Michael Jackson: Doctor’s trial focuses on final moments
 |
| Dr. Murray (middle) in court |
Lab results presented Thursday at Dr. Conrad Murray’s involuntary manslaughter trial show that Michael Jackson’s fingerprints were not found on medical evidence taken from his bedroom at a rented Holmby Hills mansion.
But investigators were not able to lift prints from several pieces of medical evidence — nine bottles of propofol, a syringe, IV tubes and sedative vials — and a set of mystery prints was found on other items. Prosecutors read a statement, written with defence attorneys, that informed jurors a lack of prints didn’t necessarily mean the evidence wasn’t handled.
Who touched the medication bottles and other medical evidence is important because prosecutors are trying to prove Dr. Murray administered the powerful anesthetic propofol, then failed to monitor his patient. But the defence argued that it was Jackson, not Murray, who administered a fatal dose of propofol June 25, 2009 — the day the King of Pop died.
A coroner’s report cited “acute propofol intoxication” in Jackson’s death. Defence attorneys hammered LA county coroner’s investigator Elissa Fleak, the first witness on the stand Thursday, with questions about the investigation in Jackson’s bedroom.
Dr. Murray’s defence attorney, Ed Chernoff, questioned whether a “substantial number of mistakes’’ had been made during the investigation in Jackson’s bedroom. Fleak denied doing anything wrong, but said she handled a syringe found on the bedroom floor.
