Staatsanwaltschaft beschwört Schicksal von Jacksons Kindern

Schlussplädoyers im Prozess gegen Jacksons früheren Arzt Conrad Murray. Die Anklage wirft dem 58-jährigen Mediziner Fahrlässige Tötung vor.

Los Angeles. Im Prozess gegen den früheren Arzt von Michael Jackson hat Staatsanwalt David Walgren am Donnerstag in seinem Schlussplädoyer das Schicksal von Jacksons Kindern beschworen, die nun ohne Vater aufwachsen müssten. Die Anklage wirft dem 58-jährigen Mediziner Conrad Murray Fahrlässige Tötung vor. Er soll Jackson am Morgen seines Todes im Juni 2009 eine Überdosis des Betäubungsmittels Propofol verabreicht haben. Murray beteuert seine Unschuld.

Walgren appellierte an die Geschworenen, sie müssten Murray schuldig sprechen, da die Beweise gegen ihn «überwältigend» seien. Immer wieder brachte er Jacksons Kinder ins Spiel, an die Jackson in seinen letzten Tagen immer gedacht habe. Die Kinder seien auch die treibende Kraft hinter der geplanten Serie von Comeback-Konzerten von Jackson gewesen, erklärte Walgren.

Für die Kinder werde dieser Fall ewig weitergehen, sagte Walgren, «denn sie haben wegen der Handlungen von Conrad Murray keinen Vater mehr». Er erinnerte die Geschworenen auch daran, wie Jacksons Tochter Paris auf Murray gestoßen sei, der verzweifelt versucht habe, den leblosen Vater wiederzubeleben. Dabei schrie sie «Daddy!»

Murray hat die Schuld für den Tod Jacksons von sich gewiesen. Vor Gericht äußerte er sich nicht. Bei einer Verurteilung muss er mit vier Jahren Haft und dem Entzug seiner Lizenz als Arzt rechnen. Nach der Anklage haben aber noch Murrays Verteidiger das Wort.

03.11.2011: Prozess: 23. Tag – Geschworeneninstruktion (1. Teil)

Der Prozess nähert sich dem Ende. Alle Zeugen wurden befragt, alle Beweismittel präsentiert. Am Anfang des heutigen Prozesstages verlas Richter Pastor für die Geschworenen in einem halbstündigen Statement die Instruktionen für die bevorstehende Beratung. Er machte den Geschworenen u.a. klar, dass es nur an ihnen liegt zu entscheiden, ob eine Tatsache durch die Beweise bestätigt wurde. Er betonte auch, dass in einem Strafverfahren die Unschuldsvermutung gilt und somit der Anklage die Beweislast obliegt, dass gestützt auf die dargelegte Gesamtbeweislage keine begründeten Zweifel an der Schuld des Angeklagten bestehen (“guilty beyond reasonable doubt”). Als Beweise gelten nur die Aussagen der Zeugen, während die Fragen der Anwälte zu ignorieren sind. Sowohl direkte Beweise als auch Indizienbeweise (sog. indirekte Beweise) sind zulässig. Bei der Beurteilung der Beweise sei es auch wichtig, gesunden Menschenverstand anzuwenden, so Richter Pastor. So auch, wenn sich gewisse Beweise widersprechen. Richter Pastor hielt ebenfalls fest, dass der Angeklagte das verfassungsmässige Recht habe nicht auszusagen (um sich dabei nicht selbst zu belasten). Wenn sich der Angeklagte dafür entscheidet von seinem Recht Gebrauch zu machen, dürfe dies von den Geschworenen nicht gegen ihn verwendet werden. Wenn die Geschworenen Kenntnis davon haben, dass der Angeklagte vor dem Prozess eine irreführende Aussage gemacht hat, kann dies ein Indiz für seine Schuld sein; es gilt ist jedoch kein Beweis für seine Schuld.

Dem Angeklagten, Dr. Conrad Murray, wird fahrlässige Tötung vorgeworfen basierend auf den folgenden zwei Punkten:

1. Der Angeklagte hat bei einer rechtmässige Handlung strafrechtlich fahrlässig gehandelt (dh. Seine Handlung weicht stark ab davon, wie sich eine ordnungsgemässe Person, die sich in der gleichen Situation befunden hätte, verhalten hätte).
2. Der Angeklagte hat es unterlassen, seiner gesetzlichen Verpflichtung nachzukommen und diese Unterlassung war strafrechtlich fahrlässig.

Um zu beweisen, dass der Anklagte dieser Straftat schuldig ist, gelten für die Geschworenen folgende vier Punkte zu beachten:

1. Der Angeklagte hatte gegenüber Michael Jackson eine gesetzlichen Verpflichtung.
2. Der Angeklagte hat es unterlassen, seine gesetzlichen Verpflichtung wahrzunehmen.
3. Das Fehlverhalten von Dr. Conrad Murray war strafrechtlich fahrlässig.
4. Der Angeklagte hat durch die Vernachlässigung seiner gesetzlichen Verpflichtung den Tod von Michael Jackson verursacht

Ferner muss der Tod von Michael Jackson eine direkte Folge aus der Handlung oder Unterlassung in der Wahrnehmung der gesetzlichen Verpflichtung des Angeklagten sein. Diese Handlung oder Unterlassung muss substantiell für den Tod von Michael Jackson verantwortlich sein, muss aber nicht die einzige Todesursache sein. Der Angeklagte muss somit die Möglichkeit der tödlichen Konsequenzen seiner Handlung oder Unterlassung vorausgesehen haben. Wenn der Angeklagte jedoch aus Versehen gehandelt hat in Ausübung seiner gesetzlichen Verpflichtung, ist er nicht schuldig. Um den Angeklagten schuldig zu sprechen, müssen die Geschworenen einen einstimmigen Entschluss fassen. Das heisst, es müssen sich alle Geschworenen einig sein, dass mindestens eine Handlung oder Unterlassung von Dr. Conrad Murray den Tod von Michael Jackson verursacht hat.

Im Anschluss an die richterlichen Instruktionen hielt die Staatsanwaltschaft ihr Schlussplädoyer, von dem wir im Detail in einem zweiten Teil berichten werden. Stay tuned.

Michael Jackson trial goes to the jury after they're told the star 'had children he loved who were robbed because of Conrad Murray'

* Meanwhile defence lawyer questioned whether the trial would exist if the victim had not been Michael Jackson
* Jury begins deliberations on Friday morning

By David Gardner In Los Angeles

Last updated at 11:23 PM on 3rd November 2011

Conrad Murray's criminally negligent care of Michael Jackson robbed the King of Pop's three children of their father, a court heard today.

'For Michael's children, this case will go on forever, because they do not have a father,' prosecutor David Walgren told jurors in his closing speech in the trial of Jackson's private doctor.

'The evidence in this case is abundantly clear - that Conrad Murray caused the death of Michael Jackson and that Conrad Murray left Prince, Paris and Blanket without a father.

'They do not have a father because of the actions of Conrad Murray," he added.

The Los Angeles Deputy District Attorney told the hushed courtroom how Jackson's daughter, Paris, now 13, discovered Murray frantically trying to revive her father in his bedroom and screamed out 'Daddy!'

The children have not been in court during the five-week trial, but Jackson's parents, Joe and Katherine, were in the public gallery yesterday along with siblings LaToya and Randy.

Murray showed no emotion as he was accused by the prosecutor of breaking the 'hallowed trust' of the relationship between a doctor and his patient.

'Conrad Murray is criminally liable. Justice demands a guilty verdict,' he said.

'Michael Jackson trusted Conrad Murray. He trusted him with his life. He trusted him with his own life and with the future lives of his children. Conrad Murray corrupted that relationship and because of that, Michael Jackson paid with his life,' the prosecutor added. He said the evidence in the case was 'overwhelming' that

Murray has pleaded not guilty to involuntary manslaughter by injecting Jackson with a lethal dose of the hospital anaesthetic propofol.

Mr Walgren claimed Murray's administration of the powerful drug to treat Jackson's chronic insomnia was an 'obscene experiment.'

He said Murray should never have given propofol to Jackson outside a hospital setting and then criminally botched his resuscitation efforts after Jackson stopped breathing and lied to paramedics and hospital doctors to try and cover up his own guilt.

He condemned the cardiologist's delay in calling 911 as 'bizarre.'

'What on earth would motivate a medical doctor to delay making that call other than self preservation?' he asked the jury of seven men and five women.

'He knew his acts killed Michael Jackson. Maybe he's panicked, maybe he's cleaning up. But he's putting Conrad Murray first. He's intentionally not calling 911. He's intentionally delaying help that could have saved Michael Jackson's life.' The prosecutor blasted the defence claim that Jackson injected himself with the deadly knock-out drug as 'junk science.'

He also attacked anaesthesiologist Dr Paul White, the star defence witness, for 'sullying' the trial with his 'garbage' theories and flimsy research trying to support the suggestion that Jackson died at his own hand.

Michael Jackson was 'optimistic and excited' about his upcoming 'This is it' concerts at London's O2 Arena and was looking forward to the future and performing for the first time in front of his children,' he said.

But just 12 hours after his final, exuberant rehearsal the star was 'lying in his bed, palms up, his head tilted to the side, dead in his bedroom.

'Michael Jackson was not reckless. He had a life ahead of him. He had three children he loved dearly,' said Mr Walgren.

'He wanted propofol to help him sleep. He wanted a doctor with eyes on him to keep him safe,' he added.

Defence lawyer Ed Chernoff questioned whether the case would have ever been launched if the victim had not been Michael Jackson.

'We have been dancing around this for six weeks, maybe two years. Somebody has got to just say it - if it were anybody else but Michael Jackson would this doctor be here today?' he said.

'There is a tremendous desire to paint Dr Murray as the villain. They want to paint this perfect villain and this perfect victim. But there is not perfect villain and no perfect victim.

'He was just a little fish in a big dirty pond,' he added.

'Dr Murray's greatest defect is his greatest strength. He got brought into this situation because he thought he could help. He thought he could help Michael Jackson succeed. He thought he could help Michael Jackson sleep. He was wrong.'

Mr Chernoff said the prosecution 'is trying to convict Dr Murray for the actions of Michael Jackson.'

Murray insists that his star client self-administered a lethal dose of the drug propofol after the doctor left him alone for a couple of minutes while he went to the toilet.

Mr Chernoff said Murray gave Jackson a safe amount of propofol and was not using an IV drip, as the prosecution speculated.

'It doesn't matter if you go outside and play basketball or if you leave the patient or if you are on the phone, it doesn't matter. Dr Murray did not kill Michael Jackson,' he told the court.

He said it was ridiculous to suggest Murray delayed calling 911 when the doctor was desperately treeing to revive his patient.

Mr Chernoff complained that prosecutors were claiming everything was a deviation of the standard of medical care because Murray 'has to go down.'

He said a prosecution witness who compared Murray leaving Jackson alone in his bed to leaving a baby on a counter top was 'the most insulting thing' you could say about the star.

'Michael Jackson was an adult and he made his own decisions. He had plans for the future and he knew what he was doing.

'This is not a reality show. This is real life,' he added.

The jury will start its deliberations Friday morning after a final speech by prosecutor David Walgren.

'Poor Conrad Murray,' said Mr Walgren, who angrily denounced the doctor's 'bizarre behaviour.
'If they had time to argue I am sure they would haver found a way of blaming Michale Jackson's son, Prince,' he added.

'Everything this doctor did was bizarre. None of it was consistent with a trained medical doctor who was putting his patient first.

'What is unusual is that Michael Jackson lived as long as he did under the care of Conrad Murray.

'Michael Jackson is dead and we have to hear about poor Conrad Murray and how no doctor knows what it was like to be in his shoes. You've got that right.'

The way Murray treated with propofol in his bedroom 'has never been seen before, ever,' he added.

Mr Walgren also said Murray lied to Jackson's mother, Katherine, when he 'pulled a chair up next to her in hospital and told he he didn't know what happened' to her son on the day he died.

Michael Jackson trial comes to an end as jury is told the pop star 'he had children he loved who were robbed because of Conrad Murray'

Case against Michael Jackson's doctor goes to jury

(CBS/AP) LOS ANGELES - The case against Michael Jackson's personal physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, was put in the hands of a California jury Thursday, with deliberations set to begin the next morning.

The seven-man, five-woman panel got the case after spirited, daylong closing arguments by a prosecutor and defense attorney.

Deputy District Attorney David Walgren invoked Jackson's children early in his final statement, saying that the singer had them in mind in his final days and that was a driving force behind his planned series of comeback concerts.

Walgren said the case will never end for Jackson's three children and that fault lies with Murray. He said the Houston-based cardiologist caused Jackson's death and left the singer's children, Prince, Paris and Blanket, without a father.

Walgren urged jurors to convict Murray of involuntary manslaughter in connection with Jackson's death on June 25, 2009.

Defense attorney Ed Chernoff said prosecutors hadn't proven that Murray committed a crime by giving Jackson doses of the anesthetic propofol as a sleep aid in the singer's bedroom.

