娱乐英语新闻:Jackson's doctor allowed to keep practicing medicine

"I simply don't have the ability to revisit the actions of one of my colleagues," Pastor told a packed courtroom which included Jackson's parents, Joe and Katherine.

"I cannot alter any of the conditions imposed by Judge Schwartz, " Pastor said after hearing arguments from both sides.

The judge noted there had not been "changed circumstances" since Schwartz's Feb. 9 ruling, but he said he could consider the matter at a later time.

Deputy Attorney General Trina L. Saunders had argued in court papers that Murray, whose primary practice is in Houston, promised not to see patients in California, but there was nothing preventing him from doing so.

Murray's attorneys contended that it would be "financially and personally devastating" if he was ordered to stop practicing medicine in California while the case is under way.

"Dr. Murray's financial difficulties as a result of the investigation into this case have already been well publicized," his attorneys, Edward Chernoff and Joseph Hawkins Low IV, wrote in their March 31 response to the request. "He is, without fear of overstatement, hanging on by a thread."

Murray, wearing a dark suit and yellow tie, sat silently during most of the hearing.
