Michael Jackson death trial takes odd twist

http://m.cnn.com/primary/cnnd_fullarticle?topic=newsarticle&category=cnnd_crime&articleId=cnn/2013/09/04/showbiz/michael-jackson-death-trial

STORY HIGHLIGHTS
NEW: Co-author of AEG Live propofol study was hired after losing pizza parlor job
NEW: Study co-author was "destitute, dead broke," AEG Live expert testifies
AEG Live funded the expert's propofol research paper
The wrongful death case is nearing an end after four months

Los Angeles (CNN) -- The co-author of a study on propofol addiction funded by AEG Live and used in their defense in the Michael Jackson wrongful death trial lost his medical license for writing illegal drug prescriptions, according to testimony.
Dr. Torin Finver was hired to help with the AEG Live study after he lost his job at a pizza parlor and took a job driving a Goodwill truck, said Dr. Paul Earley, who testified Wednesday as an expert witness for the concert promoter.
Der Co-Autor einer Studie über Propofol Sucht von AEG Live- finanziert und von ihnen in ihrer Verteidigung im Prozess genutzt verlor seine Approbation durch Verschreiben illegaler Medikamenten- Rezepte bezugnehmend auf die Zeugenaussage. Dr. Torin Finver wurde angestellt , um bei der AEG Live- Studie zu helfen, nachdem er seinen Job verloren hatte in einer Pizzeria und einen Job zum Fahren eines LKW Goodwill -Trucks übernahm , sagte Dr. Paul Earley , der Mittwoch als Sachverständiger für den Konzert-Promoter aussagte.
Finver was "destitute, dead broke, and I wanted to help him," Earley, himself a recovering heroin addict, testified.
Finer war mittellos, pleite und ich wollte ihm helfen", sagte Earley der selber ein ehemaliger Heroinabhäniger ist.
The revelation was a bizarre twist in the trial of the billion-dollar lawsuit filed by Jackson's mother and three children, which is being heard by a Los Angeles jury. The four-month-long trial is nearing a conclusion.
AEG Live lawyers will announce if they have any more witnesses to call before playing the video depositions of three more doctors on Friday. Jackson lawyers would then take several days to call rebuttal witnesses before closing arguments are heard, which is likely to happened around September 23.
Earley testified that he never disclosed to AEG Live lawyers that his co-author had lost his medical license. Ironically, the company is being accused of the negligent hiring of Dr. Conrad Murray, convicted in Jackson's death because it allegedly failed to check the Murray's background before hiring him.
Earley hat ausgesagt, dass er nie den AEG Live- Anwälte offenbart hat, dass sein Co-Autor seine Approbation verloren hat . Ironischerweise wird das Unternehmen der fahrlässigen Einstellung von Dr. Conrad Murray, in Jacksons Tod beschuldigt, weil sie angeblich daran scheiterten Murrays Hintergrund vor der Einstellung ihm zu checken .

Jackson lawyer Kevin Boyle also grilled Earley over his nondisclosure that he was working as a paid consultant in AEG Live's defense when he submitted the study for publication in a medical journal.
Jackson Anwalt Kevin Boyle hat Earley auch über seine Geheimhaltung gegrillt, dass er als bezahlter Berater für die AEG Live- Verteidigung arbeitete als er die vorgelegte Studie zur Veröffentlichung in einer medizinischen Fachzeitschrift übergab.
He said the concert promoter did not try to influence his findings, which were published in March in the Journal of Addiction Medicine.
Er sagte der Konzertpromotro habe nicht versucht seine Ergebnisse zu beeinflussen, die im Mäzr in einem Addiction-Medizin-Journal veröffentlicht wurden.
Nurse details Michael Jackson's fatal search for sleep
Jackson lawyers are hoping the controversy over Earley's work for AEG Live will distract jurors from his conclusion that Michael Jackson was a drug addict with a "grave prognosis" that would have shortened his life had he not died of an overdose of the surgical anesthetic propofol on June 25, 2009.
Jackson -Anwälte hoffen, dass der Streit über Earleys Arbeit für AEG Live die Juroren abhält von seiner Schlussfolgerung , dass Michael Jackson ein Drogenabhängiger mit einer " ernsten Prognose " war, die sein Leben verkürzt hätte auch wenn er nicht gestorben wäre an einer Überdosis des chirurgischen Narkosemittels Propofols am 25. Juni 2009 .

Each dose of an anesthetic his doctor gave him to help him sleep was like playing "Russian roulette," Earley said.
Jede Dosis eines Betäubungsmittels was er von einem Arzt bekommen hat um ihm beim Schlafen zu helfen war "Russiches Roulette" sagte Early.
Murray told investigators he gave Jackson infusions of propofol for 60 nights to treat his insomnia as the entertainer prepared for his comeback concerts.
Lawyers for the concert promoter hired Earley in their effort to downplay damages the company might have to pay if found liable in the pop icon's death. How much longer Jackson might have lived -- and earned money touring -- will be important if the jury decides AEG Live is liable for damages in Jackson's death. Jackson lawyers contend he would have earned more than $1.5 billion touring the world over the next several years.
Katherine Jackson and her three grandchildren sued Michael Jackson's last concert promoter, contending the company is liable in his death because it hired, retained or supervised the doctor convicted of involuntary manslaughter.
AEG Live lawyers contend it was Jackson, not the promoter, who chose and controlled Murray, and say AEG executives had no way of knowing about the dangerous treatments the doctor was giving Jackson in the privacy of his bedroom.
Jackson's mom remembers her 'sweet little boy'
Earley: Jackson went 'doctor shopping'
Despite writing a blog six weeks after Jackson's death titled "Michael Jackson: Addiction in the Privileged," Earley testified Tuesday that there "was insufficient evidence that he was addicted to propofol."
"He was given propofol initially for appropriate medical procedures, but at some point, he began seeking out physicians who would administer propofol to him," Earley testified.
Obwohl er 6 Wochen nach Jacksons Tod einen Blodg schrieb mit Titel "Michael Jackson: Abhänigkeit bei Priviligierten" sagte Early am Dienstag "das es unzureichende Beweise gibt das er von Propofol abhänig war". Ihm wurde ursprünglich Propofol für angemessene medizin. Behandlungen gegeben, aber ab einem Punkt begann er Ärzte aufzusuchen, die ihm Propofol geben konnten" sagte Early.
The last two instances of "doctor shopping" for propofol were late March and April of 2009, when Jackson asked an anesthesiologist to go on tour with him and then asked a nurse to help him find an anesthesiologist, he said.
Die letzten beiden Beispiele für Doktorshopping nach Propofol waren im späten März und April 2009 als Jackson einen Anästesisten fragte um mit ihm auf Tour zu gehen und eine Schwester fragte ihm zu helfen einen Anästesisten zu finden", sagte er.
Earley said there was no evidence Jackson's search for a doctor to give him propofol continued after AEG Live Co-CEO Paul Gongaware sent an e-mail to the singer's assistant on May 6, 2009, telling him Murray had agreed to take the job as his personal physician for the "[lexicon]This is it[/lexicon]" tour. "Done at $150k a month," Gongaware wrote.
"Sounds like he got it," Earley testified.
Early sagte es gibt keinem Beweis das Jacksons Ärztesuche um ihm Propofol zu geben anhielt nachdem AEG Live CEO Gongaware eine E-Mail sendete zum Assistent des Sänger am 6. Mai 2009, aussagend das Murray den Job als pers. Arzt für die TII-Tour annahm. "Erledigt mit 150000/Monat." schrieb Gongaware.
"Klingt so als wenn er es bekam" sagte Earley aus.

The Jackson family's lawyers contend that AEG Live executives ignored warning signs that Jackson's health began deteriorating after Murray began attending to him on a daily basis. Show workers sent e-mails describing a paranoid and frail Jackson who couldn't perform his standard dances or remember words to songs he had sung for decades.
A Harvard Medical School sleep expert, testifying in June for the Jacksons, concluded that the 60 nights of propofol infusions apparently robbed Jackson of rapid eye movement sleep, which is vital to keep the brain and body alive.
"The symptoms that Mr. Jackson was exhibiting were consistent with what someone might expect to see of someone suffering from total sleep deprivation over a chronic period," Dr. Charles Czeisler testified.
AEG expert: Jackson was a drug addict
Expert's conflict?
Soon after AEG Live's lawyers hired Earley as a consultant on propofol addiction in 2011, they agreed to fund his scientific research, which resulted in his paper titled "Addiction to Propofol: A Study of 22 Treatment Cases." The American Society of Addiction Medicine published the study in March.
Earley insisted in his testimony that AEG Live's funding did not influence the conclusions of his study or his testimony in the trial. But the Jackson lawyer hammered the doctor about the lack of disclosure to the scientific journal and his collaborator that he was being paid to be an expert witness in the trial.
He informed them that he was doing research for the company, but the trial aspect was "irrelevant," Earley said.
"It's irrelevant to health care professionals," he said. "It wouldn't affect their understanding of the paper."

After four months, Michael Jackson wrongful death case nears end

http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-michael-jackson-case-20130904,0,7515986.story

Prozess geht nach 4 Monaten dem Ende zu
September 5, 2013, 6:00 a.m.

After more than four months of testimony, the Michael Jackson wrongful death case could finally go to the jury later this month.
Court clerk Neli Raya said she expects the case willl be handed to the jury in about 2 1/2 weeks.
Gerichtsdienerin Neli Raya sagtn dass sie erwartet das der Fall in 2,5 Wochen der Jury übergeben wird.


Marvin Putnam, attorney for AEG Live, has said he expects to rest his case next Friday at the latest. Then each side could call rebuttal witnesses, and attorneys could argue over the instructions the judge will give the 12 jurors who have sat through the marathon.
Marivn Putnam, AEG-Anwalt sagt das erwartet seinen Fall spätestens kommende Woche Freitag abzuschließen. Dann kann jede Seite ihre Rebuttal Zeugen aufrufen und Anwälte können über die Anweisungen an die 12 Jurymitlgieder diskutieren, die durch einen Marathon gingen.

While jurors have heard from financial experts, AEG executives, doctors and Jackson family members, none of the celebrities on the attorneys witness lists — Prince, Spike Lee, Quincy Jones and Diana Ross among them — have been called to testify.
Während die Juroren von Finanzexperten, AEG-Executiven, Jackson-Familienmitgliedern hörten wurde keiner der Promis aufgerufen die auf den Zeugenlisten standen wie Prince, Spike Lee, Qunincy Jones, Diana Ross...

The case revolves around the question of who controlled Dr. Conrad Murray, the cardiologist who administered the fatal dose of the anesthetic propofol to Jackson at the singer’s rented Holmby Hills home on June 25, 2009.
Jackson was preparing for a 50-concert comeback in London that was being promoted and produced by AEG. Murray was convicted of involuntary manslaughter and is serving a jail sentence.
The Jacksons say that AEG negligently hired and supervised Murray, while AEG says the singer hired him and that any money the entertainment firm was supposed to pay him was an advance.

The Jacksons vs. AEG Live — Zeugen von AEG, 16. Teil

2. September 2013

Trotz gegenteiliger Aussage ging es letzte Woche mit Zeugenaussagen doch weiter. Zunächst sagte Dr. Petros Levounis, ein Experte für Medikamentensucht, aus. Anschliessend die Krankenschwester Cherilyn Lee, die bereits im Strafprozess gegen Conrad Murray ausgesagt hatte, sowie Dr. Catherine Quinn, eine Zahnärztin.

