LOS ANGELES - Michael Jackson has been discharged from a hospital after treatment for flu-like symptoms that delayed jury selection in the singer's child molestation trial.
Jackson was discharged from the Marian Medical Center in Santa Maria, California, late Wednesday, according to the site, MJJSource.com. He was taken to the hospital while on the way to court earlier in the week after vomiting in his car.
Jackson's sudden illness forced Santa Barbara Superior Court Judge Rodney Melville to interrupt jury selection until next week.
Since jury selection began on Jan. 31 in the sensational trial, potential jurors have only been summoned to court on four days. Melville was forced to cancel the proceedings last week after lead Jackson attorney Tom Mesereau's sister died.
Jackson is charged in a 10-count indictment with molesting a then-13-year-old boy at his Neverland Valley Ranch and with conspiring to commit child abduction, false imprisonment and extortion.
