8:19 am
defense will go into middle to end of next week. they have about 15 witnesses they'll call, including character witnesses, their own propofol expert, who has been in the court listening to dr. schaeffer the entire time, giving his testimony. the two experts, defense expert and prosecution star witness, are friends. so that brings a little extra drama to the courtroom as this court continues to go forward. also legal analysts tell you dr. schaeffer's testimony over the course of the last week has been nothing short of compelling. he on numerous occasions said dr. murray was egregious in his care of michael jackson and made significant mistakes. he counted 17 mistakes al told and he detailed them throughout this long, continuous process of questioning by the prosecution. again, it ended yesterday late in the afternoon. so the cross-examination will begin today, and the defense ace case could also begin today. everything goes as planned, which nothing has so far in this case, the jury could get
