LOS ANGELES – The high-profile manslaughter trial of Michael Jackson’s personal doctor was delayed yesterday until September at the request of defence attorneys.
With just a week before the start of opening statements, the judge in the case agreed to give defence lawyers more time to seek and prepare expert medical witnesses. Opening arguments in the trial of Dr Conrad Murray had been scheduled for May 9th, and jury selection was already under way. Dr Murray has pleaded not guilty to involuntary manslaughter.