AEG Live will bekanntlich die Geschworenen davon überzeugen, dass Michael Jacksons Suchtverhalten geheim und ihnen nicht bekannt war. Die Jackson Anwälte hatten jedoch nie bestritten, dass Michael Jackson ein Medikamtensuchtproblem hatte. Als Michael Jackson während der Dangerous Tour 1993 der Welt mitteilte, dass er unter Medikamentensucht leide und in Rehabilitation gehe, wäre das ja nicht sehr privat gewesen, nicht wahr, fragte Jackson Anwalt Dr. Levounis im Kreuzverhör. In dem Moment war er nicht verschwiegen, so Levounis. Michael Jackson als medikamentensüchtig darzustellen könnte seinem Image unter den Geschworenen zwar schaden, aber die Relevanz für AEG Live in Bezug auf deren mögliche Haftung ist fraglich, da Opiade (Schmerzmittel) im Rahmen von Michael Jacksons Tod gemäss gerichtsmedizinischem Bericht keine Rolle gespielt hatten. Wäre Dr. Levounis übrigens der Meinung gewesen, dass Michael Jackson süchtig nach Propfol gewesen war, hätte die Richterin ihn nicht aussagen lassen.

Dr. Levounis fand beim Studieren der Unterlagen keinen Beweis dafür, dass Michael Jackson nach Verlassen der Reha-Klinik 1993 bis 2001 bzw. zwischen Juli 2003 und Ende 2008 Schmerzmittel eingenommen hatte. Es komme oft vor, dass Suchtverhalten zwischendurch in Remission ginge, so Levounis.

Unter Kreuzverhör räumte Dr. Levounis ein, dass er keine Beweise dafür fand, dass Michael Jackson sich mit Beruhingungsmitteln injiziert hatte oder illegale Drogen wie Kokain, Meth oder Heroin genommen habe oder Medikamente dazu missbrauchte, um euphorisch oder high zu werden. Ebenfalls gab es keine Beweise dafür, dass Michael Jackson mehr Schmerzmittel zu sich genommen hatte, als die Ärzte ihm verschrieben hatten.

Wie bereits einschlägig bekannt war Paul Gongaware, co-CEO von AEG Live, während der Dangerous Tour als Tour Manager tätig. Dr. Levounis gestand entsprechend ein, dass es Beweise dafür gebe, dass Gongaware bereits 15 Jahre vor Michael Jacksons Tod von dessen Suchtverhalten in Bezug auf Schmerzmittel wussste.

Dr. Levounis sagte zudem aus, dass es gefährlich sei, wenn ein Arzt mit seinem medikamentensüchtigen Patienten zu freundlich wird, was bei Murray der Fall war — eine Aussage, die letztlich der Jackson Seite hilfreich sein könnte. “Eine sehr enge Freundschaft zwischen einem medikamentensüchtigen Patienten und einem Arzt ist problematisch. Es macht es für den Patienten einfacher nach Medikamenten zu fragen und es macht es dem Arzt schwieriger nicht nachzugeben”, so Dr. Levounis.

Als nächstes war die Krankenschwester Cherilyn Lee dran. Bevor Murray Michael Jackson Propofolinfusionen verabreichte, behandelte Lee Michaels Schlaflosigkeit mit einem intravenösen Vitamincocktail. Lee begann am 1. Februar 2009 mit ihrer Behandlung. “Ich war besorgt, dass [Michael Jackson] Red Bull trank”, so Lee. Während ihres ersten Treffens hatte er mehrere Dosen Red Bull getrunken. “Ich dachte mir, dass seine Müdigkeit damit zusammen hängte”, so Lee. Nachdem Lee Michael Jackson einen Monat lang mit dem Vitamincocktail behandelt hatte, fühlte er sich grossartig und sah gesünder aus, sagte Lee. Er kam aber noch immer nicht auf mehr als fünf Stunden Schlaf pro Nacht und mit den bevorstehenden intensiveren Proben für die Tour sagte Michael Jackson ihr, er brauche “etwas Kleines mehr”, so Lee. Als sie ihm vorschlug, er solle sich an einen Schlafexperten wenden, der sein Schlafverhalten bei Michael zu Hause studieren könne oder dass er weniger Licht oder Musik im Schlafzimmer haben sollte, war Michael nicht dafür offen.

Als Lee Michael Jackson am 19. April 2009 zu Hause besucht hatte, war er angeblich immer noch auf der Suche nach einem Arzt, der ihm Propofol verabreichen würde. “Er war nicht ganz er selbst. Er schien gestresst oder so. Er sagte, er sei unter grossem Druck, die Proben zum Abschluss zu bringen und er sagte ‘ich brauche meinen Schlaf, so dass ich das schaffe’”, so Lee. Michael Jackson, so Lee, habe sie gebeten, ihm bei Propofolinfusionen behilflich zu sein und ihn nicht mehr nur mit den Vitamincocktails zu versorgen. Da Lee Propofol nicht bekannt war, schaute sie nach, was dies für ein Medikament sei. “Ich erinnere mich, wie ich ihm sagte, dass dies nicht für den Heimgebrauch war… Es war definitiv kein Medikament, um Schlaflosigkeit zu behandeln”, so Lee. Lee las ihre handschriftlichen Notizen von jenem Tag dem Gericht vor: “Ich ging soweit zu sagen, ‘ich verstehe, dass Sie gut schlafen wollen — so richtig weg sein wollen — aber was, wenn Sie nicht mehr aufwachen’. Er sagte ‘Ich werde okay sein. Ich brauche nur jemanden, der mich mit der notwendigen medizinischen Ausrüstung überwacht, während ich schlafe’”. Michael Jackson habe ihr immer wieder gesagt, dass sie es nicht begreife und dass die Ärzte ihm gesagt hatten, dass es sicher sei, solange er überwacht werde. Im Anschluss an diese Aussage brach Lee im Zeugenstand zusammen und weinte: “Ich kann nicht mehr! Ich kann nicht mehr! Es ist so unfair. Mir ist so schlecht.” Die Richterin vertagte die Befragung. AEG Live Anwältin Sabrina Strong eilte zum Zeugenstand, um ihre Zeugin zu beruhigen. Als die Geschworenen draussen waren, wendete sich Jackson Anwalt Brian Panish an die Richterin und sagte, dass dieses Verhalten der Gegenanwältin unangebracht gewesen sei und darauf abzielte, den Geschworenen gegenüber als teilnahmsvoll zu erscheinen. “Angebracht oder unangebracht, es ist passiert”, so die Richterin. Panish verlangte, dass die Richterin die Gegenanwältin vor den Geschworenen rügen sollte. Die Richterin schlug vor, dass Panish seinen Antrag schriftlich einreichen solle und sie sich das dann anschauen werde.

Letzte Woche ebenfalls ausgesagt hatte Dr. Catherine Quinn, eine Zahnärztin, die sich auf die Verabreichung von Narkosemitteln während zahnärztlichen Behandlungen spezialisiert. Dr. Quinn sagte aus, dass Michael Jackson sie 1998 darum bat, ihm Propofol zu verabreichen. “Er sagte mir, dass er unter Schlafproblemen litt”, so Dr. Quinn. “Ich sagte ihm, dass es nicht angebracht sei, dies mittels eines Narkosemittels zu behandeln. Er solle mit seinem Hausarzt sprechen und ihn fragen, welche Schlafmittel er ihm empfehlen könne. Ich sagte ihm, dass der Schlaf, den er infolge eines Narkosemittels kriegt, kein richtiger Schlaf sei. Es sei kein erholsamer Schlaf. Er sagte mir, dass er nie besser geschlafen hätte [als unter Propofolbehandlung]“, so Dr. Quinn.

Jacksons vs AEG - Day 77 – August 29 2013 – Summary

No Jackson family members are in court today.


Cherilyn Lee Testimony


AEG direct

Lee apologized for being so emotional yesterday. (ABC7)

Lee brought the Physicians Desk Reference to MJ home to show him the side effects of Propofol. They include memory loss. She tried to convince MJ by saying what if he forgot his lyrics? MJ kept saying it was all that helped him sleep and he was told safe. MJ wanted to be knocked out quickly and other medications that Lee had took time to work. (ABC7)

On April 18th Nurse Lee stayed with MJ. He took the herbal medication to sleep at about 12:30a. He slept until about 4 or 4:30a. MJ stood up on the bed when he woke up. He just stared at Lee then went to the bathroom. When he came back he said he needed Diprivan. (ABC7) Lee testified after Jackson awoke after just four hours of sleep after one of her treatments on April 19, 2009, he became "very agitated." "He stood up on the bed and he looked at me and at 4:30 in the morning, it kind of scared me," Lee said. "It really startled me when he stared at me with his big brown eyes." "I told you I cannot sleep all night," Lee said Jackson told her. (CNN)

He was agitated about rehearsal and said he needed to sleep. He again assured Lee he had been told it was safe if he is monitored. MJ gave her a hug and escorted her Security who would take her home at that early hour. She never treated him again. (ABC7)

Lee testified she tried to convince him to stay away from the powerful anesthetic, also known as Diprivan, and the day she refused was the last day she worked for the late King of Pop. “I said, ‘I understand what you want… You want to be knocked out to go to sleep but what if you don’t wake up,’” Lee testified she told Jackson. “How did he respond to that?” AEG attorney Kathryn Cahan asked the witness. “He continued to tell me… ‘You don’t understand… I will be safe as long as I’m monitored,” she said. Lee testified Jackson asked her to stay to watch him sleep inside his bedroom in the his Carolwood mansion. She testified he startled her when he suddenly stood up on top of the bed at 4:30 in the morning.“(He) stared at me with those nice big round eyes… he said, ‘I told you I cannot sleep all night. All I need is something to sleep, I just need Diprivan to go to sleep,’” she testified Jackson pleaded. “When I said it is only used by anesthesiologists (he said), ‘Why don’t you bring one, you can bring an anesthesiologist and you can come too… so I could be monitored.’ He wanted me to know that he was going to be safe,” she continued. Lee testified she did not give propofol to Jackson (CBSLA) She testified he was frantic. He said, "This is not going to be a good rehearsal day." That was the last time Jackson invited Lee to his home for an insomnia treatment. (KABC)

On Father's Day 2009 (June 21) she got a call from MJ's security person. She heard MJ in the back ground saying one side of his body is cold. He said the other side of his body is warm. Lee told Security to take him to the hospital. He died 4 days later. (ABC7)


Jackson cross


Under cross examination, Lee said she first met MJ on January 28, 2009 when she went to the house to see the children who had colds. She told the jury how impressed she was the the close relationship she had with the children. She said you could feel the love in the house. MJ decided he would like her to treat him. She said MJ really wanted to be healthy. He followed her holistic plan and felt better. She said from the time she started treating him January 28 to her last visit at the house early April 19 she never saw any medical equipment. She never saw evidence of another Doctor treating MJ. She never saw Dr. Murray. (ABC7)

MJ went to London for a press conference about his tour and when he came back he changed. He wasnt' as jovial. She made a note in her medical records that March 24 was a very stressful day for MJ. She got to the house and there were many cars. MJ said he was stressed because of rehearsal and had to get a full night sleep. He wanted Diprivan (propofol). Said he took it before. He did not tell Lee who gave it to him. He asked her to find someone who would give to him at the house. She said no. She told MJ that any Doctor that would do that would only do it for money. On April 19th he said it would not be a good day - long rehearsal. And he hadn't had a good night's sleep. Lee gathered her things, MJ hugged her and she left. She never saw him again. (ABC7)

Jackson allegedly asked Lee, who had been treating him with vitamins since early February, to find an anesthesiologist who could put him to sleep him with the surgical anesthetic propofol. Lee refused, warning him it was unsafe. She testified that she told Jackson that any doctor who would give him propofol at home didn't care about him and was just doing it for the money. That April 19, 2009, session was Lee's last time with Jackson. (CNN)

After MJ died, she heard so many terrible things about MJ drug use so she came forward. (ABC7)

She was shown a picture of MJ days before he died where he looked very thin. She asked if they were sure it was him? Dr. Lee said if she were treating him she would be beyond concerned. (ABC7) When she was shown a photo of Jackson six days before his death -- two months after she had last treated him -- she appeared shocked at his deterioration.
"Oh, my goodness," Lee said. "That's horrible!"(CNN)

Dr. Lee wears a button that says she is so grateful that she attracts miracles. That is her mantra. MJ wrote it down as greatful. (ABC7)

Lee had glowing words for Jackson "I haven't really met anyone who was so caring and so giving," she said. "After his passing, a young lady walked up to me at an event and she just stared crying," Lee said. "She said, 'I wouldn't be here today if Michael hadn't come to the hospital and paid for my brain surgeries and he didn't want anyone to know. (CNN)

Lee attacked AEG lawyers' contention that Jackson was "doctor shopping" for drugs. "All he was doing was looking for the best doctor to help with his insomnia," Lee said. "It just breaks my heart for people to label someone as doctor shopping when they're only trying to find the best doctor to give them the best care." (CNN)

------------------------------------------------------

Lee finished her testimony shortly after 12 noon. Testimony will continue next Tuesday September 3rd at 9:45a.

