Girlfriends up soon in trial of Michael Jackson's doctor
By Alan Duke, CNN
October 3, 2011 -- Updated 1004 GMT (1804 HKT)
Los Angeles (CNN) -- Jurors in the trial of Dr. Conrad Murray will hear Monday from two emergency room doctors who tried to bring Michael Jackson back to life before declaring the pop icon dead.
Prosecutors are also expected to call three of Dr. Murray's girlfriends to the witness stand to talk about their conversations with Murray just before he realized Jackson had stopped breathing.
Monday is the fifth day of testimony in Murray's involuntary manslaughter trial, which is expected to last at least four more weeks.
The trial will resume without Jackson's mother. Katherine Jackson left Los Angeles for Canada with her son's three children during the weekend to attend Sunday's premiere of Cirque du Soleil's "Michael Jackson: The Immortal World Tour" in Montreal.
A source close to the Jackson family said she would not return to the trial at least until October 10, since she will also travel to Cardiff, Wales, for a tribute concert for her late son.
Prosecutors argue Murray, who was Jackson's personal physician as he prepared for planned comeback concerts, is criminally responsible for the singer's death because of medical negligence and his reckless use of the surgical anesthetic propofol to help Jackson sleep.
The coroner ruled that Jackson's June 25, 2009, death was the result of "acute propofol intoxication" in combination with sedatives.
The judge instructed lawyers not to disclose their witness list ahead of time. However, the prosecution has been following the same order of witnesses used in Murray's preliminary hearing in January.
Two cell phone company representatives are expected to outline calls to and from Murray's cell phones the morning Jackson died, followed by Los Angeles Police homicide Detective Dan Myers, who led the LAPD probe of Jackson's death.
Los Angeles County Coroner Investigator Elissa Fleak will likely testify within the next two or three days about searching Jackson's home after his death. She said at the preliminary hearing that she found seven pill bottles on the nightstand next to Jackson's bed and an empty bottle of propofol on the floor near his bed.
Murray's defense lawyers contend Jackson caused his own death by swallowing eight lorazepam pills and orally ingesting propofol while Murray was out of the room.
The girlfriends, who could begin testifying as soon as Monday afternoon, include Sade Anding, a cocktail waitress who met Murray when she was working at a Houston steak house. Anding testified in January that she was on the phone with Murray when he suddenly stopped responding to her just before noon the day Jackson died.
That is the moment prosecutors contend Murray first realized that Jackson had stopped breathing. "I didn't hear him on the phone anymore," Anding said. "I heard commotion as if the phone was in a pocket and I heard coughing and I heard a mumbling of voices."
Anding said she stayed on the phone for another five minutes, listening and wondering why the man she sometimes dated wasn't responding. "Hello, hello, are you there?" she testified she said.
The timing of the phone call is key to the prosecution's timeline of when Murray realized his famous patient was dying. Based on testimony so far, the moment came at 11:57 p.m.
Bridgette Morgan, who met Murray at a club in 2003, is expected to talk about developing a social relationship with Murray. She spoke to him on the phone about 30 minutes before Murray apparently discovered there was a problem with his patient.
Nicole Alvarez, the mother of Murray's youngest child, may follow them on the witness stand. Her testimony is especially important because the propofol Murray used on Jackson was shipped to her Santa Monica, California, apartment.
Alvarez, 29, who met Murray around 2005 in a Las Vegas gentlemen's club, made it clear when she previously testified that she knew little about the doctor's activities.
"Dr. Murray and I were on a need-to-know basis, and I just know my place and my position in his life," Alvarez said.
Murray called Alvarez from the ambulance as he accompanied Jackson to the hospital, according to testimony in the preliminary hearing.
Dr. Thao Nguyen, a cardiologist who was part of the emergency room personnel trying to save Jackson, may also testify Monday. Nguyen described it as an "orderly, organized activity" with five or six people present in the preliminary hearing.
"He asked me not to give up easily and try my best to save the patient," Nguyen said of Murray. They placed a balloon pump in Jackson's aorta in an unsuccessful effort to restart his heart.
Murray "appeared devastated" when they failed, Nguyen testified.
Dr. Richelle Cooper, the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center emergency room doctor who pronounced Jackson dead, will be the first on the witness stand Monday morning, continuing her testimony that started Friday.
"He was clinically dead," Cooper said about Jackson when he arrived. "He did not have a pulse."
Jackson had "signs of a dying heart" when he was rolled into the trauma center after an ambulance ride from his home, Cooper said.
Murray told Cooper that Jackson's cardiac arrest came after he gave him two doses of lorazepam -- a sedative, Cooper testified. Murray did not mention using propofol, she said.
On Friday, two Los Angeles County paramedics who responded to the delayed 911 call from Jackson's home testified that Jackson was "flatlined" and appeared dead when they arrived.
Paramedic Richard Senneff testified that Murray told responders he had only given Jackson a dose of lorazepam to help him sleep and that he was treating him for dehydration and exhaustion, with no mention of the propofol.
Prosecutors contend one of the acts that makes Murray criminally responsible for Jackson's death was that he misled the paramedics and ER doctors by not telling them he had given his patient propofol before he stopped breathing.
The judge imposed a gag order Friday, preventing lawyers for Murray from talking to reporters about the case. His order came after he learned Matt Alford, a law partner to lead defense lawyer Ed Chernoff, gave a television interview to NBC's Ann Curry on Friday morning.
If convicted of involuntary manslaughter, Murray could spend four years in a California prison and lose his medical license. -

Girlfriends bald in Prozess gegen Michael Jacksons Arzt
Von Alan Herzog, CNN
3. Oktober 2011 - Updated 1004 GMT (1804 HKT)
Los Angeles (dpa) - Die Juroren in der Studie von Dr. Conrad Murray hören Montag von zwei Notfall-Raum Ärzte, die Michael Jackson ins Leben zurückzuholen, bevor erklärte die Pop-Ikone tot versucht.
