Michael Jackson has been ordered to pay $256,000 (£125,000) to the legal team who worked for him during his 2005 trial.

California-based Law firm Ayscough & Marar sued the Thriller singer for failing to pay fees for their legal service - and now a judge has instructed Jacko to dig deep into his pocket for the original $216,837 (£105,971) costs, plus $39,177 (£19,146) in interest charges.

The lengthy trial two years ago saw the 48-year-old star acquitted of the child molestation charges.

After his acquittal, Michael lived in Bahrain and Ireland, but has now returned to the US.