"They want you to convict Dr. Murray for the actions of Michael Jackson," Chernoff said.

Murray has pleaded not guilty and faces up to four years behind bars and the loss of his medical license if he's convicted.

The seven-man, five-woman jury has listened appeared to listen closely throughout the six-week trial, which featured 49 witnesses and some complex medical testimony. They also heard several audio recordings, including one of Jackson himself in which his speech was slow and slurred, as well as Murray's lengthy interview with police detectives.

Michael Jackson Doctor's Trial: A Timeline

Prosecutors took their time bringing Conrad Murray to trial for involuntary manslaughter.

Michael Jackson Doctor's Trial: A Timeline

Prosecutors took their time bringing Conrad Murray to trial for involuntary manslaughter.

By Gil Kaufman

It's hard to believe that nearly 2 1/2 years have passed since Michael Jackson's death. But, because the wheels of justice grind especially slowly when it comes to celebrity trials, we are just now on the cusp of a verdict in the involuntary manslaughter case of Jackson's doctor, Conrad Murray.

Murray, the Texas cardiologist handpicked by Jackson to be his personal physician in the lead-up to the pop icon's 2009 This Is It comeback shows, spent three weeks listening to prosecutors disparage his treatment of Jackson in the hours before the singer's death. But his path to infamy began years before that fateful June 25, 2009, morning when he called Jackson's assistant in a panic.

The pair first met in 2006, when Jackson was living in Las Vegas — where Murray has a clinic — and called the doctor seeking treatment for one of his children. They became friendly, and Jackson turned to Murray in early 2009 when he was attempting to get into fighting shape to launch his first major concert series in more than a decade. Jackson, then 50, agreed to pay Murray $150,000 a month to serve as his personal physician before and during the 50-date engagement at the O2 arena in London.

Here's a timeline of Murray's trial:

One week before Jackson's death: Murray and members of the AEG Live team promoting the concert meet to discuss Jackson's fitness for the shows, and Murray allegedly says the singer is ready and healthy.

June 24, 2009: Jackson, who reportedly suffered from insomnia, returns from a rehearsal late at night and attempts to fall asleep.

June 25, 2009: Unable to sleep, Jackson asks Murray to give him a series of doses of the surgical anesthetic propofol and other sedatives in order to get to sleep. After hours of fitful sleep, Jackson goes into cardiac arrest, and Murray scrambles to try to save his client's life, waiting more than 30 minutes to call 911.

June 27, 2009: Murray and his lawyer voluntarily speak to police investigators for more than two hours and lay out the events of the morning Jackson died. This interview will become one of the key pieces of evidence in the prosecution's case.

July 17, 2009: Los Angeles District Attorney's office announces it is treating Jackson's death as a homicide.

July 23, 2009: Investigators file for a search warrant for Murray's property.

July 29, 2009 : Los Angeles police and DEA agents cart away several plastic bins and manila envelopes of evidence from Murray's home in Las Vegas.

November 20, 2009: Search-warrant records show that investigators found receipts in Murray's Las Vegas clinic for purchases of propofol in May 2009.

January 7, 2010: Los Angeles coroner's office announces that Jackson's official cause of death is "acute propofol intoxication" and his death is ruled a homicide. The report also shows a number of other sedatives in Jackson's system at the time of his death.

February 8, 2010: Murray pleads not guilty to involuntary manslaughter charges and is released on $75,000 bail after turning himself in to authorities.

June 14, 2010: A judge denies a request from the California Medical Board to strip Murray of his California medical license.

November 30, 2010: Michael's father, Joseph, refiles his wrongful-death lawsuit against Murray and the Las Vegas pharmacy that sold the physician propofol.

January 25, 2011: Murray pleads not guilty to a single charge of involuntary manslaughter and his trial date is set for March 28.

March 24, 2011: Jury selection in the trial begins with a pool of more than 300 potential jurors.

April 29, 2011: The trial is delayed until September at the request of Murray's legal team, citing more time needed to line up defense experts.

September 23, 2011: The jury for the trial is seated.

September 27-30, 2011: The trial begins with opening statements that include a recording from Murray's cell phone in which Jackson's voice is slurred and lethargic. The first four days of testimony detail the chaotic scene after Jackson's death, a security guard describing Murray's request to put vials of propofol in a bag and testimony from two emergency room technicians about what Murray told them when Jackson arrived at UCLA hospital.

October 3-7, 2011: ER doctors explain that Murray never told them he'd administered propofol to Jackson and a string of Murray's former and current girlfriends testify about the calls the doctor made to them in the hours and minutes before and after Jackson's death. The jury hears more of the Jackson recording, including his desire to build a children's hospital and the fateful recording of Murray's two-hour talk with investigators.

October 10-12, 2011: Jurors hear from medical experts who claim Murray was not prepared to give proper care to Jackson and did not follow protocol when his patient went into distress.

October 21, 2011: The prosecution wraps up its case with testimony from propofol expert Dr. Steven Shafer, who lays out 17 mistakes he believes Murray made in his care for Jackson.

October 24-28, 2011: Murray's defense team calls witnesses to discuss the 911 call placed by the doctor and LAPD detectives to refute statements made by Jackson's bodyguard about Murray allegedly hiding evidence.

October 31-November 1, 2011: Murray's defense team continues questioning its final expert, propofol expert Dr. Paul White, who suggested that Jackson had injected himself with the drug while the doctor was not in the room. White admitted that Murray's medical care for Jackson was out of the ordinary.

November 3, 2011: Closing arguments begin.

Schlussplädoyers im Prozess um Tod von Michael Jackson

Schlussplädoyers im Prozess um Tod von Michael Jackson

(AFP) – Vor 5 Stunden

Los Angeles — Mit dem Beginn der Schlussplädoyers ist der Prozess um den Tod von US-Popstar Michael Jackson in die letzte Phase gegangen. Kurz bevor sich die Geschworenen zu ihren Beratungen über das Urteil zurückziehen sollten, bekräftigte die Staatsanwaltschaft vor dem Gericht in Los Angeles ihre Überzeugung, wonach der wegen fahrlässiger Tötung angeklagte Leibarzt Conrad Murray schuld am Tod des "Kind of Pop" ist.

Die Beweislage sei erdrückend, sagte Staatsanwalt David Walgren. Murray habe mit "krimineller Nachlässigkeit" gehandelt. Er habe Jacksons Tod im Juni 2009 verursacht, er sei verantwortlich dafür, dass Jacksons Kinder Prince, Paris und Blanket keinen Vater mehr hätten.

"Für sie endet dieser Fall nicht heute, morgen oder am nächsten Tag, für Michaels Kinder wird dieser Fall ewig dauern, denn sie haben keinen Vater mehr", sagte der Staatsanwalt. "Sie haben keinen Vater wegen der Taten von Conrad Murray."

Laut Anklageschrift soll der 58-jährige Arzt dem Popstar als Einschlafhilfe eine Überdosis des Schlafmittels Propofol gespritzt und ihn dann vernachlässigt haben. Das Argument der Verteidigung, Jackson sei medikamentenabhängig gewesen und könne sich das tödliche Propofol selbst verabreicht haben, als Murray nicht im Raum war, ließ Walgren nicht gelten: Der Arzt habe die Pflicht, über die Medikamente seines Patienten zu wachen. "Der Arzt ist der Entscheider", sagte er. "Der Arzt verfügt über das medizinische Wissen (...) und entscheidet letztlich über das Wohlergeben des Patienten." Nach der Anklage sollte Murrays Verteidiger Ed Chernoff das Wort erhalten.

Nach den Schlussplädoyers muss sich dann die Jury zu ihren Beratungen zurückziehen. Richter Michael Pastor las den sieben Frauen und Männern ihre Leitlinien vor und betonte, es gelte zunächst die Unschuldsvermutung. Pastor verlas auch noch einmal die Anklageschrift und erläuterte den Vorwurf der "kriminellen Vernachlässigung", wonach jemand so nachlässig handelt, dass er einen anderen Menschen schwer verletzt oder tötet.

In dem Ende September begonnenen Prozess sagten insgesamt 49 Zeugen aus, darunter medizinische Sachverständige, Ärzte und Sanitäter. Im Falle eines Schuldspruchs wegen fahrlässiger Tötung drohen Murray bis zu vier Jahre Haft.

Murray Trial Day 23, November 3, 2011

Morning Session

Court starts with Judge Pastor reading the jury instructions.

Judge tells the jurors the evidence that contain medical items will not be in the jury room but it will be brought to them by a bailiff if they ask.

Important points from jury instructions
- Pastor tells the jurors they must follow his instructions about the law even though they might not agree with it.
- Pastor says People need to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt. He explains that it doesn’t need to eliminate all possible doubt.
- Pastor says what the attorneys say and ask aren’t evidence.
- Pastor says things can be proved by direct or circumstantial evidence. He says they are equal.
- Pastor says if they can come to 2 reasonable conclusions – one showing innocence and the other one showing guilt- they must find the defendant not guilty.
- Pastor says they can find the witness testimony truthful or not – in full or in partial.
- Pastor says people can forget or make mistakes and 2 people can witness the same thing but remember it differently.
- Pastor says in regards to expert witnesses their education, qualifications, the information they relied on while forming their opinion and why they made a certain statement should be considered.
- Pastor says character witness testimony can be considered and can create a reasonable doubt.
- Pastor tells the jurors not to be influenced by the fact that Murray didn’t testify.
- Pastor explains involuntary manslaughter. People claim that Murray did 1) committed a lawful act with criminal negligence and 2) failed to provide a legal duty with criminal negligence.
- Pastor tells that there could be more than one cause of death and it’s required that the actions of Murray must be a substantial factor in causing the death. It doesn’t need to be the only factor.
- Pastor says Michael could have failed to use reasonable care and may have contributed to death. However if Murray’s actions were substantial he’s still responsible for the death.

David Walgren Closing Statement

Walgren starts by thanking the jurors to their services.

Walgren mentions that CM does not need to be the sole cause of MJ’s death; he only needs to be a substantial factor.

Walgren says that CM caused MJ’s death and left Prince, Paris and Blanket without a father. “For Prince, Paris and Blanket this trial will not end today for them it will go on forever”.

Walgren mentions trust and the relationship between a doctor and patient and “do no harm”. Doctor decides what the proper care is for the patient. All the doctors testified said they would never do such thing. Walgren expresses that CM violated that trust between doctor and patient "each and every day."

CM was an employee for money. “MJ trusted CM. He trusted him with his life. He trusted CM with his individual life and the future lives of his children. CM would care for him as he slept so in the morning he could share a meal with his children”. “MJ paid with his life”.

On June 24, 2009 MJ performed at the Staples Center and gave a great performance. He was optimistic and looking for future. 12 short hours later he was laying dead in his bed palms up, had tilted to the side – dead - in his home.

MJ was a 50 year old man anxious about the upcoming tour. MJ wanted to satisfy his fans that have been loyal to him for so long, his family, and his children. MJ was a creative genius who was striving for perfection. He was looking to the future. He was making long term plans for both himself and his children to whom he was so dedicated.

MJ wanted to share his message with the world. He wanted to satisfy his fans. He wanted his children to see him perform.

For MJ his children were paramount. He wanted a house for his children so they wouldn’t be cooped up in a hotel. MJ wanted to do a movie based on Thriller and wanted to direct movies. MJ wanted to open a children's hospital. He wanted to give this to the world. He had plans and hopes and dreams.

The tour would have expanded around the world. He was excited his kids would get to see their dad perform in London. But none of this came to be because on June 25, 2009, MJ just 50 years old was pronounced dead. Paris had to see her dead in that situation and scream “daddy”, Prince was shocked. That’s what CM did to MJ and his kids.

Walgren mentions that CM is charged with IVM and Walgren goes over the law. Walgren says there could still be questions unanswered and they only need to answer 3 questions.

The law recognizes the special relationship between doctor and patient. Doctors have a legal duty of care to their patients and the failure to act on that duty would be IVM. Walgren goes over criminal negligence and causation.

Walgren mentions that the defense’s theory is MJ injected himself with Propofol and caused his death. Walgren says CM is criminally negligent if he could have foreseen what happened. By his own admission, Conrad Murray knew MJ liked to push his own Propofol. He should have never left him alone in a room full of drugs. Walgren says even if true, it was foreseeable.

Walgren says misleading statements can show guilt. Dr. Murray made misleading statements when he failed to tell paramedics and doctors he administered Propofol. That is consciousness of guilt. “That is putting CM first”. Walgren says CM was intentionally giving false statements.
Walgren goes over the background of the case. CM had signed a contract. He was going to get $150,000 a month and housing. CM sent letters to his patients saying he was taking a sabbatical and ceasing practicing medicine “indefinitely”.

Walgren goes over the shipments of medicine and he told jurors that CM ordered more than four gallons of Propofol and had it shipped to his girlfriend's apartment in LA.

