Michael Jackson drank intravenous drugs, it is to be claimed in court

The late singer’s personal physician Dr. Conrad Murray faces trial next week over the involuntary manslaughter of the ‘King of Pop’ – who died of acute Propofol intoxication in June 2009 – and his legal team are reportedly planning to show how addicted the “crazy” star was to medications to help him sleep.

The claims come after an autopsy report showed the intravenously administered sedative was swilling in his stomach hours after his death.

A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: “Conrad Murray’s team can’t understand how Propofol got into the stomach.

“It does not make sense unless Michael drank it. To them that will show the world how much of an addict he was.

“Michael was acting crazy in his last few hours, demanding drugs to help him sleep. He was always playing with the bottles, who know what he did.”

Murray will also claim Michael was able to inject himself to feed his addictions and had detailed knowledge of painkilling medications and intravenous treatments after decades of drug abuse.

The source added: “Dr. Murray is confident he can convince a jury Michael could have self-administered his drugs.

“It paints a bad picture of him as his doctor for feeding his addiction but Dr. Murray still insists he didn’t dish out enough to kill him.”

Meanwhile, a key witness in the case has gone missing.

Pharmacist Tim Lopez – who claimed he sent large amounts of a powerful anaesthetic to Murray’s girlfriend shortly before the singer’s death – has moved to Thailand without telling authorities, and his friends and family have reportedly refused to reveal his exact whereabouts.

Now, prosecutors want to use an earlier testimony he gave as part of their evidence, with Judge Michael Pastor expected to make a decision in the next few days.

Opening arguments in the trial are scheduled to begin on September 26.

If convicted, the medic faces up to four years in jail.

Dr. Who Gave MJ Propofol Forced to Testify for Murray

A doctor who repeatedly administered Propofol to Michael Jackson has been ordered against his will to testify on behalf of Dr. Conrad Murray … TMZ has learned.

Dr. David Adams — a Las Vegas anesthesiologist — put Michael under with Propofol on 4 separate occasions in 2008.

Dr. Murray’s lawyers want him to testify in the manslaughter case about MJs “behavior and reactions while under the drug and also how he responded to the administration of the drug.”

Dr. Adams vehemently objected to being subpoenaed, claiming he’s a “low-key individual” and he’s already lost business because of getting dragged into the case.

Nonetheless, TMZ has obtained a court order from a Las Vegas judge that forces Adams to testify.

Stripper Says Dr. Murray Wanted Sleep As MJ Died

A stripper who received a call from Dr. Conrad Murray just hours before Michael Jackson died told LAPD detectives the doc “sounded tired and he was like I’m gonna get some sleep whatever.”

The stripper, Michelle Bella, met Dr. Murray at the Spearmint Rhino gentleman’s club in Las Vegas in 2008. The story of how they met is hilarious, but first the important stuff.

Bella told detectives … on June 25, 2009, Dr. Murray left a message on her phone at about 8:30 AM. According to sources with direct knowledge of the case … Bella told cops Murray had mentioned Michael Jackson to her before and said, “I mean his schedule was obviously, you know — I know that he was like up all hours because of his work so when — so when he called, you know, he sounded tired and he was like I’m gonna get some sleep whatever.”

The interview is significant — TMZ broke a story on July 27, 2009 that “Authorities believe Dr. Murray may have actually fallen asleep during the time the drug [Propofol] was administered and may have awakened to find Jackson already dead from heart failure.”

Now the hilarious part. Bella told cops about the magic moment when she met Murray at Spearment Rhino — “He came in there with his scrubs and he was there with like a client of his.” Bella, who says she was studying to be a chiropractic assistant, says, “We were just sharing some like, you know, medical knowledge and this and that and I know he was intrigued with me.”

Murray must have been intensely impressed with her medical knowledge. According to the transcript, Bella says she “sat with him for about roughly like an hour and a half and he paid me $1,000.”

Dr, heal thyself!