Dr. Levounis questioned by Jackson Attorney said there is no evidence MJ ever self injected Demerol. No evidence took drugs for a euphoria.

On recross, Dr. Levounis was asked if MJ is an addict despite no drugs, no symptoms, no sign of use? Dr. say addict with no evidence.. (ABC7)


Dr. Christine Quinn Testimony


AEG direct

She is a Dental Anesthesiologist from UCLA school of Dentistry. She treated MJ about 10 times from 1997 to February 2009. She would administer the anesthesia for MJ's dentist because MJ had anxiety. (ABC7)

Quinn didn't know the exact date of her meeting with Jackson, but said she knew Paris Jackson was an infant at the time. Paris was born in April 1998. Quinn didn't see her _ the baby was in another part of the hotel suite where Jackson was staying. (AP) She said in about 1998 (couldn't remember exact date) she received a call from MJ. She returned the call and spoke to his assistant. She was told Mj did not return phone calls. Dr. Quinn finally did speak to him and set up a meeting at the Beverly Hills Hotel. In her deposition she misidentified the hotel as the Bel Air Hotel. She called it the hotel on sunset today in court and the pink hotel. Under cross examination she realized it was actually the Beverly hills hotel. (ABC7)

Quinn said she brought her sister to the meeting because she didn't feel it was "prudent" to go by herself. Quinn said her sister stayed with Prince Jackson in one part of the hotel suite while she and Jackson went to another room to talk. (AP) She agreed to meet MJ at the hotel and brought her sister because she did not think it prudent to meet someone at a hotel suite. The meeting was brief. She and MJ stepped into another room to talk while Dr. Quinn's sister watched Prince who was about 2 years old. MJ told Dr. Quinn he was having trouble sleeping. Asked if he called Propofol by name, the Doctor needed to refresh her memory. After checking her notes, she said he did call it propofol. She said he asked her to administer propofol outside of a dental setting. She told him that was an inappropriate use of the anesthesia. He should talk to his doctor about the sleep problem. She told him that anesthesia induced sleep is not restful sleep but he told her it was the best sleep he ever had. MJ told Dr. Quinn he had tried other remedies but nothing worked. She said propofol not for insomnia and not outside a medical setting. She said he never asked for propofol again from her. She never spoke about the encounter except in the deposition and in court today. she said it was no one's business. (ABC7) Dr. Catherine Quinn, a dentist who specializes in giving anesthesia during dental procedures, said Jackson asked her to infuse him with propofol in 1998. "He told me that he has trouble sleeping," Dr. Quinn testified."I said that's inappropriate use of anesthesia," Quinn said. "He needs to speak with his physician about sleep aids. I told him that the sleep that you get with anesthesia is not real sleep, it's not restful sleep. He told me that it's the best sleep he ever had." (CNN)

Dr. Christine Quinn said Jackson summoned her to a Beverly Hills hotel in 1998 or 1999 and asked her to give him propofol. The request came after she met the entertainer while he was undergoing dental procedures. She said she refused the request and told Jackson it wasn't appropriate to use anesthesia as a sleep aid."I told him that the sleep you get with anesthesia is not real sleep, not restful sleep," Quinn said.Jackson responded by saying his time under anesthesia was the best sleep he had ever had, she testified. (AP)

Quinn said she gave Jackson anesthesia for procedures done after the meeting at the hotel. He never asked for propofol after the meeting or requested that he be kept under for longer than was medically necessary, she said. (AP) She continued to treat MJ with his dentist. The last appointment was February 2009. She remembered because there were paparazzi outside in the parking lot standing on their cars talking pictures of MJ when he got out of limousine. (ABC7)

She read about MJ's death from the propofol overdose in news accounts.(ABC7)


Jackson cross

On cross examination she told the Jackson attorney that MJ's dentist used and anesthesiologist because of his anxiety. (ABC7)


Cherilyn Lee Testimony


AEG direct


Cherilyn Lee - a Nurse Practitioner and Holistic healthcare practitioner. She treated MJ from February 2009 to April. At the first consultation on Feb 1, 2009 she asked MJ about 200 questions including drug use where he said no, no smoking, and no alcohol. The paperwork had his name as David Mich and his chief complaint was fatigue in the middle of the day. Lee thought it might be red bull. He claimed he had some problems sleeping and for that he took Tylenol PM. Claimed he used Zanax, Atavan, and Ambien 12 years ago not since. Testified that with her natural products MJ would only sleep about 5 hours a night. Continued to complain of fatigue. (ABC7)

My concern was that he was drinking Red Bulls," she said. He drank several cans of the energy drink during their first meeting. "I was thinking his tiredness and fatigue was related to that." Jackson "started to feel really great" and "looked healthier" after a month of her IV treatments of Vitamin C and other nutrients, she testified. But he still couldn't sleep more than five hours a night and with rehearsals for his "This Is It" tour cranking up in April "he needed something a little more," she testified.Jackson rejected her recommendation that he have a sleep specialist visit his home to study his insomnia -- or that he cut down the lights and music in his bedroom, she said. (CNN)

On April 18th, MJ talked to Lee about Diprivan - the commercial name for Propofol. He told Lee he just needed a good night sleep. She consulted a friend, a medical doctor, who told her it was an anesthetic used only in a medical setting. Lee went to her office to get her Physicians Desk reference to show MJ the side effects of propofol use and only in medical setting. MJ kept insisting his Drs had told him it was safe as long as he was monitored and that all he wanted was a good night sleep. She kept insisting to MJ and getting more and more upset in her testimony that it wasn't safe. He had been assured by his doctors its safe. (ABC7) Jurors heard from Cherilyn Lee, a nurse practitioner who said Jackson said he needed propofol to help him sleep in April 2009, a little more than two months before his death. Lee said she warned Jackson that propofol was unsafe for home use and he might not wake up, but the singer insisted that doctors told him he would be fine as long as he was monitored."His demeanor was, 'I have to have this. I have to have this to sleep. You don't understand, I have not had a good night's sleep,'" Lee said.Lee did not give propofol to Jackson. (AP)

Jackson was apparently still looking for a doctor to give him the propofol when Lee visited his home the morning of April 19, 2009. "He wasn't quite himself," she testified. "He just seemed really stressed or something. He said at certain points he was under a lot of pressure to finish rehearsals and he said 'I've got to get my sleep so I can do this.'" Jackson told Lee he wanted her help in getting propofol infusions instead of the vitamin cocktail IVs, she said. Lee didn't know about the drug, so she looked it up in her Physician's Desk Reference manual. "I remember telling him that it wasn't something he wanted to use at home," she said. "It wasn't a safe medication. It was definitely not a medication for insomnia." Lee's handwritten notes from that day described their conversation: "I went as far as to say I understand you want a good night sleep -- want to be 'knocked out' -- but what if you don't wake up," she wrote. "He said 'I'll be ok. I only need someone to monitor me with equipment while I sleep.'" Jackson "kept telling me 'You don't understand, doctors are telling me it's safe just as long as I am being monitored,'" Lee testified.It was then that Lee collapsed on the witness stand. "It's so unfair," she cried. "I am so sick." I can't do this anymore! I can't do this anymore," Cherilyn Lee cried at the end of Wednesday's testimony in trial to decide if concert promoter AEG Live is liable in Jackson's death. As she broke down, she was assisted by others in the courtroom including one of the lawyers. Lee broke into tears after telling jurors that she believed people, including Jackson and her own mother, have died because they listened to bad advice from doctors who overprescribe drugs (CNN)

Lee's testimony for the day ended on an emotional note. She broke down sobbing on the stand. The judge excused the jury for the day. Lee was being asked by AEG Live defense attorney Kathryn Cahan about the April '09 meeting where Jackson asked for propofol. Lee recounted showing Jackson the specific side effects of propofol and asking him what would happen if he didn't wake up. She said Jackson kept telling her that doctors had told him he'd be safe as long as he was monitored. Lee said he wouldn't say which docs. Lee started talking about how all medications have side effects and how doctors tell patients that they'll be safe on certain medications. Lee started to break down, saying it was a difficult subject because her mother had died in 2010 and she'd tried to warn her about all the medications that she'd been prescribed. Lee said she told her mom that she couldn't take all those medication. Her mother died, Lee said "because she believed her doctor." She started bawling, at one point putting her head in her hands. She said testifying was "so stressful for me because of what I have gone through." Cahan suggested they recess and the judge agreed. Lee continued to talk and cry as the jury shuffled out of the room. "I can’t do this anymore. I really can’t do this anymore," she said. "It is so unfair," Lee said. "I'm so tired." At this point, AEG Live defense attorney Sabrina Strong went up to witness box. Strong had been sitting in the audience, and she brought up two of Lee's relatives who had accompanied her to court. At least a couple jurors were still walking out, and plaintiff's lawyer Brian Panish complained about Strong trying to comfort Lee. Panish said it wasn't appropriate for a lawyer to comfort a witness while the jury was in the room. He argued the point for several minutes. Judge Yvette Palazuelos pointedly asked Panish what he wanted her to do. Panish said Strong should be admonished. Palazuelos told Panish that if he wanted an admonishment, his team would have to write a brief to show it was appropriate. By this point Lee had been taken out of the courtroom and was being comforted by her relatives in the hallway. Lee was composed within a few minutes of leaving the courtroom and said she would return and be OK for tomorrow's testimony (AP) "That's not appropriate," Jackson lead lawyer Brian Panish protested. "Lawyers don't do that. It's not appropriate for lawyers to come out of the audience in front of the jury.""Appropriate or not, it happened," Judge Palazuelos said. Panish argued that Strong was trying to "curry favor" with the jury by appearing compassionate. He demanded that the judge admonish her in front of the jury. The judge suggested he put his request in writing for her to consider. (CNN) At this point, a very upset Lee cries that it is the same with her mother who died in 2010 because mother believed doctors about chemo. Testimony ended and Lee was in tears. As the last of the jurors were leaving the courtroom an AEG attorney got up to comfort the witness. The Attorneys for Mrs. Jackson were upset with that telling the judge it was inappropriate in front of Jury. Judge said write a brief.(ABC7)

Jacksons vs AEG - Day 75 – August 27 2013 – Summary

No Jackson family members are in court today.

