Los Angeles (CNN) -- The missing witness in the involuntary manslaughter trial of Michael Jackson's doctor was found over the weekend and will be available to testify, the prosecutor told the court Monday.
Pharmacist Tim Lopez testified at Dr. Conrad Murray's preliminary hearing in January that he shipped more than 15 liters of the surgical anesthetic propofol to the apartment of Murray's girlfriend over the three months before Jackson's death.
The Los Angeles County coroner ruled that Jackson died on June 25, 2009, as the result of an overdose of propofol combined with other drugs.
Deputy District Attorney David Walgren told the court last week that it is believed Lopez, the owner of a wholesale pharmacy in Las Vegas, has moved to Thailand.
A hearing had been set for Monday so Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor could decide if prosecutors could rely on the transcript of his previous testimony. The resolution of that and several other issues made for a short hearing.
"Well, I'd like to believe that I was responsible in some measure, but we have excellent counsel," Pastor said Monday.
The defense announced it was dropping from its witness list a Texas medical examiner who toured the Los Angeles county coroner's lab. Prosecutors had objected to his testimony, calling it irrelevant.
Pastor delayed consideration of the prosecution's request to exclude the testimony of Jackson's makeup artist. The defense wants Karen Faye to repeat statements given in interviews about what she described as Jackson's ill health in the weeks before his death, as he was rehearsing for his comeback concerts.
The prosecution told the judge in a hearing Thursday that much of what Faye has said in the past was based on what she heard others say, not her own recollections.
If convicted on the involuntary manslaughter charge, Murray could face up to four years in prison.
The next hearing is set for Wednesday afternoon, when lawyers for each side will offer their "for cause" challenges of prospective jurors, based on their answers to written questions.
Lawyers will conduct face-to-face questioning of potential jurors on Friday as they choose 18 Los Angeles citizens to hear the case.
Opening statements for the trial, which will be televised, are scheduled for September 27. The judge told members of the jury pool he expects their service will be over on or about October 28.

He vanished and then reappeared!

How amazing. Like a magic trick.
Are you entertained?

No magic involved - the way I see it the guy simply moved and while they were locating him they thought a sensationalist headline about a key witness going 'missing' would be appropriate.  No news here.  /pull hair/

It's all about the "news" though, I mean, how dumb the stories are. And how they appeal to a dumb[ed down] audience.

Are you entertained?

"I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be shrewd as serpents and as innocent as doves."  




Why not just tell people I'm an alien from Mars? Tell them I eat live chickens and do a voodoo dance at midnight. They'll believe anything you say, because you're a reporter. But if I, Michael Jackson, were to say, "I'm an alien from Mars and I eat live chickens and do a voodoo dance at midnight," people would say, "Oh, man, that Michael Jackson is nuts. He's cracked up. You can't believe a single word that comes out of his mouth."

My best friend is a lawyer, I asked her about this case.. She told me that when you commit murder and they find you guilty they do not give 4 yrs, it is more. it can go up to 20 yrs in prison and if you are in as a good behaviour they will let you out in 10yrs.. Now this is Canadian law.. As we all know CM will not go to prison, because he did not kill anyone..


I'm happy to be alive, I'm happy to be who I am.
Michael Jackson

Bec, from comments I read on other non-MJ related sites, many people are fed up with the constant stream of inaccurate and non-news. I think the 'dumb(ed down) audience', as you put it, is diminishing.  Which is a good thing, but still I feel like this  /pull hair/ when this hoax 'makes' me spend time on dumb articles, TMZ, 'celebrity' nonsense, that I would never have given a glance to previously!

MJonmind

LaToya and Joe have always said Murray was the "fall guy", or maybe do they mean "hitman" sent by other "enemies" of Michael's, with Katherine claiming no foul play. Was it Jermaine who said he thought Murray should be charged for murder in one interview. I wonder if their claims will be investigated at the trial. This is what the majority of MJ fans are suspecting and want justice for. In that case his prison term would be at least 20 years, with it reduced to 10 for good behaviour. If they up the manslaughter investigation to murder that would certainly get the public more interested in the show-trial!

Yep. My feelings exactly...
I still find it hard going on to the gossip tabloid trash sites.

Things do not seem going well for Murray. If Prince also gives testimony against him, he can go to prison. I wonder how many believers would be still here if Murray goes to prison. I'll be here no matter what because this can be a part of the scenerio, and we shouldn't lose hope no matter what happens.
