Conrad Murray trial -Day five.

[Talina]

No cross. Very short testimony. She called on the 25th (Dr. Murray cell phone) just before 9am. She had a very short conversation with Dr. Murray. She had just received his letter about shutting down his practice and had called asking for a referral to a new dr. Said she had known Dr. Murray for over 10 yrs.

 

[borndem]

Defense keeps going on and on about the treatment MJ received in the ER. This is only making their client look worse and worse for not getting MJ there earlier.

Why is defense making such a big deal about this balloon pump? It was just another tool in trying to bring life back where there was none.

That's what I kept thinking as I heard it, Thundar -- the only thing I could figure was that since the ER did perform those procedures, the DT might try to make it look like the ER folks thought there might be hope for revival, thus making Murray look less guilty... yes, weak, I know, but all they've got so far is "weak"....

That may have been their goal but to me, it made me think that if he had called 911 when it first happened that maybe there was at least a chance to save MJ but since he didn't, there was no chance.

Next witness: Consuelo Ng

 

[Talina]

Ms. Ng is not a nurse, no nurse training or education. Oh, wow she is naming all the women in the office and none of them are licensed nurses or any nursing certification at all. They were all cross trained and all helped with patient care and office duties.

This witness said before she exited the stand that Dr. Murray never referred her to another doctor.

 

[Thundar]

Prosecutor asked did Dr Murray perform procedures in his Las Vegas clinc? Witness replied no.

Is he certified for propofoll use? The defense insinuated he was. But why would he be if he did not do procedures in his clinic.

 

[Crosby87]

The fact Dr. Murray had not found another doctor to replace him when he send letters to his patients informing them he would be leaving is unethical afaik.

 

[Talina]

Defense going on and on about how Dr. Murray was different than other doctors usually are by becoming friend with a lot of his patients.

I'm not so sure that is a good thing.

Next witness: Bridgette Morgan

 

[Thundar]

Defense going on and on about how Dr. Murray was different than other doctors usually are by becoming friend with a lot of his patients.

I'm not so sure that is a good thing.

And that poor lady had to quit working for Murray "because of that Micheal Jackson thing" he had to close his clinics. That doesn't sound that good either.

 

[octobermoon]

Wow, she is young!

 

[Talina]

Met Dr. Murray in 2003 in Las Vegas. In June 2009 he told her he was MJ's personal physician. She called him at 11:26am on June 25. She did not speak with him when she called. He did not answer his phone. Very short cross. Witness excused. I'm not sure what the purpose of her testimony is....

Possibly to establish TOD for MJ and/or that Dr. Murray wouldn't accept personal calls at work which would dispel the rumor Dr. Murray was talking to his girlfriend when he should have been attending to MJ when he needed him.

The fact Dr. Murray didn’t answer his phone when Ms. Morgan called him at 11:49 on the morning of June 25th suggests Dr. Murray was attending to MJ.

I thought the time of her call was 11:49 but if she called him earlier at 11:26 am it could mean MJ was dead alot earlier.

Courts done for today.

I just looked up some information on the phone records. Apparently, this was at 11:26, the call was 7 sec, she did not talk to him. But this was while he was on the 30 some odd minute phone call to his office so that is likely why he didn't answer her phone call. According to his phone records, he called his office at 11:18 and the call lasted 32 min or thereabouts from what I've been able to look up.

 

[Talina]

I'm reading on TMZ that this last witness Bridgette Morgan is an exgirlfriend of Dr. Murray. I guess they did not let the prosecution go into that type of testimony.

 

[Melanie]

I certainly didn't like how the DT handled that last witness. I suppose that's their job, but the whole "are you nervous", and "where were you waiting today". Puhleeze.

Great - so CM was friendly with her grandma. Faboo -- what does that have to do with injecting MJ with an overdose of Propofal and not telling the medics or hospital about it.

Sorry - just my opinion.

I really like this witness .

Except she just said a few minutes ago she was involved in the decsission to try the ballon pump. She said it was Murray and Cruise who made that call. I still like her I dont think anyone noticed but me.

I noticed, too, but it didn't make me think any less of her.

She was impressive and seemed very truthful throughout. If a juror was as sharp as we are, Soulmagent (!!!!!

), he/she will probably not think less of her, either.
