Jackson's Demanding Personality On Trial
Posted Apr 5th 2010 12:25AM by TMZ Staff
It sounds crazy, but Michael Jackson's Coca-Cola addiction may become a building block in Dr. Conrad Murray's legal strategy.
TMZ broke the story that Dr. Murray's defense will be that Michael Jackson caused his own death by pumping a lethal dose of Propofol into his own body during the time the doctor was out of the room.
Sources familiar with the defense strategy tell us one of the missions is to show that Michael Jackson was a demanding celebrity who wanted what he wanted when he wanted it, even if it posed a danger to himself.
One of the ways the defense will prove its point is with the famous soft drink. Jackson consumed massive quantities of Coca-Cola, knowing full well it was laden with caffeine and would make it next to impossible to fall asleep.
Our sources say the defense has numerous examples of situations where Jackson hyped himself up with caffeine from soda and then used drugs -- including Propofol -- as the ultimate sleeping solution.
The upshot -- Jackson was a guy who wanted instant gratification ... so the notion that he would wake up when Dr. Murray was out of the room, become frustrated and self-medicate with Propofol is consistent with his personality.

caffeine also makes you crash. it doesn't keep you constantly awake. and to be quite honest ,this whole propofol thing doesn't even make sense to me. you never enter rem sleep with this, you'd never feel like you're rested. there's no point to it.
and please notice how TMZ has magically traveled in time to tomorrow already. i'm living in the past, as it is only 10:02 here in california.
im sorry.. but its impossible to drink that much cola to keep you awake.. i drink it and you would have to drink a LOT to get high on the caffeine in cola.. you would be constantly weeing because you would have to drink that much.
Surely he would be drinking Red Bull and taking Pro-Plus if thats the effect he wanted.
So ridiculous.. so a doctor who is treating MJ for insomnia - had the lights on in the bedroom with cartoon blaring and was yacking away on his mobile.. so MJ had to have Propofol as a last resort as he couldnt sleep due to all the cola he was drinking.
HELLO>>> Doctor should have said "lets have a quiet, dark room where you can relax and unwind. This is my advice to you as a Doctor you have hired and paid very well to help you with your insomnia. I will not talk on my mobile whilst you try and sleep as this would wake you.
Oh.. and i will not give you Propofol as i am a Doctor and i have a duty of care to you.. i cant give you something that is illegal and highly dangerous and i am not trained to admninister. I also do not have the proper equipment to monitor you. Therefore, as a Doctor, i cannot do this. You pay me well to look after you and your health. You trust me as an educated doctor. Therefore, i will treat you in your best interests"
Ive heard piss poor excuses in my time.. but this one is taking the biscuit.
I remember when he did the Pepsi adverts, he didnt want to do them as he didnt drink Pepsi or any other soft fizzy drink and he felt a bit of a fraud advertising something he didnt consume
I thought he was very anti Pepsi and Coca cola?????
And another thought.. why "Coca Cola" and not "Pepsi"??? The two are rivals and MJ is famously tied to Pepsi with his advertisements... is this some kind of message????? If it is, i dont get it but it strikes me as very odd.
I drink coke all the time, throughout the day, late at night -- not once has that ever kept me up. I even tried several times to drink a ton of coke bottles to keep me up while writing papers... FAIL.
This is getting ridiculous. Can't help but laugh. This can't be the best his defense has. People are going to see through this. The end has to be near...

Once Urquiza's testimony had finished, Prosecutors called Lauren Wallace, a flight attendant, to the stand. She testified that she served Michael wine in Diet Coke cans.

Montgomery stated that flight attendant Lauren Wallace told her that Michael asked for wine to be served in soda cans, contradicting previous testimony by another flight attendant, Cynthia Ann Bell, who claimed it was her idea because Michael was a nervous flyer.

Yeah.. but he was drinking wine, not cola. And that was because he was a nervous flyer.. and the reason he drank it in cola cans was so that his children didnt know he was drinking alcohol. He did that to protect his kids.
a glass of coke before bed for someone who never drinks it = not so good idea
regular coke drinker = like drinking lolly water.. pscch! <!-- s:roll: -->:roll:<!-- s:roll: -->

I know this is TMZ, and it may be just tabloid trash, but if its true, then the defense should get a better defense strategy, cause accusing MJ of being demanding aint gonna help Murray. He IS the DOCTOR for the Love of God! Propofol shouldn't have been given at home! If he thought MJ was a demanding celebrity who always got things done his way, and was a threat to himself, then why didnt he keep those damned bottles and syringes away from him? <!-- s --><!-- s -->
Yes, TMZ, your story sounds very crazy...
kai chase said she made healthy juices for him.
I have NEVER heard that Michael drank coca cola in vast quantities before.. ive always heard he drank orange juice.
same here. i once poured in 2 sachets of instant coffee to help me stay up through the night to finish my project, but i ended up sleeping like a baby. if you have to sleep, no caffeine can help you stay awake. even if i drink a whole can of coke, i still can go to sleep without having to struggle to sleep.
Some folks will stay up all night when drinking coffee after 5 P.M., some claim it's the best "goodnight goodie" for them to sleep.
One thing I know as to me: when coffee does not help anymore, a coke will do but only for a small amount of time. <!-- s;) -->;)<!-- s;) -->
I bet this story is now about the "healthy or non-healthy" food in the U.S. and double standards.
"String team" is using the full potential of ridiculous stories... LOL
I am still waiting for the lizard sushi thingie as MJ's last meal "his last supper" <!-- s --><!-- s --> <!-- s --><!-- s --> <!-- s --><!-- s -->
I´m a "coke-addict" myself, and I fall asleep very fast, so... no effect from that.. <!-- s:) -->:)<!-- s:) -->
Who knows Mike so well to be able to release such a statement?? <!-- s:evil: -->:evil:<!-- s:evil: -->
Besides, a huge consumption of Coca Cola (sugar) over a long period of time would lead to diabetes.
32. THAT MICHAEL'S UNFORTUNATE LUCK WITH THE SOFT DRINKS
AT FIRST THE PEPSI BURNT HIM AND NOW THE COCA COLA KILLED HIM...

It's known he liked to sleep with the full lights on. And who in their right minds wants to use an operating room anesthetic given by IV to get to sleep?
Also, it's possible to develop a cafeine addiction. For instance, Robbie Williams was treated for it in a rehab clinic after his last tour.
We could easily say 'the doctor should have told him how to sleep", i.e. no lights on, no sound, no drinking before going to bed, no cafeine or stressfull activities right before bedtime, but it is well possible that Michael just did whatever he wanted and ignored all these advices. He wanted the lights on, he wanted sound around, he wanted an IV, he wanted propofol. Just like his spending habits. Want to buy a gold plated chair, want Mickey Mouse. Ofcourse it's the duty of a physician to say no, but on the other hand some patients can be very demanding.
It needs to be proven he was not able to administer it himself as the coroner ruled, otherwise I'm concerned this is heading towards reasonable doubt.
-Turn on the lights in your room, while the light is stronger better.
-Turn on the television, and set the volume to maximum.
Do not drink Coca-Cola, it can keep you from sleeping.
