do What You Can.Don't Wanna See No Blood, Don't Be A Macho Man. You Wanna Be Tough, Better Do What You Can. So Beat It, But You Wanna Be Bad.

He faces more than 20 years in prison if he is convicted.

Just Beat It, Beat It, Beat It, Beat It. No One Wants To Be Defeated.

Jackson's spokeswoman Ramone Bain says although the trial itself was difficult, the wait for the verdict will be worse.

"This is going to be the worst part of the trial, even though he has been concerned about being vilified and the untruths that he has had to sit here and listen to," he said.

" This is the hardest part now, the waiting game."

Earlier, Judge Rodney Melville told the eight women and four men of the panel to start their deliberations by selecting a foreperson.

"You are not partisans or advocates in this matter, you are the impartial judges of the facts," he told them.

The trial judge told jurors each one of them must strive to make up their minds, but also warned them not to hesitate to change their opinions if they felt it was right.

They're Out To Get You, Better Leave.While You Can Don't Wanna Be A Boy, You Wanna Be A Man. You Wanna Stay Alive, Better Do What You Can, So Beat It, Just Beat It.

Judge Melville also told Jackson he could remain at his Neverland estate until a verdict is reached.

"Mr Jackson, I have no problem with you being at your residence," he said.

You Have To Show Them That You're Really Not Scared. You're Playin' With Your Life, This Ain't No Truth Or Dare. They'll Kick You, Then They Beat You, Then They'll Tell You It's Fair, So Beat It, But You Wanna Be Bad.

The jury was sent out after prosecutor Ron Zonen wrapped up his rebuttal of the defence closing arguments.

"You just witnessed the seven worst minutes of this young man's life,"

Mr Zonen said after playing a video for jurors of a police interview with Jackson's alleged victim filmed in July 2003.

Jackson's chief defence lawyer earlier urged jurors to acquit the singer, saying the case was built on "lies, innuendo and exaggeration".

After four months of court proceedings, Thomas Mesereau said the family of Jackson's teenage sex accuser were liars and scam artists and that prosecutors had failed to prove the singer's guilt.

He accused prosecutors of telling jurors of alleged previous and uncharged cases of sex abuse by Jackson only to smear the star.

Message From Michael Jackson's Parents/Family:

We wish to thank the fans, for their zealous support for our son. Without the supporting fans, we wouldn't have been able to get through these days, and final days. The parents of Michael wish for all to know, that they appreciated their voices as they leave their vehicles to enter the court. They are pleased to hear the words, "Fight Fight, Michael, Fight." They wish for all the fans -- supporters that come to the court in Santa Maria, to know that they thank you, and that they love you all.
