Michael Jackson’s doctor evaded paramedics’ questions

Conrad Murray’s trial for the involuntary manslaughter of continues and a paramedic reveals the doctor’s evasive replies to questions on Michael Jackson’s condition on the day he died. 

The doctor, 58, has pleaded not guilty but could face losing his medical license and face up to four years in prison.

Paramedic Richard Senneff told jurors that he immediately dispatched upon minutes of entering the singer’s bedroom because he “knew things weren’t adding up”.

Senneff said the doctor looked anxious and was sweating. When he asked about Jackson’s condition, the doctor declared nothing was wrong.

The number of irregularities in the bedroom appeared to increase according to Senneff during the 42 minutes he along with other Los Angeles paramedics tried to revive Jackson.

Murray was finally pushed to admit that he was treating the singer for dehydration and exhaustion after several medicine bottles were noticed on Jackson’s nightstand.

It was never mentioned on the night that Jackson had been given doses of propofol and other sedatives on top of the sedative lorazepam.

Prosecutors have argued that Murray repeatedly lied about administered fatal doses medications whilst the defence lawyers say Jackson had given himself the fatal dose of propofol when Murray had left the room.

During the trial Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor threatened Murray lawyers with contempt after being interviewed after Pastor had just hours before warned lawyers to not comment about the case outside of the court room.
