Jury selection in Michael Jackson’s child-molestation trial will be delayed by several days because his lead attorney’s sister is gravely ill, court officials said Friday.
About 250 prospective jurors are to report to the courthouse Monday for administrative processing. But their questioning in open court by attorneys on both sides will not start until at least Thursday.
On Monday, Santa Barbara Superior Court Judge Rodney Melville will hear a request from news media for access to questionnaires filled out last week by the prospective jurors.
Neither Jackson nor defense attorney Thomas Mesereau will be in court.
