Conrad Murray is being charged with involuntary manslaughter, which came about after pop icon, Michael Jackson, suddenly died. Murray has entered a plea of not guilty to the charges and has now asked for the trial to be delayed a second time just a week before it's due to begin.
The beloved pop singer was found dead back in 2009 after a Propofol overdose that was supposedly administered by Murray. The prosecution has taken a firm stance in the case and they are ready to begin, but the defense keeps asking for delays.
Contactmusic.com reveals that the case was originally supposed to begin back on March 11, but as of now the trial still does not have a jury and has not taken even the smallest of steps towards beginning.
This case has been in the news for well over a month as little details have leaked out about what kind of evidence is going to be used. Things like Michael’s body and old dance tapes are to be shown as evidence.
The defense's request for a time extension came after the prosecution introduced a new head witness that would prove Michael could not have given himself the fatal dose of Propofol, says Monsters & Critics.
The defense will try to plead that Jackson was desperate for sleep after his rehearsals and getting ready for his big tour. Time will tell what happens when the case finally starts, but one thing is for certain, the world will be watching.
