This morning, about 34 people entered the daily lottery for 8 courtroom seats open to the public. Here are a few of the people who won the seats and are attending the trial right now.
Robert Pritchard, who says he looks and dresses like Sammy Davis Jr. and is now a repeat winner. Though today he didn't wear his usual eye patch. He says the courtroom experience is nothing like watching it on TV, and appreciates being able to see the reactions of the Jackson family and witnesses who testify.
Paula Robinson, who told us she is a former high school classmate of Tito and Jackie Jackson.
James Mills from San Francisco, who says he has been an MJ fan for years, and "just wanted to be part of this historic event"
There was some disappointment though for a woman from Scotland, who was here hoping to win a seat. She says she has been a fan for years and while in L.A. on vacation, was hoping to make the trial part of her California experience. She did not win a seat.
