Nearly 100 prospective jurors were in a downtown Los Angeles courtroom Friday to face questions from attorneys in the trial of Dr. Conrad Murray. As of 10 a.m., the pool was down to 74 potential jurors.
The group was selected from an original pool of 145 people.
Attorneys prepared for Friday by reviewing questionnaires that were filled out by prospective jurors. They can dismiss people whose answers indicated certain biases.
Information from the questionnaires should help move the process along so that opening statements can begin Tuesday.
Authorities contend Murray adminstered to Jackson a lethal dose of the anesthetic propofol in the bedroom of the singer's rented mansion on June 25, 2009. Murray pleaded not guilty to involuntary manslaughter.