Walgren mentions May 10 recording. CM says he realized there was a problem in June but the recording was 1.5 months ago. Murray couldn't bother to keep records ... but had no problem recording a drugged up MJ and then for some reason keeping it.

Even in vulnerable state MJ talks about the future and his desires. He’s talking about a children’s hospital. He has no reason to believe that anyone will hear him; he’s talking about his true feelings and his true desires.

2 days after that recording, CM orders the largest shipment of drugs. Walgren says that they couldn’t find the other propofol bottles with search warrants.

At a meeting in early June, Murray assures everyone MJ is doing just fine. On June 19, 2009, director Kenny Ortega is so concerned about MJ's health and sent him home. Ortega sends an urgent email to Randy Phillips saying MJ is in a bad state. Ortega tried to reach CM but couldn’t. June 20th meeting CM was upset that MJ was sent home. CM insists MJ is doing fine ... lashing out at Ortega for sending MJ home from rehearsal. Murray sternly told Ortega to mind his own business. “Unfortunately, that's what happened”.

On June 21, 2009, MJ was complaining he was half hot and half cold. FM called a nurse who told them MJ needed to go to the hospital.

On June 23 MJ performed at the Staples Center. By all accounts it was a great performance. There was light at the end of the tunnel. MJ's last rehearsal on June 24 was, again, a success. Everyone was excited that the tour was going to finally happen. MJ was particularly excited about the "illusion" that was to be performed the next day. Walgren goes over MJ’s final goodbyes with Ortega and Phillips.

CM’s version of events changed. June 25th he said he witnessed the arrest. After MJ's death an arrangement was made to meet with CM at Marina del Rey. CM was there with his lawyers. At this point, investigators knew very little. The cause of the death had not yet been determined. Detectives were working in the dark. They sat down to listen to Conrad Murray to listen to what he had to say. Detectives did not have medical knowledge. CM told detectives he was giving MJ Propofol. When detectives ask how frequently did this happen? Murray tells them every day. CM admitted he gave MJ 50 mg Propofol injections followed by a drip almost every night for two months.

During his interview, CM told cops he was worried about giving MJ Propofol at 10:00 am because MJ had to be up at noon -- 2 hours later. CM says he agreed to give Propofol when MJ said he didn’t need to get up at noon. This suggests that CM intended to give MJ a drip, because a 25 mg injection would only put someone to sleep for 5 minutes. CM intended to knock him out.

Walgren says CM didn’t call 911 and it’s bizarre and he aimed to protect himself. CM never called 911 because, as he claimed, speaking to an operator would be negligent ... so what does he do instead? He calls Michael Amir Williams and leaves him a message. Setting aside all the other bizarre behavior, all he needed to say was, "Call 911..." but he didn't. CM knew what he did and his actions killed MJ. Walgren says CM intentionally didn’t call 911.

Walgren goes over CM’s phone records and emails. Walgren asks jurors if they believe MJ was paying him $150,000 and awake and complaining and CM was away on the phone. Walgren suggests that CM was able to spend all that time on the phone because MJ was asleep on a drip.

Walgren asks why CM called his female friend Sade Anding at that time. What was so pressing to call her? Sade Anding heard voices in the background at the exact time Murray drops the phone. “Was Conrad Murray in another room? How long was MJ in that condition? Was MJ calling for help? Did he gasp? Did he choke? We don't know ... and we'll never know.”

Alberto Alvarez comes to the home. CM grabs vials of medicine and instructs him to put them in a bag. Only then does CM asks him to call 911. It took 20 + minutes to call 911. FM finds the children crying. Paramedics responded in 4 minutes. They were a mile and a half away. Walgren says CM put himself first and put MJ last. Blount was able to get ventilation quickly but it was too late.

As paramedics transport MJ to the ambulance, Senneff finds Murray is picking stuff off the floor and putting it in a trash bag. Walgren asks the jurors to why? They were trying to get MJ to the hospital but CM was in the room alone picking up stuff. Walgren mentions CM’s cargo pants pockets.

In the hospital doctors ask CM what drugs administered ... again CM never mentioned Propofol. After MJ was pronounced dead, CM is concerned about retrieving a "cream" which he claimed MJ didn't want people to know about. Walgren says CM knows that his bags, drugs, syringes were at the house. CM was not concerned about a cream... he was worried about himself.

Walgren mentions that detectives found the bags because CM told them where they were. Walgren says CM went into this interview assuming the police had found his bags. He came forward for the self preservation of CM. CM thought his bags were discovered. He knew the toxicology report was about to be completed. He came forward to get ahead of the story. Unfortunately his story doesn't match up with the evidence.

Walgren switches to standard of care. “Every single doctor has told you they would never have done what Murray did.”

Propofol should be used in a highly monitored setting. No one had ever heard of anyone using Propofol in a bedroom EVER until CM. There’s no backup. It's an egregious violation of medical care. It's gross criminal negligence. Walgren says the setting is direct cause for MJ’s death.
Propofol is not used for insomnia. The article the defense used is written after MJ’s death.

Walgren mentions the equipment needed and being able to use them. None of the required equipments was there. Again this was criminal negligence.

Walgren goes over the abandonment and the patient should not be left alone because things can happen very quickly. Murray's preoccupation with emails, texts and calls constitute abandonment.

Walgren says benzos contributed. Walgren mentions what White said about variability and that’s why all the precautions was needed because you cannot know how a patient would react.

CM kept record in the previous years but he didn’t do for his last 2 months treatment. CM chose not to keep any medical records because he didn't want his bizarre treatment to be documented.

CM deceived the paramedics and the doctors at UCLA Medical Center.

Walgren says there had been some speculation with scenarios as they had no medical records. Dr. Steven Shafer said the most likely scenario is that Murray gave Jackson a drip. It's based on the evidence such as the propofol shipments, a cut saline bag, Propofol bottle with CM’s finger prints on it and a spike tear. It’s not unusual Murray admitted he did that every night, a 50 mg injection followed by a drip.

Walgren says it was perhaps MJ’s idea to put the bottle in the saline bag to hide it.

Walgren says drip theory explains the blood levels and phone evidence. Walgren says CM was an employee and it’s unrealistic to think that MJ was lying there complaining and CM was ignoring him and being on the phone. MJ wasn't complaining he couldn't fall asleep because he was asleep because CM put him on a drip.

White’s theories of self injection and lorazepam pills happened during not in 2 minutes but during other times of abandonment.

CM's former patients say he was a good doctor. They were all treated in a hospital for heart conditions CM was trained to do. Walgren mentions we didn’t hear from CM’s current patients and how they felt about receiving the letter and feeling abandoned.

Walgren plays defense's own witness Dr. Allan Metzger’s statement that he said there no amount of money would get him to agree to give Propofol in a bedroom. Lee’s statement is played in which she says MJ told him he would be safe as long as he’s monitored by a doctor.

Walgren says there’s no evidence to suggest that MJ seek propofol without a doctor present. MJ was not reckless. He had a life ahead of him. He had 3 children he loved dearly. He wanted Propofol to sleep but he also wanted a doctor monitoring him at all time to be safe.

Walgren mentions that Lorazepam is a controlled substance and it should be kept under lock and key and their usage has to be recorded.

Defense expert Dr. Paul White presented was junk science. It was garbage. It was sad for science and for truth seeking. White has been consistent to blame MJ. When he’s debunked by Dr.Shafer, he goes and picks another theory.

Walgren goes over what White said about the Beagle study under direct and cross. During direct by Flanagan White says it was his idea. During Walgren’s cross he says he had nothing to do anything with it and didn’t study it.

White during testimony said he would not administer Propofol in a home setting, a pulse oximeter without an alarm has no value, he wouldn’t leave a patient that liked to push to Propofol alone and he would have called 911 earlier.

Walgren says White didn’t do the models, didn’t provide any information for the models, he didn’t read the article and he’s not an expert in this area. Walgren says he didn’t research or studied. Walgren says the theories constantly changed.

Walgren mentions the IV tubing is very compact and concealable. Walgren later plays the video of Flanagan asking White if he has another IV line and White pulling one out of his pocket. Walgren says the IV line was concealable.

Walgren mentions the 1988 article was old and the 2002 article confirms Shafer’s theory of IV drip and debunks the defense’s self administration theory.

MJ trusted CM. He trusted him with his life. He paid with his life. CM lied, deceived, obscured but more importantly. CM acted with negligence and he looked out for himself. That's not what a doctor does. CM action directly caused MJ's death. But the People do not need to prove that because all it needs to be proven is that CM is a substantial factor in death. Even if you accept defense's facts CM should still be held responsible.

Walgren ask the jury to find Murray guilty of manslaughter because he abandoned his patient. "Justice demands a guilty verdict," he concluded.

lunch break

Murray Trial Day 23 , November 3 2011

Afternoon Session

Ed Chernoff Closing arguments

- Walgren's argument is exactly why we have a jury trial in America.

- Walgren gave bits and pieces of statements from witnesses regarding propofol, rather than the whole context.

- Defense team has never stated that Conrad Murray did not make mistakes. But this case is not a medical board hearing or a civil lawsuit. For a crime to be proven, the prosecution has to show that Conrad Murray actually killed MJ. Prosecution must show criminal negligence, but also the specific act was the cause of death, otherwise this is not a crime.

- What defense believes is that Murray found MJ in distress, at 12 pm. The very first thing Murray did was try to revive MJ. At 11:51 Sade Anding received a phone call from Murray. From Anding's testimony defense believes she listened for about 2 minutes before hanging up. From 11:18 am until 12 noon, Murray was on the phone. If Murray had found MJ anywhere between 11:18 am and noon, the same thing would have happened that Sade Anding reported when she was on the phone with him (Murray would have dropped the phone and tried to revive MJ). Defense states that from 11:18 am to 12 noon, Murray never found MJ not breathing.

- The nature of propofol, is a 10 minute drug. The only way to keep propofol actually working after that is through an IV drip or IV injection. The prosecution spent 6 weeks trying to prove a drip theory, because the evidence proves that Murray injected propofol into MJ's IV prior to him leaving the room. The prosecution wants the jury to convict Conrad Murray for Michael Jackson's actions.

-Alberto Alvarez stated that he has had a hard time finding steady employment since MJ died, and that he was offered $500,000 for his story. Alvarez stated when he first talked to police, all he claimed he did was call 911. But when Alvarez spoke to police in August 2009, he then stated he comforted the children, he hid evidence for Murray and he comforted the children. The story became monumentally more compelling and valuable. Chernoff asks the jury if they honestly believe that Alberto Alvarez, after this trial is over, is not going to cash in on MJ's death story?

-Alvarez stated that he grabbed MJ's legs, Murray got MJ's shoulders and they took him and placed him on the floor. Alvarez stated that Murray asked him to take the IV bag off the stand and that there was a milky substance in the bag, but when tested there was nothing in the bag. Chernoff reminds the jury that the EMT's stated that they found MJ on the floor not the bed.

-The problem with prosecution theory starts with Alvarez inconsistencies, but moves on to Elyssa Fleak, and that she never mentioned a bottle in a bag originally. In the notes that she didn't destroy, there is no mention of a propofol bottle inside a cut IV bag, and there are no photos of it either. Fleak only mentions it 18 months later in testimony.

-Detective Smith, who Chernoff claims is a methodical, consummate professional, took notes of a smaller bottle of Lorazepam with an IV bag inside a bag fromt eh room where MJ died but did not remember seeing a vial of propofol inside a cut IV bag. Chernoff says that the reason Smith never saw it is because it never existed.

-April, 2011: Alvarez is interviewed by LAPD, and draws a picture of the IV bag. Chernoff states that the tubing, the IV bag, insinuating that LAPD coached Alvarez into drawing a bag that was similar to the bags the LAPD had at the interview. Chernoff states that the prosecution's theory was solidified then.

-Chernoff questions Dr. Shafer's testimony: stating that the IV tubing was hung to prove the prosecution's theory that Murray used an IV drip. Chernoff states that the short tubing used for testimony is used for an IV drip, the short tubing that Murray claims he used would be for IV injection. Chernoff states that Shafer testified he was wrong the next day, even though Murray's life is on the line. Chernoff states that the short tubing is proven to be used by Murray from medical records that show Murray ordered the short tubing only, and no long tubing, therefore showing that Murray did in fact, use an injection IV rather than a drip IV.

-Chernoff states that Dr. Shafer is a pharmacokineticist first and an anesthesiologist second. Chernoff stated that the prosecution turned Shafer into a cop, and that Shafer stated what he believed he happened as if it were true, but it's merely opinion.

-Chernoff on Dr. White: White is completely honest and said when needed, I don't have those qualifications to comment on certain testimony, but Shafer never said that. Chernoff states that White knows more about propofol than Shafer will ever, ever know. White just tried to tell the jury the truth, for $11,000. Chernoff states that Shafer gave simulations, one right after another, and none of them have anything to do with the case except for one, and that one is because the defense asked him to do it. Shafer showed a rapid bolus demonstration, when nobody from the defense ever asked him to do that. Shafer worked backwards on his theory (from concentration to dose), and when someone does that, there are a million different outcomes.

