Michael Jackson prays with Jesse Jackson
SANTA MARIA, Calif. Michael Jackson has been starting his trial days by praying with the Reverend Jesse Jackson. That's according to the minister and the singer's spokeswoman.
Raymone Bain says the pop star receives advice from the activist minister on both spiritual and personal issues.
Bain says the singer usually wakes up at about 4:30 a-m and talks to Reverend Jackson for 15 to 20 minutes by phone.
The Reverend Jackson said in a telephone interview that the entertainer and his family are Jehovah's Witnesses and the prayer they share is nondenominational.
The activist preacher also said that it was unfair that the jury has no black members. He challenged a reporter to imagine a situation in which a white person would be charged with molestation and have a predominantly black jury.
