"We are going to trial because Dr. Murray is not guilty."

The office of California's attorney general is trying for a fourth time, on behalf of the state's medical board, to suspend Dr. Murray's medical license.

If that happens, Murray's attorneys say, Nevada and Texas, where Dr. Murray also practices, are likely to follow suit.

Said Chernoff, "The hearing (Monday) will deal with housekeeping issues from scheduling the preliminary hearing to dealing with the Medical Board of California requesting to restrict my client's medical license.
