Jackson Doctor's LA Court Hearing Postponed
[glow=blue:2h7dr82s]LOS ANGELES July 7, 2011 (AP)[/glow:2h7dr82s]
A hearing in the criminal case against Michael Jackson's doctor has been postponed because lawyers are bogged down viewing hundreds of hours of rehearsal footage from the singer's "This Is It" concert rehearsals
In a conference Wednesday, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor delayed a July 12 hearing to July 20 but said he wants to know then when the involuntary manslaughter trial of Dr. Conrad Murray can go forward. It is now set for Sept. 8.
Attorneys said they have been working daily since June 28 and have gotten through only one of 21 boxes of materials.
Prosecutors want to use the film to show Jackson was in good health while the defense seeks evidence he was ill.
Murray has pleaded not guilty in Jackson's 2009 overdose death.

The defense seeks evidence he was ill? Ill enough to need a Doctor? Ill enough for the Doctor to say he shouldn't be rehearsing. How would this help Dr Murrays' case? The Prosecution should be using any evidence of deteriorating health to show that Dr Murray was not doing his job. Didn't Kenny Ortega send MJ home from rehearsals to rest? Wasn't it Dr Murray who said he was fine to rehearse and who insisted that MJ's health was his responsibility? Isn't that the story?
21 boxes!!! Have the Prosecutors and Defense lawyers been watching these together? I wonder if they'll realize they have their scripts mixed up - 'Hey, shouldn't you say that..?'
We've heard that there was over 100 hours and then it was about 80 hours (I think) and then there was barely enough for what we got and then it was there is enough for a sequel. I think we heard there was 2 or 3 camera's that shot footage and now this article says 8-10 cameras were recording rehearsals...nobody can seem to come up with a solid number on anything.
[glow=red:34kxmohc]Lawyers indicated it will take weeks for them to view all of the relevant video recordings of Jackson. They said they have been working every day since June 28 and have gotten through only one of 21 boxes of materials.[/glow:34kxmohc]
21 boxes (7+7+7=21)
