Trial of Michael Jackson doctor delayed until Sept AP
By LINDA DEUTSCH, AP Special Correspondent Linda Deutsch, Ap Special Correspondent – 46 mins ago
The long-awaited trial of the doctor charged in Michael Jackson's drug death was delayed Monday for four months, with a judge saying defense lawyers needed additional preparation time to effectively represent their client.
Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor said he was more concerned with justice for Dr. Conrad Murray than with the speed of the proceedings.
Murray, who had insisted on a speedy trial, waived that right and agreed to start jury selection anew on Sept. 8. Lawyers estimated opening statements would begin Sept. 20.
Attorneys for Murray filed a motion Sunday complaining about the last-minute addition of expert witnesses to the prosecution case and saying they needed at least two weeks to find experts of their own and have them prepare reports.
They also are trying to get raw footage from Jackson's posthumous concert movie, "This Is It." Prosecutors plan to use clips to show Jackson was in good health just before he died.
Pastor said he did not think two weeks was sufficient for the defense to accomplish its goals.
Prospective jurors who filled out questionnaires and were to return to court Tuesday will be thanked and told their services are no longer needed, the judge said.
"The court is very mindful of judicial efficiency and the expense that has occurred in this case," Pastor said. "But first and foremost is justice ... The continuance in this case is absolutely essential."
Pastor said he didn't like the idea of picking a new jury but said it was "preferable to having this continuing drama."
Deputy District Attorney David Walgren said he had no objection to a delay. He had been urging a later start date all along.
Murray has pleaded not guilty to involuntary manslaughter. He is accused of negligence in administering the hospital anesthetic propofol to Jackson in his home. The superstar singer died June 25, 2009, of an overdose of propofol coupled with other sedatives.
The Murray defense has posed the theory that Jackson, who was desperate for sleep, swallowed more propofol than the doctor gave him. The drug normally is administered intravenously.
The prosecution presented new reports last week from two experts who say it's impossible to overdose by taking the drug orally because it would not be absorbed into the intestines.
Murray, who had been adamant about wanting a trial within 60 days of his preliminary hearing, was asked by the judge if he was giving up that right to allow his lawyers to effectively represent him.
"Yes," Murray said. "I believe it's in the best interest of all parties."
"But do you feel it is in your best interest?" asked the judge.
"Yes," said the defendant.
Pastor said he planned to keep the case "on a short leash" and set a progress hearing on June 3. | |

| Maybe the plan to request a speedy trial was so he could look as innocent as possible. Surly a guilty person wouldn't want it over. Anyway AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGG | |

| Or, maybe someone has decided he needs more time before he shows himself. Or, maybe all scumbags involved have not come out of the woodwork yet. Or, maybe someone has decided to show himself before the trial actually begins so as to avoid being slung through the mud one more time. Or, maybe said someone is trying to avoid a costly court case because he doesn't want to have to pay out any more money. Or,...
I'm just not sure what to believe anymore. Like...why was bin Laden thrown in the ocean so quickly and not the rest of the people that were killed? I know it was said that he was given a speedy burial according to Muslim tradition. So why him and no one else. Kind of makes you wonder...
No matter what, I'm just damn disappointed. I was looking forward to this trial just to see what would happen.
BUMMER, MAN! | |

| Who do you mean, Suki? You mean his son and one of the wives? I think that they were not as important to U.S. They were most likely collateral. And so they were left to be buried by whoever else lived there? They are saying that military did not want others to make shrine out of his grave... And they had to do it fast if they wanted to do it by Muslim tradition. I don't find any of this strange. I wish they took him alive though. But from what I read there was very little intel they could get from him anyway... I bet he would not say much. | |

| Yes, that's who I was talking about. Sorry I wasn't very clear. Long day. After I wrote that, I did read that his body was taken so that a shrine couldn't be made (one of the reasons). That makes sense to me now. I also read that the President is debating whether to release a photo of bin Laden dead. As long as it's not too gory, I think that would be good. I know I'm not the only one that's a bit skeptical at this point.
I do wish he had been taken alive. I don't like killing even if it seems justified. To me, it makes the person doing the killing no better than the person killed. Make sense??? I think rotting away in solitary somewhere would be worse than death.
I'm sure, in time, more details will come out. Right now, it's a lot to take in. Between the TV and internet, I can barely keep up with all the new articles. But, my heart does go out to all the innocent people in Pakistan and surrounding areas that may have to suffer the worst of it. I hope that bin Ladens' followers don't retaliate against the innocents. | |

| ksk, I saw this and our conversation popped into my head. It seems appropriate. A quote by Mark Twain...
"I've never wished a man dead, but I have read some obituaries with great pleasure." | |

Its costing money actually. Much more. Defense lawyers get paid by the hour.

| Yea, that's kinda what I meant. Meaning, maybe said someone will show up before September and, voila, no trial. July could still be in the running. | |

| We read on this in the room a few days ago. I saw trial in september but it's october so I was off a month. Also, autopsty pics wont be shown. Momma K will fight to make sure that doesn't happen! There are pics.. I get that they are of a 18-25 yr old female so I am not sure about that. But over and over and over I keep getting the same thing. But it said that they worked really hard on these pics. Spent a lot of time. but Katherine isn't convinced that someone can't debunk them. So not even MJ posing for pics... It's someone else altogether. Maybe I am wrong but its' what I saw every day for a few days that I read! | |

| Not surprised there at all, Tracy. What do you mean by you were off a month? Did you see October and it's really September?
Speaking of the room, have you been in there lately? I haven't seen you. If you know beforehand that you're doing a reading, send me an email and let me know, please. I'd love to be in on that. | |
