Dr. Conrad Murray Pleads Not Guilty in MJ Death
7 minutes ago by TMZ Staff
Dr. Conrad Murray just pled not guilty to involuntary manslaughter in the death of Michael Jackson.
Judge Michael Pastor ruled earlier this month that there is enough evidence to force Murray to stand trial.
Today's brief arraignment is part of the process.
The trial date is set for March 28.
If convicted, Murray faces a maximum of four years in prison.
By the way, we promised you we'd go live with the arraignment, but the technical wizards at KABC TV in Los Angeles couldn't find the right cables to plug in.

Now they did not find the right cables to plug in... hmmm.
Shouldn't happen to professionals, should it?
The trial date is set for March 28th...I thought it would take longer for that to get going. At least the summer - maybe it'll end in the summer.
He also said "I am an Innocent man" before he said not guilty.
Victor: I love your sig pic. Awesome.
Event:
Greatest Show On Earth was formed by PT Barnum and James A Bailey

When the judge asked Murray for his plea, he said, "Your Honor, I am an innocent man," adding, "I therefore plead not guilty."

The "innocent man" remark reminds me of the Billy Joel song "An Innocent Man"
Some people stay far away from the door
If there's a chance of it opening up
They hear a voice in the hall outside
And hope that it just passes by
Some people live with the fear of a touch
And the anger of having been a fool
They will not listen to anyone
So nobody tells them a lie
I know you're only protecting yourself
I know you're thinking of somebody else
Someone who hurt you
But I'm not above
Making up for the love
You've been denying you could ever feel
I'm not above doing anything
To restore your faith if I can
Some people see through the eyes of the old
Before they ever get a look at the young
I'm only willing to hear you cry
Because I am an innocent man
I am an innocent man
Oh yes I am
Some people say they will never believe
Another promise they hear in the dark
Because they only remember too well
They heard somebody tell them before
Some people sleep all alone every night
Instead of taking a lover to bed
Some people find that it's easier to hate
Than to wait anymore
I know you don't want to hear what I say
I know you're gonna keep turning away
But I've been there and if I can survive
I can keep you alive
I'm not above going through it again
I've not above being cool for a while
If you're cruel to me I'll understand
Some people run from a possible fight
Some people figure they can never win
And although this is a fight I can lose
The accused is an innocent man
I am an innocent man
Oh yes I am
An innocent man
You know you only hurt yourself out of spite
I guess you'd rather be a martyr tonight
That's your decision
But I'm not below
Anybody I know
If there's a chance of resurrecting a love
I'm not above going back to the start
To find out where the heartache began
Some people hope for a miracle cure
Some people just accept the world as it is
But I'm not willing to lay down and die
Because I am an innocent man
I am an innocent man
Oh yes I am
An innocent man
Also didn't KABC Radio interview Twiggy a couple weeks ago on where peterpanpyt called in?
But if we believe Michael is dead, then it should be homicide, not manslaughter. But no one will dig that far, unless prosecution appeals. AND IF MICHAEL IS ALIVE, then he should appear right there with his story and camera tape?
If Michael does not appear, then I don't know what to think. Then when? Maybe never.

Zoomed in view of the stuffed bunny near Conrad Murray in court. Any explanation for this being in the courtroom? <!-- m -->http://twitpic.com/3tcngv<!-- m -->

Thank you for sharing this! So, I wonder if Murray will be wearing read when he appears on March 28th?

Oh my gosh...this takes us back to the first court proceedings with the taxi, etc. Now, we have the white bunny (magic). This is great. I also saw in the TMZ picture that there is a poster in the chair...what is on that poster? Is it of an airplane? The colors are red and yellow <!-- s:) -->:)<!-- s:) -->
After seeing Ms Katherine's interview, this has lifted my spirits. Blessings!
Michael Jackson’s personal physician described himself as “an innocent man” during a Los Angeles Superior Court hearing Tuesday in which a judge set a March date for his trial in the pop star’s death.
Asked how he pleaded to the charge of involuntary manslaughter, Dr. Conrad Murray began, “Your honor, I am an innocent man -- "
“What’s your plea?” Judge Michael Pastor interrupted.
“Therefore, I plead not guilty,” Murray said.
The physician, who faces a maximum of four years in prison, surprised the judge by invoking his right to a speedy trial, meaning the case would have to begin by March 28.
Pastor remarked on the rarity of a defendant invoking his speedy-trial right but set jury selection for March 28. The judge said his “inclination” was to allow television coverage of the trial, which the defense said was likely to last two months.
Jackson died June 25, 2009, from an overdose of the surgical anesthetic propofol, which Murray told police he had been using to treat the singer’s chronic insomnia.
Murray’s attorneys said at a preliminary hearing earlier this month that there was evidence Jackson injected or drank a fatal amount of the drug when the physician wasn’t looking.
[For the record, 9:49 a.m.: A previous version of this post incorrectly stated the case would have to begin by March 2 for Murray to receive his right to a speedy trial.]
[For the record, 10:15 a.m.: An earlier version of this post incorrectly reported the date of Jackson's death as June 29, 2009.]

A pink panther at court it reminds me of the INSPECTOR CLUSEAU’S CLUES by DOVE <!-- m -->http://mjawakening.wordpress.com/category/clues/<!-- m -->
and the parallel coincidence of:
25/01/11 Murray at court says: I AM INNOCENT MAN
25/01/10 when DOVE announces his final message: THE GREATES SHOW ON EARTH!

Remember, a while ago, lyrics, handwritten by Michael surfaced, titled Innocent Man.
I'm at work, so I can't find them- but I will do so later.
Omg- the Barnum Connection just put me on my butt!!!
And the bunny...what a day!
This is what is odd to me also: When the judge was reading the charge he started to say on or about... but didn't finish his sentence and give the date of June 25th 2009.
Murray did not stand up nor did his attorneys when addressing the court while pleading "Your honor I am an Innocent man"... Every time I have appeared before a judge I always stand and so does my lawyer, it is a sign of respect.
Peace
Here is a pic of the Innocent Man lyrics ( or poem).
