Victim Banned

The defence team in the Michael Jackson child molestation case want the use of the word "victim" expunged from the trial.

They want the accuser and his family to be referred to in court by their names, or as "complaining witnesses".

The defence also wants the district attorney barred from saying that he represents "the people in a manner that implies that he represents the jury against the defendant."

The motion will be considered at the January 28 hearing.
