He died instantly.<br />* Chernoff told the jury what TMZ has reported for the last year -- that the centerpiece of the defense case is that Michael's death is on Michael -- not Dr. Murray.<br />* Chernoff also said MJ "had a problem" that no amount of determination could overcome, even with his talent, and without help he could not do the "This Is It" tour -- a tour that would score him more money than he had ever made on tour before.<br />* So, Chernoff says, Michael went doctor shopping.<br />* Dr. Murray is not a "celebrity doctor" -- he's a cardiologist who saves lives.<br />* The defense will put some of Dr. Murray's patients on the stand to show his level of care. He would buy prescriptions for people who couldn't afford it and would generally go well above the standard of care expected of a doctor -- which contradicts prosecutors who call him greedy and reckless. Murray seemed to tear up as he listened to Chernoff.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />* Murray treated MJ for several problems, including toe fungus and a broken foot.<br />* Chernoff said Murray had no idea at the time that MJ had a much deeper problem<br />* MJ didn't have insomnia -- he had "an absolute, total and thorough inability to sleep."<br />* When Murray met with detectives 2 days after MJ's death, he thoroughly answered every question. It was no holds barred and they hid nothing. <br />Chernoff said Murray told cops, "I don't know what killed Michael Jackson. I want to know also."<br />* Michael Jackson told Murray the only way he could sleep was with Propofol and he always took Propofol. <br />MJ told Murray exactly how it was to be administered. He even had a nickname for the drug -- milk. MJ knew Lidocaine was essential in administering Propofol to prevent a burning sensation.<br />* MJ told Murray he would use Propofol with or without Murray, so Murray then agreed to provide Propofol.<br />* Dr. Murray provided Propofol for 2 months for MJ, and during that time the singer slept, woke up, and lived his live -- suggesting it wasn't negligent to administer the drug.<br />* The evidence is going to show is that Michael Jackson died when Dr. Murray stopped. Murray told cops he believed his role was to find a way to help MJ sleep normally, urging him to get off Propofol.<br />* In other words, Murray was trying to ween MJ off Propofol and give him other, more traditional sedatives. And, on June 22, 3 days before MJ died, Michael agreed to let Murray to try to get him off Propofol. And on that day Murray gave MJ half the Propofol he had been giving him. And it worked. MJ slept.<br />* On June 23, Murray gave MJ NO Propofol at all, giving him other drugs instead. And, on the day MJ died, the plan was not to give Propofol. It was to go to other sedatives. That's why in the recording,MJ pleads for the Propofol. That's why Murray gave him other drugs instead during the night. <br />* Chernoff says MJ had certain "personality traits." He kept various people in life life separate from one another. <br />* Chernoff will present an addiction specialist, who will testify DR. ARNOLD KLEIN ADDICTED MICHAEL JACKSON TO DEMEROL. <br />* Things were so serious 5 days before Michael Jackson died, reps from AEG and others had a meeting at MJ's house and talked about "pulling the plug" on the tour. And subsequently MJ made it clear to Murray -- he needed to sleep or the tour would go down in flames.<br /><br />.

