Jury Selected

The jury selection for the Michael Jackson trial interests me as I recently re-read John Grisham's The Runaway Jury. I love how Grisham puts us in the jury room and shows, really, how juries can be controlled and manipulated. My other favorite to read is the play Twelve Angry Jurors. I was selected for jury duty once but excused. Being excused was understandable, but quite dissappointing. I wanted to serve, just to see how it all works. Can you imagine what it would be like to be on the jury for this trial? Or the author dreaming-up the various dramatic bits that may or may not happen?
