JACKSON CASE ROCKED: JURORS LAUGH, MOCK PROSECUTION WITNESSES
Jurors in the Michael Jackson case were overheard during a break in the trial mocking a 24-year old witness who claimed he was molested by Michael Jackson when he was 7 and 9-years old, sources claim.
Specifically, a Juror was overheard by two reporters [one fron UK's SKY TV] saying, "Oh boo-hooo, Michael Jackson tickled me." That statement was followed by laughter from other Jurors.
The comment was also heard by a bailiff.
Court officials are investigating.
The report was first broadcast on Los Angeles's top-rated radio outlet KFI, by reporter Laura Ingle.
Jurors 8 and 9 have been observed laughing during the latest witness testimony, frequently cupping their mouths and talking during testimony.