Transcript of prosecution's Michael Jackson recording<br />Posted: 01:25 PM ET<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />During his opening statement, prosecutor David Walgren played part of an audio recording of Michael Jackson discussing his upcoming "This Is It" tour.<br /><br />Walgren says Jackson was “highly under the influence of unknown agents” when Murray made the recording on his iPhone on May 10, 2009.<br /><br />Here is a transcript of the recording:“We have to be phenomenal. When people leave this show, when people leave my show, I want them to say, “I’ve never seen anything like this in my life. Go. Go. I’ve never seen nothing like this. Go. It’s amazing.<br />He’s the greatest entertainer in the world. I’m taking that money, a million children, children’s hospital, the biggest in the world, Michael<br />Jackson’s Children’s Hospital.”<br /><br />Walgren says there is more on the recording, and promises the entire thing will be played later in the trial.<br /><br />http://edition.cnn.com/video/<br /><br /><br />http://insession.blogs.cnn.com/2011/09/27/transcript-of-prosecutions-michael-jackson-recording/
Celebrity Justice<br />25 minutes ago BY TMZ STAFF<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br />Michael Jackson's Death Photo<br />Frightening Intentions?<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />It seems the prosecution wanted to give the Michael Jackson death photo a murky, gritty treatment before it was presented in court this morning -- because it was clearly touched up to look as daunting as possible. <br /><br />It appears the photo is NOT the original pic -- because now it includes a tattered border, a morgue-esque green hue ... and the word "Homicide" printed over MJ's body in a grainy, police-style font. <br /><br />The prosecution used the photo as the background for a slide-show presentation in court. <br /><br />Compare the pic to a cleaned up version of the photo (below) -- is the murky photo more likely to shake the jury? <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />We gotta ask ...
Lou Ferrigno<br />Michael Seemed Fine to Me<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Lou Ferrigno -- Michael Jackson's friend and fitness guru for decades -- tells TMZ MJ showed no signs of physical distress during workouts, as recently as 2 weeks before the singer died.<br /><br />Lou's account differs from some of the statements in court -- that Michael was deteriorating in the weeks before his death. <br /><br />Lou says two weeks before Jackson died, he went to MJ's home and trained him for an hour. Michael did cardio on the treadmill, used the exercise ball, worked with some light weights, completed a bunch of core exercises, and did a lot of stretching. <br /><br />Lou says Michael's energy level was very good, but he did complain that he was upset because he was having trouble sleeping.<br /><br />Lou says he had been training Michael 2 to 3 times a week for the tour ... and aside from seeming "very stressed out," he appeared in good health.<br /><br />And this is eerie ... Lou says as he left Michael's house the last time -- two weeks before MJ's death -- Jackson said, "Take care of yourself." <br />Lou said, "I'm going to see you next week." Michael just repeated, "Take care of yourself." Lou feels Michael knew something bad was about<br />to happen.<br /><br />

Smith didn't personally see the propofol in "the<br /> cut saline bag" and that is why he did not document it as such.<br /><br /><br /><br /> <br /> Chernoff goes back to Lt. Strenk's conversation with Ed Winters; the police chrono<br /> (written by Lt. Strenk) reflects when Strenk had the conversation, but does not show<br /> the reason why he wanted Ed Winters to stop investigating other doctors.<br /> <br /> Chernoff shows Det. Smith a copy of the police chronology on his ipad.<br /> <br /><br /> Back to the Det. Smith's notes:<br /> <br /> Det. Scott Smith mistakenly described the item as an "empty IV bag", when it was actually<br /> just the plastic wrapping that carried the IV bag.<br /> <br /> Det. Scott Smith mistakenly described the "pulse oximeter" as a " pulse monometer".<br /> <br /> August 20th - the decision to divide up the labor for the investigation; meeting with<br /> DEA (Drug Enforcement Agency) and BNE (Bureau of Narcotic Encforcement) to decide who<br /> would be best suited to look at various doctors for possible violations. "LAPD will <br /> handle all matters involving Dr. Murray; DEA will handle all matters involving Dr. Klein<br /> and Mickey Fine's pharmacy. Special Agent Sara Simpson from BNE will call (??) to let them<br /> know if BNE will investigate other doctors mentioned at the meeting for possible violations".<br /> <br /> Dr. Arnold Klein is linked to Mickey Fine's pharmacy in some way.