Well, at least he would know how the process works!

One of the stranger ironies of our times today, Michael Jackson has been summoned to sit on a Jury in California.

Jackson, of course just spent more than a few days recently, personally taking part in the California judicial system. Then he was a defendant instead of a juror, as he successfully had child molestation charges overturned, earning an acquittal after a lengthy and high charged affair.

That trial of Michael Jackson became the gong show of the decade, the most high profile California trial since the OJ days. So one wonders what possessed the California justice system to throw his name into the jury pool, I guess everyone has the right and the duty to serve, but surely having Jackson on a jury would not be conducive to the smooth flow of justice. Also considering the frequency of his legal troubles of late, he probably wouldn't want to be anywhere near a courthouse, just to be on the safe side.

Indeed, the chances of Jackson actually sitting as one of 12 angry men are probably unlikely. His spokesperson says that he is no long living in the USA, having taken up residence in Bahrain. If he can prove legal residence there, the California court system will take him off the jurors list.

Good news for the judicial system, but bad news for the CNN and Fox ratings. Imagine the field day they would have had with Jacko the juror.
