A judge ordered Michael Jackson's doctor to show
up to court Wednesday when he deals with the possibility
of delaying the start of the trial on an involuntary
manslaughter charge.
"The defense is not 100 percent ready at this time,"
said defense lawyer Michael Flanagan.
"We are in the process of getting ready."
In response, the Pastor said he was speechless.
Under fire, the defense says they were unable to
get evidence from the coroner's office. They also
want surveillance video from the mansion from
the Los Angeles Police Department.
While Pastor aimed his remarks at the defense
counsel, he also put the prosecution team on notice.
Pastor has lectured attorneys from both the prosecution
and the defense about their obligations to share what
evidence they plan to use.
Murrays says he is innocent of causing Jackson's death.
Yet Murray's defense attorneys have not produced witness
statements and reports from defense experts,
which they need for trial.
That's not fast enough for the court.
Despite multiple warnings, the defense says they may
not be able to do that until the trial is underway.
"The defense is not 100 percent ready at this time,"
said defense lawyer Michael Flanagan.
"We are in the process of getting ready."