Staatsanwälte sind auch erwartet, dass drei von Dr. Murray Freundinnen in den Zeugenstand rufen, um über ihre Gespräche mit Murray sprechen, kurz bevor er Jackson hatte aufgehört zu atmen realisiert.
Montag ist der fünfte Tag des Zeugnisses in fahrlässiger Tötung Murray-Studie, die voraussichtlich auf mindestens vier Wochen ist.
Die Studie wird ohne Jacksons Mutter wieder aufzunehmen. Katherine Jackson verließ Los Angeles für Kanada mit ihrem Sohn den drei Kindern am Wochenende bis Sonntag die Premiere der Cirque du Soleil "Michael Jackson: The Immortal World Tour" besuchen in Montreal.
Eine Quelle in der Nähe der Jackson-Familie sagte, sie würde nicht auf den Versuch zurück bis mindestens 10. Oktober, da sie auch nach Cardiff, Wales, reisen für ein Tribute-Konzert für ihres verstorbenen Sohnes.
Staatsanwälte argumentieren, Murray, Jacksons Leibarzt war, wie er für die geplanten Comeback-Konzerte vorbereitet, ist strafrechtlich verantwortlich für die Sängerin Tod wegen ärztlicher Kunstfehler und seine rücksichtslose Nutzung der OP-Narkosemittel Propofol zu Jackson Schlaf zu helfen.
Der Gerichtsmediziner entschieden, dass Jacksons 25. Juni 2009, der Tod das Ergebnis von "akuten Propofol-Vergiftung" in Kombination mit Sedativa wurde.
Der Richter wies Anwälte nicht zu ihrem Zeugnis Liste vor der Zeit offen zu legen. Allerdings hat die Staatsanwaltschaft wurde nach der gleichen Reihenfolge der Zeugen in Vorverhandlung Murray im Januar eingesetzt.
Zwei Handy-Firma Vertretern wird erwartet, dass Anrufe in und aus Murrays Handys am Morgen Jackson starb, von Los Angeles Police Detective der Mordkommission Dan Myers, der LAPD-Sonde von Jacksons Tod führte, gefolgt skizzieren.
Los Angeles County Coroner Investigator Elissa Fleak wird wahrscheinlich innerhalb der nächsten zwei oder drei Tagen bezeugen zur Suche Jacksons Heimat nach seinem Tod. Sie sagte bei der Vorverhandlung, dass sie sieben Pille Flaschen auf dem Nachttisch neben Jackson das Bett und eine leere Flasche von Propofol auf dem Boden neben seinem Bett gefunden.
Murrays Anwälte behaupten, Jackson ließ seinen eigenen Tod durch das Verschlucken von acht Lorazepam Pillen und oral Einnahme Propofol während Murray war aus dem Zimmer.
Die Freundinnen, die beginnen, bezeugen, sobald Montagnachmittag konnte, gehören Sade Anding, eine Cocktail-Kellnerin, die Murray kennengelernt, als sie bei einer Houston Steakhaus arbeitete. Anding sagte im Januar, dass sie am Telefon mit Murray, wenn er plötzlich nicht mehr reagiert, sie kurz vor Mittag des Tages Jackson starb.
Das ist der Moment Staatsanwälte behaupten, Murray zuerst realisiert, dass Jackson hatte aufgehört zu atmen. "Ich hörte ihn nicht am Telefon mehr", sagte Anding. "Ich hörte Lärm, als ob das Telefon in einer Tasche, und ich hörte Husten und ich hörte eine Gemurmel von Stimmen."
Anding, sagte sie blieb am Telefon für weitere fünf Minuten, Hören und fragen, warum der Mann, den sie manchmal datiert wurde nicht reagiert. "Hallo, hallo, bist du da?" sie bezeugt, sagte sie.
Der Zeitpunkt des Gesprächs ist der Schlüssel für die Verfolgung der Zeitleiste, wann Murray erkannte, dass seine berühmte Patientin im Sterben lag. Basierend auf Aussagen so weit, kam der Moment, an 11.57 Uhr
Bridgette Morgan, die Murray in einem Club traf im Jahr 2003 wird erwartet, dass über die Entwicklung einer sozialen Beziehung mit Murray sprechen. Sie sprach mit ihm am Telefon über 30 Minuten vor dem Murray offenbar feststellte, daß es ein Problem mit seinen Patienten.
Nicole Alvarez, die Mutter des jüngsten Kindes Murray ist, kann sie in den Zeugenstand zu folgen. Ihr Zeugnis ist besonders wichtig, weil die Propofol Murray auf Jackson verwendet werden, um ihr Santa Monica, Kalifornien, Wohnung geliefert wurde.
Alvarez, 29, der Murray etwa 2005 trafen sich in einem Las Vegas Herrenclub, deutlich gemacht, als sie sagten vorher, dass sie wenig über die ärztliche Tätigkeit kannte.
"Dr. Murray und ich waren auf dem Need-to-know-Prinzip, und ich weiß nur, meinen Platz und meine Position in seinem Leben", sagte Alvarez.
Murray namens Alvarez aus dem Krankenwagen, als er Jackson begleitet ins Krankenhaus, nach Aussage in der Vorverhandlung.
Dr. Thao Nguyen, ein Kardiologe, der Teil der Notaufnahme Personal versuchte, Jackson zu retten war, kann auch bezeugen, am Montag. Nguyen beschrieb es als einen "geordneten, organisierte Tätigkeit" mit fünf oder sechs Leute in der Vorverhandlung.
"Er bat mich, nicht so schnell aufgeben und versuchen mein Bestes, um den Patienten zu retten", sagte Nguyen von Murray. Sie stellten eine Ballonpumpe in Jacksons Aorta in einem erfolglosen Versuch, sein Herz neu zu starten.
