Michael Jackson trial delayed as Conrad Murray's defense requests more time

Filed under: Music, News and tagged: ,

A judge has delayed the trial of Dr. Conrad Murray until September, ruling that his lawyers need more time to prepare his involuntary manslaughter defense in the Michael Jackson case, according to the Associated Press. Murray’s attorneys requested more time after prosecutors announced plans to call expert witnesses, a move that required Murray himself to waive his right to a speedy trial within 60 days of his preliminary hearing. A progress hearing was set for June 3, and a new jury will be determined on Sept. 8.

    Someone has to support the strippers of America. That person is Conrad Murray. If Murray goes behind bars, it could mean the end of pole-dancing as we know (and love) it. And how about airline passengers who have one drink too many at 30,000 feet and feel nausea. They need ConMan to rush over from his seat and take care of them. Let’s not be too hasty in locking up the ConMan.

    Heres very possible some conspiracy stuff. This is the racists pulling an OJ on the Dr.s among blacks if anything. Conversely Murray himself could have been duped into sabotage from sheer greed or even to get into good books of the NWO type establishment, only to get screwed. if there was sabotage so that they could nail him ‘a black doctor and professional’ in court. He might as well be OJ but not a beefy boxer, but an educated professional as well.
