Lawyers for Jackson doctor have date in LA court

Court Alerts

Lawyers for Michael Jackson's doctor are due in court to discuss pretrial matters, but Dr. Conrad Murray has waived his right to be present.

Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor has scheduled the hearing for Monday afternoon to discuss such issues as whether the case will be televised and whether jurors will have to fill out a questionnaire before they face an inquiry in open court.

Murray, who has pleaded not guilty to involuntary manslaughter, has been continuing to practice medicine at his clinics in Houston and Las Vegas. His lawyers said he would probably be busy tending to patients and would not attend the hearing.
