Jury selection, for the trial of Michael Jackson, concluded yesterday, after only two days. A Superior Court Judge, Rodney Melville, found more than 300 people ready to accept jury service for the Jackson trial. Stage two begins on Monday, when the jury members will be questioned individually by all of the lawyers involved. During the two day jury selection, more than 450 people went before Judge Melville in Santa Barbara, California, closely observed by Jackson and his lawyers. Over 200 people have insisted that they cannot be jurors in this trial. Michael Jackson, who is charged with sexually abusing a minor in his Neverland Estate in 2003, took notes during the proceedings. |
