The Ex-Mrs. Jackson

Have you been following the Jackson case this week?

SANTA MARIA, California (CNN) -- Michael Jackson's ex-wife returned to the witness stand Thursday in the pop star's child-molestation trial to testify about the circumstances surrounding an interview she gave boosting the singer's public image.

Jackson's attorneys, however, were attempting to stop Debbie Rowe's testimony and have her previous statements struck.

Court, however, was delayed briefly while prosecutors, defense attorneys and Superior Court Judge Rodney Melville debated a defense motion to strike Rowe's testimony entirely.

"If (the testimony) goes too long, it's hard to undo it," defense attorney Robert Sanger told Melville.

Melville did not rule on the motion, telling Jackson's attorneys it "might be well taken, and it might not ... she barely got started yesterday. I would have to know more."

So basically, if you read the whole article, Michael Jackson's lawyers are trying to have her testimony stricken from the record because she lied in an interview. Why did she lie in the interview? She lied in the interview because Michael Jackson and his handlers pressured her to lie. It reminds me of a scene from Liar Liar...

Fletcher: Your honor, I object!
Judge: Why?
Fletcher: Because it's devastating to my case!