-MJ could not have died from what Murray admitted he did (25 mg injection to IV) and Shafer admitted that. Chernoff questions whether Shafer is a scientist or a prosecution advocate.

-Chernoff states that prosecution cannot prove a crime. When Chernoff asked Shafer about oral Lorazepam ingestion, Shafer stated that MJ's stomach held 1/300th of a tablet. Chernoff states that defense knows MJ orally ingested Lorazepam, and that's Shafer's exhibits are nothing representative of any proof, it represents nothing.

-Chernoff states that there are two reasonable scenarios about Lorazepam. First is MJ went into his bathroom and swallowed Lorazepam and Murray didn't know. Chernoff states that if this case were about anyone else, Murray wouldn't be on trial.

-Chernoff states that Murray's patients were willing to come to court and testify in front of cameras for him. People that know Murray believe that he could never have a disregard for human life as prosecution has claimed.

-Chernoff states that if Murray is such a liar, why did he tell LAPD he had been giving MJ propofol for 60 days straight?

-Definition of criminal negligence: prosecution has shown negligence, in many different respects. Three aspects of criminal negligence (as stated on jury instructions) #1 With the act (of propofol in a home), is it the direct cause of MJ's death, and #3, is it the natural probable consequence of the act (the death).

-Chernoff states that it's easy in hindsight to say that Murray is a lousy doctor, but the prosecution witness doctors have never walked in Murray's shoes. It's easy to judge when people have a miniscule amount of compassion, but do not question his motives. Murray's biggest personality defect is his also his greatest strength; he thought he could help MJ, he thought he could help him sleep. But Murray was wrong, he was a little fish in a big dirty pond.

-Chernoff states that Murray had no idea why when he came back in the room, MJ looked like he was dead. Chernoff states that Murray should not have been expected to call 911 first, but to try to revive the patient (MJ) first. Chernoff states that Dr. Steinberg stated that maybe two minutes for revival, after that, it's a felony not to call 911.

-Chernoff states that Murray injected MJ with Flumanezil, runs down and gets Kai Chase, and then says that Chase got Prince I (MJ's oldest son), not Murray.

-Chernoff states that Steinberg stated that Murray performed substandard CPR, but it's based on testimony that the compressions were done on the bed. Chernoff states that compressions with Murray's hand behind MJ's back, and one hand compressing MJ's chest is not a violation of standard of care. Chernoff states that the prosecution stated Murray deviated from care from the standard of care because he did not provide sufficient for MJ, but Chernoff states that an ambubag was on the floor. Chernoff states that every single thing Murray did, the prosecution claimed that it was a deviation from the standard of care.

-Chernoff states that the prosecution brought in MJ's kids to gain sympathy. He states that the prosecution brought in Nicole Alvarez for no reason. He states that the prosecution wants to paint a perfect villain and a perfect victim, but there are neither. Chernoff states that the only reason that the fact that Murray helped with the press release at the time of MJ's death was because the defense brought it into testimony.

-Chernoff states that it is believable that Murray wanted to back to MJ's house from the hospital the day MJ died because his car was there, and it was believable that he wanted to go eat. What is not believable is that Murray wanted to go back to the house to get some cream, that Amir Williams was so disturbed by that, that he locked the house down, but never mentioned it to the police.

-Chernoff plays the voicemail from Frank Dileo to Conrad Murray again (6/19/09 stating that MJ had an episode, he was sick and Murray should get a blood test on MJ)

-Chernoff states that MJ was under tremendous, abnormal, impossible pressure from AEG. Chernoff concedes that giving propofol in the home was not an appropriate thing to do. But Murray gave an uncontrolled substance, not Demerol, to MJ. Chernoff states that when Murray went home, the other life of MJ took over.

-Chernoff repeats Steinberg's testimony that Murray giving propofol to MJ was "like a baby on a countertop". Chernoff states that this was insulting MJ, as if MJ was a baby, couldn't make contracts for himself, couldn't raise his children for himself, because he was just a baby. Chernoff asks if Murray was supposed to watch MJ all the time to save him from himself?

-Chernoff states to take this case away from MJ, in a psych unit, and some patient kills himself, overdoses. If jury is going to hold Murray responsible, don't do it because it's MJ. This is not a reality show, it's reality, and it's how it affects a real person and the people who love him.

David Walgren Rebuttal Closing

-Walgren states that they are not on trial because the victim is MJ.

-Criminal gross negligence, giving propofol, which is known for respiratory depression, as a one man operation, no safety measures, nothing. Bizarre, unethical, unconscionable behavior that has never been seen before, and that is why Murray is on trial.

- Murray's patients who were witnesses had the benefit of a hospital, a team, monitors and were being treated for heart conditions, MJ did not have any of those benefits. MJ was being treated for insomnia that Murray knew nothing about.

-Walgren questions why the witnesses that were called who were Murray's patients were patients from over a decade ago. Walgren questions why none of Murray's current patients were called to testify.

Walgren: "Poor Conrad Murray. Everyone is just working against him." Defense blamed Elyssa Fleak, Alberto Alvarez, Shafer, AEG, Randy Phillips, Michael Amir Williams, Kai Chase. "Poor Conrad Murray." Walgren states that witness Mr. Ruben states that Murray was grieving, Walgren states that is because it's about Murray and nobody else.

Walgren states defense contends that Alvarez and Fleak are lying, Shafer is a cop, Kai Chase failed to get security, and "if allowed more time I'm sure they would find a way to blame Michael's son, Prince." Everyone is to blame except for Conrad Murray, according to defense. If Alvarez wanted to lie, he could have done a lot better than a bizarre story with an IV bag and propofol inside of it. Walgren states defense is claiming it's a conspiracy between LAPD, bodyguards, and others to pin this on Murray. Poor Conrad Murray. Everything Conrad Murray did in his treatment was bizarre. Waited 20 minutes to call 911, bizarre. Gave propofol in home setting for 60 days, bizarre. Lied to EMT's and UCLA doctors about giving propofol, bizarre. Is it surprising that Murray had some usual setup for the saline bag? Walgren states nobody knows, but that MJ was sensitive to getting all of the medical stuff cleaned up each day so the children did not see it. Everything Murray did was bizarre, and none of it was consistent with a trained competent medical doctor, who was putting his patient first.

Walgren states defense blames MJ, that Murray left him alone. MJ sought out propofol to sleep, but only one doctor said yes to administering it. Poor Conrad Murray. MJ is dead. Poor Conrad Murray. Nobody knows what it's like to walk in his shoes. Walgren: "You got that right. Because I haven't seen a doctor in this case that said they would ever do what Conrad Murray did. Ever. Including the defense experts."

Walgren states that defense closing arguments said nothing about Dr. White's testimony because it was junk science. Shafer on the other hand, did this pro bono, and showed true science to show how MJ died.

Walgren states that Murray had a legal duty to provide the standard of care for his patient, MJ. If Murray hadn't have left the room, this wouldn't have happened. If Murray had attached a monitoring system to MJ, this wouldn't have happened. If Murray knew how to effectively revive a patient, this wouldn't have happened. The law says that causation only be a natural and probable consequence. If you administer propofol in a bedroom, a natural and probable consequence is that there could be death. It's a respiratory depressant, it has unpredictable effects as both Shafer and White says, it's dependent on your fasting, how much food you ate, other drugs in the system, how dehydrated you are. It is entirely foreseeable and predicatable that death would occur. White, defense witness stated that if he had a patient that liked to push propofol, he would not leave him alone.

Walgren states that Alvarez could have easily made up easier lies. There's no evidence that Alvarez had any animosity toward Murray, thought he was a good doctor until MJ died. Alvarez nor Fleak have any position in this case, no reason to lie.

Walgren states that Shafer provided all graphs and data to the defense at their request. Shafer told the truth.

Walgren states MJ's fingerprints were not on the syringe. Alvarez fingerprints aren't on the saline bag. Conrad Murray's fingerprint is on the propofol bottle found in the saline bag.

Walgren asks the jury to evaluate the lies Murray told: Murray lied to Ortega, Gongaware, Phillips, Jorrie that MJ was in great health. Murray emailed Bob Taylor in London and lied about MJ's health. MJ lied to EMT's , to UCLA Dr. Cooper and Dr. Nguyen. Murray lied to Tim Lopez, about the propofol being shipped to his clinic rather than Nicole Alvarez apartment. Murray lied when he said he insisted on an autopsy, when he played no role in that whatsoever. Murray lied when he said he got a social group together for the family at UCLA, when it is UCLA protocol. Murray lied when he said he pulled Katherine Jackson aside and asked if there was anything he could do, she asked what happened, and he said he didn't know. Poor Conrad Murray.

Walgren states law is clear about causation. Defense theory does not fit causation. Murray said he knew MJ was dependent on propofol, Murray said MJ liked to push the drug, and Murray was the one who gave MJ the valium, midazolam, lorazepam and the propofol and abandoned Michael Jackson.

Walgren concedes that the People cannot prove exactly what happened behind the doors. But jury knows what happened every night, propofol being shipped, and that MJ died. It was a foreseeable and predictable consequence, and what is unusual is that MJ lived as long as he did receiving propofol in this setting.

Walgren states that if Murray was so concerned, why did he record Michael in his bedroom? This was supposed to be a relationship based on trust, and MJ clearly trusted Murray. Murray brought propofol into the house, administered, abandoned MJ, failed monitoring, failed to call 911, Murray is responsible. Murray is criminally negligent not because this is MJ, but because he behaved in a criminally negligent way. Murray was a substantial factor in MJ's death.

Walgren asks to jury to consider all evidence, and that he trusts that the jury will find that Murray was criminally negligent, because this was a pharmaceutical experiment in a bedroom. Walgren asks the jury to come back with the only right and true verdict in this case, and the only just verdict in this case. Walgren asks that the jury come back with a guilty verdict for the solitary count of involuntary manslaughter based on Murray's actions and his actions alone.

Zweieinhalb Jahre nach dem Tod von Michael Jackson liegt das Schicksal seines früheren Leibarztes nun in der Hand der Geschworenen.

Am Freitag sollten die sieben Männer und fünf Frauen erstmals ihre Beratungen aufnehmen. Am Donnerstagabend (Ortszeit) hatte der Richter in Los Angeles den zwölf Geschworenen aufgetragen, ein einstimmiges Urteil zu finden.

In ihrem Plädoyer fuhr die Anklage zuvor schweres Geschütz auf. Staatsanwalt David Walgren rief die Geschworenen dazu auf, den wegen fahrlässiger Tötung angeklagten Herzspezialisten Conrad Murray (58) schuldig zu sprechen. Der Mediziner habe den Tod des Sängers „grob fahrlässig“ und „direkt“ verschuldet. Murray habe seinem Patienten das Narkosemittel Propofol gespritzt und ihn dann alleine gelassen. Er habe im Polizeiverhör gelogen, Sanitätern und Medizinern wichtige Informationen verschwiegen und nur an seinen eigenen Vorteil gedacht.

Murrays Verteidiger Ed Chernoff hielt dagegen, dass die Anklage Murrays Schuld an einer Überdosis Propofol nicht glaubwürdig bewiesen habe. Vielmehr deute alles darauf hin, dass Jackson sich selbst die tödliche Dosis spritzte, als sein Arzt nicht im Raum war. Chernoff warnte die Juroren, dass die Anklage von ihnen verlangte, „Conrad Murray für die Taten von Michael Jackson“ zu verurteilen. Der Mediziner sei nur „ein kleiner Fisch in einem großen schmutzigen Teich“, sagte Chernoff über die vielen Ärzte, von denen sich der Popstar über Jahre hinweg mit starken Medikamenten versorgen ließ.

Jacksons Mutter Katherine und seine Schwester La Toya wischten sich Tränen weg, als die Rede auf die Kinder des Sängers kam, berichtete das Promi-Portal „People.com“. Wegen Murrays Taten hätten Paris, Prince und Blanket ihren Vater verloren, führte Walgren im Gerichtssaal aus. „Für Michaels Kinder geht dieser Fall ewig weiter, weil sie keinen Vater mehr haben.“ Die Beweise gegen Murray seien „überwältigend“, sagte der Anklagevertreter.

In den vergangenen sechs Wochen waren 49 Zeugen, darunter Mediziner, Sachverständige, Angestellte Jacksons und Patienten Murrays, zu Wort gekommen. Mehr als 300 Tabellen, Fotos, Videos und andere Beweismittel wurden den fünf Frauen und sieben Männern der Jury vorgelegt. Murray selbst war nicht in den Zeugenstand getreten.

Laut Autopsiebericht führte eine „akute Vergiftung“ mit Propofol im Mix mit anderen Medikamenten im Juni 2009 zu Jacksons Tod. Im Falle eines Schuldspruchs drohen Murray bis zu vier Jahre Haft und der Entzug seiner ärztlichen Lizenz.

