Jacko Juror in 2G E-SALE
A juror from Michael Jackson’s sensational kiddie-sex trial cashed in his notes for more than $2,000 in an Internet auction that ended last night.
Delivery driver Jeffrey Welbaum, 38, sold six notebooks filled with courtroom observations, his juror ID badge and a certificate of appreciation – signed by trial Judge Rodney Melville – to a first-time eBay bidder for $2,550.
“It’s something that’s probably more important to someone else, like a fan of Michael Jackson’s,” said Welbaum.
The winning bidder has no history of any eBay purchases.
If that buyer doesn’t come through, it could leave Welbaum open to selling to the auction’s runner-up, who has pledged $2,500 for the Jackson memorabilia.
“I’m a little uncertain about the No. 1 guy, but the No. 2 guy looks OK,” he said.
