Good grief. A dream jury for Jackson.
Thanks for those mini-bios.......entirely too many connections to MJ imo. Not one juror could give a specific piece of evidence that convinced them to vote not guilty. But they "worked hard". Billie Jeff used to say that too.
No wonder Jackson and his lawyer wanted this jury..
That post about the bios of the jury explains the verdict better than anything they could say.
Wow........you win a case on jury selection.
And these are considered a "jury of his peers?" I think not.