Conrad Murray erwartet Urteil

http://www.n-tv.de/panorama/Conrad-Murray-erwartet-Urteil-article4688866.html

Verteidigung und Staatsanwaltschaft halten ihre Abschlussplädoyers. Das Schicksal von Conrad Murray liegt nun in den Händen der Geschworenen. Michael Jacksons Leibarzt wird vorgeworfen, dem King of Pop fahrlässig eine Überdosis Propofol verabreicht zu haben. Wird der Arzt für schuldig befunden, geht er für vier Jahre ins Gefängnis.

Jackson-Prozess geht zu Ende
Conrad Murray erwartet Urteil
Verteidigung und Staatsanwaltschaft halten ihre Abschlussplädoyers. Das Schicksal von Conrad Murray liegt nun in den Händen der Geschworenen. Michael Jacksons Leibarzt wird vorgeworfen, dem King of Pop fahrlässig eine Überdosis Propofol verabreicht zu haben. Wird der Arzt für schuldig befunden, geht er für vier Jahre ins Gefängnis.

Zweieinhalb Jahre nach dem Tod von Michael Jackson steht der Prozess gegen den wegen fahrlässiger Tötung angeklagten Leibarzt von US-Popstar Michael Jackson vor dem Abschluss. Nach den Plädoyers von Staatsanwaltschaft und Verteidigung trug Richter Michael Pastor den Geschworenen in Los Angeles auf, ihre Beratungen über das Urteil gegen Conrad Murray aufzunehmen.

In ihrem Plädoyer fuhr die Anklage zuvor schweres Geschütz auf. Staatsanwalt David Walgren rief die Geschworenen dazu auf, den wegen fahrlässiger Tötung angeklagten Herzspezialisten Conrad Murray schuldig zu sprechen. Der Mediziner habe den Tod des Sängers "grob fahrlässig" und "direkt" verschuldet. Murray habe seinem Patienten das Narkosemittel Propofol gespritzt und ihn dann alleine gelassen. Er habe im Polizeiverhör gelogen, Sanitätern und Medizinern wichtige Informationen verschwiegen und nur an seinen eigenen Vorteil gedacht.

Verteidiger hält dagegen: Jackson war abhängig

Murrays Verteidiger Ed Chernoff hielt dagegen, dass die Anklage Murrays Schuld an einer Überdosis Propofol nicht glaubwürdig bewiesen habe. Vielmehr deute alles darauf hin, dass Jackson sich selbst die tödliche Dosis spritzte, als sein Arzt nicht im Raum war. Jackson sei immerhin von Medikamenten abhängig gewesen. Jackson habe zudem unter erheblichem Druck gestanden, weil er ein großes Comeback mit 50 Konzerten in London plante, sagte Chernoff.

Sieht in Jacksons Leibarzt einen Sündenbock: Ed Chernoff.

Conrad Murray jury to return after weekend

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-15585420

The jury ends its first day considering the case against the doctor charged over the death of singer Michael Jackson, and will return on Monday.

Michael Jackson doctor Conrad Murray case goes to jury

Prosecutors ended their case by saying Dr Conrad Murray‘s care of Jackson had been "bizarre", while the defence said the singer had caused his own death.

The case against the physician charged with the death of the pop star Michael Jackson has gone to the jury, following closing statements.

Prosecutors concluded their case by saying Dr Conrad Murray‘s care of Jackson had been "bizarre" and left the pop star‘s children fatherless.
The defence countered that the singer had caused his own death in June 2009 with an overdose of a sedative. The seven-man, five-woman jury will begin deliberations on Friday morning.
If convicted, Dr Murray could face up to four years in prison and lose his licence to practise medicine.
During Thursday‘s closing statements after the nearly six-week trial, the prosecution projected images of Jackson‘s grief-stricken children on a giant screen.

The pop star‘s mother and siblings watched from the court gallery as Deputy District Attorney David Walgren told the jury: "For Michael Jackson‘s children this case goes on forever because they do not have a father.
"They do not have a father because of the actions of Conrad Murray."
He cited Dr Murray‘s delay in calling 911 and phone records that indicated the physician had been on the phone during Jackson‘s final hours, when he should have been attending to his patient.
"What was so pressing that he just couldn‘t care for Michael Jackson?" Mr Walgren asked the court.

He also reminded the jury that Dr Murray had failed to tell the paramedics and emergency room doctors how he had been giving Jackson the powerful sedative propofol as a treatment for insomnia.
"That is consciousness of guilt," Mr Walgren told the court. "That is Conrad Murray knowing full well what caused Michael Jackson‘s death."
But the accused‘s legal team said in its closing statement that Jackson‘s death was not Dr Murray‘s fault.
They said Jackson had caused his own death by injecting a dose of propofol while his doctor was out of the room.
"If it was anybody else, would this doctor be here today?" defence attorney Ed Chernoff asked the jury.

Mr Chernoff said prosecutors had failed to prove that Dr Murray had committed a crime by giving Jackson doses of propofol as a sleep aid in the singer‘s bedroom.
"They want you to convict Dr Murray for the actions of Michael Jackson," Mr Chernoff said.
Dr Murray, who denies involuntary manslaughter, chose not to testify in his own defence.

Kurz.....

Die Staatsanwälte beendeten ihre Sache, indem sie sagten, dass Murrays Fürsorge für Jackson "bizarr" gewesen sei, während die Verteidigung sagt, der Sänger verursachte seinen Tod selber.
Die Sache gegen den "Arzt", der wegen des Todes von Popstar Michael Jackson angeklagt ist, ist an die Geschworenen gegangen, nach den Schlussplädoyers.
Die Staatsanwälte schlossen ihren Fall ab, indem sie sagen, die Sorgfalt von Murray gegenüber Jackson, sei "bizarr" gewesen, und ließ die Kinder des Popstars vaterlos zurück.
Die Verteidigung konterte, dass der Sänger seinen eigenen Tod im Juni 2009 mit einer Oberdosis von Beruhigungsmitteln verursacht hätte.
Die Jury, bestehend aus sieben Männern und fünf Frauen, wird ihre Beratungen am Freitag morgen beginnen.
Bei einer Verurteilung könnte Murray vier Jahre Gefängnis bevorstehen und er seine Lizenz zum Praktizieren verlieren.
Während der Abschlussplädoyers am Donnerstag nach einem Verfahren von nahezu sechs Wochen, projizierte die Staatsanwaltschaft Bilder von Jacksons schmerzerfüllten Kindern auf eine riesige Leinwand.
Er zitierte Murrays Verspätung beim Anruf des Notrufs 911 und Telefonaufnahmen, die darauf hindeuteten, dass der "Arzt" in Jacksons letzten Stunden im Telefon gewesen ist, wenn er seinem Patienten hätte beistehen sollen.
"Was war so dringend, dass er für Michael Jacksons einfach nicht sorgen konnte?" fragte Mr. Walgren das Gericht.
Er erinnert ebenfalls die Geschworenen daran, dass Murray es versäumte, den Sanitätern und den Ärzten in der Notaufnahme zu sagen, wie er Jackson das starke Betäubungsmittel Propofol als Behandlung von Schlaflosigkeit gegeben hat.
"Das ist das BEWUSSTSEIN der Schuld," erklärte Mr. Walgren dem Gericht. "Das ist Conrad Murray, der sehr genau wusste, was Michael Jacksons Tod verursachte."
Aber das angeklagte juristische Team sagte in seinem abschließenden Plädoyer, dass Jacksons Tod nicht Murrays Fehler war.
Sie sagten, Jackson hätte seinen eigenen Tod verursacht, indem er sich eine Dosis Propofol injizierte, während sein Arzt nicht im Raum war.
Mr. Chernoff sagte, die Staatsanwälte hätten es verfehlt, zu beweisen, dass Murray ein Verbrechen begangen hat, indem er Jackson Dosen von Propofol als eine Schlafhilfe im Schlafzimmer des Sängers gegeben hat
"Sie möchten Murray verurteilen für die Taten des Michael Jackson," sagte Chernoff.....

Staatsanwalt David Walgren im Murray-Prozess

Der knallharte Sunnyboy

Seit Wochen lehrt er den Anwälten von Conrad Murray das Fürchten: David Walgren hat auch in seinem Schlussplädoyer alle Register gezogen, um den Leibarzt von Michael Jackson hinter Gitter zu bringen. Obwohl knallhart, ist der Staatsanwalt ein Frauenschwarm. Von Jens Maier

Er ist der Typ Sunnyboy: modische Kurzhaarfrisur, schicker Anzug, smartes Lächeln. Wäre David Walgren nicht Staatsanwalt, hätte er Autoverkäufer, Fußballstar oder vielleicht sogar Chippendale-Stripper werden können. Auf Facebook hat sich eine Fan-Gruppe mit dem Titel "David Walgren is hot" (David Walgren ist scharf) gegründet. Doch sein adrettes Äußeres, sein charmantes Lächeln, täuscht. Walgren ist nicht nett, sondern das, was man in Justizkreisen einen scharfen Hund nennt. Seit Wochen lehrt er den Anwälten von Doktor Conrad Murray das Fürchten. Mit seinem Schlussplädoyer im Prozess gegen Michael Jacksons Leibarzt lieferte er jetzt sein Meisterstück.

Scharfzüngig und rhetorisch brillant führte Walgren vor den zwölf Geschworenen noch einmal aus, warum sie Conrad Murray schuldig sprechen sollen. Der Mediziner habe den Tod des Sängers "grob fahrlässig" und "direkt" verschuldet. Murray habe seinem Patienten das Narkosemittel Propofol gespritzt und ihn dann alleine gelassen. Er habe im Polizeiverhör gelogen, Sanitätern und Medizinern wichtige Informationen verschwiegen und nur an seinen eigenen Vorteil gedacht. Kurzum, die Beweise gegen Murray seien "überwältigend".

Walgren versteht es, die Jury auf seine Seite zu ziehen
Doch Walgren ist weit mehr als der nüchterne Analytiker, der Sachargumente vorträgt. Er beherrscht es perfekt, die Jury für sich einzunehmen. Sarkastisch spricht er vom "armen Conrad Murray", gegen den sich scheinbar die ganze Welt verschworen habe. Der "arme Conrad Murray", dessen Anwälte mehreren Beteiligten die Schuld am Tod von Michael Jackson geben wollten, nur ihrem Mandanten nicht. Und der "arme Conrad Murray", der Jacksons Mutter Katherine bis heute die Antwort schuldig geblieben ist, warum ihr Sohn starb.

Um die Dramaturgie seines Vortrags zu steigern, fügt Walgren gekonnt an den richtigen Stellen Redepausen ein. Er lässt die Jury kurz verschnaufen, nur um im nächsten Moment zu einem weiteren Schlag auszuholen. Zum Beispiel dann, wenn er mit leiser Stimme von den Kindern Paris, Prince und Blanket Jackson spricht, denen Conrad Murray den Vater genommen habe. Denn Walgren weiß ganz genau, dass er die zwölf Geschworenen am besten auf seine Seite bekommt, wenn er es schafft, Emotionen zu wecken.

Verteidigung ratlos
Während Walgren spricht, sitzt Conrad Murray wie versteinert auf der Anklagebank. Der Körpersprache seiner Anwälte ist die Verzweiflung förmlich anzusehen: J. Michael Flanagan legt die Hand nachdenklich an die Stirn, Anwalt Ed Chernoff stützt den Kopf mit geschlossenen Augen auf seine gefalteten Hände. Was sollen sie diesem Vortrag bloß entgegen halten? Eine Verurteilung von Conrad Murray scheint so gut wie sicher.

Vor allem wegen Walgren. Der Mann, der 1995 seinen Abschluss machte und danach eine Blitzkarriere startete, hat bereits bei anderen Promi-Prozessen für Aufsehen gesorgt. Er war der Drahtzieher bei der Anklage gegen Regisseur Roman Polanski und hauptverantwortlich für dessen Verhaftung in der Schweiz. Und er hat einem Fotografen den Prozess gemacht, der widerrechtlich Nacktfotos von Cameron Diaz veröffentlicht hatte. Experten sagen Walgren eine steile Karriere voraus. Selbst dann, wenn Murray entgegen den Erwartungen von der Jury freigesprochen wird.

Seine weiblichen Fans muss Walgren allerdings enttäuschen. Der Ring an seiner linken Hand verrät es: Er ist glücklich verheiratet. Mit der Bezirksstaatsanwältin Nicol Walgren hat er zwei Kinder. Der "scharfe" Sunnyboy ist vergeben. Staatsanwälte küsst man nicht.

Zusammenfassung Ivy MJJC

Murray Trial Day 23 , November 3 2011

Afternoon Session

Ed Chernoff Closing arguments

- Walgren's argument is exactly why we have a jury trial in America.

- Walgren gave bits and pieces of statements from witnesses regarding propofol, rather than the whole context.

