The 79-year-old juror who now says Michael Jackson was guilty rejected testimony of the accuser's mother because the mom reminded her of a snippy Denny's restaurant waitress who once failed to give her a "senior discount," her book proposal says.

Ellie Cook said the restaurant incident "played a minor role" in causing her to disbelieve the mom and her son's stories about Jackson, the proposal says.

"It was that little chick [the accuser's mom] that blew it for the boy," according to juror Cook's tell-all pitch, which has been shopped to most major publishing houses but has yet to snare a deal.

Cook voted to acquit Jackson but now claims the pop star should have been convicted of child molestation.

But in her book pitch, she also says she was "a sort of guardian to Michael for his mother" during the trial and also boasts of her mysterious "contact" with the pop star's mom....

is more boggling than The Onion wannabe site.

I just wonder how many guys are on deathrow, because they 'looked scary' and 'had to have done it due to how they look'.
