Michael Jackson Trial Jury Are 'Fans Of Singer'

Eight of the twelve jurors in the trial of Michael Jackson's doctor Conrad Murray are fans of the singer, according to reports.

Dr Murray is due to go on trial today (September 27) charged with the singer's involuntary manslaughter two years ago. He has pleaded not guilty.

The Sun reports that around 400 potential jurors were required to complete a questionnaire to see if they would be eligible for the trial.

One question reportedly asked: "Have you ever considered yourself a fan of Michael Jackson or the Jackson family?"

The newspaper says eight said they are or were fans, with one juror expressing a particular interest in Jackson's song 'Thriller'.

If found guilty Dr Murray could face four years in prison.