- Defense team has never stated that Conrad Murray did not make mistakes. But this case is not a medical board hearing or a civil lawsuit. For a crime to be proven, the prosecution has to show that Conrad Murray actually killed MJ. Prosecution must show criminal negligence, but also the specific act was the cause of death, otherwise this is not a crime.

- What defense believes is that Murray found MJ in distress, at 12 pm. The very first thing Murray did was try to revive MJ. At 11:51 Sade Anding received a phone call from Murray. From Anding's testimony defense believes she listened for about 2 minutes before hanging up. From 11:18 am until 12 noon, Murray was on the phone. If Murray had found MJ anywhere between 11:18 am and noon, the same thing would have happened that Sade Anding reported when she was on the phone with him (Murray would have dropped the phone and tried to revive MJ). Defense states that from 11:18 am to 12 noon, Murray never found MJ not breathing.

- The nature of propofol, is a 10 minute drug. The only way to keep propofol actually working after that is through an IV drip or IV injection. The prosecution spent 6 weeks trying to prove a drip theory, because the evidence proves that Murray injected propofol into MJ's IV prior to him leaving the room. The prosecution wants the jury to convict Conrad Murray for Michael Jackson's actions.

-Alberto Alvarez stated that he has had a hard time finding steady employment since MJ died, and that he was offered $500,000 for his story. Alvarez stated when he first talked to police, all he claimed he did was call 911. But when Alvarez spoke to police in August 2009, he then stated he comforted the children, he hid evidence for Murray and he comforted the children. The story became monumentally more compelling and valuable. Chernoff asks the jury if they honestly believe that Alberto Alvarez, after this trial is over, is not going to cash in on MJ's death story?

-Alvarez stated that he grabbed MJ's legs, Murray got MJ's shoulders and they took him and placed him on the floor. Alvarez stated that Murray asked him to take the IV bag off the stand and that there was a milky substance in the bag, but when tested there was nothing in the bag. Chernoff reminds the jury that the EMT's stated that they found MJ on the floor not the bed.

-The problem with prosecution theory starts with Alvarez inconsistencies, but moves on to Elyssa Fleak, and that she never mentioned a bottle in a bag originally. In the notes that she didn't destroy, there is no mention of a propofol bottle inside a cut IV bag, and there are no photos of it either. Fleak only mentions it 18 months later in testimony.

-Detective Smith, who Chernoff claims is a methodical, consummate professional, took notes of a smaller bottle of Lorazepam with an IV bag inside a bag fromt eh room where MJ died but did not remember seeing a vial of propofol inside a cut IV bag. Chernoff says that the reason Smith never saw it is because it never existed.

-April, 2011: Alvarez is interviewed by LAPD, and draws a picture of the IV bag. Chernoff states that the tubing, the IV bag, insinuating that LAPD coached Alvarez into drawing a bag that was similar to the bags the LAPD had at the interview. Chernoff states that the prosecution's theory was solidified then.

-Chernoff questions Dr. Shafer's testimony: stating that the IV tubing was hung to prove the prosecution's theory that Murray used an IV drip. Chernoff states that the short tubing used for testimony is used for an IV drip, the short tubing that Murray claims he used would be for IV injection. Chernoff states that Shafer testified he was wrong the next day, even though Murray's life is on the line. Chernoff states that the short tubing is proven to be used by Murray from medical records that show Murray ordered the short tubing only, and no long tubing, therefore showing that Murray did in fact, use an injection IV rather than a drip IV.

-Chernoff states that Dr. Shafer is a pharmacokineticist first and an anesthesiologist second. Chernoff stated that the prosecution turned Shafer into a cop, and that Shafer stated what he believed he happened as if it were true, but it's merely opinion.

-Chernoff on Dr. White: White is completely honest and said when needed, I don't have those qualifications to comment on certain testimony, but Shafer never said that. Chernoff states that White knows more about propofol than Shafer will ever, ever know. White just tried to tell the jury the truth, for $11,000. Chernoff states that Shafer gave simulations, one right after another, and none of them have anything to do with the case except for one, and that one is because the defense asked him to do it. Shafer showed a rapid bolus demonstration, when nobody from the defense ever asked him to do that. Shafer worked backwards on his theory (from concentration to dose), and when someone does that, there are a million different outcomes.

-MJ could not have died from what Murray admitted he did (25 mg injection to IV) and Shafer admitted that. Chernoff questions whether Shafer is a scientist or a prosecution advocate.

-Chernoff states that prosecution cannot prove a crime. When Chernoff asked Shafer about oral Lorazepam ingestion, Shafer stated that MJ's stomach held 1/300th of a tablet. Chernoff states that defense knows MJ orally ingested Lorazepam, and that's Shafer's exhibits are nothing representative of any proof, it represents nothing.

-Chernoff states that there are two reasonable scenarios about Lorazepam. First is MJ went into his bathroom and swallowed Lorazepam and Murray didn't know. Chernoff states that if this case were about anyone else, Murray wouldn't be on trial.

-Chernoff states that Murray's patients were willing to come to court and testify in front of cameras for him. People that know Murray believe that he could never have a disregard for human life as prosecution has claimed.

-Chernoff states that if Murray is such a liar, why did he tell LAPD he had been giving MJ propofol for 60 days straight?

-Definition of criminal negligence: prosecution has shown negligence, in many different respects. Three aspects of criminal negligence (as stated on jury instructions) #1 With the act (of propofol in a home), is it the direct cause of MJ's death, and #3, is it the natural probable consequence of the act (the death).

-Chernoff states that it's easy in hindsight to say that Murray is a lousy doctor, but the prosecution witness doctors have never walked in Murray's shoes. It's easy to judge when people have a miniscule amount of compassion, but do not question his motives. Murray's biggest personality defect is his also his greatest strength; he thought he could help MJ, he thought he could help him sleep. But Murray was wrong, he was a little fish in a big dirty pond.

-Chernoff states that Murray had no idea why when he came back in the room, MJ looked like he was dead. Chernoff states that Murray should not have been expected to call 911 first, but to try to revive the patient (MJ) first. Chernoff states that Dr. Steinberg stated that maybe two minutes for revival, after that, it's a felony not to call 911.

-Chernoff states that Murray injected MJ with Flumanezil, runs down and gets Kai Chase, and then says that Chase got Prince I (MJ's oldest son), not Murray.

-Chernoff states that Steinberg stated that Murray performed substandard CPR, but it's based on testimony that the compressions were done on the bed. Chernoff states that compressions with Murray's hand behind MJ's back, and one hand compressing MJ's chest is not a violation of standard of care. Chernoff states that the prosecution stated Murray deviated from care from the standard of care because he did not provide sufficient for MJ, but Chernoff states that an ambubag was on the floor. Chernoff states that every single thing Murray did, the prosecution claimed that it was a deviation from the standard of care.

-Chernoff states that the prosecution brought in MJ's kids to gain sympathy. He states that the prosecution brought in Nicole Alvarez for no reason. He states that the prosecution wants to paint a perfect villain and a perfect victim, but there are neither. Chernoff states that the only reason that the fact that Murray helped with the press release at the time of MJ's death was because the defense brought it into testimony.

-Chernoff states that it is believable that Murray wanted to back to MJ's house from the hospital the day MJ died because his car was there, and it was believable that he wanted to go eat. What is not believable is that Murray wanted to go back to the house to get some cream, that Amir Williams was so disturbed by that, that he locked the house down, but never mentioned it to the police.

-Chernoff plays the voicemail from Frank Dileo to Conrad Murray again (6/19/09 stating that MJ had an episode, he was sick and Murray should get a blood test on MJ)

-Chernoff states that MJ was under tremendous, abnormal, impossible pressure from AEG. Chernoff concedes that giving propofol in the home was not an appropriate thing to do. But Murray gave an uncontrolled substance, not Demerol, to MJ. Chernoff states that when Murray went home, the other life of MJ took over.

-Chernoff repeats Steinberg's testimony that Murray giving propofol to MJ was "like a baby on a countertop". Chernoff states that this was insulting MJ, as if MJ was a baby, couldn't make contracts for himself, couldn't raise his children for himself, because he was just a baby. Chernoff asks if Murray was supposed to watch MJ all the time to save him from himself?

-Chernoff states to take this case away from MJ, in a psych unit, and some patient kills himself, overdoses. If jury is going to hold Murray responsible, don't do it because it's MJ. This is not a reality show, it's reality, and it's how it affects a real person and the people who love him.

David Walgren Rebuttal Closing

-Walgren states that they are not on trial because the victim is MJ.

-Criminal gross negligence, giving propofol, which is known for respiratory depression, as a one man operation, no safety measures, nothing. Bizarre, unethical, unconscionable behavior that has never been seen before, and that is why Murray is on trial.

- Murray's patients who were witnesses had the benefit of a hospital, a team, monitors and were being treated for heart conditions, MJ did not have any of those benefits. MJ was being treated for insomnia that Murray knew nothing about.

-Walgren questions why the witnesses that were called who were Murray's patients were patients from over a decade ago. Walgren questions why none of Murray's current patients were called to testify.

Walgren: "Poor Conrad Murray. Everyone is just working against him." Defense blamed Elyssa Fleak, Alberto Alvarez, Shafer, AEG, Randy Phillips, Michael Amir Williams, Kai Chase. "Poor Conrad Murray." Walgren states that witness Mr. Ruben states that Murray was grieving, Walgren states that is because it's about Murray and nobody else.

Walgren states defense contends that Alvarez and Fleak are lying, Shafer is a cop, Kai Chase failed to get security, and "if allowed more time I'm sure they would find a way to blame Michael's son, Prince." Everyone is to blame except for Conrad Murray, according to defense. If Alvarez wanted to lie, he could have done a lot better than a bizarre story with an IV bag and propofol inside of it. Walgren states defense is claiming it's a conspiracy between LAPD, bodyguards, and others to pin this on Murray. Poor Conrad Murray. Everything Conrad Murray did in his treatment was bizarre. Waited 20 minutes to call 911, bizarre. Gave propofol in home setting for 60 days, bizarre. Lied to EMT's and UCLA doctors about giving propofol, bizarre. Is it surprising that Murray had some usual setup for the saline bag? Walgren states nobody knows, but that MJ was sensitive to getting all of the medical stuff cleaned up each day so the children did not see it. Everything Murray did was bizarre, and none of it was consistent with a trained competent medical doctor, who was putting his patient first.

Walgren states defense blames MJ, that Murray left him alone. MJ sought out propofol to sleep, but only one doctor said yes to administering it. Poor Conrad Murray. MJ is dead. Poor Conrad Murray. Nobody knows what it's like to walk in his shoes. Walgren: "You got that right. Because I haven't seen a doctor in this case that said they would ever do what Conrad Murray did. Ever. Including the defense experts."

Walgren states that defense closing arguments said nothing about Dr. White's testimony because it was junk science. Shafer on the other hand, did this pro bono, and showed true science to show how MJ died.

Walgren states that Murray had a legal duty to provide the standard of care for his patient, MJ. If Murray hadn't have left the room, this wouldn't have happened. If Murray had attached a monitoring system to MJ, this wouldn't have happened. If Murray knew how to effectively revive a patient, this wouldn't have happened. The law says that causation only be a natural and probable consequence. If you administer propofol in a bedroom, a natural and probable consequence is that there could be death. It's a respiratory depressant, it has unpredictable effects as both Shafer and White says, it's dependent on your fasting, how much food you ate, other drugs in the system, how dehydrated you are. It is entirely foreseeable and predicatable that death would occur. White, defense witness stated that if he had a patient that liked to push propofol, he would not leave him alone.

Walgren states that Alvarez could have easily made up easier lies. There's no evidence that Alvarez had any animosity toward Murray, thought he was a good doctor until MJ died. Alvarez nor Fleak have any position in this case, no reason to lie.

Walgren states that Shafer provided all graphs and data to the defense at their request. Shafer told the truth.

Walgren states MJ's fingerprints were not on the syringe. Alvarez fingerprints aren't on the saline bag. Conrad Murray's fingerprint is on the propofol bottle found in the saline bag.

Walgren asks the jury to evaluate the lies Murray told: Murray lied to Ortega, Gongaware, Phillips, Jorrie that MJ was in great health. Murray emailed Bob Taylor in London and lied about MJ's health. MJ lied to EMT's , to UCLA Dr. Cooper and Dr. Nguyen. Murray lied to Tim Lopez, about the propofol being shipped to his clinic rather than Nicole Alvarez apartment. Murray lied when he said he insisted on an autopsy, when he played no role in that whatsoever. Murray lied when he said he got a social group together for the family at UCLA, when it is UCLA protocol. Murray lied when he said he pulled Katherine Jackson aside and asked if there was anything he could do, she asked what happened, and he said he didn't know. Poor Conrad Murray.

Walgren states law is clear about causation. Defense theory does not fit causation. Murray said he knew MJ was dependent on propofol, Murray said MJ liked to push the drug, and Murray was the one who gave MJ the valium, midazolam, lorazepam and the propofol and abandoned Michael Jackson.