Dr. Conrad Murray has pleaded not guilty to involuntary manslaughter in the death of Michael Jackson

The medic – who was the ‘Thriller‘ singer’s personal physician – appeared in front of Judge Michael Pastor today (25.01.11) at the Los Angeles County Superior Court and insisted he was “an innocent man”.

Members of Michael’s family, including his mother Katherine and his brother Randy, were in court to hear Dr. Murray’s plea.

Earlier this month, Dr. Murray – who was with Michael when he died of acute intoxication by the hospital grade anaesthetic Propofol at his Los Angeles home in June 2009 – was ordered to stand trial by Judge Pastor for involuntary manslaughter after a number of witnesses raised questions over his professional conduct.

During the preliminary hearing – where the prosecution had to convince the judge there is sufficient evidence for a full trial – witnesses included paramedics who attended the home where Michael died, his personal bodyguard and a Los Angeles detective who interviewed Dr. Murray.

The prosecution sought to show Dr. Murray had administered Propofol to his client on the day of his death before leaving him unmonitored.

Court testimonies further alleged Dr. Murray had not appeared to know how to correctly administer CPR, had tried to hide evidence of the medication he had been giving Michael and that by the time he called medics his client had already passed away.

The six-day hearing ended with testimony from two doctors who said they felt Dr. Murray acted outside of standard of medical care.

The 57-year-old medic – who was released on $75,000 bail – will next appear in court on February 7 and the selection of the jury for his trial will begin on March 28.

If convicted, Dr. Murray faces a maximum of four years in prison.

Authorities Gunning for Conrad Murray’s License

Sources tell TMZ …. the Medical Board of California will immediately ask the judge in Dr. Conrad Murray’s preliminary hearing to yank his medical license if Murray is ordered to stand trial.

Judge Michael Pastor should rule within a week whether there’s enough evidence to warrant a manslaughter trial in the death of Michael Jackson. If the judge orders a trial — which he’s expected to do — the lawyer for the Medical Board will ask Judge Pastor to suspend Murray’s license on the spot.

This will be the third attempt by the Board to suspend Murray’s license. The first two attempts failed. Murray is already prohibited from administering “deep anesthetics,” including Propofol.

Sources connected with Murray say he is furious that the Board is trying to suspend his ability to practice medicine, which would then make it impossible for him to pay for lawyers to defend him.

If California suspends Murray’s license, it’s likely the medical boards in Texas and Nevada would follow suit.

Michael Jackson’s doctor told police he had given the singer Propofol six nights a week for months before he died

A preliminary hearing into the cause of the ‘Thriller’ singer’s death heard testimony from Los Angeles police detective Orlando Martinez yesterday (11.01.11), who said that in interview the singer’s personal physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, admitted he had been giving the later singer the powerful anaesthetic for two months before his death.

Michael was found dead from acute Propofol intoxication at his rented Los Angeles house on June 25 2009, while he was under the care of Dr. Murray – who has pleaded not guilty to involuntary manslaughter.

The doctor told police he was worried the ‘Thriller’ singer had become addicted to Propofol – a powerful anaesthetic, not usually used outside hospitals – and had started to wean him off it two nights earlier.

According to the police interview with Dr. Murray, on the day of Michael’s death he had administered 25 milligrams of the anaesthetic — about half the usual dose at around 10.40am, after the singer had complained about not being able to sleep ahead of rehearsals for his scheduled 50 comeback shows in London.

Orlando quoted Murray as saying: “Mr. Jackson began to complain that he couldn’t sleep and that he would have to cancel his rehearsal and cancel his shows if he couldn’t get any sleep since he couldn’t perform.”

Dr. Murray said after giving the dose of Propofol, he only left Michael alone for two minutes before returning and realising he wasn’t breathing. However, the prosecution say emergency services show he didn’t call paramedics until 12.21pm.

When questioned by police as to why he said this was, Orlando said: “He said he was caring for his patient and he did not want to neglect him,”

Earlier in yesterday’s hearing, pharmacist Tim Lopez, owner of Applied Pharmacy Services in Las Vegas, where Murray has a clinic, testified to having supplied the doctor with 255 vials of Propofol during the three months before the singer died.

