Seeing the below two stories (bolded parts) and if the judge doesn't change his mind, it's a great probability that we will see the trial live on TV or Internet.
Again if it's aired live and in full it would equal to getting the court transcripts.

Michael Jackson case: Dr. Conrad Murray pleads not guilty [Updated]
Michael Jackson’s personal physician described himself as “an innocent man” during a Los Angeles Superior Court hearing Tuesday in which a judge set a March date for his trial in the pop star’s death.
Asked how he pleaded to the charge of involuntary manslaughter, Dr. Conrad Murray began, “Your honor, I am an innocent man -- "
“What’s your plea?” Judge Michael Pastor interrupted.
“Therefore, I plead not guilty,” Murray said.
The physician, who faces a maximum of four years in prison, surprised the judge by invoking his right to a speedy trial, meaning the case would have to begin by March 28.
Pastor remarked on the rarity of a defendant invoking his speedy-trial right but set jury selection for March 28.
The judge said his “inclination” was to allow television coverage of the trial, which the defense said was likely to last two months.
Jackson died June 25, 2009, from an overdose of the surgical anesthetic propofol, which Murray told police he had been using to treat the singer’s chronic insomnia.
Murray’s attorneys said at a preliminary hearing earlier this month that there was evidence Jackson injected or drank a fatal amount of the drug when the physician wasn’t looking.

Los Angeles (CNN) -- Dr. Conrad Murray invoked his right to a speedy trial on an involuntary manslaughter charge in the death of Michael Jackson, requiring the case to begin by March 28.
"Your honor, I am an innocent man," Murray said after Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor asked him to enter a plea during his arraignment Tuesday.
"What's your plea?" Pastor asked again.
"Not guilty," Murray said.
Pastor set March 28 as the date for jury selection to begin, and said
he is "inclined" to permit live TV coverage of the trial .
Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney David Walgren estimated the trial would take four to six weeks, depending on how long it takes to pick a jury.
