The jury for the trial of Michael Jackson’s child molestation case consists of eight women and four men, whose ages range from 20 to 79. The racial and ethnic breakdown is seven whites, four Hispanics and one Asian.

Juror #157: A 22-year-old white, single mother of two girls. She said her aunt invited her to visit Jackson’s Neverland ranch once, but she declined. She has listened to Jackson’s music but said she doesn’t know much about his career.