The four shipments of Propofol were purchased between April 6 and June 10, 2009, with most of the drugs shipped to the home of Murray’s girlfriend in Los Angeles.

One of the key points the prosecution are hoping to convince the judge of is that the doctor was distracted when he should have been monitoring the singer but they claim he sent emails and made phonecalls after administering the drug.

Earlier in the hearing, waitress Sade Anding testified she had been on the phone with the doctor at 11.57am, when he realised something was wrong.

She said: “I didn’t hear him on the phone anymore. I heard commotion as if the phone was in a pocket, and I heard coughing, and I heard a mumbling of voices.”

The hearing seek to establish there is enough evidence for Dr. Murray to face a full trial for involuntary manslaughter and will continue later today (11.01.11).

Dr. Conrad Murray — Winning ‘em Over One at a Time

Dr. Conrad Murray has a bit of a PR problem these days — and since people don’t just let you walk up and kiss their baby anymore, he did the next best thing … he bought a little girl a balloon.

A TMZ photog was out in Santa Monica on his night off when he caught a glimpse of Murray on the Third Street Promenade. Murray was walking along when he spotted the cute kid and the balloon animal practitioner … and made his way over.

Murray ponied up the few bucks for the little girl’s balloon and one for himself — it looked like he took the SpongeBob one.

If things don’t go Murray’s way next week, he may want to move into a pineapple under the sea.

‘This Is It’ Producer: I Didn’t Cause Michael’s Death

The producer/director of Michael Jackson’s “This Is It” tour is scoffing at Katherine Jackson’s wrongful death suit in which he’s named as a defendant, because he had nothing to do with the drugs or treatment that caused the singer’s death.

Kenny Ortega just filed legal docs — obtained by TMZ — asking the court to remove him as a defendant in Katherine’s suit, claiming, “Kenneth Ortega is not alleged to be involved in the medical treatment or administration of drugs that allegedly caused Michael Jackson’s death.”

Ortega’s lawyer adds … Kenny never had a contract with Dr. Conrad Murray or with Michael Jackson, nor has he had any official affiliation with AEG.

Ortega’s lawyer says, “The naming of Kenneth Ortega as a defendant in this action, without any basis, without any substantive charging allegations against him, is a gross error.”

Michael JacksonMichael Jackson’s Son Will Not Be Witness at Prelim

The prosecutor in the Michael Jackson manslaughter preliminary hearing — which begins tomorrow — will not call Michael’s eldest son, Prince Michael, to testify about what he saw the day his dad died … sources tell TMZ.

Dr. Conrad Murray has said after administering CPR he ran downstairs and asked the chef to send up Prince Michael, who saw his dad’s lifeless body laying in the bed.

In fact, we’re told no one from MJ’s family will be called to the stand during the prelim.

As TMZ first reported, prosecutors plan to call 30 witnesses during the 2-week prelim … many of whom will be medical professionals offering opinions about the standard of care administered by Dr. Murray.

There will be no “star witness” in the prelim. Sources tell us the various witnesses will form building blocks, making the case that Dr. Murray acted recklessly by administering Propofol and other drugs to Jackson the day he died.

Michael Jackson Concert Tours on Trial

TMZ has learned … Michael Jackson’s weakened state during various concert tours throughout his life — as well as preparations for the London concerts that never took place — could become powerful evidence in the defense of Dr. Conrad Murray.

Sources connected with the criminal case tell TMZ … there’s “compelling evidence” that MJ was in weakened health whenever he went on tour. Specifically, people who went on various tours — including the “Bad” and “Dangerous” concerts — say Jackson was frequently “dehydrated, medicated, and sleep-deprived.”

Just like with Dr. Murray, Jackson had a doctor who accompanied him during rehearsals and tours, attending to his needs.

The point … the grueling concert schedules reduced MJ to a physical mess, prone to relying on and demanding drugs to sleep.

