As we enter week two of the involuntary manslaughter trial against Dr. Conrad Murray, the public is receiving an even stranger view into the closed little world in which Michael Jackson spent his last days. Even if we take Dr. Murray at his word, Jackson was oddly dependent on the doctor and afraid for his life as he prepared for the “This is It” performances that would never come to pass. Here are the main facts revealed today:
- Upon arrival at the ER with Jackson, Dr. Murray did not mention the “anesthetic propofol or when Jackson had been medicated or stopped breathing,” according to NBC News. The doctor claimed that he didn’t have a watch. {MSNBC.com}
- Murray insisted that ER doctors try to revive Jackson, even though it was medically evident that Michael had been gone too long to be revived. {Reuters}
- Michael Jackson believed he would be killed while performing in London on his last tour, and had planned to wear a bullet proof vest during the performances. {International Business Times}
