MJ trial in two years
MICHAEL Jackson's doctor is unlikely to face trial over the star's death for TWO YEARS, the News of the World can reveal.
Huge delays in preparing the case against Conrad Murray mean he probably will not go before a jury until 2012.
In the meantime, he put his medical skills to good use yesterday -giving first aid to a woman who passed out on a plane.
Passengers on the flight from Houston to Texas said Murray, 57, helped stabilise the woman and hooked her up to an IV drip.
When she came to after 30 minutes, he reportedly said: "You probably know me-I was Michael Jackson's doctor."
Miranda Sevcik, from the legal team representing Murray in his involuntary manslaughter case, said: "He's a good doctor, and that's what good doctors do-save people."
Murray's lawyer Ed Chernoff is furious "many pages" of documents collected by Los Angeles police have not been handed to the defence-even though Murray was charged in February.
Proceedings could be drawn out even longer over problems with choosing a jury. Chernoff fears his client will not get a fair hearing in LA. "Finding people without a view on Jackson will not be easy," said one legal expert.
Murray is next due in court on June 14, but his lawyer says he will push that hearing back to September.
Last night Murray's spokesman said: "We are looking at the trial starting in about two years in September.
"We've got a huge load-3,500 pages-of evidence to go through. And we have witnesses to speak to all over the world who have had contact with Jackson over the years.
"To properly defend Conrad it's gonna take time to get all of our stuff together."
The District Attorney's said there was a "good possibility" the trial would not begin for "one to two years".
Murray, a cardiologist, has just been given permission to continue his medical practice-but without using anaesthesia-to help pay legal bills.
