they were stopped. this is unbelievable to hear michael jack in this state. thomas? i thought you were going to play it. excuse me. it s horrifying. it s tragic. it reached my heart. it s so sad. it really underscores how incompetent this doctor was. i think this prosecutor gave a very impactful, very clear, powerful, educational opening statement. this jury knows that propofol is a dangerous anesthetic. it s not just like a sleeping pill. it s not just like an anti-depressant or anti-anxiety pill. it s not a question of how many pills. this is a dangerous solution that doesn t belong anywhere near a home and any time you administer it, you must be train and have proper personnel and have proper equipment. when you couple that with the fact that this doctor hid from
he equipment in jackson s bedroom where he was administering the drug and he left jackson unmonitored while he made phone calls and when he noticed something was wrong, he first called security before calling 911. he ordered that security to take the propofol, take the iv bag and put it into another bag out of sight of paramedics before he did call 911. the prosecution said when he was asked by paramedics what jackson had been given. he only said lorazepam. he never mentioned propofol until an interview with police two days later. let s bring in criminal defense attorney thomas mesereau who represented michael jackson in the child molestation trial. thank you for joining us. let s start off with the audio. i have to tell you when that was played, i don t know the reaction in the courtroom, but everyone was listening to it.
recording and said dr. conrad murray had his iphone and you can hear what they said is michael jackson under the influence. [inaudible] the singer unrecognizable really in what the prosecution said he was talking about his upcoming tour. the 50 concert dates he was so concerned about. how dr. murray ordered more than four gallons of propofol during the time he was working for jackson. that s a drug that is usually used as anesthetic in hospitals.