(source : ABC7 unless otherwise indicated)


Dr. Petros Levounis Testimony


AEG direct

Dr. Petros Levounis the head of the Psychiatry Department at Rutgers Medical School in New Jersey is testifying. He is an addiction expert.

Michael Jackson suffered a "quite extensive" drug addiction the last 15 years of his life, according to an addiction expert. Jackson's drugs of choice were opioids, painkillers given to him by doctors repairing scalp injuries suffered in a fire and during cosmetic procedures to make him look younger, Levounis testified. (CNN)

He testified the MJ was addicted to Opioids - in particular Demerol from 1993 to his death in 2009. Dr. Levounis said MJ doctor shopped to keep his supply of medications when his doctors expressed concern with the amount he used. MJ was secretive about the amount of medication he was taking and kept that information from his doctors.

Dr Levounis testified the 5 criteria were

1. he show evidence of tolerance for Demerol so he took more.
2.The Doctor also testfied that MJ would take more than the dosage recommended and there was evidence he was renewing prescriptions often.
3. The Doctor testified that MJ was Doctor shopping - that if he couldn't get the medication he wanted he could go to another doctor. MJ tried to cut down on his drug use but relapses. In 1993 goes to rehab in England - evidence of demerol use in 2003 and in 2009.
4. MJ showed evidence of physical and social consequences - he passed out at a meeting and his brother Randy tried many times to intervene.
5. Finally, MJ couldn't stop despite the fact he knew he was damaging his health..the desire was too powerful.

Levouni said addiction happens when a chemical "hijacks the pleasure-reward pathways" in your brain. "You remain addicted for the rest of your life," Levounis testified. "Michael Jackson's addiction was quite extensive and I have very little doubt that his pleasure-reward pathways had been hijacked and he suffered from addiction," he said.(CNN)

The last point Dr. Levounis made is that MJ and several of his Doctors had very close friendships and that was a problem. The close relationships made it easier for MJ to ask for medications and it is harder for the Doctors to say no. (ABC7) "A very close friendship between an addicted patient and a doctor is problematic," Levounis testified. "It makes it much easier for a patient to ask for drugs and it makes it more difficult for a provider to resist." (CNN)


Jackson cross

Under Cross examination Dr. Levounis went over the time that he reviewed the materials sent to him for his expert testimony.

Dr. Levounis testified that one of the symptoms is secrecy and yet MJ announced to the world that he had an addiction and sought treatment. (ABC7) "If he announced it to the world it's not very private, is it?" Jackson lawyer Michael Koskoff asked Levounis.
"At that moment, he was not secretive," Levounis replied. (CNN)

The final point under cross was that addiction is no longer used as a term to diagnose because not specific and the negative connotation. Now, people are diagnosed with substance use disorder!

Jacksons vs AEG - Day 74 – August 21 2013 – Summary

No Jackson family members are in court today.


Jeffrey Adams video deposition



Adams was a security guard for Michael Jackson who introduced him to Conrad Murray in 2007. He later worked for Murray. J. Adams worked with Murray from the day after Jackson died until the day he was convicted of the singer’s involuntary manslaughter (AP)

Adams said he completed third year of college at Long Beach State University in 1993. He worked school security for 8 years. After 1999 Adams moved to Las Vegas, worked at Burlington Coat Factory as loss prevention, looking at cameras, shoplifters for about 4 years. He also worked at Neiman Marcus during same time, left in 2007. After Adams said he worked as personal security for an attorney in Las Vegas (ABC7)

Adams testified he traveled with Dr. Conrad Murray everywhere. "I wasn't paid as his security, but I was his security," he said. "It was just understood that I'd be. There was no contract or anything of that nature or a job." "I started with Dr. Murray the day after Michael Jackson passed," Adams explained. (ABC7)

Adams' relationship with the singer was a bit confusing. He said he worked security at special events for Jackson, but also said he "didn't officially work for Michael, I orchestrated his staff." (LATimes)
Q: At a point, didn't you work for MJ?
A: I didn't officially work for MJ, I orchestrated his staff. I didn't actually officially work 4 him (ABC7)

Adams had his own security company called "Knockout Security," started in 2004. He said he met Dr. Murray in early 90s through mutual friend
Q: What was your impression of Dr. Murray when you first met him?
A: Tall, cardiologist. She told me he was a cardiologist. That's about it.
From the time Adams met Dr. Murray to when he moved to Las Vegas, he saw the doctor 3-4 times at barbecues in Los Angeles. Adams became a patient of Dr. Murray in Las Vegas, and so did Adams' father.
Q: Are you still his patient?
A: Oh, he's locked up now. No, not now. (ABC7)

Adams: The day after MJ passed I called Dr. Murray. He was in California. And I asked him was it true what I was hearing. He said yes. Adams: And I asked him if he was ok and needed me, and he said yes. And at that time my father told me to go to him. Adams said Dr. Murray told him he needed help because MJ had passed. "I told him he had taken care of my father for me and that I'd be by his side in this situation until it was completed," Adams recalled. "We went to eat together, we went to movies together, we went to criminal proceedings, meetings lawyers, we took walks together... Adams also travelled with Dr. Murray to Las Vegas, Houston, San Diego, Philadelphia, Boston, Miami. Adams said Dr. Murray's pastor in Houston was also his patient, as well as a number of other pastors and people he went to church with. Adams stayed in Dr. Murray's office when he was in Vegas and Houston seeing patients. Adams learned through TV reports that MJ had died. He called Murray, who was in Santa Monica. He traveled to LA next morning. "I made statements, you know, but he never discussed with me how Michael passed," Adams recalled. "He never clarified anything with me." We lived together, we had an apartment together, we did everything together," Adams said. Adams went everywhere with Dr. Murray from the day after MJ's death to Murray's criminal conviction. The last time Adams spoke with Dr. Murray was the day he was convicted. Adams said Dr. Murray never described what kind of treatment he was engaged in with MJ. (ABC7)

Adams testified that he met Murray in the 1990s through a mutual friend and remained his patient until Murray was convicted for involuntary manslaughter in the Jackson case. He testified that when Jackson died on June 25, 2009, he called Murray and asked if the doctor needed him. “I told him that he had taken care of my father for me and that I would be by his side in this situation until it was completed,” Adams said. He said he arrived in Southern California the next day and lived with Murray until his conviction, providing security and traveling with him to Philadelphia, Las Vegas, Houston, San Diego, Boston and Miami. He said Murray would see patients in Las Vegas and Houston. Murray never discussed the details of Jackson's death with him, Adams said. (LATimes)

Jeffrey Adams testified he was "positive" the first time Jackson and Murray met was in February 2007. (LATimes) Adams orchestrated security for MJ in December of 2006. He said his friend, Basheier Muhammad, who was MJ security, called him offering work He said he was positive that was the first time the two met. "Mr. Muhammad called me one evening in 2007, I want to say maybe February.. He did periodic work for MJ. "I introduced Dr. Murray to Michael Jackson," Adams said. It was in early 2007, as he recalled. "He said that MJ's children were sick and needed to go to the hospital and that MJ didn't want to take them to public hospital," he said. Adams explained it was due to the fact that they didn't have anything to cover their faces. Adams: And I told him I could reach out to my doctor, Dr. Murray, and see of he would be willing to come over and take a look at them. Adams said MJ wanted resume of Murray, if he could be trusted. "I said he's been my doctor, he's my friend, he definitely can be trusted." Adams: I told Murray I needed a huge favor from him, had a high profile client, couldn't give name but once he got there he'd know who was. Adams asked if Murray could check out MJ's children since they couldn't go to regular hospital. Dr. Murray told Adams that he would go at least to assess the situation. The doctor went that night, Adams wasn't there. Adams asked Mr. Muhammad next day if Murray showed up. He said yes, but never discussed anything further. "Other than Michael thanking me for bringing him over to see the children, that was the only conversation we had," Adams testified. Adams said MJ told him "I want to thank you very much, he was a very professional doctor, and I appreciate it." Adams said he wasn't going to ask for a resume because Murray was doing a favor. (ABC7)

The security guard didn’t recall the exact date he introduced Jackson to Murray, but meeting came about through another MJ security guard. That guard called J. Adams and asked him if he knew a doctor who could treat Jackson’s children. Adams recommended Murray. J. Adams knew Murray because he had treated him and his father. He asked Murray to do a house call at Jackson’s home, and the doc agreed. Jackson thanked J. Adams for introducing him to Murray, but they otherwise didn’t discuss the doctor or his treatments. (AP)

Adams said that one of Jackson's security staff members, Bashier Muhammad, called him and told him that Jackson's children were sick and he didn't want to take them to the hospital "due to the fact that they ... weren’t made up or didn’t have anything to cover their faces.” Murray was Adams' doctor and had also treated Adams' father. Muhammad asked if the doctor could be trusted. “I said he’s been my doctor," Adams testified. "He’s my friend. He definitely can be trusted.” Adams said he called the doctor within 10 minutes. “I told Dr. Murray that I needed a huge favor from him, that I had a high-profile client that I was working with -- I couldn’t give him that name, but that once he got there he would know who he was -- would he mind going over there" and examine his children, Adams testified. Adams declined a request from Muhammad to provide Murray's resume: "We were doing him a favor," Adams said. Muhammad told him the next day that Murray had visited Jackson's Las Vegas home. "Everything's fine," Muhammad told Adams. Adams said he did not know how many times Murray treated Jackson or his children. (LATimes)

Adams testified he would come over at the house and see Dr. Murray there sometimes after that. But he doesn't know how the relationship went
Q: Did you ever feel that Dr. Murray tried to hide his interactions with MJ?
A: No. (ABC7)

Jeff Adams knew Murray was at Jackson's house because he would sometimes see his car there. Likewise, Jeff Adams, said when he worked for Murray, they never discussed Murray’s treatments on Jackson. (AP)

Adams said he only saw Mr. Jackson and Randy Jackson come to the house one time while he was there. (ABC7) Adams was also asked about which Jackson relatives he saw visit MJ while he lived in Las Vegas. He only saw Randy and Joe Jackson. (AP)

"It was discussed what happened, what was he going to do from there" Adams recalled. He doesn't remember if Murray told cause of MJ's death. Dr. Murray told Adams he would need a lawyer. Adams was with the doctor in his unofficial position during the criminal trial. (ABC7)

Jeffrey Adams had known Murray for years and the cardiologist had treated his father's heart ailment in 2007. He testified that he called Dr. Murray to offer his help after he saw on television that Jackson had died."I told him he had taken care of my father for me and I would be at his side until this situation was complete," Adams testified.Murray told him that night "he was going to need a lawyer," he said.He and Murray "did everything together" from June 26, 2009 --a day after Jackson's death -- until November 7, 2011 -- the day Murray was convicted of involuntary manslaughter, he said.Jeffrey Adams said he served as Murray's bodyguard for more than two years without pay.Despite his close relationship to Murray, Adams said he has not spoken to the doctor since he was put in handcuffs in the courtroom and taken to jail.