The “This Is It” London tour was especially grueling, because AEG added dozens of concert dates for Michael, who was already in an extremely weakened state and terrified he would fail.

All of this dovetails into a defense theory … that Jackson felt enormous pressure to rehearse for the “This Is It” tour, and when he couldn’t sleep he relied on Propofol to do the trick. The defense believes when Murray walked out of the room and Jackson woke up, he accidentally infused himself with a fatal dose of the drug out of frustration and fear.

Joe Jackson — I Want A Half A Billion Bucks

Michael Jackson’s dad, Joe Jackson, wants somewhere between $10 million and $500 million from Dr. Conrad Murray to compensate him for the loss of his son’s support … this according to new documents obtained by TMZ.

In the docs — part of Joe’s wrongful death lawsuit — he claims the money he seeks is in “the realistic range of provable damages.”

Joe says 20% of his damages are for loss of support, 40% are for emotional distress and 40% are for “loss of comfort, aid, society and companionship.”

And this is huge … Dr. Murray says he’s broke and can’t settle anything because his insurance company is refusing to cover him.

Joe’s lawyer, Brian Oxman, also says he may take the depositions of more than 60 people who have info regarding Jackson’s death.

Dr. Murray says in his new filings he does not want to sit for a deposition until after the criminal case runs its course. It’s a whole 5th Amendment thing.

New Claim: Michael Jackson Supported His Dad

Michael Jackson secretly supported daddy Joe Jackson … according to new legal docs.

In legal docs filed in Joe’s wrongful death case against Dr. Conrad Murray, Michael’s former alleged manager, Leonard Rowe, wrote a sworn statement in which he claims Katherine acted as Michael’s agent, funneling money to Joe for support.

And Joe’s lawyer, Brian Oxman, wrote his own declaration in which he claims he prepared financial docs for Michael during his 2004 custody battle with Debbie Rowe. In those declarations, Oxman claims Michael disclosed he was giving Katherine $50,000 a month in the early 2000s and later it went up to $66,000. Oxman says Katherine used part of the money to pay for Joe’s living expenses.

The legal docs are being used in the wrongful death case to prove Joe has standing to sue — in other words, he must show Michael had been supporting Joe during his lifetime.

Michael’s camp had no comment.

Michael Jackson — To Pay or Not to Pay

The Michael Jackson Estate made some interesting calls when it came to creditors — who got paid, who didn’t, and who’s still waiting.

The estate made a bunch of decisions on creditors’ claims, but four stand out.

– Dr. Arnold Klein submitted two claims for medical services in the months before Michael Jackson died — totaling $58,522.89. Pretty ironic, since some people in the Jackson world believe Klein contributed to MJ’s death. The estate has taken no action so far — neither rejecting nor paying the dough.

– Tom Mesereau, the lawyer who did a remarkable job in Jackson’s 2005 molestation trial. Mesereau submitted a claim for $341,452.05. The estate paid the lawyer in full.

– Kai Chase, the cook who was at Jackson’s home the morning he died and the woman who interacted with Dr. Conrad Murray that day, submitted a claim for $8,000. The executors compromised with Chase and settled the claim by making partial payment. This one is interesting because some of MJ’s family got pissed off when she made the rounds on TV following his death.

– Raymone Bain, MJ’s longtime publicist and friend who had a mega falling-out with Jackson, had filed two claims totaling $404,000. The estate rejected the claim and Bain sued. The court tossed her case out.

Joe Jackson has re-filed his wrongful death lawsuit against Dr. Conrad Murray — and now claims Dr. Murray and AEG staged an intervention with Michael Jackson one week before he died.

According to the new documents, representatives from AEG and Dr. Murray went to Michael Jackson’s home on N. Carolwood Drive on June 18, 2009 — and said they were there for a “drug intervention.”

The suit says during the meeting AEG demanded Michael “stop seeing Dr. Arnold Klein and stop taking the drugs Klein gave to him.” They instead wanted Michael to “take only the medications being given to him by Conrad Murray.”

