And there's still two more weeks of testimony and information ahead of us!

Members of the Jackson family were all present again for day two of the Conrad Murray hearing in downtown Los Angeles. The hearing will determine whether there is enough evidence to send the case to trial.

The most unsettling fact brought to light during today's proceedings was that Murray, a cardiologist, was both unable to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and claimed to have never performed CPR in his entire life.

Our X17 reporter inside the courtroom says that this made Michael Jackson's mother Katherine extremely upset. Our insider reports the following:

    "Katherine was so frustrated during the proceedings -- it was as if she wanted to yell out that Dr. Murray is a fake. The look on her face and her whispers and rumbles to her attorneys were evidence that she doesn't believe this guy -- not for a second."


Two other unsettling points were also made:

    * A pulse was NEVER detected on Michael Jackson from the moment the EMTs arrived at Jackson's house... yet Dr. Murray refused to declare Jackson dead to 911 or to the EMTs, alleging he still felt a pulse.


    ** Dr. Murray made a number of personal calls on his cell phone during the drive to the UCLA Medical Center.


After the hearing, Geraldine Hughes - author of Redemption: The Truth Behind The Michael Jackson Child Molestation Allegations - spoke to the press about her own impression of sitting in on the day's proceedings.

Hughes says: "We're outraged because this is a charge of involuntary manslaughter to a doctor who ... withheld information. We need a federal investigation why this case was so grossly undercharged. And they're trying to make it seem like it's on Michael but this is not on Michael, it was about a doctor who was hired and who didn't even know proper CPR. We need a federal investigation. This doctor has not told the truth yet. He's been lying since day one."

Day three begins tomorrow.
