LOS ANGELES – Lawyers for Michael Jackson's doctor are due in court to discuss pretrial matters but Dr. Conrad Murray has waived his right to be present.
Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor has scheduled the hearing Monday afternoon to discuss such issues as whether the case will be televised and whether jurors will have to fill out a questionnaire before they face an inquiry in open court.
Murray, who has pleaded not guilty to involuntary manslaughter, has been continuing to practice medicine at his clinics in Houston and Las Vegas. His lawyers said he would probably be busy tending to patients and would not attend the hearing.
Murray is accused of giving Jackson a lethal dose of the powerful anesthetic propofol and other sedatives. His trial is scheduled for March 28.

Its easy to do for channels to have it all day. In the UK Sky News and BBC have interactive functions where you can select a certain screen to watch or stream online of course.

I hope they opt to have camera's in the courtroom...it will however be so difficult to stare at Murray's mug all day.

Re: court hearing 7th february discussion thread
found this info about Judge Pastor if anyone is interested.....
This is the judge set to decide the fate of Michael Jackson's former doctor, Conrad Murray. Judge Michael Pastor, who has been described as "one of the toughest, smartest" arbiters of justice in the US, was appointed as the judge in Murray's involuntary manslaughter case, which is being held at the Los Angeles Superior Court. He has previously overseen celebrity cases involving topless pictures of Cameron Diaz and Jason Priestley's DUI case. In the afternoon hearing, a motion by the California State Attorneys' on behalf of the State Medical Board was put on hold until June 14th.

He has overseen cases involving topless pictures of Cameron Diaz and Jason Priestley's DUI.
In the afternoon hearing, a motion by the California State Attorney General's Office on behalf of the State Medical Board was put on hold until June 14.
Murray made back-to-back appearances in separate courtrooms in front of a large contingent of Jackson family members, including the late singer's mother, Katherine, father, Joe, and siblings Janet, Jermaine and Randy.
First, Supervising Superior Court Judge Peter Espinoza assigned the case on to another judge, just minutes after Murray was presented to the court.
Then, spectators and the media were whisked off to a lower floor, where Murray appeared before Judge Pastor.
Pastor, in the interest of full disclosure, told lawyers for both sides he was appointed to the bench by Attorney General Jerry Brown back in 1983 when Brown was governor of California. Brown reportedly wants Murray's licence suspended.
Pastor also wrote a letter of recommendation for prosecutor David Walgren, who is looking to become a judge. He told the court that he doesn't think either issue will affect his judgement.

Re: court hearing 7th february discussion thread
so the prosecutor said that the defense hasn't handed over any discovery yet and the trial is next month? I guess the reason for that is because they don't have any. There is nothing for them to defend because Murray is guilty as sin. He bought, injected and killed MJ. There is no defense for him

Judge rules trial of Michael Jackson's doctor can be televised
The trial of Dr. Conrad Murray will start March 24
Opening statements are expected the first week of April
Jury selection in the involuntary manslaughter trial of Dr. Conrad Murray, accused in the death of pop star Michael Jackson, will begin March 24, a judge ordered Monday.
Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor also approved television cameras in court for the trial.
Pastor had set the trial to start March 28 when Murray invoked his right to a speedy trial during his arraignment last month. But the judge later decided it was cutting too close to the 60-day limit.
"Absolutely, we simply can't start on the last day," Pastor said.
The opening statements are likely to be delivered during the first week of April. The trial is expected to last about six weeks, according to the defense and prosecution.

Jury selection is scheduled to begin March 24, with the trial expected to last six weeks.
The next status hearing in the case is February 15th.

Re: court hearing 7th february discussion thread
:agree: The world should not see and hear every personal detail.:no:
Televised? Oh god Michael the world shouldn't see every last detail of your demise
:agree:

every little detail will be repeated by the media regardless of the trial being televised or not.
this allows us to see it with our own eyes and hear it with our own ears rather than depending on media.