Dr. Stephen Gordon, plastic surgeon from Las Vegas, video deposition


He said his records are electronically saved. He located the "Michael Jefferson" file. He said MJ chose to use this name to protect privacy. Dr. Gordon saw MJ professionally 3 times, never socially, spoke on phone maybe twice. (ABC7)

Dr. Gordon detailed his education background and experience. He is board certified in general surgery and plastic surgery. Doctor said he teaches plastic surgery to medical students and physicians' assistants students from Touro University. That started 3 yrs ago. Dr. Gordon does cosmetic surgery in his office, which is elective surgery intended to improve the appearance of a person. Dr. Gordon said he probably does more breast surgery than anything else, followed by body contour and facial rejuvenation. The doctor has an accredited surgery center her performs the procedures called Surgery Unit at ACCSC, A Complete Cosmetic Surgery Center. (ABC7)

He said if the surgery is major, the patient is always under general anesthesia. Only for minor things it's local anesthesia. Botox is generally done under local or no anesthesia, Dr. Gordon said. Filler usually has a local anesthetic component of some sort. Dr. Gordon: They have to get an UV started first. Then they're usually given some type of hypnotic that puts them to sleep, Diprivan. Dr. Gordon said he does not tell the anesthesiologist how much drug to give. (ABC7)

Gordon never saw Jackson socially. He met the singer after receiving a call directly from him, seeking an appointment. (AP) Dr. Gordon said Michael Jackson called him and the answering service transferred the call to his cell phone. This was in 2002. "At first I thought it was somebody playing a prank," Dr. Gordon said. "I really thought it was one of my friends just fooling around." "It was very pleasant sort of flattering experience," Dr. Gordon said. The doctor said he didn't believe it was Michael Jackson on the phone. Dr. Gordon testified he asked MJ which hotel he was staying. He said Four Seasons. The doctor called the hotel back. MJ told him to ask for Michael Jefferson. "I got the impression he was going to be interviewing me, as much as I might be interviewing him" (ABC7) Gordon said he initially thought it was someone messing with him, but Jackson gave him a callback number and he was convinced. "It was a very pleasant sort of flattering experience," Gordon said.The doctor said Jackson told him he really wanted to see him. (AP) Jackson appeared to be capable of dealing with doctors on his own, Gordon said. "He gave me the impression that he was used to telling doctors what he wanted them to do." Jackson personally called him in 2002 when he was looking for a doctor in Las Vegas to give him collagen and Botox treatments, he said. "At first I thought it was somebody playing a prank, one of my friends fooling around," Gordon said. He realized it really was the pop star when he called him back at his hotel -- asking for him under his alias "Michael Jefferson," he said. (CNN)

The doctor said MJ wanted to come after hours, when the office was closed and nobody was around, which doctor thought was a reasonable idea. Dr. Gordon said MJ came with 2 or 3 people entourage. He said his ex-wife and anesthesiologist, Dr. Virgil, were in the office. He said Dr. Virgil was there because MJ gave an indication he may wanted something done. The doctor testified he doesn't recall exactly what MJ wanted done, but it was some adjustment of some sort on his face. (ABC7)

On October 2, 2002, Dr. Gordon did first procedure, collagen injection of upper nasolabial folds. The Botox injection in Michael Jackson's lower eyelid area was for crow's feet, the doctor testified. First page of record was an agreement as to what will be done and what the itemizes charges for that service will be, including anesthesia . Collagen was administered under general anesthesia. Gordon said MJ expressed needle phobia, didn't want 2 see needles sticking on his face "It didn't seem an unreasonable request," Dr. Gordon said. Once MJ got into building, the entourage left. "He just wanted to have a little bit of collagen, nothing dramatic," Dr. Gordon explained. He said MJ requested to go under general anesthesia, was vey specific as to what he wanted. Putnam: How long was he there? Dr. Gordon: Couple of hours, probably. Prescription was under the name of Michael Jefferson. Dr Gordon said they were homeopathic medications: Arnica Montana, Bromelain, Vitamin A. "The patient desired correction of an unattractive area in his nasolabial folds bilaterally," the chart said. Dr Gordon wrote on the chart that he examined the patient, MJ, and he was found to be in good health, no obvious contraindication to surgery. Propofol was used in the induction of anesthesia in 2002, isoflurane, nitrous oxide and oxygen. Doctor also used Lidocaine to numb the skin. Under allergies, there are a few medications listed. Demerol and morphine cause nausea, it says. Dr. Gordon said the chart shows anesthesiologist doing his job from 9:00 to 9:20. (ABC7) Jackson went to his office on Oct. 2, 2002 for the first procedure, which was done after hours. MJ got some collagen injections. The injections were both in Jackson's face, some near his nose and he got Botox on at least one of his lower eyelids. He got anesthesia. Gordon said having a patient get anesthesia for those types of procedures wasn't typical. "He expressed a significant needle phobia." It was a short procedure _ about 10 minutes and Gordon said it wasn't a notable visit and nothing out of the ordinary happened. (AP)

Gordon’s medical records indicated Jackson returned two days later, but the doctor didn’t have any notes of what was done. (AP) Dr. Gordon said MJ visited 2-3 days later. He wasn't really happy with the collagen injection. He said he had a very small injected again. Surgery was on Oct. 2, 2002 and next appointment was Oct. 4, 2002. Dr. Gordon said he does not remember this visit. "It wouldn't surprise me if he came back 2 days later and wasn't happy with something," he explained. Dr. Habashi was the anesthesiologist. The surgery was from 8:25 to 8:55, longer than the first one. "This was in his record, and it's got his name on it." Dr. Gordon: These might be longer than they really were only because there may have been conversation in the operating room for all I know. Propofol was used again as anesthesia. Dr. Gordon said he knew he'd have trouble explaining it. "I can't even tell you exactly what we did." "The only thing that makes me think this is MJ is because it has his name on it," Dr. Gordon said. There's anesthesia record but not surgery record. Dr. Gordon said he knew this would be difficult to explain. The doctor said this record could be for another person. "I'm a little embarrassed to admit that, but it could be another patient," he said. Kathryn Cahan said in court the parties stipulated there was no procedure done that day. (ABC7) The anesthesiologist had notes that a 45-minute procedure was done, but the doctor doesn’t remember what happened. Gordon said it’s possible the procedure was a touch-up from the previous one, or the anesthesiology chart was for another patient. “I knew I’d have a little trouble explaining this to you,” Gordon told AEG Live defense lawyer Marvin Putnam on the video. While Gordon’s records were unclear, the attorneys agreed to read a note to the jury that a procedure did happen on Oct. 2, 2002. (AP)

Dr Gordon said he remembered trying to speak w MJ after surgery, but it was difficult to get hold of him post-op. "He'd come then disappear" (ABC7)

"I thought he was healthy," he opined. "He was pretty robust. He was taller than I thought he would be. And he seemed physically healthy." "Michael was a little bit of a whiner, having an IV started and about, you know, having Propofol injection," Dr. Gordon recalled. Dr. Gordon: He made the remark that it burned. And he actually referred to Propofol as milk, which I thought was a little unusual. "He just seemed to be more familiar with Propofol than other people," Dr. Gordon recalled. "He knew it was white and looked like milk." Dr Gordon doesn't know if MJ asked whether Propofol, "milk", was going to be used. He didn't recall MJ asking for medication after 1st visit (ABC7) The doctor also said Jackson appeared more familiar with anesthesia than other patients, and referred to propofol as “milk.” “Most people really don’t relate to it like that,” Gordon said. He noted he just overheard the conversation with the anesthesiologist. (AP)

The physician said his first encounter with Michael Jackson was in 2002 when he administered collagen and Botox injections for the star. “Did he specifically ask for the general anesthetic?” Gordon is asked. “Yes,” he replied. Gordon testified Jackson was unusually familiar with the anesthetic propofol, which his office used for general anesthesia.“He made the remark that it burned, and he actually referred to propfol as milk,” Gordon said. “He gave me the impression he was used to telling doctors what he wanted them to do.” (CBS)

On Mar 25, 2003 Dr Gordon's office sent MJ's bill-paying-people copy of investment analysis. Doctor sent it twice since no payment was made. Dr. Gordon: Normally, we're paid in advance. We took his word that he would honor his financial responsibilities. (ABC7) Gordon testified that he had trouble getting paid for the October procedures. He described Jackson as a “phantom” and difficult to reach. (AP)

"Well, he gave me the impression that he was used to telling doctors what he wanted them to do," Dr. Gordon said. Q: And how did he give you that impression? A: Well, just his specificity about what he wanted and where he wanted it and how much he wanted, how he wanted it done. (ABC7)

Dr. Gordon testified MJ was familiar with Propofol and that's what he wanted to go to sleep. (ABc7)

In July 2003, Jackson returned for another procedure. This time he asked Gordon to cut a “foreign body” out of his abdomen. (AP) Next MJ visit was on July 30, 2003. It was a procedure to explant foreign body from abdomen area. Dr. Gordon: MJ had claimed he had fallen and had sustained an injury to his abdominal area. Dr Gordon: He believed that there was still some glass or some other foreign body in his abdomen. He said it was painful, wanted removed. The surgery was under general anesthesia to cut out the whole thing and sewed the margins back together. Q: Did you remove anything from Mr. Jackson's abdomen? A: I didn't remove any foreign body that I could recognize. Dr. Gordon: There wasn't any glass, there wasn't any metal, there wasn't any wood. There wasn't anything that was inorganic. "So as far as I could tell, it was a negative exploration," Dr. Gordon said. "It didn't show any material thing." Dr. Gordon said he saw a small scar of some sort on MJ's abdomen. He performed this exploratory procedure and Botox on MJ. "I cut around what was supposed to have a foreign body in it, which was presumed to be wound packing, which, again, I saw no evidence of." (ABC7) Gordon removed scar tissue, but said he didn’t find anything inorganic in Jackson’s abdomen. MJ had a wound, but it had healed. (AP)

"He was getting ready to go and he said he wanted me to give me as shot of Demerol for the road" Dr Gordon said. "Michael I don't do that" MJ wanted 300 mg of Demerol. The doctor said no, didn't hear from MJ for 4 years. Demerol is a painkiller after surgery. "That's not something I prescribe," Dr. Gordon said. If patient is at the hospital, doctor said ok. Putnam: And he asked for a shot? Dr. Gordon: Yes, he asked for a shot. He said the normal dose of Demerol s 100 mg. MJ was asking for 300 mg, the doctor explained. "That's just too much," Dr. Gordon said. His impression was that favors like that has been done before. (ABC7) The doctor said as Jackson was leaving, he asked for a shot of Demerol “for the road.” Gordon said he was surprised by the request. Gordon said he wasn’t going to give it to Jackson, but asked him how much he wanted. 300mg the singer replied. Gordon said that a high dose and he refused to give it to Jackson. The singer didn’t argue, but did say he could handle it. “I got the impression that he had favors like this done for him before,” Gordon said of Jackson’s request for Demerol. (AP)

Dr. Gordon had a preoperative procedure. MJ wanted him to explore "I remember him saying he he had injury," Dr. Gordon said. "He said he could feel it it and it hurt," the doctor said. Dr. Gordon said reading the report it seemed someone did something to him. "I cut and looked at it and couldn't see anything," Dr. Gordon said. Dr. Gordon prescribed some pain medication, but not Demerol. He didn't see MJ for 4 years, until 2007. (ABC7)

The doctor said MJ reached out to see him but he was out of town and referred him to someone else. This was between 2003-2007. Dr. Gordon said it may have been a hand injury. Dr. Gordon referred him to Dr. Stephen Weiland. (ABC7)

He didn’t see the singer again for another four years. The next time he came to the office, Conrad Murray was with him. Murray presented himself and Jackson’s doctor and “spokesperson to some extent,” Gordon said. Gordon found the visit odd. He said Jackson acted like he hadn’t been there before, and he had never had a patient bring their own doctor to a visit. Murray had driving Jackson to the office and sat through the procedure. Jackson received a cosmetic injection, but didn’t get propofol. Gordon said he didn’t give Jackson any pain medication after that visit. His impression was Murray was taking care of MJ’s needs, he said. “There was nothing usual or customary about what he was doing, at all,” Gordon said of the 2007 visit. He never heard from Jackson again. (AP)

