Dr. Conrad Murray, the man facing involuntary manslaughter charges in the death of Michael Jackson, has arrived in court for the second day of the preliminary hearing.
The hearing will determine whether there is enough evidence to send the case to trial.
Katherine and Joe Jackson are currently in the courthouse. We're told Katherine was in great spirits. Dr. Murray also arrived, appearing upbeat, wearing a blue suit and yellow tie.
Joe Jackson, who spoke yesterday to X17online exclusively, told us he believes his son did not kill himself with a fatal dose of propofol ... which is what prosecutors are claiming. Jackson told us:
"He had too much responsibility. He's a Jackson, he doesn't think like that. One month before he died he told Katherine THEY were going to kill him for his publishing catalogue. He said THEY were going to kill him. Why would he kill himself?"
Michael Jackson's former bodyguard, Faheem Muhammad, is today's first witness. He has told the judge that he was on the way to the bank when he got the call from Michael's personal assistant that "something was wrong in the house."
When Muhammad returned to the house, he found Dr. Murray and Alberto Alvarez, Michael's logistics director, in the room with Michael. Muhammad adds that "Michael's eyes were open and his mouth was open and his feet were hanging off the end of the bed ... appeared Jackson was dead." It's believed Alvarez made the 911 call.
We're told LaToya Jackson has just arrived to the courthouse, but is not yet in the courtroom.
