Michael Jackson responds to questioning Tuesday, Dec. 3, 2002, in Santa Maria Superior Court in Santa Maria, Calif., during a $21 million breach-of-contract case. Promoter Marcel Avram is suing Jackson for backing out of performances in Sydney, Australia, and Honolulu on Dec. 31, 1999. The singer maintains that it was Avram who canceled over concerns the shows would not be profitable.
