L.A. Superior Court judge Michael Pastor ruled on Monday that television cameras will be allowed to film the involuntary manslaughter trial of Dr. Conrad Murray, who faces up to four years in prison for the death of Michael Jackson. Pastor has blocked cameras from broadcasting jury selection, and he has requested proposals from local news crews to ensure the "absolute least intrusive placement" of a television camera in the courtroom during the trial, according to Reuters.
Pastor also announced that he would bump up the opening date of the trail by four days to March 24, at which point jury selection will begin. Murray has pleaded not guilty to the charges, and the trial is expected to last approximately six weeks.
