Dr. Conrad Murray returns to court in Michael Jackson's death
The hearing should last a few minutes with the Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor. Murray is expected to plead not guilty.
Murray has the right to trial within 60 days, but the investigation should not set a date yet.
Pastor held after the preliminary hearing earlier this month that there was insufficient evidence to send Murray to trial.
"Michael is not with us today due to a doctor totally inept, incompetent, irresponsible defendant, Conrad Murray," said Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney David Walgren in his closing argument, then.
Murray remains free of a $ 75,000 bond, but the judge blocked the doctor to use his medical license in California until the end of the trial. The State Medical Board requested that a provision of his bail.
Although Jackson was only Murray in California and the last patient of Murray's lawyer claimed the suspension of a country should quickly Texas and Nevada, where he sees patients, even work.
Murray lawyers seemed satisfied with the results of the preliminary inquiry because the testimony they received from the prosecution witnesses who can help raise reasonable doubts about the guilt of Murray at trial.
"I think the prosecutor will change tactics in this case," defense attorney J. Michael Flanagan said after court. "This is not the same as they did in opening statements."
expert witness for the prosecution in the case admitted to having made a mistake in mathematics and the new calculation supports the defense theory that Michael Jackson was able to give a lethal dose of propofol.
Propofol is an anesthetic surgery, the Los Angeles coroner has decided to kill Jackson in association with several tranquilizers found in his blood.
Dr. Richard Ruffalo, anesthesiologist hired by the prosecution, was the last witness to take a stand.

Murray lawyers suggest a frustration and insomnia Jackson could have made the surgical anesthetic propofol in your bottle of juice, while the doctor was out of his bedroom.
"It makes no sense unless it swallowed orally in a huge number of" Ruffalo testified.
But Murray said he would still be the fault because he left the dangerous substances in the vicinity of a patient who was in charge, Ruffalo said.
"It 's like leaving the syringe near the heroin addict," said Ruffalo. "If you do not get what they want, when you leave the room I could get."
"Anyway, it does not matter," he testified. "He left his patient and do not regenerate properly."
Murray could have predicted that Jackson, who had previously been asked to injections, can do this, he said Ruffalo.
He gets angry if you do not get your milk, he said, referring to the custom of propofol Jackson to refer to as their "milk."
La Toya Jackson, sister of pop star, was clearly disturbed by hearing a witness to describe his brother as a drug addict.
The pathologist who performed the autopsy of Michael Jackson acknowledged that it was possible, though unlikely, that Jackson gave himself a lethal dose of propofol.
Murray said in an interview with police two days after the death of a dream propofol Jackson asked the day of his death, a police detective said.
While Murray told the police that he finally gave propofol Jackson, the defense lawyer has suggested he might be frustrated that Jackson poured the lethal dose in his juice and he drank.
