Conrad Murray Judge -- So Tough, So Smart
Posted Apr 5th 2010 1:40PM by TMZ Staff

Sources tell TMZ the judge who will get the Conrad Murray manslaughter case is one of the toughest, smartest judges on the bench in L.A. County.

Court sources tell TMZ that L.A. County Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor will be assigned Murray's case today, following a brief hearing with the Supervising Judge of the L.A. County Superior Court.

Judge Pastor has handled some high-profile cases, including the case involving topless pics of Cameron Diaz, Jason Priestley's DUI case, and a slew of other high-profile, non-celeb cases.

Note to lawyers in the case -- Pastor is extremely tough, and nothing gets past him. He reads every legal doc in his cases and makes it a point to become an expert on whatever the case involves.

Judge Pastor also knows something about addiction -- he's renowned at the courthouse as having a frequent flier mileage addiction, often flying pointlessly over a weekend just to rack up mileage points.

He's getting the Judicial Excellence Award from the L.A. County Criminal Courts Bar Association this weekend.

LOL Souza ...he knows something about addiction...he's addicted to flying pointlessly just to accumulate flier's mileage.  With that experience on how an addict's mind works, he will definitely understand how addicted MJ was to Coke and Propofol... :lol:  Its all sarcasm

And even if it were a addiction...how is it even a good comparison?? They say anything on there and expect us to "FLY" with it!!  :roll:  :lol:  :lol:
