Keep mum can also be used instead of keep quiet.

Jurors warned to keep mum about trial of Michael Jackson's doctor
By Alan Duke, CNN
September 8, 2011 -- Updated 1749 GMT (0149 HKT)

Los Angeles (CNN) -- The judge warned potential jurors Thursday in the trial of Michael Jackson's doctor they could face jail if they violate his order not to talk to anyone about the case, including with "telepathic communication."
The search began Thursday for 18 Los Angeles County citizens who can put aside what they've heard about the pop star's death so they can sit in judgment of Dr. Conrad Murray, who is charged with involuntary manslaughter.
"Disobedience will not be tolerated. It can undermine our system of justice," Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor told the potential jurors. "Violation of my orders can lead to an unjust verdict, a mistrial, emotional turmoil and distress."
Pastor's order also bans jurors from researching the case online, or using a dictionary or the Bible, he said.
"Things on the Internet can be inaccurate and misleading," Pastor said. "We have this need today to share information with 750 million other people we don't even know. We don't know their agenda or the truth of what they say on the Internet."
When the judge asked for a show of hands from anyone who has not heard of the case, no hands were raised.
In all, up to 450 potential jurors will report to the courthouse in downtown Los Angeles between Thursday and Monday for the selection process in the trial.
When Murray was introduced to the first group of 160 potential jurors Thursday, he stood up and said "Good morning, ladies and gentlemen." Many of them responded in unison, "Good morning."
Pastor's first task is to decide who in the pool of potential jurors likely would not endure the duration of the trial. While the 12 jurors and six alternates will be allowed to return home after court each day, the five weeks or more of testimony can take a toll on their finances and families.
For a hardship to cause someone to be dismissed it "must be extreme," the judge said.
Those who are kept are being given about 30 pages of questions to determine if they are qualified to be on the jury.
They will return September 23 for face-to-face questioning by lawyers as the final list of jurors is chosen.
Opening statements for the trial, which will be televised, are scheduled for September 27. The judge told the jury pool he expects their service will be over on or about October 28.
The last roadblock to the start of Murray's trial came Wednesday when a California appeals court rejected the defense's petition for a delay so that the issue of jury sequestration could be reconsidered.
Murray's lawyers had argued that Pastor had abused his discretion by rejecting a request that the jury be kept in a hotel for the duration of the trial.
They compared the upcoming trial to the recent coverage of the Casey Anthony murder trial in Florida and said Murray could not get a fair trial if the jury was not isolated from what they expect will be non-stop media coverage.
"Petition is denied in the absence in a showing of abuse of discretion," the brief appeals ruling said.
Meanwhile, evidence intended to prove Jackson could not have caused his own death might not be allowed in trial, Pastor said in a hearing Wednesday.
Murray's defense is built on the theory that Jackson drank propofol, the surgical anesthetic the coroner concluded killed him, while the doctor was away from his bedside on the morning of June 25, 2009.
Prosecutors want jurors to hear expert testimony based on a recent experiment conducted on six university students in Chile that they argue proves there is "zero possibility that the propofol was orally ingested."
Pastor raised questions about the experiment in a hearing Wednesday.
"I need more information about the underlying data since it is not a scientific published article," Pastor said. "I don't know the source of the information."
The judge will allow a prosecution expert to testify about a study on piglets conducted at a veterinary college in Norway, a report defense attorneys argued has nothing to do with how oral ingestion of propofol would affect a human being.
The study involved five piglets that "have propofol suppositories shoved up their rectums and they are watched to see if they went to sleep," defense attorney Michael Flanagan said. "The rectum is at the other end of the (gastrointestinal) system."
Prosecutors contend Murray, who was hired as Jackson's personal physician as the singer rehearsed for comeback concerts, used a makeshift IV drip to administer propofol intended to help Jackson sleep, a practice they argue violated the standard of care and led to the pop icon's death.

Why would the jurors be banned from reading the Bible?  Do they not still use the Bible in court for witnesses to place their hand on and swear to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth?  I just find it extremely weird to ban Bible reading from the jurors and then turn around and use them for witnesses on the stand.  Unless they're not going to use Bibles to create some sort of loophole for false testimonies...

Why would an experiment be on six university students of Chile be involved? Why five piglets? I thought that was funny. Mentioning rectums??? I mean come on.

this is really weird.....
ban the Bible?
Why?!
These poor piglets!  /overreacting/ If only there was some way to tell them that things being shoved up their butts is for a good cause!

[hesouttamylife]

 /cook/ Maybe they feel like they might conjure up Jesus Christ. OMG!  They don’t want any spiritual or telepathic intrusions.  Seems they fear Michael’s got supernatural power and they don’t want it tapped respect/.  It is weird for them to name the Bible as an obstacle in a trial though.  tat’s a first for me.

This reminded me of Marilyn Monroe she said he gave barbiturates by the rectum and also that it had swallowed

No Bible only makes sense to me if someone is not of that faith. I.e, when one enters Saudi, no bible is allowed.

4. It mentions the University of Chile which now brings to mind the 33 Chilean miners, [size=12]Phoenix rising from the ashes[/size][...]

I. Regarding thhe Chile survivors... there are some interesting articles: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login

"1. Elvis has left the mine: Chilean fan invited to Graceland - Wed, 10/13/2010 - Edison Pena may be all shook up after spending some 10 weeks trapped deep in a Chile mine, but the self-proclaimed Elvis fan who was rescued Wednesday can look forward to special succor: an invitation to Graceland. Pena led his fellow miners in singalongs of Elvis Presley hits as he sought to buck up the 32 other miners while the group awaited rescue in the dark and dank San Jose mine.

2. Chilean miner celebrates Elvis birthday at Graceland - The Elvis-loving survivor of a Chilean mine collapse celebrated the birthday of his idol Saturday on the snowy grounds of Graceland, the Memphis mansion of the "King of Rock and Roll." As a crowd of several hundred people watched, a puckish Edwin Pena cut into a 4-foot high layered cake embedded with 2 television sets that played black and white footage of Elvis.

II. There were 33 mine-workers - 11 + 11 + 11. ONE of them was a "leading-singer" [Elvis-fan], guiding the other 32 lost souls into the darkness, towards the LIGHT ["I'm the light of the world", the "LIGHT at the end of the TUNNEL"]; then 32 = 8 + 8 +8 + 8 [4x8] - Elvis number. I'm not saying that the Chile incident was planned or connected to the hoax, but I can't helping noticing the similarities and the amazing occurrence of number 8 in relation to Elvis.

III. The "Elvis-Mr. Potato Head" syntagm reminded me of Michael's nickname "Apple Head" and these pics...


IV. The PHOENIX rising from the ashes

[suspicious mind]

[gwynned]
