Serious questions about one of the jurors in the Michael Jackson child molestation trial could lead to the juror's removal from the panel.ABC News has learned that a key witness, who testified that Jackson molested him when he was a child, and a live-in sister of Juror No. 11 work together in the same small auto parts store in Santa Maria, Calif., just blocks from the courthouse where "The King of Pop" is being tried. Sources told ABC News that the court does not know about this and it is being revealed for the first time this morning. This revelation could lead to the removal of Juror No. 11, a 20-year-old Hispanic male cashier.
"The fix would be to simply excuse the juror and substitute one of the alternates," said Robert Ray, a former independent counsel in the Whitewater investigation.
This potential development comes as prosecutors rested their case Wednesday, May 4.
