Michael Jackson leaves court after jury selection in his child molestation trial February 24, 2005 in Santa Maria, California. Along with the main jury of 12 members, eight alternate jurors were selected. Opening arguments are slated to begin Monday. Jackson has pleaded innocent to the 10-count indictment, which accuses the pop icon with molesting a boy, plying him with liquor and conspiring to commit child abduction, false imprisonment and extortion.
