Lottery for preliminary hearing?
January 05, 2011, 06:17:48 PM
Is it normal for a court of law to draw from a lottery so that fans can sit in on the performance, uhh... i mean court hearing. Idk that just seems out of the ordinary to me... it all just seems so set up to me. Like when they where doing a lottery for tickets for the memorial....?.... and now for court?

How come there wasn't a lottery drawing for fans for the Anna Nicole Smith case, or why couldn't anyone sit in on Lindsey Lohan or DMX court hearings? :lol:  
All kinda fishy to me

It's normal. That's how people sit in in the first place.

The thing that concerns me about the lottery is that there are 2 people that ALWAYS seem to get in :?:

It's typical to have a drawing when the case is a high profile one, and a large public turnout is likely or guaranteed. While the ANS case was a big news maker, ANS didn't have the devout fan base Michael has. If the proceedings aren't closed to the public (possible reasons being security, potential for jury tainting, etc.), then anyone can attend and observe. I'm assuming the lottery will be daily, thus giving everyone wishing to have a seat a chance to do so.

Correct, because the hearing is closed, but  fans want to be present, they allow very limited numbers inside despite many wishful. Thus, they created lottery system to fairly select people and it will be daily. On the first day, they allow 5 people, I was told next days more maybe allowed, up to 10