The allegation is the intervention was intended to get Michael to adhere to Dr. Murray’s drug regimen so he could get more sleep. According to the suit, AEG thought Michael was missing rehearsals because of medications from Dr. Klein and other doctors.

Dr. Murray Wants Michael Jackson Fluid Samples

Sources tell TMZ … Dr. Conrad Murray’s lawyers will ask the trial judge today for an order allowing them to get fluid samples from Michael Jackson – to help with their defense in the involuntary manslaughter case.

We’re told Dr. Murray’s lawyers want to re-test some of the fluids to determine the accuracy level of the Propofol found in Michael Jackson’s body.

According to the L.A. County Coroner’s report Jackson died of acute Propofol intoxication.

We’ve learned the Coroner has fluid samples and we’re told they’ve been preserved.

Also today in court … Judge Michael Pastor is expected to set a preliminary hearing date.  The spokesperson for Dr. Murray’s lawyer, Ed Chernoff, has said whatever date the judge wants is fine with them … “If he wants it next week, we’ll be there next week.”

Conrad Murray Wrongful Death Suit Tossed … Almost

Dr. Conrad Murray could be temporarily off the hook in the federal wrongful death lawsuit involving Michael Jackson – all because Joe Jackson left some key information out of the paperwork.

TMZ has learned a federal judge is taking Jackson and his attorney Brian Oxman to task for failing to specify where two of the defendants — health clinics where Dr. Murray practiced — conduct their business.  Without that information the judge can’t determine if the federal court has jurisdiction over the case.

The judge has given Jackson one week to amend the complaint or have the suit tossed.

Even if this case is dismissed, Dr. Murray might not be fully in the clear. Jackson has a lot of options — including refiling the federal suit with Murray as the lone defendant.

Stripper Claims She was at MJ’s House with Murray

TMZ has learned … Joe Jackson’s lawyer will interview a stripper who not only claims Dr. Conrad Murray was at a strip club hours before Michael Jackson died, but that she was at Michael Jackson’s house after being invited by the doctor.

The stripper — who claims she was working at Sam’s Hof Brau on June 24, 2009 — claims Dr. Murray was at the club drinking just before midnight.

Now we’ve learned Brian Oxman, who is repping Joe in his wrongful death lawsuit, has spoken with the stripper’s “rep” who has scheduled a meeting.  Among the topics — the stripper claims weeks before Jackson died, Dr. Murray invited her to Jackson’s home in Holmby Hills. She claims she went late one night — after the club closed — and Jackson was there, however he was in a deep sleep.

In Oxman’s letter of intent to sue Dr. Murray, he accused the doc of drinking at Sam’s Hof Brau before treating MJ.

Dr. Murray’s reps have strongly denied he was at the club on June 24.  And, they say, Murray doesn’t drink.

Dr. Conrad Murray Saves A Life on MJ Anniversary

How’s this for irony?  TMZ has learned Dr. Conrad Murray may have saved another life … almost one year to the day after Michael Jackson died.

Sources tell us, yesterday Dr. Murray received a call from a Las Vegas patient who was complaining of chest pains.  Dr. Murray told the man it sounded like he was having a heart attack and he needed to call 911.  The patient resisted, but Dr. Murray persisted and the man eventually made the call.

The patient was taken to the emergency room at Desert Springs Hospital in Las Vegas, where doctors confirmed it was indeed a heart attack.  The docs placed a stent in the man’s heart.

Today, Dr. Murray visited his patient at the hospital. He reviewed the angiogram film.  The patient is doing well.

Before going there the doc had a private moment at St. Joseph Husband of Mary Catholic Church in Vegas. Murray also went to Barnes and Noble bookstore this AM.  And he got a frappuccino at Starbucks.

Remember, a few months back it was Dr. Murray to the rescue on an airplane after a passenger fell ill.

Joe Jackson Sues Murray’s Clinics, Claims Cover-Up

Joe Jackson is not only going after Dr. Conrad Murray in the wrongful death lawsuit, he’s suing the two clinics where Murray worked, claiming they are also responsible for Michael Jackson’s death.

