[b]Jackson gets jury summons, but will he go?[/b] 10/20/05 By DAWN HOBBS NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER Singer requesting deferment Ronald Reagan got a deferment because he was president. But will the King of Pop get out of jury duty in Santa Barbara County? Michael Jackson, the world’s most famous criminal defendant, recently received a jury summons at his Neverland Valley Ranch, the News-Press learned Wednesday. But it seems unlikely that Mr. Jackson, who now lives in Bahrain, will become the world’s most famous juror. “He is permanently living outside of the United States,” said Thomas Mesereau, who defended the singer in his recent child molestation trial. To avoid any penalty for being a no-show for jury duty, Mr. Jackson’s lawyers have filed the necessary paperwork for a deferment.