Dr. Gordon spoke with Conrad Murray. He said MJ was doing a show or something and wanted some more fillers on his face. "He wasn't too secretive abut being a cardiologist or anything," Dr. Gordon said about Dr. Murray. "He presented himself as being Mr.Jackson's personal physician and spokesperson to some extent" Dr. Gordon testified. It was on May 14, 2007. Dr. Murray arrived with MJ at Dr. Gordon's office. "He walked in with MJ, introduced himself and were there for Juvederm," he said. Dr. Gordon said he found very odd that MJ acted like he hadn't been at his office before, but it was not his first time. "He certainly tried to be the spokesperson for MJ. I never had a doctor feel like they needed to... this was a little different." Dr. Murray wrote a personal check to Dr. Gordon for MJ's procedure. Murray was present during the procedure. He said it was unusual. Dr. Gordon said he had never seen a personal physician pay for the treatment of a patient. Dr. Gordon: Because they had a very close relationship and Conrad made it very clear that he was taking care of his needs. Dr Gordon said he had a feeling that Murray was trying to wear two different hats, being MJ's personal physician and continuing his practice "They might have been there for quite a while that day, fussing with the appearance," Dr. Gordon said. 'He required a fair amount of codling," Dr. Gordon said. "At least he wanted to do under local anesthesia, which was a progress." Dr. Gordon said he wasn't sure if MJ didn't remember being there before or pretending to not remember. He said there wasn't really a doctor/patient because Dr. Murray was kind of the intermediary. The doctor said MJ looked healthy in 2007, didn't change much in his appearance. He never contacted MJ after that. (ABC7)

Dr. Gordon wanted to make more difficult to someone else, other than himself, to get their hands on MJ's records, used different last name. Dr. Gordon has an accredited surgery center. He never asked how many plastic surgeries MJ have had. He said he uses tricks so the patients don't get apprehensive with the procedure. (ABC7)

Dr. Gordon: He expressed he definitely wanted to do under general anesthesia since he didn't want to put up with many needle sticks. It was Dr. Gordon's decision to use general anesthesia. He did not think it was inappropriate. Dr. Gordon doesn't recall whether MJ inquired with drug was going to be used to put him under. (ABC7)

There were 3 contacts between 03-07. Every time was hard to find a vein in MJ, Dr. Gordon said. "Just absence of usable veins." It usually implies vein damage, he said. He doesn't remember seeing track marks on MJ's arms. He said it's unusual not to find vein in males. (ABC7)

In the July 30th, 2003 procedure, Dr. Gordon said he removed scar tissue and whatever else was there subcutaneous. The anesthesiologist used Fentanyl since MJ reported getting nauseated with morphine and Demerol. Regarding MJ requesting a shot of Demerol for the road, Dr. Gordon said MJ told him 'That's ok, I've done this before, it's fine'. "He said 300 mg was not excessive for him," Dr. Gordon testified. "He wasn't sufficiently nauseated that kept him from asking for it." (ABC7)

The check to Dr. Gordon that Murray wrote was for $1,300. Dr. Gordon was kind of skeptical of Dr. Murray. "He just seemed odd. There was nothing usual and customary what he was doing." Dr. Gordon said he never heard of cardiologist Dr. Conrad Murray before, and he knows several other cardiologists in Las Vegas. "He'd have me believe he had successful invasive cardiology practice in Las Vegas and Houston," Dr. Gordon said. "But if it he was that successful, why would he be someone personal physician?" Dr. Gordon questioned. "It seemed something he was telling me wasn't true" Dr Gordon said. "It's fair to say the whole situation was very odd and didn't add up." "I felt that a successful cardiologist doesn't go around being somebody's personal physician and speaking for them," Dr. Gordon testified. (ABC7)

"He presented himself as being Mr. Jackson's personal physician and spokesperson to some extent" when Murray accompanied Jackson on an appointment to have cosmetic filler put in his face on May 14, 2007, Gordon said. Gordon had treated Jackson several times four years earlier, but not when Murray was with him -- and he even wrote a $1,300 check to pay for the procedure, he said. "The whole situation seemed very odd and it didn't add up and that caused me not to fully trust the person," Gordon testified. "I felt like a successful cardiologist doesn't go around being somebody's private physician and speaking for them, in my experience." (CNN)


Dr. David Adams video deposition

Dr. Adams is a anesthesiologist in Las Vegas. He works independently with surgeons or medical providers. (ABC7)

Dr. Adams administered propofol to Jackson on four occasions during dental procedures. He said MJ never specifically requested the drug. The doctor said he and Jackson never specifically discussed propofol. Dr. Adams said Jackson appeared thin, but healthy. (AP)

Putnam: Did you ever administer Propofol to MJ?
Dr. Adams: Yes
P: How many times?
Dr. A: Four (ABC7)

Dr. Adams met MJ through Carlos Letilier, who's an oral surgeon in Vegas. Dr. Mark Tadrissi said he had a VIP patient coming in for a few procedures and if he was interested in doing anesthesia. This was in June of 2008. Dr. Adams scheduled a physical exam and the procedure happened a week later, he said. "I realized the magnitude of who I was working with, I wanted to make sure he was healthy and there wouldn't be any problems" Dr Adams said. Dr. Tradissi scheduled the physical with MJ. "They were cosmetic implants, dental implants, had a root canal," Dr. Adams said. "I never discuss really the drugs I'm going to use with the doctor," Dr. Adams said. Propofol is still the drug of choice. Dr. Adams said MJ was going to have a procedure and didn't want to know about it or feel anything. Dr. Tradissi introduced MJ to him. "He said he had them (anesthesia) before and he didn't have any problems." "He seemed thin, pale, but otherwise no medical problems," Dr. Adams said. "I don't believe they weighed him." The entourage and bodyguards were never in the room when MJ was being examined. It was just Dr. Adams and MJ. He checked his chest, lungs and looked inside the mouth. Q: How did he look? "Thin but muscular, healthy" he said. "Just pale." MJ had an abnormally large tongue, which concerned Dr. Adams because they were going to perform work on his mouth with an unprotected airway. Dr. Adams said he explained all the risks to MJ. The artist said he wasn't taking any medication, only vitamins. Dr. Adams checked to see if there was a crash cart in the room, basic emergency equipment in case something goes wrong. (ABC7)

Temperature was steady at 97 F and stable all the way thru. 100 by 60 blood pressure. Procedure took about 2 hours. Dr. Adams gave MJ Propofol. "I want to get this procedure done as soon as possible because of the unprotected airway." "I'm not trying to put him to sleep, I just want him not to remember," Dr Adams said. Dr Tradissi gave him anesthetic like Lidocaine as well. Dr. Adams said the amounts of Propofol he gave was the lowest he gives to patients. (ABC7)

Dr. Adams said he didn't bill MJ for any of the 4 procedures. He said if MJ referred Dr. Adams to other people would be more valuable. He said he also didn't know what to say when asked for how much it would cost. He normally bills the insurance company about $400/hour. (ABC7) Dr. Adams didn’t charge Jackson for his services, but told the singer that he wanted him to refer other patients to him. (AP)

The first time Dr. Adams gave met Jackson, he said he noticed the singer had a large tongue. He was worried that could be a problem. Sure enough, Jackson’s tongue blocked his airway during each of the four procedures, Dr. Adams said. He was able to quickly remedy it. Moving Michael Jackson’s chin would open up his airway and restore his breathing, Dr. Adams said. (AP)

There wasn't anything unusual about the first procedure, Dr. Adams said. When Dr Adams administered Propofol, MJ's tongue blocked the airway. They had to position MJ in a different way in the dentist chair to unblock the airway. Other than that, there were no other issues he said. The second procedure was a month later, also at Dr. Tradissi. Dr. Adams said it was pretty much the same procedure as before. Dr. Adams said he's done about 4,000 anesthesias, including colonoscopy. In about 500 times the tongue blocks the airway. Dr. Adams said MJ was perfectly happy with what had happened. First procedure was to take impression of dental. Second procedure was 6/3/08. Third procedure was on 6/18/08. Dr. Odabashian performed root canal. About 2 hours after the first procedure, MJ called to let Dr. Adams know he was ok. He said he was surprise MJ himself called. MJ said he was going to buy the house the sultan used to live. Dr. Adams said MJ was very pleasant, polite, personable and very quiet. The 4th procedure Dr. Adams performed was with oral surgeon Carlos Letilier. It was for screwing the 2 implants into MJ's jaw. (ABC7)

Dr. Adams: In the previous 3 procedures, Michael asked me not to give him narcotics. He just said he had had a problem w/ them in the past. Dr. Adams: So if you looks at my records, you won't see any narcotics. I didn't give him any, as requested. Dr. Adams: After it was over, he asked for something for the pain, and I remember saying are you sure? Dr. Adams: And we had mentioned Toradol, which is a nonnarcotic pain reliever, and he requested something stronger. The doctor said MJ told him Toradol wasn't going to work. Dr. Adams ended up giving MJ Versed an morphine for the pain. (ABC7)

Dr. Adams said he never discussed with MJ the use of Propofol and never discussed about the other doctors MJ had. (ABC7)

Dr. Adams recounted meeting Conrad Murray. The cardiologist called him on a Sunday afternoon in March, asked him to come to his office. Dr. Adams was getting ready for church when Murray called, and he went to the cardiologist’s office thinking Jackson needed medical care. (AP) Dr. Adams met Murray in late March, early April 2009. "After MJ died, I kind of went back through my mind and looked at what I was doing" Dr. Adams: I was up getting ready to go to church. Q: And why did you go anyway? A: If you're having heart attack or heart problem, I'm a doctor. This is MJ. I mean, if he says he needs something I'm going to go. This was at Dr. Murray's office. "Michael and Dr. Murray got out of the car, I got out of my car, we introduced ourselves to each other." Dr. Adams: I told Michael how ridiculous he looked because he had a scarf and he was all dressed in black and it was 1000 degrees outside. Dr. Adams: Usually he had a very relaxed look, maybe even pajamas, but this time he had on a suit coat, a scarf, a hat. (ABC7) Jackson accompanied Murray to meet with Dr. Adams. Despite being extremely hot, Jackson was wearing a suit coat and scarf, he recalled. (AP) Dr. Adams: We started talking and I believe Michael started talking about this tour. Michael explained why he was doing the tour. "He says the only reason I'm doing this tour is because I want to prove to my kids that I'm the best entertainer in the world," he recalled. "And I'm not doing it for any other reason," MJ told him. Dr. Adams said he was wondering why MJ wanted to talk to him. "I'm waiting for him to hold his chest or tell me he's short of breath or he's got chest pain," Dr. Adams said. (ABC7)