Murray "erschien am Boden zerstört", wenn sie gescheitert, sagte Nguyen.
Dr. Richelle Cooper, der Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center Notaufnahme Arzt, der Jackson tot erklärt, wird die erste auf dem Zeugenstand Montagmorgen werden, weiterhin ihre Aussage, dass der Freitag begann.
"Er war klinisch tot", sagte Cooper über Jackson, als er ankam. "Er hatte keinen Puls."
Jackson hatte "Anzeichen einer sterbenden Herzens", wenn er in die Trauma-Zentrum nach einem Krankenwagen fahren aus seinem Haus gerollt, sagte Cooper.
Murray sagte Cooper, dass Jacksons Herzstillstand, nachdem er ihm zwei Dosen von Lorazepam kam - ein Beruhigungsmittel, Cooper bezeugte. Murray nicht erwähnt mit Propofol, sagte sie.
Am Freitag, bezeugte zwei Los Angeles County Sanitäter, die auf die verzögerte Anruf 911 von Jackson zu Hause antwortete, dass Jackson "flatlined" war und schien tot, als sie ankamen.
Paramedic Richard Senneff bezeugte, dass Murray Responder sagte er nur gegeben Jackson eine Dosis von Lorazepam zu helfen, ihm zu schlafen und dass er behandelte ihn zur Dehydrierung und Erschöpfung, ohne Erwähnung der Propofol.
Staatsanwälte behaupten, eine der Handlungen, die Murray strafrechtlich verantwortlich für Jacksons Tod war, dass er die Sanitäter und ER Ärzte getäuscht, indem nicht ihnen zu sagen, er habe seinem Patienten Propofol gegeben, bevor er aufgehört zu atmen lässt.
Der Richter verhängte ein Redeverbot Freitag, verhindert Anwälte für Murray von Reportern zu sprechen über den Fall. Sein Auftrag kam, nachdem er Matt Alford, ein Gesetz Partner gelernt, Verteidiger Ed Chernoff führen, gab ein Interview im Fernsehen zu NBC Ann Curry am Freitagmorgen.
Wenn der fahrlässigen Tötung verurteilt werden, könnte Murray vier Jahre lang in einem kalifornischen Gefängnis und verliert seine Approbation.Kommentar

Notärztin belastet Arzt von Michael Jackson
Der Leibarzt habe die Verabreichung des Narkosemittels Propofol verschwiegen

Die Notärztin, die Michael Jackson für tot erklären liess, hat den Leibarzt des Sängers schwer belastet. Der Herzspezialist Conrad Murray habe wichtige Informationen verschwiegen, sagte Richelle Cooper am Montag zu Beginn der zweiten Prozesswoche im Gericht von Los Angeles.
(sda/dpa) Der wegen fahrlässiger Tötung angeklagte Arzt habe ihr lediglich mitgeteilt, dass Jackson ein Beruhigungsmittel eingenommen hatte. Die Verabreichung des Narkosemittels Propofol habe er verschwiegen, sagte Cooper im Zeugenstand.
Jackson war an einer Vergiftung mit Propofol gestorben. Laut Anklage hat Murray «grob fahrlässig» gehandelt und den Tod durch das Verabreichen starker Medikamente herbeigeführt.
Gegensätzliche Aussagen
Die Verteidigung will dagegen beweisen, dass der Sänger am Todestag etliche Medikamente ohne Wissen seines Arzt eingenommen und sich damit versehentlich selbst getötet hatte.
Cooper hatte den Sänger am 25. Juni 2009 für tot erklärt, das erste Mal nach Telefonaten mit Sanitätern. Die hatten vergeblich versucht, den Sänger in dessen Haus wiederzubeleben.
Nach der Einlieferung ins Spital bemühten sich die Ärzte weiter um Jackson. Der Patient sei bereits tot gewesen, gab Cooper zu Protokoll.
Vorwürfe von Sanitätern
Ähnliche Vorwürfe hatten die zwölf Geschworenen bereits in der ersten Prozesswoche gehört. Ein Sanitäter, der ins Haus von Jackson gerufen worden war, sagte aus, Murray habe die starken Mittel, die der Sänger eingenommen hatte, verschwiegen.
Das Verfahren in Los Angeles kann sich nach Einschätzung des Richters über vier bis fünf Wochen hinziehen. Im Falle eines Schuldspruchs drohen Murray vier Jahre Haft.
Notärztin: Michael Jackson hätte im Krankenhaus nicht wiederbelebt werden können
03.10.2011 | 21:25
Laut Einschätzung einer Notärztin hätte Michael Jackson im Krankenhaus auch dann nicht wiederbelebt werden können, wenn die Verabreichung des Narkosemittels Propofol bekannt gewesen wäre. Wie die Ärztin, die den Popstar im Juni 2009 für tot erklärt hatte, am Montag vor Gericht erklärte, hätte diese Information wahrscheinlich nicht zu einer Rettung des Lebens von Jackson geführt. Dieser sei bei der Ankunft in der Notaufnahme bereits tot gewesen.
Der wegen fahrlässiger Tötung angeklagte Arzt des Sängers, Conrad Murray, wurde durch die Aussage seiner Kollegin jedoch dahingehend belastet, dass er die Verabreichung des Medikaments zunächst verschwiegen hatte. Murrays Anwälte versuchen eine Verurteilung zu verhindern, indem sie argumentieren, Jackson habe an seinem Todestag diverse Medikamente ohne das Wissen seines Arztes eingenommen. Der Prozess soll noch mindestens vier Wochen lang andauern.Zuletzt geändert von TrueCrypt; 04.10.2011, 05:23.Kommentar

Prozess gegen Jackson-Arzt
Murray soll Informationen unterschlagen haben
AFP
Angeklagter Murray: Von Ärztin belastet
Eine Notärztin hat Michael Jacksons früheren Leibarzt schwer belastet: Conrad Murray soll der Medizinerin verheimlicht haben, dass er dem Sänger ein starkes Betäubungsmittel verabreicht hatte. Allerdings hätte selbst diese Auskunft Jackson wohl nicht gerettet.
