The judge in the case against Michael Jackson’s personal physician said Wednesday that he will review about 12 hours of raw footage of the singer’s rehearsals shortly before his death to see if it should be shown to jurors, but he downplayed a defense suggestion that the jury be sequestered.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor said he will visit Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City to review the footage, which prosecutors contend should be admissible in the trial of Dr. Conrad Murray.
Defense attorneys claim most of the footage is irrelevant, simply showing the singer performing.
Pastor said he expected to be able to review the footage by this weekend. Another hearing in the case is scheduled for Monday.
