The judge has asked for the "absolute least intrusive placement" of TV cameras in the courtroom and sought detailed proposals from local news crews. However, he has banned them from filming jury selection.
Dr. Conrad Murray was hired as the singer’s personal doctor to prepare him for his planned 50-date comeback series of shows at London's O2 Arena in the summer of 2009 and the cardiologist is reportedly planning to argue Michael’s body failed him partly because he was "driven over the edge" by concert promoters to rehearse.
However, his lawyers are also expected to claim the singer administered the fatal dose of Propofol to himself when the physician was out of the room. Court testimonies at the preliminary hearing last month alleged Dr. Murray had not appeared to know how to correctly administer CPR, had tried to hide evidence of the medication he had been giving Michael and that by the time he called medics his client had already passed away.
The 57-year-old medic will face a maximum of four years in prison if he is convicted.
