We were broken and Michael fixed us.\"\u003cbr/\u003eAs the pop star left court for the weekend after the trial''s first week of testimony, he told reporters: \"It went very good, very good.\"\u003cbr/\u003eWhen asked about Michael Jackson''s mood, Jackson family spokesperson said that \"right now his mood is good\".\u003cbr/\u003eThe video was played during testimony by the accuser''s 18-year-old sister, who told jurors on Thursday that Jackson''s associates had the family make the tape. \u003cbr/\u003eIt was made about two weeks after a 2003 TV documentary in which her brother appeared with Jackson, who said he allowed the boy to sleep in his\u003cbr/\u003ebed while he slept on the floor.\u003cbr/\u003eDuring cross-examination intended to call the credibility of the accuser''s family into question, the witness acknowledged accusing her father, who is\u003cbr/\u003edivorced from her mother, of sexually abusing and imprisoning her and of making terrorist threats.\u003cbr/\u003eJackson attorney Thomas Mesereau Jr. asked the young woman if she had once told police she was being abused by her father five times a week, and she answered, \"We were abused every day.\"\u003cbr/\u003eShe said she learned she had been sexually abused when her mother blurted out the accusation in a conversation with her father.\u003cbr/\u003eMesereau asked if the father appeared to agree with the accusation, and she said yes.\u003cbr/\u003eIn the video, the sister was seen with tears streaming down her face and saying of Jackson: \"He''s a very caring, humble man. He took us under his\u003cbr/\u003ewing when no one else would.\"\u003cbr/\u003eShe spoke of her brother''s affliction with cancer and that Jackson \"helped him so much\".\u003cbr/\u003eThe boy at one point said that he asked Jackson: \"Can I call you daddy?\" and that Jackson said that was fine.\u003cbr/\u003eThe boy''s mother delivered a dramatic and seemingly heartfelt tribute to a man she said \"made us his family.\"\u003cbr/\u003eOff camera, an interviewer asked the family questions and suggested that they say things about Jackson.\u003cbr/\u003eThe video, which lasted more than an hour, was played in a hushed courtroom where Jackson''s mother, Katherine, sat dabbing at her eyes with a\u003cbr/\u003etissue and his sister LaToya and brother Jackie sat beside her.\u003cbr/\u003eJurors watched intently and some of them took notes.\u003cbr/\u003eIn the video, the boy who is now accusing Jackson gave him credit for helping to cure his cancer.\u003cbr/\u003e\"We were driving up the hill and he told me, ''You need to get better.'' He told me, ''You need to eat up all those cancer cells like Pac-Man.'' I never\u003cbr/\u003eforgot that,\" the boy said.\u003cbr/\u003eThe mother also talks on the video about Martin Bashir, the British journalist who made the documentary. \u003cbr/\u003e\"He took a beautiful relationship and spun it out of control. God works through people and so does the devil,\" she said.\u003cbr/\u003eBut when Mesereau questioned the sister on the stand, she insisted that no one in her family had ever seen the documentary.\u003cbr/\u003eThe sister said the video of her family had a script. \u003cbr/\u003eWhen Mesereau asked her if everything on the tape had been memorised, she said: \"Not everything.\"\u003cbr/\u003eMesereau also questioned her about her earlier testimony that while at Neverland she saw Jackson pour wine for her brothers and others, including\u003cbr/\u003eher. \u003cbr/\u003eHe noted that she had told sheriff''s investigators she believed it was wine because they were in a wine cellar but did not see Jackson pouring it or\u003cbr/\u003edrink any herself.\u003cbr/\u003e\"I was young back then,\" she said. \"I didn''t know I had to say every little detail for it to be right.\"\u003cbr/\u003eMesereau noted that she mentioned being young several times and inquired if someone told her to say that if she was stuck on a defence question. \u003cbr/\u003eShe said no.\u003cbr/\u003e\"Did you ever use that stock phrase when answering any of the prosecution''s questions?\" he asked.\u003cbr/\u003e\"Nobody told me what to say. What I say is for me,\" she said.\u003cbr/\u003eJackson is charged with molesting the girl''s then 13-year-old brother at his ranch in central California and plying the boy with alcohol.