Los Angeles - Eine Notärztin hat im Prozess gegen den früheren Leibarzt Michael Jacksons den Vorwurf der Unterschlagung medizinisch wichtiger Informationen bestätigt. Am Todestag des Popsängers habe der Angeklagte Conrad Murray ihr gegenüber mit keinem Wort erwähnt, dass er Jackson das starke Betäubungsmittel Propofol verabreicht habe, sagte die Medizinerin Richelle Cooper.
ANZEIGE
Der Ärztin zufolge erwähnte Murray nur, er habe Jackson ein Beruhigungsmittel gegeben. Allerdings gab Cooper zu, dass selbst vollständige Informationen von Murray den Sänger vermutlich nicht gerettet hätten.
Cooper sagte, sie habe von Murray nie verlangt, die Todesurkunde zu unterschreiben, weil Jackson zum Zeitpunkt, als er ins Krankenhaus gebracht worden sei, ihr Patient gewesen sei. "Herr Jackson war mein Patient und ich hatte keine Erklärung für seinen Tod", sagte Cooper. Sie habe die Erlaubnis gegeben, Jackson für tot zu erklären; Murray habe gewollt, im Krankenhaus weitere Wiederbelebungsversuche durchzuführen. Laut Cooper war der Sänger "klinisch tot", als er in der Notaufnahme ankam.
In der vergangenen Woche hatten vor dem Gericht in Los Angeles bereits mehrere Sanitäter als Zeugen ausgesagt, Murray habe die Verwendung des Mittels nicht angegeben und auf Fragen nur ausweichend geantwortet.
Die Sanitäter und Cooper sind nicht die einzigen Zeugen, die Murray belasten. Ende September hatte bereits Jacksons früherer Leibwächter ausgesagt. Demnach soll Murray mit einer Hand versucht haben, den Musiker auf einem weichen Bett wiederzubeleben. Normalerweise wird eine Herz-Lungen-Massage auf einer harten Unterlage mit beiden Händen durchgeführt. Der Leibwächter war von Murray am 25. Juni 2009 zu Hilfe gerufen worden, als Jackson leblos in seinem Schlafzimmer lag.
Laut Anklage hat Murray "grob fahrlässig" gehandelt und den Tod durch das Verabreichen starker Medikamente herbeigeführt. Murray weist jede Schuld von sich. Die Verteidigung will beweisen, dass der Sänger am Todestag sich selbst den tödlichen Cocktail aus Propofol und Lorazepam verabreichte, nachdem der Arzt den Raum verlassen hatte. Im Falle eines Schuldspruchs drohen Murray vier Jahre Haft und der Entzug seiner Approbation.Kommentar

People vs. Dr. Conrad Murray
UCLA Doc:
Murray Lost Track of Time
UCLA Cardiologist -- Dr. Thao Nguyen Testifies
Updated 10/03/11 at 11:48 AM
Dr. Thao Nguyen -- the cardiologist who was called into MJ's trauma room -- said Dr. Murray was fuzzy on the crucial moments leading up to MJ's death, saying, Murray "did not have any concept of time."
She said Murray couldn't remember when he administered Lorazepam, or when MJ stopped breathing ... because, as he told her, he didn't have a watch.
Dr. Nguyen also said Murray looked "devastated" and "desperate" when he begged doctors to "not give up easily" on MJ.
Dr. Joanne Pashard, a Houston doctor who shared a patient with Dr. Murray, took the stand. She testified that on the morning of MJ's death, she called Murray to ask him some information about his former patient and he had no problem remembering specific details about the patient.
Bridgette Morgan -- a friend of Murray's -- took the stand. She said she called Murray on his cell phone the morning Michael went into distress.
Doctor at Murray trial: Jackson couldn't have been revived in ER
By Alan Duke, CNN
October 3, 2011 -- Updated 2356 GMT (0756 HKT)
Los Angeles (CNN) -- The emergency room doctor who declared Michael Jackson dead testified Monday in the involuntary manslaughter trial of Dr. Conrad Murray that there was no way doctors could have revived the pop icon after he arrived at the hospital.
Dr. Richelle Cooper testified Friday that Murray never told her that he had given Jackson the surgical anesthetic propofol before he stopped breathing, but she said Monday it would not have made a difference if he had because Jackson "had died long before."
"It is unlikely with that information that I would have been able to do something different that would have changed the outcome," Cooper said.
Prosecutors argue that Murray's failure to tell paramedics and doctors trying to resuscitate Jackson about the propofol is one of the negligent acts that make him criminally responsible for Jackson's death.
Doctor: Jackson was 'clinically dead' Murray patient not referred to new doctor Nguyen: 'Murray had no concept of time' Nguyen: Murray told doctors of pulse
Another doctor testified Monday that the decision to place an aortic balloon pump in Jackson's heart was "a desperate attempt, even though very much futile" effort intended "to prepare Dr. Murray mentally to accept the fact that Mr. Jackson could not be rescued and would allow Mr. Jackson to depart in peace and dignity."
Dr. Thao Nguyen said Murray asked that "we not to give up easily and try to save Mr. Michael Jackson's life," Nguyen said, even though it seemed hopeless.
They placed a balloon pump in Jackson's aorta in an unsuccessful effort to restart his heart, she said. "It's not a case of too little, too late, but a case of too late," Nguyen said.