Instead, Dr. Adams said Jackson talked to him for about 90 minutes about his life, his practice, and other topics. Murray had left the room. (AP) Dr. Adams: I'm sitting in a cardiologist's office with Michael Jackson on a Sunday afternoon, and I'm just sitting," Dr. Adams testified. "He asked me to go on tour with him," Dr. Adams said. He explained Dr. Murray excused himself and MJ talked to him like an interview. "And he was telling me a little bit about him and how he felt and his family and different entertainers, we talked about an hour and a half" Dr. Adams said MJ told him he wanted to build a children's hospital. He talked about his family, kids, everything. "We talked about Steven Spielberg, Bono, the tour. He didn't have good things to say about those people either." (ABC7) Dr. Adams said he was anxious to find out what was going on, but Jackson and Murray conferred in another room. Adams finally told them he had to leave, and they asked him to hold on. Jackson and Murray came back into the room after a few more minutes. (AP) Dr. Adams described how Murray returned and was in the back of the office for 15 minutes talking to MJ. "I go back to the office, MJ and Murray walk back in and Murray really looked like he had just lost his best friend," Dr. Adams said. (ABC7) Murray looked upset by that point. Jackson asked Adams to accompany him on the “This Is It” tour, which took Dr. Adams by surprise. (AP) That's when MJ tells Adams he'd like him to go on tour with him. "And do what? I don't sing, I really can't dance so to do what?" he told MJ. "I'd like for you to help me get rest," Dr. Adams said Michael told him. "Every once in a while I need an IV, and he said I just need you to help me get my rest.". Dr. Adams: I'm thinking the guy's having a heart attack and they're asking me about going on tour. I couldn't even begin to fathom that. Dr. Adams said he had no idea what MJ meant by helping him get his rest. He said he told them he didn't have license to practice in England. (ABC7) The anesthesiologist said he couldn’t understand why he would be needed. Neither Jackson nor Murray ever mentioned propofol. Dr. Adams said Jackson would only tell him he wanted him to help him rest. Adams said Jackson didn’t want an immediate answer. (AP)

Adams, who administered propofol to Jackson during cosmetic dental procedures in Las Vegas four times in 2008, said Jackson and Murray never told him what his duties would be if he took a job with the tour. "I said 'I don't sing and I really can't dance, so to do what?" Adams testified. "He says 'Well, you know, I'm entertaining, I'm jumping around, I'm doing this. Every once in a while I need an IV," Adams testified. "And he says 'I just need you to help me get my rest.' They were pretty vague, but on hindsight I know what they were talking about." Jackson and Murray, however, never mentioned that administering propofol or treating his insomnia would be one of his responsibilities on tour, the anesthesiologist testified. Jackson never asked him to do anything medically inappropriate, Adams said. Adams hinted that there was jealously on Murray's part when Jackson courted him for a tour job. "Murray really looked like he had just lost his best friend" when Jackson was discussing it, Adams said. "Oh, he was truly upset." (CNN)

Dr. David Adams is a Las Vegas anesthesiologist who had put Michael Jackson under four times for dental procedures. There were no complications, and the two had engaged in small talk.Then on a Sunday in late March 2009, as he was getting ready to go to church, Adams received a call from someone he had never heard of, cardiologist Conrad Murray, Jackson’s personal physician.Murray asked that he meet them in his office on East Flamingo Road. Adams arrived first, Murray drove up soon after, with the singer sitting in the back seat.Jackson was dressed in black, with a scarf, “and it was about a thousand degrees outside,” Adams said. He told the singer how ridiculous he looked. They walked into Murray’s office and Jackson started talking about his planned comeback concerts in London. “He says, 'The only reason I’m doing this tour is because I want to prove to my kids that I’m the best entertainer in the world,' ” Adams recalled. Jackson and Murray went to the back of the office for 15 minutes.When they returned, “Murray really looked like he had just lost his best friend,” Adams said.Jackson said he wanted Adams to go on tour with him. The anesthesiologist thought it was an odd request, since he couldn’t sing or dance.Then, he testified, Jackson said, “I would like for you to help me get my rest.” That didn’t make sense to Adams. When Jackson told him that after all the action in his show he sometimes needed an IV, Adams told him that was Murray’s purview. Neither Jackson nor Murray mentioned propofol or that the singer had difficulty sleeping, Adams testified.Jackson said he wanted Adams to come to London with him but that they might take the show to other countries. He asked him how much money it would take for Adams to shut down his practice for a year.“I still wasn’t under the impression I was going to be practicing medicine,” Adams said, adding that he wondered if his job would be to sing Jackson to sleep. “It was sort of mind-boggling that someone would be asking me to go anywhere.”After the 2½- to 3-hour meeting, Adams went home to think about the proposition. He said he had three short conversations with Murray and told him he needed $100,000 a month for three years.
He sent a text to Murray, “What’s going on? I’m on board.”He said he never heard from either of them again. (LAtimes)

The doctor said Murray was truly upset with MJ's request. MJ asked that Dr. Adams didn't give an answer right away, think about it. "I never discussed Propofol with Dr. Murray or Michael Jackson," Dr. Adams testified. Dr. Adams said they didn't know how long the tour was going to last, they thought it might go to other countries after London. "I told them I needed enough money to shut my practice down and make it feasible," Dr. Adams recalled. "I think it was $100,000 a month." Dr. Adams asked for a 3 year contract, because he couldn't do it for just a year and then try to reopen his practice. He said he text Dr. Murray back asking what was going on and there was no response and no further communications at that point.(ABC7) The anesthesiologist agreed to think about it, and traded calls and texts with Murray. He was willing to go on the tour. Dr. Adams wanted $100,000 a month, and a three-year contract to accompany Jackson on the tour. He said he never heard back. (AP)

Adams said that after he offered to take the job for $100,000 a month guaranteed for three years, Murray stopped communicating with him. "I texted basically, you know, 'what's going on, I'm on board," Adams said. "And no response." (CNN)

The day MJ died, he texted Murray, never heard back.(ABC7) On the day Jackson died, Dr. Adams said he texted Murray his condolences. He never heard anything back from the cardiologist. (AP) Adams was in a Las Vegas operating room on June 25, 2009, when he learned Jackson had died. "I texted Murray 'I'm sorry to hear what happened. Take care,'" he said. Murray never responded, he said. (CNN)

Q: Did MJ ever ask you to do anything you thought was medically inappropriate?
A: Never (ABC7)

Dr. Adams said he never saw needle marks on MJ's arms. "Very difficult veins to stick to," he said. "Very muscular arms, very small veins." Sometimes Dr. Adams had to try 2-3 times to get an IV started, he said. (ABC7)

And that concluded his video deposition.

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — A nurse practitioner who treated Michael Jackson testified Thursday about the singer’s desire to use propofol in the months before he was administered a fatal overdose of the drug.

Cherilyn Lee told jurors Jackson was desperate for sleep on the last day she treated him for fatigue and insomnia in April 2009 while he was rehearsing for his ill-fated [lexicon]This is it[/lexicon] tour.
Cherilyn Lee sagte den Juroren Jackson war verzweifelt nach Schlafen am letzten Tage wo sie ihn behandelte wegen Schlaflosigkeit im April 2009 während er sich für seine TII-Tour vorbereitete.

Lee testified she tried to convince him to stay away from the powerful anesthetic, also known as Diprivan, and the day she refused was the last day she worked for the late King of Pop.
Lee sagte aus sie versuchte ihn zu überzeugen vom dem starken Betäubungsmittel wegzubleiben, auch bekannt als Diprivan und der Tag wo sie es verweigerte war der letzte Tag wo sie für den King of Pop arbeitete.

“I said, ‘I understand what you want… You want to be knocked out to go to sleep but what if you don’t wake up,’” Lee testified she told Jackson.
"Ich sagte:" Ich verstehe, was Sie wollen ... Sie wollen ausgeknockt werden um schlafen zu gehen , aber was, wenn Sie nicht mehr aufwachen ", " sagte Lee zu Jackson.

“How did he respond to that?” AEG attorney Kathryn Cahan asked the witness.
"Wie antworteten Sie darauf"? fragte AEG Anwalt Cahan

“He continued to tell me… ‘You don’t understand… I will be safe as long as I’m monitored,” she said.
"Er fuhr fort mir zu sagen.... Sie verstehen nicht.... ich werde sicher sein solange ich überwacht werde"

Lee testified Jackson asked her to stay to watch him sleep inside his bedroom in the his Carolwood mansion.
Lee sagte aus Jackson fragte sie um ihn schlafen zu sehen in seinem Schlafzimmer in Carolwood

She testified he startled her when he suddenly stood up on top of the bed at 4:30 in the morning.
Sie sagte aus, dass sie erschreckte als er plötzlich auf dem Bett stand um 4.30 Uhr am Morgen.

“(He) stared at me with those nice big round eyes… he said, ‘I told you I cannot sleep all night. All I need is something to sleep, I just need Diprivan to go to sleep,’” she testified Jackson pleaded.
"Er starrte mich mit seinen schönen runden Augen an.... und sagte, "Ich sagte Ihnen ich kann nicht die ganze Nacht schlafen. Alles was ich brauche zum Schlafen, ich brauch nur Diprivan zum Schlafen, sagte sie das Jackson bat.


“When I said it is only used by anesthesiologists (he said), ‘Why don’t you bring one, you can bring an anesthesiologist and you can come too… so I could be monitored.’ He wanted me to know that he was going to be safe,” she continued.
"Als ich sagte dies kann nur von einem Anästesisten gegeben werden sagte er "Warum bringen Sie keinen, Sie können einen Anästesisten bringen und Sie können auch kommen...so kann ich überwacht werden". Er wollte das ich weiß, das er sicher sein wird, sagte sie.

Lee testified she did not give propofol to Jackson, who died in June 2009 following an overdose of the drug administered by Dr. Conrad Murray.
Lee sagte aus, dass sie Jackson kein Propofol gab.

Murray is currently serving a four-year sentence at a L.A. County jail following his 2011 conviction for involuntary manslaughter in Jackson’s death.

Katherine Jackson is suing AEG, the concert promoters of her son’s ill-fated [lexicon]This is it[/lexicon] comeback concert series, claiming executives were negligent in hiring and supervising Murray.

AEG denies any wrongdoing.

The firm’s lawyer, Marvin Putnam, told KCAL9′s Randy Paige outside of court Thursday using the drug was Jackson’s choice and denied the assertion AEG executives pushed him to do so.
Firmen Anwalt Putnam sagte außerhalb des Gerichtes zu Randy Paige:

“They’ve tried to say in their complaint and otherwise that Mr. Jackson was forced to take propofol by AEG Live and a doctor of their choosing… We see that’s not true,” Putnam said.
"Sie haben versucht, in ihrer Klage und auch sonst zu sagen, dass Mr. Jackson von AEG gewzungen wurden Propofol zu nehmen und einen Arzt ihrer Wahl ... Wir sehen, dass das nicht wahr ist ", sagte Putnam .

Jackson family attorney Ryan Panish disputed the claims in an interview with Paige.

“AEG agreed to pay Dr. Murray $150,000 a month. They didn’t have to do that. The only doctor that killed Michael Jackson or that he ever had any issue with the quality of the care was the doctor that met and spoke with AEG and their top principles,” Panish said.
Jackson-Anwaöt Panish bestreitet dies in einem IV mit Paige.
AEG stimmte überein Dr. Murray 150.000 Dollar im Monat zu zahlen. Sie mussten dies nicht tun. Der einzige Arzt, der Michael Jackson umgebracht hat oder wo er jemals ein Problem mit der Qualität der Pflege hatte war der Arzt, der sich mit AEG und ihre Top- Angestellten traf und sprach ", sagte Panish .

Jackson would have turned 55 Thursday.


Edit: Ergänzungen aus einem CNN-Artikel:
http://edition.cnn.com/2013/08/29/sh...ial/index.html

"After his passing, a young lady walked up to me at an event and she just stared crying," Lee said. "She said, 'I wouldn't be here today if Michael hadn't come to the hospital and paid for my brain surgeries and he didn't want anyone to know.'"

