Jurors Deliberate MARILYN MANSON Case

September 5, 2003

Jury deliberations continue Friday (September 5) in the case of a security guard who accuses shock rocker Marilyn Manson of grinding his hips into the guard's head, according to the Associated Press. A security guard is suing Manson for an incident at Minneapolis' Historic Orpheum Theater in October 2000, when Manson crouched at the end of the stage, pulled the guard's head back toward his crotch and gyrated.

Attorneys for David Diaz, who is seeking more than $75,000, said during closing arguments that publicity from the event has been humiliating. Manson's lawyers say Diaz is a gold-digger and a video after the incident show Diaz smiling and pumping his fist. Manson's counsel also said the incident was just part of the show by Manson, known for his ghastly, cadaverous look and macabre lyrics, and didn't harm Diaz or anyone else.

Diaz's lawyers argue he didn't know what else to do so he went along with the crowd.
