Michael Jackson Guilty According To Two Jurors

Two jurors from Michael Jackson's molestation trial declared on American public televisions they believe Michael is guilty and they acquitted the pop star pressured by the other jurors.

Ms Cook and Mr Hultman told US network MSNBC that they believed Jackson's accuser Gavin Arvizo had been sexually assaulted.

"No doubt in my mind whatsoever, that boy was molested, and I also think he enjoyed to some degree being Michael Jackson's toy," Ms Cook told US show Rita Cosby: Live and Direct.

"There were a lot of people that were interested in this case from day one," Mr Hultman said. "People expect to know what's going on with their justice system and how things work."

Ms Cook added: "I'm speaking out now because I believe it's never too late to tell the truth."

The two jurors are now planning to write a book about the trial and their deliberations. Eleanor Cook, 79, will call her book "Guilty As Sin, Free As A Bird", according to some reports. Ray Hultman, 62, who said that he believed Jackson had probably molested boys, will call his book "The Deliberator".

Michael Jackson's lawyer, Thomas Mesereau, criticized Cook and Hultman, saying their comments are "embarrassing and outrageous" and that it is "time to move on" from the case.

"Twelve people deliberated and out of that process justice is supposed to result," he said. "Now, two months later, these jurors are changing their tunes. They clearly like being on TV."