Monday was the fifth day of testimony in Murray's involuntary manslaughter trial, which is expected to last at least four more weeks.
The trial resumed without Jackson's mother. Katherine Jackson left Los Angeles for Canada with her son's three children during the weekend to attend Sunday's premiere of Cirque du Soleil's "Michael Jackson: The Immortal World Tour" in Montreal. A source close to the Jackson family said she would not return to the trial at least until October 10, since she will also travel to Cardiff, Wales, for a tribute concert for her late son.
Jackson family members in court Monday morning included siblings Janet, Rebe, Randy and Jermaine.
Prosecutors argue that Murray, who was Jackson's personal physician as he prepared for planned comeback concerts, is criminally responsible for the singer's death because of medical negligence and his reckless use of propofol to help Jackson sleep.
The coroner ruled that Jackson's June 25, 2009, death was the result of "acute propofol intoxication" in combination with sedatives.
Dr. Cooper had recommended at 12:57 p.m., when Jackson was still at his home, that paramedics stop resuscitation efforts and declare him dead. Jackson was the first patient she had ever treated in the emergency room after having made such a recommendation to paramedics in the field, she said.
"I have never given a time of death in the field and then have that patient brought to me," she said.
She said this exception was not because Jackson was a celebrity, but because the patient had a physician with them who did not want them to give up.
Prosecutors have criticized Murray, who is a cardiologist, for using propofol on Jackson, contending it should be used only by anesthesiologists who have proper monitoring equipment.
Legal analysis of Murray case How important is Conrad Murray's trial? Tyrese Gibson's message to Dr. Murray
Cooper, a prosecution witness, acknowledged under questioning by defense lawyer Michael Flanagan that she uses it regularly as an emergency room doctor.
A Houston, Texas, doctor called by the prosecution Monday paid Dr. Murray a compliment Monday afternoon, saying she was "impressed" with Murray's ability to remember a patient and that patient's treatment when she called him "out of the blue."
Dr. Joanne Bednarz-Prashad's testimony was important for the prosecution because she is one of the several people who spoke to Dr. Murray on the phone the morning Jackson died. Prosecutors say he effectively abandoned Jackson by leaving his bedroom to talk on the phone that morning.
Dr. Bednarz-Prashad called Murray's cell phone to get his advice on a patient he had treated who was about to undergo surgery at a Houston hospital. Most doctors she calls in such circumstances have to call back after consulting medical charts, she said, but Murray recalled the correct information immediately.
Prosecutors also called the first of three of Murray's girlfriends to the witness stand to talk about their conversations with the doctor just before he realized Jackson had stopped breathing
The judge prevented the prosecution from digging into the personal relationship between Murray and Bridgette Morgan, who previously testified at Murray's preliminary hearing about meeting the married doctor in a Las Vegas night club in 2003.
Morgan's call to Murray came about 30 minutes before Murray apparently discovered there was a problem with his patient.
Sade Anding, a cocktail waitress who met Murray when she was working at a Houston steakhouse, is likely to be one of the first witnesses Tuesday. Anding testified in January that she was on the phone with Murray when he suddenly stopped responding to her just before noon the day Jackson died.
That is the moment prosecutors contend Murray first realized that Jackson had stopped breathing. "I didn't hear him on the phone any more," Anding said. "I heard commotion as if the phone was in a pocket and I heard coughing and I heard a mumbling of voices."
Anding said she stayed on the phone for another five minutes, listening and wondering why the man she sometimes dated wasn't responding. "Hello, hello, are you there?" she testified she said.
The timing of the phone call is key to the prosecution's time line of when Murray realized his famous patient was dying. Based on testimony so far, the moment came at 11:57 p.m.
Nicole Alvarez, the mother of Murray's youngest child, may follow them on the witness stand. Her testimony is especially important because the propofol Murray used on Jackson was shipped to her Santa Monica, California, apartment.
Alvarez, 29, who met Murray around 2005 in a Las Vegas gentlemen's club, made it clear when she previously testified that she knew little about the doctor's activities.
"Dr. Murray and I were on a need-to-know basis, and I just know my place and my position in his life," Alvarez said.
Murray called Alvarez from the ambulance as he accompanied Jackson to the hospital, according to testimony in the preliminary hearing.
Representatives from two cell phone companies testified Monday morning about records of calls to and from Murray's cell phones the morning Jackson died. The call times play a key role in determining the time line of what Murray was doing in the hours before Jackson's death.
The judge instructed lawyers not to disclose their witness list ahead of time. However, the prosecution has been following the same order of witnesses used in Murray's preliminary hearing in January.
Los Angeles Police homicide Detective Dan Myers, who led the Los Angeles Police Department investigation of Jackson's death, is likely to testify Tuesday or Wednesday.
Los Angeles County Coroner Investigator Elissa Fleak will probably testify within the next two days about searching Jackson's home after his death. She said at the preliminary hearing that she found seven pill bottles on the nightstand next to Jackson's bed and an empty bottle of propofol on the floor near his bed.
Murray's defense lawyers contend Jackson caused his own death by swallowing eight lorazepam pills and orally ingesting propofol while Murray was out of the room.
The judge imposed a gag order Friday, preventing lawyers for Murray from talking to reporters about the case. His order came after he learned Matt Alford, a law partner to lead defense lawyer Ed Chernoff, gave a television interview to NBC's Ann Curry on Friday morning.
If convicted of involuntary manslaughter, Murray could spend four years in a California prison and lose his medical license.Kommentar

Murray Trial Day 5 October 3, 2011
Morning Session
Dr. Richelle Cooper Resumption of Direct by David Walgren
[ATTACH=CONFIG]48780[/ATTACH]
Cooper states that CM indicated he had given MJ 4 miligrams of lorazepam, with no mention of propofol. Cooper states that there were over 14 people in the room where MJ was at UCLA, but that she had the final say over everything that happened in the room. Cooper states that she was aware that paramedics have given "starter drugs" at the Carolwood home and also during transport to UCLA. Cooper states that at UCLA, epinephrine, sodium bicarbonate, vasopressin were all given to try to restart MJ's heart. Dopamine was given in a drip. Cooper states that chest compressions were given from time of arrival.
