Last Friday an Associated Press wire story by Tim Molloy reported that “The granddaughter of one of the jurors in the Michael Jackson case hopes to convince her grandmother to write a book about her experiences, and has already lined up a potential co-author.” Molloy reported the woman, Traci Montgomery, had already lined up an author and said she thought her 79-year-old grandmother would go along because “at the beginning of the trial . . . she talked about being on ‘Oprah’ and ’60 Minutes.'” However, Montgomery ‘said she has not spoken to her grandmother about the possibility because of a California law that prohibits jurors from making book deals until 90 days after they are dismissed from service.” Now, a report on the Contact Music website says that despite the law, the juror has agreed to the deal. The report says Montgomer told ABC News that her grandmother “has agreed in principle to write a book on her experiences,” and says she did so “immediately after being picked for the Jackson jury.” Montgomery says not only has she got an author lined up, but a publisher has been chosen as well. The article does not discuss the ramifications of this apparent breech of the law cited in the earlier A.P. report. Meanwhile, author Ernie Cariwel says “he has already begun writing the book.”
