Feb 1, 2005 7:14 am US/Pacific SANTA MARIA, Calif.(AP)Michael Jackson and hundreds of potential jurors arrived at court Tuesday for the second day of jury selection in his child molestation trial.
Jackson, wearing a black suit with a gold and red stripe down the pants and an insignia on the left side of the jacket, arrived in a three-vehicle motorcade escorted by motorcycle police.
He made his way into the courtroom where Santa Barbara County Superior Court Judge Rodney S. Melville was to continue questioning prospects about their willingness to serve on the jury.
About 300 people were called Monday, another 300 were summoned Tuesday. During Monday's search for jurors, the singer, his lawyers, and prosecutors remained silent as Melville asked questions.
By the end of the Monday, Melville had listened to 138 people ask to be excused, but the only person he dismissed immediately was a woman who was eight months pregnant.
"That's OK, first one that got deferred," the judge said to applause.
About 150 potential jurors have been ordered to appear Wednesday.
Jury prospects who are not immediately excused fill out questionnaires that will be studied by attorneys before individual questioning later. Besides 12 jurors, Melville wants eight alternates.
The number of fans supporting Jackson outside the courthouse dwindled Tuesday to fewer than 100.
Security fences kept order, unlike a year ago at Jackson's arraignment when 1,500 or more watched the pop star dance on an SUV and surged after his vehicle as he motored away.
On Monday, supporters held signs that read, "Dear God, Please Give Michael Justice" and "Smooth But Not a Smooth Criminal," fans sang along with a Jackson song that derides the prosecutor in the case as a "cold man."
The target of their ire, Santa Barbara County District Attorney Tom Sneddon, did not come to court. A deputy represented the prosecution.
Jackson, 46, is charged with molesting a teenage boy and plying him with alcohol at his Neverland Ranch. He also is accused of conspiring to hold the boy and his family captive. Early Sunday, Jackson issued a court-approved video statement on his Web site, proclaiming his innocence and predicting he would be acquitted.
Melville told prospective jurors they might have to serve for about six months, and that it was an important duty.
"Most of us have relatives who have fought and died to protect this system," Melville said Monday. "Freedom is not free. Jury duty is part of the cost of freedom."
Monday's jury pool was predominantly white. About a quarter appeared to be Hispanic, and only a few were black.
One of the black men in the pool told the judge he was unemployed and "six months will affect my future. I think I should worry about myself and not the defendant."
A white man said during a stint in jail he got into a dispute between a black prisoner and a white prisoner and had been branded a racist, even though he was not.
Another man who had been convicted of an undisclosed crime said he was on an electronic monitor and confined to his home. Melville ordered the man to remain in the jury pool and said he would inform those monitoring him.
Another prospect said he is chief launch coordinator at nearby Vandenberg Air Force Base. He said he has two launches in the near future and can't take time off to be a juror.
Many of the prospective panelists reflected the small-town feel of northern Santa Barbara County, a Central California region known for wine, agriculture, and Jackson's Neverland Ranch. One woman said she could get a medical excuse from her doctor across the street. A few said they have friends who worked at Neverland.
One woman said that at 75, she was "just too old."
"You don't look a day over 60," the judge replied.
The woman said she was willing to serve if she had to, but noted she had "a multitude of illnesses."