Cooper states MJ arrived at 1:13 pm and was death was called 2:26, chest compressions were given continuously throughout. Cooper states MJ had an endotracheal tube, and a respiratory therapist was squeezing an ambu- bag to pump oxygen into MJ's lungs throughout. Cooper also states that MJ was hooked to monitors throughout. Cooper states that during this hour and thirteen minutes, from the time MJ arrived at UCLA, until the time of death was called, she never felt a pulse. Cooper states that when compressions were going on, they could feel a pulse. But, that a spontaneous pulse (when there are no chest compressions going on) was not found by her. Cooper states at 13:21 (military time for 1:21) one of the staff reported a pulse, but when Cooper consulted the monitor it was not consistent with a pulse.
Cooper states that she made the decision at 2:26 pm to call the time of death, even though she called time of death at the Carolwood home at 12:57 pm. Cooper states that from 12:57 pm to 2:26 pm there had been no notable change in MJ's condition. Cooper states that she noticed a condom catheter on MJ's body. Cooper states that condom catheters are used to collect urine when unconscious. Cooper states that the condom catheter was unusual for a 50 year old male who was reportedly healthy.
Cooper states that she did not request Murray to sign a death certificate, because MJ was her patient.
Cooper states she did not have a reason for MJ's death and therefore MJ's case would be a coroner's case. Cooper states that there was a social work team to help with the family even before the time of MJ's death was called. Cooper states that the social work team is standard care for UCLA, not initiated by Conrad Murray. Cooper states that she was notified that MJ's children were aware that their father was dead. Cooper states that she saw the children, that they were scared and that they were fairly hysterical, and taken care of by someone referred to as their nurse.
Defense Cross
Cooper states she does not know exactly time of death for MJ, she bases it on what the paramedics told her, and called time of death at 12:57 pm. Cooper states based on the information she had, she believed MJ to be dead at 12:57 pm. Cooper states that she could override Murray's request to continue to try to revive Murray, but she allowed Murray to make that call. Cooper states that her assessment when MJ arrived, he was clinically dead and that any revival would be futile. Cooper stated that Murray claimed there was a pulse, so she continued efforts to save MJ.
Cooper states she was never an anesthesiologist, but she has used propofol, at UCLA you need to have privileges. Cooper states she always practices medicine in a hospital emergency room setting. Cooper states that in her use of propofol, she uses amounts that are based by case. Cooper states that she chooses a dose that will make a patient comfortable, so that the patient does not feel pain. Cooper states she never used propofol as a pre-med student. Cooper states that if 25 mg of propofol was slowly infused in 3-5 minutes, on a patient at 135 pounds, and he received no other medications, she believes if she achieved sedation, he would wake up in seven to ten minutes. Cooper does not believe that the propofol would be completely metabolized in seven minutes. Cooper states that 25 mg is very small, and would not be sufficient to sedate a patient.
Cooper states that Murray stated he witnessed MJ's cardiac arrest. Cooper states that she never asked what time the lorazepam was given to MJ. Cooper states that she previously testified that Murray stated he witnessed MJ's cardiac arrest. Cooper states that the half life of benzodiazepines varies greatly.
Cooper has been to courses in procedural sedation, she has administered procedural sedation, and reviews articles on procedural sedation. Cooper states that on a healthy patient, she would start sedation at a mg per kg dose, and in MJ's case that would be 60 mg, it would keep them asleep for about 10 minutes.
Cooper states that if Murray had told her that he had given 25 mg of propofol at 10:40, it would have not changed how she treated MJ as a patient. Cooper states that MJ died long before he became her patient.
Cooper states that Murray stated that he thought MJ was dehydrated, had given him lorazepam, and had witnessed MJ's cardiac arrest. Cooper states that Murray told her MJ took Flomax which is typically taken for a urinary problem.
Cooper states that while it is normal to take a rectal temperature, but Cooper cannot recall if it was done. Cooper states that rectal temperature would not tell her time of death. Cooper states that there is a protocol for LA county paramedics, with 20 minutes of revival procedures, after 20 minutes with no change, it's time to call time of death. Cooper states that this is the first time that paramedics have ever asked her to continue revival procedure after she tells them to call the time of death.
Cooper states that she does not recall Murray being frantic, but to be honest, she does not pay that much attention to someone other than the patient. Cooper does not recall much about Murray's demeanor, except that Murray was respectful in that he was not allowed to do procedures in the emergency room. Cooper states that Murray and a Dr. Cruz had a conversation, which she did not hear, but then the aortic pump was inserted. Cooper states that there was no urine present in the condom catheter or the collection bag. Cooper states that had there been urine, Cooper would have sent it to the lab to be analyzed.
Walgren Redirect
Cooper states that she assumed that Conrad Murray was not lying to her. Cooper states that Murray told her that MJ was working hard, was dehydrated and he had given him lorazepam. Cooper states that all physicians do not have propofol privileges. Cooper states that they have equipment set up within a room and outside a room for issues arising in a patient who has received propofol. Cooper states that there is always an attending physician present, plus other physicians when administering propofol or another anesthetic agent.
Defense Cross
Cooper states that when administering propofol, it should go in as a slow infusion through a bolus. Cooper states that a direct injection of propofol would cause apnea, although she has never seen a direct injection done. Cooper states that continual propofol usage is rare.
Walgren Redirect
Cooper states that she is prepared as a an emergency physician to intubate patients or attend to patient's airway during procedural sedation.
