Michael Jackson’s doctor day in court postponed

Dr. Conrad Murray’s day in court has been postponed because lawyers are bogged down reviewing hours of footage captured during the rehearsals for Michael Jackson’s This Is It concert.

In a conference with lawyers on Wednesday, Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor accepted the requests to delay a July 12 hearing to July 20. He said he wants to know then when the involuntary manslaughter trial of Dr Conrad Murray can go forward. It is now set for September 8.

Prosecutors want to show jurors clips from the posthumous feature film This Is It to prove Jackson was healthy in the days before his death. Dr. Murray’s team, however, believe it shows the singer was ill.
Murray has pleaded not guilty. The transcript of the conference with the judge and lawyers was released on Thursday.

Lawyers indicated it will take weeks for them to view all of the relevant video recordings of Jackson. Although the lawyers have been going through the boxes since June 28 they state they have gotten through only one of 21 boxes of materials.

“So far, we have found a lot of important stuff,” said defense lawyer Nareg Gourjian.

Lawyers have been barred from discussing publicly any evidence they find in the videos.

Prosecutor Deborah Brazil said she has been working along with Gourjian, defense lawyer Ed Chernoff, Sony lawyer Kevin Vick and a technician going through material on computer hard drives.

Gourjian, who originally estimated there were 100 hours of footage from rehearsals, said he now believes there is much more.

“There are about eight to ten different cameras that were recording the rehearsals and each one has different views and different footage,” he said. “So it is critical that we review the footage from each camera.”
