Racial Composition Of The Michael Jackson Jury Pool

Jay Leno joked during his Tonight Show monologue on Tuesday night, “What a crowd! You sound like Michael Jackson when he heard the judge call for a ten-minute recess. ‘Recess? Let’s go, kids!’ … Today on the news they were talking about the racial composition of the jury pool. They said it’s about 20 percent African-American and 75 percent white … oh, I’m sorry. That’s Michael Jackson. … You know who I feel really sorry for today? Robert Blake. Did you see what happened to him? All the reporters left his trial and went up to cover Michael’s. ‘Hey, come on, you guys. Who do I have to shoot in this town?!’”
