LOS ANGELES (AP) — A new group of 140 prospective jurors has reported for duty in the Los Angeles case of Michael Jackson’s doctor, and all them indicated they know about the involuntary manslaughter case.

Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor summoned a third panel of prospects Thursday to make sure there will be enough people to choose from when in-depth questioning begins next month.

Panelists who say they can serve on a two-month trial are filling out questionnaires. Those who express strong opinions about Dr. Conrad Murray’s guilt or innocence could be dismissed for cause before they reach the jury box.

A group of 147 prospects has already been cleared to face the next phase of questioning on May 4.

Murray was introduced to prospective jurors along with lawyers. He has pleaded not guilty.