"Nach seinem Tod kam eine junge Lady zu mir bei einem Event und fing an zu weinen" sagte Lee. "Sie sagte, ich wäre nicht hier heute, wenn Michael nicht zum Krankenhaus gekommen wäre und für meine Gehirnoperation gezahlt hätte und er wollte nicht, dass es irgendjemand wusste."



Although called as a witness by AEG Live, Lee attacked their lawyers' contention that Jackson was "doctor shopping" for drugs. "All he was doing was looking for the best doctor to help with his insomnia," Lee said. "It just breaks my heart for people to label someone as doctor shopping when they're only trying to find the best doctor to give them the best care."
Obwohl die Zeugin von AEG Live berufen wurde attackierte Lee ihre Anwälte wegen ihrer Aussage Jackson machte "Doktor-Shopping" nach Medikamenten. "Alles wonach er geschaut hat war zu schauen nach dem besten Arzt, der ihm wegen seiner Schlaflosigkeit helfen konnte" sagte Lee. " Es bricht mein Herz wenn Leute jemand mit Doktor-Shopping betiteln, wenn sie nur versuchen den besten Arzt zu finden un ihnen die beste Pflege zu geben.

The Jacksons vs. AEG Live — Zeugen von AEG, 15. Teil

26. August 2013

Am Mittwoch wurde den Geschworenen auch noch die eidesstattliche Videoaussage von Dr. David Adams, einem Narkosearzt, sowie Dr. Stephen Gordon, einem Schönheitschirurgen gezeigt. Am Ende dieser Meldung sind zudem die Links zu den Protokollen von Debbie Rowes zwei Tagen im Zeugenstand ersichtlich für diejenigen, die es interessiert.

Dr. Adams hatte Michael Jackson im 2008 im Rahmen von kosmetischen Eingriffen im Zahnbereich viermal Propofol verabreicht gehabt. Conrad Murray hatte, so Adams, im März 2009 ein Treffen mit Michael Jackson und den beiden Ärzten arrangiert, bei dem Michael Jackson Dr. Adams fragte, ob er mit ihnen nach London reisen würde. Nachdem Adams anbot, die Stelle für USD 100’000 pro Monat für eine garantierte Zeitdauer von drei Jahren anzunehmen, hatte er von Conrad Murray nichts mehr gehört. Nur wenige Wochen später hatte Murray das Angebot von AEG Live, Michael Jackson für USD 150’000 pro Monat nach London zu begleiten angenommen. Es kam jedoch nie soweit, dass klar wurde, was Dr. Adams Aufgaben sein würden auf der Tour. Dr. Adams hatte ihnen, so sagte er aus, gesagt: “Ich singe nicht und ich kann nicht wirklich tanzen. Was soll ich also tun?” Daraufhin habe Michael ihm gesagt: “Nun, ich entertaine, ich springe herum, ich mal das alles. Von Zeit zu Zeit brauche ich eine Infusion. Sie müssen wir mir einfach dabei helfen, dass ich mich ausruhen kann.” Michael Jackson und Conrad Murray wären sehr vage gewesen mit ihrem Äusserungen, aber im Nachhinein habe er dann gewusst, was sie meinten, so Adams. Explizit sei jedoch nie die Rede davon gewesen, dass er Michael Jackson Propofol verabreichen oder seine Schlafprobleme behandeln müsste. Dr. Adams stellte auch klar, dass Michael Jackson nie etwas von ihm verlangt hatte, das medizinisch unangemessen gewesen wäre.

Dr. Adams hatte in seiner Aussage angedeutet, dass Murray eifersüchtig schien, als Michael Jackson Adams für den Job als Tourarzt anfragte. “Murray hatte ausgesehen, als habe er seinen besten Freund verloren”, als Michael Jackson mit Dr. Adams über die Stelle sprach. “[Murray] war definitiv aufgebracht und verärgert”, so Adams.

Von Michael Jacksons Tod erfuhr Dr. Adams während einer Operation in Las Vegas. Er schrieb eine Text Message an Murray: “Es tut mir leid zu hören, was passiert ist. Alles Gute”, worauf Murray aber nie geantwortet hatte.

Am Mittwoch wurde den Zeugen auch die eidesstattliche Videoaussage von Dr. Stephen Gordon, einem Schönheitschirurgen aus Las Vegas, gezeigt. Dieser beschrieb die Beziehung zwischen Conrad Murray und Michael Jackson als “sehr seltsam”. Conrad Murray hatte sich bereits am 14. Mai 2007 als Michael Jacksons Hausarzt und bis zu einem gewissen Grad als dessen Vertreter ausgegeben, als Murray Michael zu einem Besuch bei Dr. Gordon begleitet hatte. Gordon hatte Michael Jackson vier Jahre zuvor bereits einige Male behandelt gehabt, aber nicht in der Gegenwart von Conrad Murray; Murray hatte jedoch einen Cheque in der Höhe von USD 1’300 für die Behandlung ausgestellt gehabt.

“Die ganze Situation schien sehr seltsam und es machte keinen Sinn und deshalb hatte ich dieser Person nie ganz vertraut. Ich dachte mir, ein erfolgreicher Kardiologe läuft nicht herum und gibt sich als Hausarzt und Vertreter von jemandem aus, so meine Erfahrung”, so Gordon. Gemäss Dr. Gordon machte Michael Jackson den Eindruck, dass er es gewohnt war, den Ärzten zu sagen, was er wollte er und er somit durchaus in der Lage war, allein mit Ärzten zu kommunizieren. So hatte ihn Michael Jackson im 2002 einmal direkt angerufen, als er einen Arzt in Las Vegas suchte, der ihm Kollagen- und Botoxbehandlungen verabreichen könnte. “Zuerst dachte ich, da nimmt mich jemand hoch; einer meiner Freunde habe sich einen Spass mit ihm erlaubt”, so Gordon. Als er aber zurückrief im Hotel, realisierte er, dass es sich um Michael Jackson handelte, der zunächst sein Alias Michael Jefferson angegeben hatte.

Seit Donnerstag wurde eine mehrtätige Pause im Prozess eingelegt (der Grund ist uns im Moment nicht bekannt). Ende nächste Woche oder Anfang übernächste Woche soll es wieder weitergehen. Übrigens, für diejenigen, die Debbie Rowes Aussage im Detail interessiert, hier sind mittlerweile die Protokolle zu lesen. Tag 1 http://teammichaeljackson.com/archives/9389 und

The Jacksons vs. AEG Live — Zeugen von AEG, 14. Teil

23. August 2013

Am Mittwoch hat Jeffrey Adams, der für die Sicherheit an Spezialanlässen von Michael Jackson verantwortlich war, vor Gericht ausgesagt bzw. wurde die Videoaufzeichnung seiner eidesstattlichen Aussage den Geschworenen gezeigt. Jeffrey hatte Michael Jackson Conrad Murray vorgestellt gehabt. Er war “sicher”, dass Michael und Murray sich zum ersten Mal im Februar 2007 getroffen hatten.

Adams sagte, dass eines Tages Bashier Muhammad, ein Security Guard von Michael Jackson, ihn anrief und ihm mitteilte, dass Michaels Kinder krank waren, er sie aber nicht ins Spital bringen wollte, weil sie “nicht parat waren oder nichts hatten, das ihre Gesichter bedeckte”, so Adams. Conrad Murray war Adams Hausarzt und hatte auch seinen Vater behandelt. Als Muhammad Adams fragte, ob man dem Arzt vertrauen konnte, sagte letzterer: “Ich sagte, er ist mein Arzt. Er ist mein Freund. Man kann ihm definitiv vertrauen”. Innert 10 Minuten rief Adams Murray an und sagte ihm, dass er ihn um einen riesen Gefallen bitten möchte. Er habe einen berühmten Kunden, für den er arbeitete und ob er rüber kommen könnte, um seine Kinder zu untersuchen. Muhammad bat Adams um Murrays Lebenslauf, den Adams ihm aber nicht geben wollte, da es sich um einen persönlichen Gefallen handelte. Am nächsten Tag hatte ihm Muhammad gesagt, dass Conrad Murray Michael Jackson in dessen Las Vegas Residenz besucht hatte und alles in Ordnung war. Auf die Frage hin, wie oft Conrad Murray Michael Jackson oder seine Kinder behandelt hatte, antwortete Adams, dass ihm das nicht bekannt sei.

Adams sagte aus, dass er Conrad Murray zum ersten Mal in den 1990er Jahren durch einen gemeinsamen Freund getroffen hatte und bis zu Murrays Verurteilung im November 2011 dessen Patient blieb. Als Michael Jackson im Juni 2009 gestorben war, rief Adams Murray an und fragte ihn, ob er ihn brauchte. “Ich sagte ihm, dass er sich um mich und meinen Vater gekümmert hat und dass ich an seiner Seite bleiben würde, bis alles durch war”, so Adams. So kam Adams am folgenden Tag in Südkaliforien an und lebte bis zu Murray Verurteilung mit ihm zusammen, kümmerte sich um dessen Sicherheit und reiste mit ihm an verschiedene Orte in den USA, inklusive Las Vegas und Houston, wo Murray einige Patienten behandelte. Die Einzelheiten betreffend Michael Jacksons Tod habe er nie mit Murray besprochen, so Adams.

Defense Expert: Conrad Murray’s Medical License A Built-In Background Check
Verteidigungsexperte: Conrads Murrays med. Lizenz ein Gebäude im Background-Check

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — A human resources expert called to the stand by AEG Live Tuesday testified it is rare for a company to check the credit of an independent contractor, particularly a physician with a medical license.
Ein Personalexperte von AEG Live am Dienstag in den Stand berufen sagt, dass es selten ist für unabhänige Aufragnehmer Credit-Checks zu machen, besonders bei einem Arzt mit med. Lizenz.

Human resources consultant Rhoma Young was called to testify in the wrongful death lawsuit brought on behalf of Michael Jackson’s mother and children.

When Jackson asked AEG to hire Dr. Conrad Murray to serve as his personal physician for the ill-fated ‘This Is It’ concert tour, AEG negotiated an independent contractor agreement with the doctor.

In July, attorneys for the Jackson family called their own HR expert to the stand, who testified that proper hiring practices require companies to assess the risks posed by an independent contractor. Conducting a credit check on Murray would have shown that the doctor was deeply in debt.
Im Juli haben Anwälte für die Jackson-Familie ihre eigenen Personalexperten in den Stand gerufen, der aussagte das richtige Einstellungspraktiken verlagnge, die Risiken durch eine unabhängige Auftragnehmer zu beruteilen. Die Durchführung einer Bonitätsprüfung hätte gezeigt das Murray tief verschuldet war.

“I absolutely do not agree,” Young testified Tuesday.
"Ich stimme damit absolut nicht überein" sagte Young in der Aussage am Dienstag.

According to Young, it is not common practice for a company like AEG to perform a credit check on an independent contractor.
Bezugnehmend auf Young ist es nicht üblich für eine Firma wie AEG Credit-Checks üfr einen unbhänigen Auftragnehmer zu machen.

Young also testified that a physician’s medical license is a built-in background check, requiring a criminal background check and the verification of skills, education and experience.
Young hat auch ausgesagt, dass die medizinische Lizenz eines Arztes einen eingebauten Hintergrundcheck aufweist beinhaltend die Überprüfung eines kriminellen Hintergrundes und die Prüfung der Fähigkeiten, Ausbildung und Erfahrung.

Katherine Jackson alleges AEG Live was negligent in the hiring and supervising of Murray, who was convicted of administering a fatal dose of the anesthetic propofol that killed Michael Jackson in 2009.

AEG denies any wrongdoing and maintains the doctor was brought on at Jackson’s request.