Defense Recross
Cooper states she has never had a patient stop breathing during a procedural sedation. Cooper states that if there is a problem, the first thing to do is to stimulate the patient, meaning wake the patient up and that that is almost always sufficient. Cooper states that if a doctor was to administer 60 mgs to 60 kg patient, the doctor would be able to see insufficient breathing right away, that it could be determined by seeing, but that capnography would be able to detect a breathing problem first.

Gourjian Defense cross
Dixon states the records do not identify who is using the phone. Dixon states that there is no way to identify what is said in a text message sent from any AT&T phone (referring to data activity). Dixon states that he does not know, as of today, who own the cell phones that Murray called on June 25, 2009. Essentially, Dixon states that he can tell if calls went to voicemail or they were answered only if they made from or to AT&T phones.
Dixon states that regarding data usage, the data is set automatically, in this case, it was set at 1:04 am, 2:04 am, 3:04 am, 4:04 am, 5:04 am and 6:04 am.
11:07 am, phone call to Murray's call, Dixon states that he cannot tell whether the call was answered or it went to voicemail. Dixon then looks to his records, looking specifically at the duration of the call, and states it is identified as an incoming call, length is 1 minute, but he still cannot tell if it went to voicemail or answered.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]48783[/ATTACH]
Dr. Nguyen states she works at UCLA as a cardiologist/scientist. Nguyen 20% of her time spent as a cardiologist, 80% of her time she researches. Nguyen states that in June, 2009, she was a cardiology fellow. Cooper states her responsibilities included taking care of patients that were critically ill in CCU at UCLA, managing patients and supervising her was Dr. Daniel Cruz.
Cooper states she was called into the emergency room at UCLA to help with the patient MJ. Cooper states she received a page that the ER needed help with a VIP patient, named Michael Jackson. Nguyen states that Dr. Cooper was treating MJ when she arrived at the emergency room. Nguyen states that Murray introduced himself to her as MJ's private physician. Nguyen asked Murray what happened, and Murray replied that MJ was very tired, he was preparing for a concert tour. Nguyen states that she asked Murray if there were any drugs given, Murray stated 4 mg of Ativan (another name for lorazepam). Nguyen asked if any other medications were given, Murray stated no other medications given.
Nguyen states that she asked what time the Ativan was given, Murray stated he did not know. Nguyen states that Murray told him he found MJ not breathing, Nguyen asked what time was that, Murray stated he did not know. Nguyen states that she then asked Murray what time was 911 called, Murray stated he did not know, he had no concept of time because he did not have a watch. Nguyen states she asked for an estimate from Murray from the time he found him not breathing to the time he called 911, Murray was not able.
Nguyen states that Murray never mentioned propofol to her. Nguyen states that after receiving from Murray, she consulted Dr. Cruz. Murray told them that he found a pulse, but Dr. Nguyen nor Dr. Cruz found a pulse. Murray asked both Nguyen and Cruz to continue to try to revive MJ, to not give up easily. Nguyen states that the next thing to do to try to revive MJ is to use a balloon pump for MJ's heart. Nguyen states that she feared they were running too late, that time was not on MJ's side.

Walgren Direct continued
What is a balloon pump? It is inserted into aorta to help heart. She was doubtful that it would help. It looked like time wasn't on MJ's side and he looked lifeless. She went forward with the balloon pump to show good faith. TN and Dr. Cruz (attenting cardiologist) could not felt a pulse but CM told them he felt a pulse and asked them not to give up easily on MJ and try to save his life. TN and Dr. Cruz moved forward with balloon pump even though they thought it was futile. Dr. Cruz decided and authorizated the ballon pump. It was quite smoothly placed but the attempt was futile.
Before they did the balloon pump placement, they made an agreement with CM that this would be the last attempt to save MJ and if it didn't work they would stop the efforts.
Dr. Nguyen: "We wanted Mr. Jackson to depart with dignity and respect, so we decided to end our efforts. "
Shortly after the balloon pump MJ was pronounced dead.
CM did not mention propofol during all these balloon pump efforts.
Defense Flanagan cross
TN was called a minute before 1:35. TN remembers the time because she looked to her pager. TN was on the 7th floor in the rounding room of cardiac care. She talked to Dr. Cooper when she came into the trauma bay and Dr. Cooper pointed and introduced her to CM saying that CM is the physican for MJ.
TN knew the patient was MJ because page she received was a code for "VIP named Michael Jackson".
TN talked and asked CM first because he was the primary source . She always goes to the source and then talks to ucla attending doctor (Dr. cooper).
CM said to TN that MJ was having hard time sleeping, MJ was tired because of preparation/ rehearsal for the concert tour and MJ asked for sleeping aid. CM told TN that he gave MJ "Ativan 4 mg IV" .
CM didn't tell her that he gave it in 2 seperate doses. CM didn't mention Valium or Flomax and said no when she asked if there was any other sedatives and narcotics involved. CM did not recall the time when gave Ativan to MJ. CM didnot remember the time of the arrest. CM did not recall when he called EMS.
TN had some concerns: 1)time was not on their side 2) IV for insomnia for outpatient setting is quite uncommon. The dosage wasn't too high but there was a lifeless patient.
4mg of Ativan by IV would put a person to sleep. TN would start with 1 mg by a mouth. IV would be stronger than by mouth usage. She wouldn't use Ativan in outpatient setting and even inpatient setting because they are better drugs that are non-sedatives and non-narcotics.
Recommended dosage for Ativan is 2 -4 mg by mouth for an adult. 2 mg Ativan by IV would put a patient to sleep pretty quick in 5-7 minutes depending on the patient. If a person is used the drug before it can take them longer to sleep. Ativan half time is 12 +- 5 hours. TN says the amount of sleep would depend on the patient and the conditions. She says that normally people would be able to sleep through the night with that dose.
