The jury for the trial of Michael Jackson’s personalphysician, DrConrad Murray, has been chosen.

Twelve men and woman were selected from a panel of nearly 400, after completing a 30-page questionnaire about Michael’s music, his famous family and the media coverage of his death. All potential jurors were questioned as to whether they were a fan of the superstar and had ever bought his music or DVDs or been to his concerts.

Of the final 12, one is African-American, five are Hispanic and six are Caucasian. Their occupations include bus driver, bookseller and paralegal, reports the BBC.
