Jackson's father, civil rights leader Rev. Jesse Jackson, on Monday said his son remains under "tight medical supervision" and continues struggling with bipolar disorder.
“During this difficult and painful ordeal, our family has felt the impact of your prayers and calls," Rev. Jackson said. "So many ministers have reached out to us, and we thank you. The hurt in this valley is indescribable."

Gimme a break; not buying this bi-polar disorder excuse - the timing and implications are way too convenient. I'm not a medical professional, but do know people who are bi-polar. None of them have required months of in-patient treatment and full time care to manage their condition once it's been diagnosed and medication has been prescribed.
Jr. will testify in court for the first time tomorrow, Wednesday. Word is that prosecutors will recommend between 46 and 57 months jail time, plus fines. I suspect that Jr.'s attorney will use the severity of his bi-polar disorder to try to keep Jr. outta the joint. Should be interesting.
