10-1 says they acquit him.
On cnn.com, there was a report vaguely describing all of the jurors on the Michael Jackson’s case. Although the information was limited, I am certain that I could identify at least one of them with some due diligence. However, the real issue is that many jurors don’t quite seem like regular, indifferent people. There are also several elderly people and non-native English speakers that might have problems seeing through some of the technicalities and lawyer mumbo-jumbo. Here are some things I thought were notable about the jurors (there are 12 jurors, but their numbers are random).
Juror #66 believes that "Parents can be very influential" on a child’s testimony.”
Juror #151's first language is Indonesian.
Juror #101 is a 21-year-old paraplegic who visited Neverland ranch in 6th grade. He believes Jackson has been mistreated by too much media coverage. He loves children, but they do tend to lie.
Juror #77 called Michael Jackson a "great entertainer."
Juror #153 says his brother-in-law's sister works for Jackson's doctor and that she and her daughter know Jackson.
Juror #88’s first language is Spanish.
Juror #100 is a 79-year-old great grand mother
Juror #108 called Jackson a "wonderful" entertainer
Juror #157 she said her aunt visited Neverland about three years ago
That 9 out of 12 that may have some bias. Should all the jurors’ profile say, “regular person, thinks Jackson is ok, but doesn’t follow what the media says about him. Has never met Michael Jackson or anything associated with him. Believes that some children, just like adults, may not always be truthful.” There weren’t 12 people like that in all of Santa Barbara County. They actually had to choose someone that visited Neverland as a kid.