Defense asks about the second dose of 2mg Ativan and if it would put the person to sleep. TN says yes if the person has not developed higher tolerance , if they had a high tolerance they would need higher dosage. TN also mentions that the even though a person's tolerance to drug could increase, their body's tolereance level to toxicty wouldn't increase.
Defense asks 20 mg Ativan IV, TN says that it's a really high dose. Defense asks if it would kill a person. TN says that Ativan affects the brain and will make the brain sleepy (depress the consciousness) and it would not tell the diaphragm to breath.
Defense talks about half life of Ativan. Defense asks if Ativan would be expected in to be present in blood at 12:00PM if 2mg is given at 2 AM and 5 AM.
Defense asks if they would watch the patient if they gave them Ativan. TN says that multiple people watch them until they would gain total consciousness.
Slurry speech is mentioned and TN says that it would be an affect of Ativan. TN has used Propofol. She says that they don't hear slurred speech in Propofol.
CM sounded desperate and looked devastated. CM said "Do not give up easily, please save his life".
There was no pulse but TN didn't know how long he didn't have pulse. TN believed when she was called to come down, CPR was partially successful. All TN knows when she came down MJ appeared lifeless and TN and Dr. Cruz could not find a pulse. There was typically no reason to use a balloon pump.
TN says as CM was there and he was trained and knew how to take pulse so TN gave CM the benefit of the doubt and believed when he said he felt a pulse.
Defense asks when they did the balloon pump. She says that they got the equipment in 5-7 minutes and did the balloon pump immediately after they got the equipment.
Defense again goes over the agreement they did with CM to do balloon pump and stop if it doesn't work. TN repeats multiple times of her previous explanations.
TN says she asked CM if he gave anthing to reverse the effect of atrivan. Later TN explains the drug Flumazenil. 0.2 mg to prevent the further depression of the brain. To reverse the effect of Ativan it should be given immediately like in seconds. Defense questions about window of opportunity. TN says seconds to minutes (2-3 minutes). TN says you can 100% reverse Ativan but if you wait too long then you would zero chance to reverse it. It must be given as soon as you find the patient. TN says that antidote should be to be at hand when giving Ativan to a patient. TN says the next step will be to incubate the patient and to be put on a ventilator to breathe.
Defense asks is she would expect 4 mg Ativan need Flumazenil. TN says she would not typically expect any complications in a person that is accustomed to the drug and tolerant to it. TN adds that anything can happen and they always use it at a monitored environment with oxygen on board.
Walgren redirect
TN use propofol at the hospital but uses an anesthesiologist in procedures. TN says at least 3 people will be in the room - cardiologist,anesthesiologist and a nurse. TN says Propofol will be administered in a hospital setting and furthermore only in an ICU or procedure room. TN also mentions that it would be administered in a designated place, with designated personnel and necessary equipment. TN says that crash cart should be available. TN says she wouldn't administer Propofol without the necessary equipment.
TN mentions Propofol can cause negative effects and that it doesn't have an antidote so that they should be prepared for the worst when giving Propofol before they even start administering it. TN mentions it's a must.
Flanagan recross
Defense asks if Propofol can be used for other reasons than procedures. Defense asks if TN knows conscious sedation. Defense mentions that TN only used Propofol during a procedure so divided the responsibility with anesthesiologist and asks if there's no procedure could she give it alone (be in charge of giving Propofol). TN replies " I don't use Propofol when there's no procedure being done". Flanagan says that's because she never practiced outside a hospital. TN says she does work outside a hospital setting and she would never use Propofol in an outpatient setting.
Defense asks how much Propofol she would give to someone MJ's size. TN says that it would depend the conditions and if other sedatives were used.
Flanagan states Propofol being commonly used outside hospital setting. TN disagrees , Flanagan asks if TN knows Propofol being given at a dentist offices and gastroenterologist, TN says she was not aware of it and never asked what they gave and wasn't interested. TN says that she was only concerned with what is given to her.

Walgren asks TN if she has ever heard Propofol being used in someone's home in a private residence, she says that's a first.
Dr. Joanne Prashad (JP) Testimony

Brazil Direct
JP Internal medicine physician for 9 years at a Houston Hospital.
JP was called to evaluate a patient for a surgery to see if the patient can undergo surgery. JP generally sees the patient, takes their medical history, does a physical exam and she would review medical charts. The patient had a recent surgery done by CM, CM had placed a stent to an artery on his leg to keep a blood vessel open. Patient was taking medications (Plavix) which was a concern for the surgeon and the anesthologist.
Patient had an open wound on the leg that went to the bone. If they do the surgery the wound would additional bleed. The concern was that if the patient could continue to take Plavix or not.
The stent was put into 4.5 months ago. JP saw that he was taking plavix medicine , generally it's taken for 6 months. She needed to learn if the medicine could be stopped. JP wanted to ask CM what was his opinion about this patient and if she can tell the patient to stop the plavix and have the surgery.
Brazil questions about medical chart and asks if they are important. JP says they are important because they can get the accurate medical information from them. Patient generally don't know the details of the medications and previous procedures.
Shee called CM's office and was given a phone number it was a answering service. She called the office again and was given a second phone number. JP called the second number and explains her reason for calling and she asked if this patient needs to continue to take Plavix or if they can stop it and the patient can have the surgery. CM was clear, he said the patient need to continue the medicine for 6 months and postpone the surgery until that the time period was over. CM properly told the medicine dosage and his treatment plan.
She was surpised that she called out of the blue and he was able to give an answer. Generally doctors would say they need to review the chart and call back. CM was clear about the treatment and about the need for the medication.
10:20 AM . It was a brief call. CM provided the information she needed. She decided to postpone the procedure based on the information she got from CM.
