It's going to be really interesting to see what the defense team come up with.

On the face of it, the prosecution case has been pretty damming.

I assume the defense are going to go for:

(a) An attempt to discredit the testimony of the medical witnesses (in terms of sowing doubt in the minds of the jury) -- although as these medical people seem to be world-class in their own specialties, I'm not sure how this will work.

(b) Bring out lots of character witnesses for the good doctor.

Their original attempts to portray MJ as a drug abuser during cross-examination -- and hence using this as an explanation of why he contributed to his own demise -- didn't seem to be getting anywhere.

So. An interesting 2 weeks ahead of us.

Let's hope that Sky News can improve on its coverage of the trial. I'm finding myself having to simultaneously watch an Internet feed for when Sky decides to drop the proceedings for an Ad-break (every few minutes), or simply drops the proceedings altogether, for whatever reason.
