Publishing experts believe it is too soon to guess whose stories will be the most compelling, but the fact that Jackson was found not guilty swings the spotlight toward the defense [wheee!, goes the vomit -ed.]– Jackson’s own story, should he want to tell it, and perhaps a book from lead defense attorney Thomas A. Mesereau Jr.
As for the slave-wage-earning jurors: they’ll quickly learn to avoid pitching ReganBooks. “Jurors always seem to think they’re going to cash in. I find that repulsive,” Judith Regan told the Times.
In keeping with the values of our judicial system, the publisher continued: “Jurors have a completely distorted view of their own value.”
