Judge hints jurors may see raw video of Michael Jackson's last days

Los Angeles (CNN) -- Raw video of Michael Jackson's last days is not covered by laws protecting journalists from court subpoenas, making it likely that Sony will have to let lawyers use its video in their defense of Dr. Conrad Murray, a judge said Thursday.

Lawyers for Murray, who faces trial for involuntary manslaughter in the pop star's death, argued that the unseen rehearsal video could show that Jackson was ill and physically weak.

Prosecutors contend that Jackson died from an overdose of a surgical anesthetic that Murray gave him to induce sleep.

Sony Pictures, which bought the video from Jackson's estate, is fighting the subpoena from Murray's lawyers for access to about 100 hours of video that was used to produce the "This Is It" documentary, released several months after the singer's June 25, 2009, death.

2. Oh good, more non-news
Between Weiner, Casey Anthony and the million of reality shows, I am ready to scream.
Does anyone have an IQ over 100 and any depth of thinking? Anyone?

3. I also think that Michael Jackson's death and Weiner's lying about tweeting his weiner are without
relevance to the lives of anyone not directly involved.

I don't think much of those that think differently on this point.