Walgren concedes that the People cannot prove exactly what happened behind the doors. But jury knows what happened every night, propofol being shipped, and that MJ died. It was a foreseeable and predictable consequence, and what is unusual is that MJ lived as long as he did receiving propofol in this setting.

Walgren states that if Murray was so concerned, why did he record Michael in his bedroom? This was supposed to be a relationship based on trust, and MJ clearly trusted Murray. Murray brought propofol into the house, administered, abandoned MJ, failed monitoring, failed to call 911, Murray is responsible. Murray is criminally negligent not because this is MJ, but because he behaved in a criminally negligent way. Murray was a substantial factor in MJ's death.

Walgren asks to jury to consider all evidence, and that he trusts that the jury will find that Murray was criminally negligent, because this was a pharmaceutical experiment in a bedroom. Walgren asks the jury to come back with the only right and true verdict in this case, and the only just verdict in this case. Walgren asks that the jury come back with a guilty verdict for the solitary count of involuntary manslaughter based on Murray's actions and his actions alone.

This is the dedicated thread for German Translation of Daily Trial Information and Witness Testimonies. Milka and Pace,MioDolceCuore are the volunteer translators.

Morgens

Die Verhandlung beginnt damit, dass Richter Pastor die Belehrungen fuer die Geschworenen
vorliest.

Der Richter sagt den Geschworenen, die Beweisstuecke, die medizinische Gegenstaende ent-
halten, werden nicht im Jury Room (Raum, in dem die Beratungen stattfinden) sein, aber
werden ihnen vom Gerichtsdiener gebracht, wenn sie danach fragen.

Wichtige Punkte der Belehrung fuer die Geschworenen:

- Pastor sagt den Geschworenen, sie muessen seinen Belehrungen ueber das Gesetz folgen,
auch, wenn sie nicht damit uebereinstimmen sollten.

- Pastor sagt, die Anklage muss die Schuld ohne begruendeten Zweifel beweisen. Er erklaert,
das heisst nicht, dass das jeden moeglichen Zweifel eliminieren muss.

- Pastor sagt, was die Anwaelte (Anm. der Anklage und Verteidigung) sagen und fragen ist
kein Beweis.

- Pastor sagt, Dinge koennen bewiesen werden durch direkte Beweise oder Indizienbeweise.
Er sagt, diese sind gleichbereichtigt.

- Pastor sagt, wenn sie zu 2 begruendeten Schlussfolgerungen kommen, einer, die Unschuld
zeigt und einer, die Schuld zeigt, muessen sie den Angeklagten fuer nicht schuldig befinden.

- Pastor sagt, sie koennen die Aussagen der Zeugen fuer wahr halten oder nicht, vollstaendig
oder teilweise.

- Pastor sagt, Menschen koennen vergessen oder machen Fehler und 2 Leute koennen dasselbe
beobachten, aber sich unterschiedlich erinnern.

- Pastor sagt, in Bezug auf die Sachverstaendigen (Anm. die Experten, die ausgesagt haben)
sollte deren Ausbildung, Qualifikation, die Information, auf die sie sich gestuetzt haben
und warum sie bestimmte Statements gemacht haben in Erwaegung gezogen werden.

- Pastor sagt, die Aussagen von Leumundszeugen koennen in Erwaegung gezogen werden und
koennen berechtigten Zweifel schaffen.

- Pastor sagt, die Geschworenen sollten sich nicht davon beeinflussen lassen, dass Murray
nicht ausgesagt hat.

- Pastor erklaert "fahrlaessige Toetung". Die Anklage muss beweisen, dass Murray 1) eine
legale Handlung mit grober ("krimineller") Fahrlaessigkeit begangen hat und 2) es verfehlte,
eine gesetzliche Pflicht anzubieten durch grobe Fahrlaessigkeit.

- Pastor sagt, es koennte mehr als eine Todesursache geben und es ist erforderlich, dass
die Handlungen von Murray ein substantieller Faktor fuer den Grund des Todes sind. Sie
muessen nicht der einzige Faktor sein.

- Pastor sagt, Michael koennte es verfehlt haben, entsprechende Versorgung zu verwenden
und mag zum Tod beigetragen haben. Wenn jedoch Murray's Handlungen substantiell waren, ist
er dennoch fuer den Tod verantwortlich.

David Walgren - Schlussplaedoyer

Walgren beginnt damit, den Geschwornen fuer ihren Dienst zu danken.

Walgren erklaert, dass Murray nicht der alleinige Grund fuer MJ's Tod sein muss; er muss
nur ein substantieller Faktor sein.

Walgren sagt, dass Murray MJ's Tod verursacht hat und Prince, Paris und Blanket ohne Vater
gelassen hat. "Fuer Prince, Paris und Blanket wird dieser Prozess nicht heute enden, fuer
sie wird es fuer immer weitergehen."

Walgren erklaert Vertrauen und die Beziehung zwischen einem Arzt und einem Patienten und
"keinen Schaden zuzufuegen". Der Arzt entscheidet, was die angemessene Behandlung fuer einen
Patienten ist. Alle Aerzte, die ausgesagt haben, sagten, sie wuerde so etwas nie machen.
Walgren legt dar, dass Murray das Vertrauen zwischen Arzt und Patient "jeden einzelnen Tag"
verletzt hat.

Murray war ein Angestellter fuer Geld. "MJ hat Murray vertraut. Er hat ihm sein Leben an-
vertraut. Er hat Murray mit seinem eigenen individuellen Leben vertraut und den zukuenf-
tigen Leben seiner Kinder, darauf vertrauend, dass Murray, waehrend MJ schlief, fuer ihn
sorgen wuerde, so dass er am Morgen aufwachen wuerde, um eine Mahlzeit mit seinen Kindern
zu teilen." "MJ hat mit seinem Leben bezahlt."

Am 24. Juni 2009 hat MJ im Staples Center performt und hat eine grossartige Performance
geliefert. Er war optimistisch und hat in die Zukunft geschaut. 12 kurze Stunden spaeter
lag er tot in seinem Bett, mit den Handflaechen nach oben und seinem Kopf auf die Seite
gedreht - tot in seinem Haus.

MJ war ein 50 Jahre alter Mann nervoes ueber die anstehende Tournee. MJ wollte seine Fans
zufriedenstellen, die so lange loyal zu ihm standen, seine Familie, seine Kinder. MJ war ein
kreatives Genie und hat Perfektion angestrebt. Er hat in die Zukunft geschaut. Er machte
Langzeitplaene fuer sich selbst und seine Kinder, zu denen er so hingebungsvoll war.

MJ wollte seine Message mit der Welt teilen. Er wollte seine Fans zufriedenstellen. Er
wollte, dass seine Kinder ihn performen sehen.

Fuer MJ waren seine Kinder vorrangig. Er wollte ein Haus fuer seine Kinder (Anm. waehrend
This Is It), damit sie nicht in einem Hotel eingesperrt waeren (Anm. wegen der Paparazzi).
MJ wollte einen Film basierend auf "Thriller" machen und er wollte Regie bei Filmen fuehren.
MJ wollte ein Kinderspital eroeffnen. Er wollte das der Welt geben. Er hatte Plaene, Hoff-
nungen und Traeume.

Die Tour waere auf die Welt ausgedehnt worden. Er war aufgeregt darueber, dass seine Kinder
ihren Dad in London performen sehen wuerden. Aber nichts von all dem wurde Realitaet, weil
MJ am 25. Juni 2009, nur 50 Jahre alt, fuer tot erklaert wurde. Paris musste ihren Vater
in der Situation sehen und schrie "Daddy", Prince war im Schock. Das ist es, was Murray
MJ und seinen Kindern angetan hat.

Walgren erklaert, dass Murray der fahrlaessigen Toetung angeklagt ist und Walgren geht
ueber das Gesetz. Walgren sagt, es koennte unbeantwortete Fragen geben, aber sie muessen
nur 3 Fragen beantworten.

Das Gesetz wuerdigt die besondere Beziehung zwischen Arzt und Patienten. Aerzte haben die
gesetzliche Pflicht fuer die Versorgung ihrer Patienten und das Versagen, nach dieser
Pflicht zu handeln, ist fahrlaessige Toetung. Walgren geht ueber grobe Fahrlaessigkeit und
Ursache.

Walgren erklaert, dass die Theorie der Verteidigung die ist, dass MJ sich selbst mit
Propofol injiziert und seinen Tod verursacht hat. Walgren sagt, Murray ist grob fahr-
laessig, wenn er vorhersehen konnte, was passieren wuerde. Er hat selbst zugegeben, dass
er wusste, MJ mochte es, Propofol selbst zu "druecken". Er haette ihn nicht alleinlassen
sollen in einem Zimmer, das mit Medikamenten gefuellt war. Walgren sagt, selbst wenn das
wahr waere, war es vorhersehbar.

Walgren sagt, irrefuehrende Statements koennen Schuld zeigen. Murray machte irrefuehrende
Angaben, als er es verfehlt hat, den Sanitaetern und Aerzten zu sagen, dass er Propofol
gegeben hatte. Das ist das Bewusstsein von Schuld. "Das ist Murray an erste Stelle setzen."
Walgren sagt, Murray hat absichtlich falsche Angaben gemacht.

Walgren geht ueber den Hintergrund des Falles. Murray hatte einen Vertrag unterschrieben.
Er sollte 150.000 Dollar pro Monat bekommen und eine Unterkunft. Murray schickte Briefe
an seine Patienten, in denen er sagte, er wuerde laenger abwesend sein und auf unbestimmte
Zeit aufhoeren, Medizin zu praktizieren.

Walgren geht ueber die Lieferungen von Medizin und sagt den Geschworenen, Murray hat mehr
als 4 Gallonen (Anm. mehr als 15 Liter) Propofol bestellt und lies diese an die Wohnung
seiner Freundin in LA schicken.

Walgren erwaehnt die Aufnahme vom 10. Mai. Murray sagt, er hat im Juni festgestellt, dass
es ein Problem gibt, aber die Aufnahme ist von 1 1/2 Monaten vorher. Murray konnte sich
nicht damit bemuehen, eine Krankenakte zu fuehren, aber er hatte kein Problem, einen mit
Medikamenten abgefuellten MJ aufzunehmen und die Aufnahme aus irgendeinem Grund aufzuheben.

Sogar in diesem verletzlichen Zustand spricht MJ ueber die Zukunft und seine Sehnsuechte.
Er spricht ueber ein Kinderspital. Er hat keinen Grund anzunehmen, dass ihn jemand hoeren
wuerde (Anm. ist so gemeint, dass das ein sehr privater Moment war); er spricht ueber seine
wahren Gefuehle und Sehnsuechte.

2 Tage nach dieser Aufnahme hat Murray die groesste Lieferung an Medikamenten bestellt.
Walgren sagt, sie konnten mit dem Durchsuchungsbefehl die anderen Propofol-Ampullen nicht
finden.

Bei einem Treffen Anfang Juni versichert Murray allen, dass es MJ gut geht. Am 19. Juni
2009 ist Regisseur Kenny Ortega besorgt ueber MJ's Gesundheit und er schickt ihn nach Hause.
Ortega schickt eine dringende Email an Randy Phillips, in der er sagt, dass MJ in einem
schlechten Zustand ist. Ortega versuchte, Murray zu erreichen, hat ihn aber nicht erreicht.
Bei dem Treffen am 20. Juni war Murray darueber boese, dass MJ nach Hause geschickt worden
war. Murray bestand darauf, dass es MJ gut geht ... und greift Ortega dafuer an, dass er
MJ von den Proben nach Hause geschickt hat. Murray sagte streng zu Ortega, er moege sich um
seine eigenen Angelegenheiten kuemmern. "Das ist ungluecklicherweise, was passiert ist."

Am 21. Juni 2009 klagte MJ darueber, dass eine Seite seines Koerper heiss war und die andere
kalt. Faheem Muhammad rief eine Krankenschwester an, die ihnen sagte, MJ muss ins Spital
gehen.

Am 23. Juni performed MJ im Staples Center. Allen Aussagen nach war es eine grossartige
Performance. Da war ein Licht am Ende des Tunnels. MJ's letzte Probe am 24. Juni war wieder
ein Erfolg. Alle waren aufgeregt darueber, dass die Tour nun endlich passieren wuerde. MJ
war besonders aufgeregt ueber die "Illusion", die am naechsten Tag performt werden sollte.
Walgren geht ueber MJ's letzte Verabschiedungen von Ortega und Phillips.