The lawsuit names Acres Home Heart & Vascular Associates — Murray’s Houston clinic, and GCA Holdings (aka Global), Murray’s Las Vegas clinic.

According to the suit obtained by TMZ, “Defendants conduct of attempting to conceal the multi-state supply of drugs and the use of their facilities in Texas and Nevada to obtain medications was an extreme departure from the standard of care.”

TMZ broke the story … two women from Dr. Murray’s Houston clinic went to Murray’s storage facility the morning Jackson died and retrieved various boxes, this according to the manager of the storage facility.

One of the women, LaQuanda Price, told TMZ she went to retrieve a bio-hazardous box, filled with needles.   She did not explain why she would take such a box back to her office, but claims Dr. Conrad Murray did not direct her to go to the storage facility.

LaQuanda’s sister, LaQuisha Middleton, told us a different story.  That she went to the storage facility with her sister to retrieve a chair.

The suit also alleges the clinics negligently trained Dr. Murray, specifically in the administration of Propofol.

Brian Oxman tells TMZ he is filing a wrongful death lawsuit today against Dr. Conrad Murray for unspecified damages in connection with the death of Michael Jackson.

The lawsuit does not name AEG, though Oxman has alleged the company that produced “This Is It” was at least partly responsible for Jackson’s death.

According to the suit, “Mr. Jackson believes there are other parties responsible for Michael Jackson’s death but has not yet gathered sufficient information regarding their potential liability or responsibility.”  The suit says the complaint will be amended when sufficient info is gathered.

TMZ obtained a copy of the complaint, which will be filed in federal court this morning. In the complaint, Joe alleges Dr. Murray withheld vital information from the doctors and EMTs who were trying to save Jackson’s life — information that he had administered Propofol.

The complaint — much like the intent to sue document TMZ first broke — states that Murray tried to “clean-up the scene” before EMTs arrived.

The complaint alleges Dr. Murray felt he could change his story — from Jackson had no drug problem, to Jackson was addicted to Propofol — because he kept no medical records, as required by California law.

The complaint alleges Joe Jackson has suffered more than $75,000 in damages, the minimum amount required to get jurisdiction in federal court. The case was filed in federal — not California court — because Dr. Murray’s residence is outside the state.

A stripper claims she was working at Sam’s Hofbrau in downtown L.A. the night before Michael Jackson died and saw Dr. Conrad Murray in the strip club, drinking … something Dr. Murray has flatly denied.

The stripper says Dr. Murray was at the club several times in May and June. Sam’s Hofbrau is a couple of miles from Staples Center, where Michael Jackson had been rehearsing for his London concert that same evening.

A rep for Dr. Conrad Murray’s defense team tells TMZ Joe Jackson’s lawyer is flat-out wrong when he claims Dr. Murray was drinking at a strip club hours before Michael Jackson died.

TMZ broke the story … Joe Jackson’s lawyer, Brian Oxman, has served Murray with legal papers as a prelude to a wrongful death lawsuit. In those papers, Oxman claims Dr. Murray was at Sam’s Hofbrau — a strip club — on June 25, 2009, prior to treating Jackson.

The rep for the defense team tells TMZ Dr. Murray was not at a strip club when Oxman claims, nor was he there the night before. As the rep put it, “In the weeks before Michael died, Murray barely had time to take a shower.”

The rep also says Oxman got it wrong when he claimed Dr. Murray was drinking, because “He does not drink.”

As for whether Murray has ever frequented the club, the rep did not know one way or the other.  But one of the waitresses at the club tells TMZ Dr. Murray was at the club sometime in June of last year.  A stripper who works at the club tells TMZ she vividly remembers the night before Michael died because she’s a big MJ fan, and says, “It was dead that night. Dr. Murray definitely was not there.”

The club’s owner tells TMZ … at least twice in the last 6 months, a private investigator came to the club and asked various employees a bunch of questions about Conrad Murray and if they remembered seeing him at the club.
