<br />[size=12pt]In asking for a sequestered jury in the upcoming trial of Michael Jackson's doctor, Conrad Murray's attorneys made a bold prediction about the public interest in the case.<br /><br />In their filing, Murray's lawyers predicted that viewership of the trial on the Internet and television would exceed that for Casey Anthony's trial, given Jackson's global fame.<br /><br />"There is reasonable expectation that Dr. Murray's trial will be the most publicized trial in history," they wrote.<br /><br /><br />The attorneys noted that in an aborted attempt at jury selection this spring, a process scuttled by unrelated delays, only one potential panelist said she had never heard of the case.<br /><br />"And she could not speak English," they added in a footnote.<br /><br />A spokeswoman for the district attorney's office declined to comment. A hearing is set for Aug. 25.<br /><br />The judge for Murray's manslaughter trial, which is set for next month, has said previously that he does not believe round-the-clock isolation of jurors is necessary.<br /><br />Murray is accused of causing Jackson's 2009 death from an overdose of surgical anesthetic. He maintains that Jackson administered the fatal dose himself.[/size]<br /><br /><br />http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2011/08/michael-jackson-case-could-be-most-publicized-trial-in-history-attorneys-say.html
