Repeat After Me: There is no free lunch.

A Michael Jackson juror who last month announced a book deal and said he believed the pop star was guilty of child molestation has filed a lawsuit to break his publishing contract.


Ray Hultman and his wife, Darlene Hultman, filed the lawsuit in Superior
Court in Santa Maria on Wednesday, claiming they were novices suckered into
signing a book pact with publisher Larry Garrison, owner of the Lake
Sherwood-based SilverCreek Entertainment.

"Plaintiff's reliance on Garrison's representations was justified in
light of their aforementioned simplicity, naiveté, overly trusting natures, lack
of sophistication and inexperience, and Garrison's motivational skills and
ability to 'sell' and promote himself and/or his business ventures," according
to the suit.

Hultman, 62, of Santa Maria wants out of his contract and is seeking
unspecified damages for mental and emotional stress. Also named in the suit is
Hultman's agent, Bill Gladstone of Cardiff by the Sea, and Los Angeles author
Stacy Brown.
