Well what fans have been waiting to hear has finally occurred. It looks like Dr. Conrad Murray will definitely go to trial. This decision came despite Dr. Murry’s ludicris claims that his actions didn’t lead to the death of his former patient, Michael Jackson.
Murray’s lawyer said Thursday there will be no plea bargain in the involuntary manslaughter case. Naturally Dr. Murray’s legal team is concerned over whether or not an impartial jury can be selected for this trial. It’s going to be a hard stretch to find someone not familiar with the specifics of the case and who also hasn’t already formed a condemning feeling over the guilt or innocent of the involved parties.
“There is a real concern that we have about getting a group of jurors that are going to come into court and are not going to have any preconceived notions of guilt,” said Murray’s lawyer Ed Chernoff. But publicity in this case is everywhere, he said, so seeking a change of venue is unlikely. “The problem is we have this around-the-world stuff. Even in the O.J. Simpson trial, people in Uganda didn’t care about it. But in this case, they care in Uganda and everywhere else.”
The autopsy report released in it’s findings that Jackson died from an overdose of the powerful anesthetic propofol. Murray did acknowledged giving Jackson the drug and other sedatives to help him sleep, but insist that his role was minor at best in the fatal death of the superstar idol. You tell us over at FoxyNC could you sit on this jury and make a fair decision towards Dr. Conrad Murray?
