The defense was successful in portraying Michael Jackson favorably to the jury in several ways:
1) They dressed Jackson in ornate costumes that conveyed images of purity, innocence, and humility.
2) Jackson was shown entering the courtroom as if on a red carpet, emphasizing his celebrity status.
3) Jackson appeared vulnerable, childlike, and in declining health during the trial, eliciting sympathy from jurors.
4) Defense attorney Tom Mesereau effectively presented a coherent narrative of Jackson as a victim and portrayed Neverland as a place of refuge, undermining the prosecution's arguments.
Michael Jackson was born in 1958 in Gary, Indiana and rose to fame in the 1960s as the lead singer of The Jackson 5, topping music charts in the 1970s.

4) Many prosecution witnesses were not credible due to prior lawsuits against Jackson, debts owed to him, or having been fired by him. Several witnesses even took the Fifth Amendment.

This document summarizes a course on web design that was piloted in the summer of 2003. The course was a 3 credit course that met 4 times a week for lectures and labs. It covered topics such as XHTML, CSS, JavaScript, Photoshop, and building a basic website. 18 students from various majors enrolled. Student and instructor evaluations found the course to be very successful overall, though some improvements were suggested like ensuring proper software and pairing programming/non-programming students.