Murray's Version der Ereignisse hat sich veraendert. Am 25. Juni sagte er, er hat den
Stillstand beobachtet. Nach MJ's Tod wurde eine Vereinbarung getroffen (Anm. mit der Polizei),
sich mit Murray im Marina del Rey Hotel zu treffen. Murray war mit seinen Anwaelten dort.
Zu diesem Zeitpunkt wussten die Ermittler sehr wenig. Die Todesursache war noch nicht fest-
gestellt worden. Detectives haben im Dunkeln gearbeitet. Sie haben sich hingesetzt, um
Murray zuzuhoeren, ihm zuzuhoeren, was er zu sagen hatte. Die Detectives hatten keine medi-
zinischen Kenntnisse. Murray erzaehlte den Detectives, dass er MJ Propofol gegeben hatte.
Als sie fragten, wie regelmaessig das passiert ist, sagt Murray ihnen, jeden Tag. Murray
gab zu, er gab MJ Injektionen mit 50 mg Propofol gefolgt von einem Drip fast jede Nacht fuer
2 Monate.

In der Befragung erzaehlt Murray den Polizisten, er machte sich Sorgen darueber, MJ um
10:00 Uhr vormittags Propofol zu geben, weil MJ zu Mittag aufstehen musste - 2 Stunden
spaeter. Murray sagt, er war einverstanden, ihm Propofol zu geben, als MJ sagte, er muss
nicht zu Mittag aufstehen. Das zeigt, dass Murray vor hatte, MJ einen Drip zu geben, weil
eine Injektion mit 25 mg wuerde jemanden nur fuer 5 Minuten schlafen lassen. CM hatte vor,
ihn "umzuhauen".

Walgren sagt, Murray hat nicht 911 gerufen und das ist bizarr, und er hat darauf abgezielt,
sich selbst zu beschuetzen. Murray hat 911 gar nicht angerufen, weil, wie er behauptete,
mit dem 911-Bediensteten zu sprechen fahrlaessig waere ... also was macht er stattdessen?
Er ruft Michael Amir Williams an und hinterlaesst ihm eine Nachricht. Abgesehen von all
den anderen bizarren Verhaltensweisen, alles, was er haette sagen muessen, waere gewesen
"Ruf 911", aber das hat er nicht gemacht. Murray wusste, was er getan hatte und dass seine
Handlungen MJ getoetet hatten. Walgren sagt, Murray hat 911 absichtlich nicht gerufen.

Walgren geht ueber Murray's Handy-Berichte und Emails. Walgren fragt die Geschworenen, ob
sie glauben, MJ hat Murray 150.000 Dollar bezahlt und war wach und klagte darueber, und
Murray war nicht da und am Telefon. Walgren regt an, dass Murray in der Lage war, all diese
Zeit am Telefon zu verbringen, weil MJ geschlafen hat und an einer Infusion hing.

Walgren fragt, warum Murray seine Freundin Sade Anding zu der Zeit angerufen hat. Was war
so dringend, dass er sie anrufen musste? Sade Anding hoerte Stimmen im Hintergrund zu genau
dem Zeitpunkt, als Murray das Handy fallen liess. "War Murray in einem anderen Raum? Wie
lange war MJ in diesem Zustand? Hat MJ um Hilfe gerufen? Hat er geschnauft? Ist er erstickt?
Wir wissen es nicht ... und wir werden es nie wissen."

Alberto Alvarez kommt zum Haus. Murray greift nach Medizin-Ampullen und weist ihn an, diese
in eine Tasche zu geben. Erst dann bittet Murray ihn, 911 zu rufen. Es hat 20 plus Minuten
gedauert, 911 zu rufen. Faheem Muhammad findet die Kinder weinend. Die Sanitaeter brauchen
4 Minuten. Sie waren 1 1/2 Meilen entfernt. Walgren sagt, Murray hat sich selbst an erste
Stelle gesetzt und MJ an die letzte. Blount war in der Lage, schnell fuer Beatmung zu sorgen,
aber es war zu spaet.

Als die Sanitaeter MJ in die Ambulanz transportieren, findet Senneff Murray, wie er Dinge
vom Boden aufhebt und sie in einen Muellbeutel gibt. Walgren fragt die Geschworenen - warum?
Sie versuchten, MJ ins Spital zu bekommen, aber Murray war allein im Raum und hat Dinge
aufgehoben. Walgren erwaehnt Murray's Cargo-Hosentaschen.

Im Spital fragen die Aerzte, welche Medikamente Murray verabreicht hatte, wieder erwaehnt
Murray Propofol nicht. Nachdem MJ fuer tot erklaert worden war, ist Murray besorgt ueber
eine "Creme", von der er behauptete, MJ wuerde nicht wollen, dass die Leute von dieser
wissen. Walgren sagt, Murray weiss, dass seine Taschen, Medikamente und Spritzen im Haus
waren. Murray war nicht besorgt wegen der Creme ... er war ueber sich selbst besorgt.

Walgren fuehrt aus, dass die Detectives die Taschen gefunden haben, weil Murray ihnen gesagt
hatte, wo sie sind. Walgren sagt, Murray erschien in der Annahme zu der Befragung, dass
die Polizei die Taschen bereits gefunden hatte. Er hat das fuer die Erhaltung des Conrad
Murray erzaehlt. Murray dachte, seine Taschen waeren entdeckt worden. Er wusste, dass der
toxikologische Bericht kurz davor stand, fertig zu werden. Er erzaehlte von den Taschen,
um einen Vorsprung zu bekommen. Leider passt seine Geschichte nicht zu den Beweisen.

Walgren wechselt das Thema auf den Pflegestandard. "Jeder einzelne Arzt hat Ihnen gesagt,
dass sie nie das tun wuerden, was Murray getan hat."

Propofol sollte in einer Umgebung mit hoechster Ueberwachung gegeben werden. Niemand hat
je davon gehoert, Propofol in einem Schlafzimmer zu verwenden, bis Murray das tat. Es gab
keine Absicherungen. Das ist eine ungeheuerliche Abweichung vom Pflegestandard. Es ist
grobe Fahrlaessigkeit. Walgren sagt, diese Umgebung ist die direkte Ursache fuer MJ's Tod.
Propofol wird nicht fuer Schlafstoerungen verwendet. Der Artikel, den die Verteidigung be-
nuetzt hat, wurde nach MJ's Tod geschrieben.

Walgren erwaehnt das Equipment, das gebraucht wird und der Faehigkeit, es zu benuetzen.
Kein Equipment, das dafuer gebraucht wird, war da. Das ist ebenfalls grobe Fahrlaessigkeit.

Walgren bespricht "im Stich lassen" und dass der Patient nicht alleingelassen werden sollte,
weil Dinge sehr schnell passieren koennen. Murray's Vertieftsein in Emails, Textnachrichten
und Telefonate stellt "im Stich lassen" dar.

Walgren sagt, Benzos haben beigetragen. Walgren erwaehnt, was White ueber Variabilitaet
gesagt hat und das ist der Grund, warum alle Vorsichtsmassnahmen gebraucht worden waeren,
man weiss nicht, wie der Patient reagieren wird.

Murray hat in den vorhergehenden Jahren eine Krankenakte gefuehrt, aber er tat das in den
letzten 2 Monaten seiner Behandlung nicht. Murray hat vorgezogen, keine Akte zu fuehren,
weil er seine bizarre Behandlung nicht dokumentieren wollte.

Murray hat die Sanitaeter und die Aerzte im UCLA hinters Licht gefuehrt.

Walgren sagt, es gab einige Spekulation mit Szenarios, weil sie keine Krankenakte hatten.
Dr. Steven Shafer sagte, das wahrscheinlichste Szenario war, dass Murray MJ eine Infusion
gegeben hatte. Das basiert auf Beweisstuecken wie den Propofol-Lieferungen, dem aufge-
schnittenen IV-Beutel mit Kochsalzloesung, der Propofol-Ampulle mit Murray's Fingerab-
druecken und dem Riss durch einen Spike. Das ist nicht ungewoehnlich, Murray hat zugegeben,
das jede Nacht gemacht zu haben, eine Injektion mit 50 mg gefolgt von einem Drip.

Walgren sagt, vielleicht war es MJ's Idee, die Flasche in den Beutel zu geben, um sie zu
verstecken.

Walgren sagt, die Theorie mit einer Infusion erklaert die Blutlevel und die Telefon-Akten.
Walgren sagt, Murray war ein Angestellter und es ist unrealistisch, anzunehmen, dass MJ
dalag und sich beschwerte und Murray ignorierte ihn und war am Telefon. MJ klagte nicht
darueber, dass er nicht schlafen konnte, weil er geschlafen hat, weil Murray ihn an eine
Infusion gehaengt hatte.

White's Theorie der Selbstinjektion und der Einnahme von Lorazepam passierte nicht inner-
halb von 2 Minuten, sondern waehrend anderer Zeiten, in denen Murray MJ alleingelassen hat.

Murray's fruehere Patienten sagen, er war ein guter Arzt. Sie wurden alle in einem Spital
wegen Herzkrankheiten behandelt, wofuer Murray geschult war. Walgren fuehrt aus, dass wir
nicht von Murray's derzeitigen Patienten gehoert haben und wie sie sich fuehlten, als sie
seinen Brief bekommen haben und wie sie sich im Stich gelassen gefuehlt haben.

Walgren spielt ein Video des Verteidigungszeugen Dr. Allan Metzger mit der Aussage, dass
keine Geldmenge ihn dazu bekommen koennte, Propofol in einem Schlafzimmer zu geben. Lee's
Statement wird gespielt, in dem sie sagte, MJ haette ihr gesagt, er waere sicher, solange
ein Arzt ihn ueberwachen wuerde.

Walgren sagt, es gibt keine Beweise, die andeuten, dass MJ Propofol ohne anwesenden Arzt
wollte. MJ war nicht waghalsig. Er hatte ein Leben vor sich. Er hatte 3 Kinder, die er
von Herzen geliebt hat. Er wollte Propofol, um schlafen zu koennen, er wollte auch, dass
ein Arzt ihn die ganze Zeit ueberwacht, um sicher zu sein.

Walgren erwaehnt, dass Lorazepam eine kontrollierte Substanz ist und unter Verschluss ge-
halten werden sollte und der Gebrauch sollte aufgezeichnet werden.

Was der Experte der Verteidigung, Dr. Paul White, praesentierte, war "Junk Science" ("Pfusch-
wissenschaft"). Es war Muell. Es war traurig fuer die Wissenschaft und fuer die Wahrheits-
findung. White war konsistent im Beschuldigen von MJ. Wenn er von Dr. Shafer entlarvt wurde,
ging er und waehlte eine andere Theorie.

Walgren geht ueber das, was White ueber die Beagle-Studie gesagt hatte in Direktverhoer
und im Kreuzverhoer. Im Direktverhoer durch Flanagan sagte White, es war seine Idee. Im
Kreuzverhoer durch Walgren sagt er, er hatte nichts damit zu tun und hat es nicht studiert.

White sagte in seiner Aussage, er wuerde Propofol nicht zu Hause geben, ein Pulsoximeter
ohne Alarm hat keinen Wert, er wuerde einen Patienten nicht alleinlassen, der es mag,
Propofol selbst zu "druecken" und er haette 911 frueher gerufen.

Walgren sagt, White hat die Modelle nicht gemacht, er hat keine Information fuer die Modelle
bereitgestellt, er hat den Artikel nicht gelesen und er ist kein Experte in dem Bereich.
Walgren sagt, er stellte keine Untersuchungen an oder studierte. Walgren sagt, die Theorien
haben sich staendig geaendert.

Walgren erwaehnt, dass ein IV-Schlauch sehr kompakt ist und versteckt werden kann. Walgren
spielt dann das Video, in dem Flanagan White fragt, ob er einen anderen IV-Schlauch hat
und White zieht einen aus seiner Jackentasche. Walgren sagt, der IV-Schlauch war leicht zu
verstecken (Anm. Walgren spielte davor den Teil von White's Aussage, wo er meinte, er weiss
nicht, ob man einen IV-Schlauch in eine Jacken- oder Hosentasche stecken koennte, er stimmt
dann aber widerwillig zu und sagt "Ich selbst habe das noch nie gemacht").

Walgren erwaehnt den Artikel aus dem Jahr 1988 und dass dieser veraltet ist und dass der
Artikel von 2002 Shafer's Theorie eines Drips bestaetigt und die Theorie der Verteidigung
mit der Selbstadministration entlarvt.

MJ hat Murray vertraut. Er hat ihm sein Leben anvertraut. Er hat mit seinem Leben bezahlt.
Murray hat gelogen, hinterging, hat verdunkelt, aber wichtiger als das - Murray hat fahr-
laessig gehandelt und auf sich selbst aufgepasst. Das ist nicht, was ein Arzt tut. Murray's
Handlungen fuehrten direkt zu MJ's Tod. Aber die Anklage muss das nicht beweisen, weil
alles, was bewiesen werden muss, ist, dass Murray ein substantieller Faktor in MJ's Tod war.
Sogar, wenn man die Version der Verteidigung als Fakt akzeptiert, sollte Murray dennoch
verantwortlich gehalten werden.

Walgren bittet die Jury, Murray der fahrlaessigen Toetung schuldig zu sprechen, weil er
seinen Patienten im Stich gelassen hat. "Gerechtigkeit verlangt einen Schuldspruch" schliesst
er ab.