<br /> <br /> <br />June 26th 2009 - Dr. Rogers concluded his autopsy; he found:<br /><br /> - enlargement of prostate gland<br /> - vitiligo<br /> - polyp on colon<br /> <br /> after sending portions of the autopsy to specialists, they found:<br /> <br /> - mild diffuse swelling in the nervous system <br /> - chronic inflammation and scarring in lungs, from lung exam<br /> - extra rib (cervical rib?) & arthritis, from radiology exam<br /> - root canal therapy, implant therapy, from dental exam<br /> <br /> - irregular pigmentation at the top of the scalp<br /> <br /> Height: 5'9"<br /> Weight: 136 lbs.<br /> <br /> BMI: within a normal range<br /> <br /> <br />people's 206: autopsy pic <br /><br /> When asked by Walgren if the picture accurately depicts MJ's body and<br /> visually depicts his weight Dr. Rogers says "yes".<br /> <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> [autopsy findings cont'd]<br /> <br /> - coronary arteries had no atherosclerosis, unusual for a man of his age <br /> <br /> - found no trauma or natural disease that could have been the cause of death <br /> - esophagus intact, no milky fluid <br /> - 70g of dark fluid found in the stomach, but no milky fluid, no pills,<br /> no capsules<br /> - no obstructions/ no foreign material in the oral airway<br /> - was not able to determine cause of death on June 26th 2009<br /> - requested further toxicology testing to be done to assist in determining cause of death<br /> - consulted anesthesiologist Dr. Calmes<br /> - referenced transcript of CM's police interview<br /> - sought medical records but was not able to obtain any<br /> - after consulting with various specialists, he concluded that the manner of death<br /> was homocide based on <br /> <br /> (1) Dr. CM's statement to the police: it indicated that propofol <br /> and other medications were administered to MJ by another person<br /> <br /> (2) inappropriate use of propofol: there was no appropriate medical indication<br /> that MJ's problem was lack of sleep and even so, it's not appropriate to <br /> give propofol in that situation, b/c the risks outweigh the benefits<br /> <br /> (3) the setting: treated outside of a hospital/clinic and the necessary items were <br /> not available e.g. no EKG monitor, no precise dosing device, no equipment<br /> to resuscitate or medications to improve circulatory function<br /> <br /> (4) the circumstances do not support self-administration of propofol:<br /><br /> in order to keep him asleep, MJ would have to be given additional propofol<br /> from time-to-time b/c the 25mg of propofol is not a very large dose.<br /><br /> it's hard to believe that MJ woke up and—while still somewhat under sedation— <br /> administered propofol to himself, then stopped breathing within the 2 minutes<br /> of Dr. CM's absence when you bear in mind the amount of time propofol requires <br /> to travel up the leg and into the brain.<br /> <br /> It's more likely that the doctor—having no precise method of dosing—gave too much<br /> propofol.<br /> <br /> <br /> Once in receipt of all the materials (toxicology findings, anesthesiologist consultation, the police<br /> interview transcript, and his own evaluations of MJ's internal and external organs and components)<br /> Dr. Rogers determined the cause of death to be: acute propofol intoxication, with "benzodiazepine effect"<br /> being a contributing condition (Midazolam and Lorazepam exacerbating respiratory and cardiovascular<br /> depression).<br /> <br /> <br /> <br />people's 207: diagram of MJ's body <br /><br /> puncture marks down the neck, arms, and behind the left knee.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />people's 208: close-up photograph of the rubber stopper<br /> on the empty 100mL propofol bottle <br /><br /> it had an unusual linear opening, not the typical<br /> syringe puncture<br /> <br /><br /><br /> <br /> <br />people's 209: different angle<br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /><br />people's 210: yet another different angle<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />This type of linear opening could be made with a spike (Walgren fetches peoples 157):<br /><br /><br /> <br /> <br /> <br />stipulation: the corrected transcript states CM infused propofol gradually over<br /> 3-5 minutes (originally stated 25 minutes). <br /><br /><br /> <br />people's 172: <br /><br /><br /><br /><br />
@Melody....thanks for sharing, where did you get all this information and pics from?<br /><br />I have called to those telephone numbers and they say these numbers don't exist.

<br /><br />I took the screenshots from the TMZ livestream and typed up some notes while they were talking. Flanagan made it really difficult to pay attention though.
