LISTEN: Michael Jackson’s Own Words Used Against Dr. Conrad Murray

Opening arguments began today in the trial of Dr. Conrad Murray, who’s been charged with the involuntary manslaughter of Michael Jackson.

Many points were presented by Deputy District Attorney David Walgren, but among the most resounding came from Jackson himself.

Walgren played a May 2009 conversation that Dr. Murray recorded with Jackson during which the pop star slurred his words when discussing his upcoming “This Is It” tour.

“When people leave my show,” he’s heard telling Dr. Murray, “I want them to say, ‘I’ve never seen nothing like this in my life. Go. Go. I’ve never seen nothing like this. Go. It’s amazing. He’s the greatest entertainer in the world.’”

The prosecution contends the recording — from just six weeks before Jackson died — proves that Dr. Murray was doping the singer up on the powerful anesthetic Propofol, which led to his death.

Jackson was “highly under the influence of unknown agents with Dr. Murray sitting nearby,” said Walgren.

Walgren told jurors, “What happened during that time frame is that the acts and omissions of Michael Jackson’s personal doctor Conrad Murray directly led to his premature death at age 50.”

He added that the singer trusted his doctor, and “that misplaced trust in Conrad Murray cost Michael Jackson his life.”

    I don’t think the doctor force fed him these drugs. I think Michael Jackson requested them, and after a large sum of money was given, the doctor agreed. Don’t get me wrong, the doctor should be charged for giving him the drugs. But I don’t think it was premeditated murder. He really has no motive.

  • Miss Suzanne

    Any doctor who would give a patient that much medication, outside of a hospital, whether the patient requested it or not, is guilty. And it’s premeditated because the man had a medical license, which means he knew what he was doing… And anyone who says he didn’t know – just listen to this recording again.

    And I’m not a fan of Michael Jackson, I just hate incompetent doctors!

    (sorry, but I’ve had experience watching my aunt die like this)

  • Babybop728

    Well, now that I found out he’s on trial for involuntary manslaughter, I agree that he’s guilty. Why he’s pleading not guilty I have no idea, as this is obviously his fault for administering the drugs.
    I agree he’s incompetent for giving in to Michael Jackson. He doesn’t deserve a medical license if he doesn’t do what’s best for his patients. I just don’t think he wanted the guy dead.

  • REO

    did you guys ever think that someone else wanted MJ dead and so they paid Dr. Murray to possibly do it since he’s already been giving him drugs..that it was easier to just claim it was an “accidental” overdose…? errrr yeah shit happens.

    In my opinion, the whole Jackson family is dysfunctional. The mother and dad basically sold their kids into entertainment and lived off of them for decades. They are still fighting over his money. Yet, when he was alive, where were they when he was slowly killing himself? Oh, I forgot….they were at the bank getting their weekly allowances. Sick! While a lot of Jackson’s music was great, he was never the greatest entertainer and he was an overall loser as a human. The real victims are his 3 kids who were brought into this family of greed, drugs and mental illness. His death is on his head own in large part. He wore his body out filling it with drugs for years. Yes, the doctor should be held accountable for his part in the last dose he administered….he failed to monitor his “patient”. Money talked and common sense walked with Murray.

    i do not believe michael killed himself, michael may have requested the drugs. but isnt it a doctors job to do what is best for the patient, no matter what amount of money you are offered. i dont know if the doc did this intenionally but he knew you should not administer this drug to anyone outside of a hospital setting, yet he still did it. shouldnt that count for something? i believe that something happened, the doc waited a full 21 minutes after finding michael not breathing to call 911,mysterious. and i dont think michael wanted to die, he had his concert comeback and he wanted to show his kids what he did.he just wanted sleep. the concert promoters, the doctor, and everyone else should have taken care of him, not pushed him overboard, obviously he wasnt in good health. they should have helped him get better, and healthy again, and not just concered about the money. if everyone only had his best interest at heart none of this would be happening, and michael might have still been alive. i just hope michael gets justice, he has had a hard enouh life as it was. i just hope this doesnt turn out to be another casey anthony,or oj simpson case. i love michael with all my heart, and i just want justice for him and his family. god bless michael, RIP

    Just like Anna Nicole Smith, Michael Jackson had been taking drugs for years. If Dr. Murray didn’t give it to him, he would have found somebody else to get it for him. People with his cash can get any kind of drug they want. To blame one person is ludicrus.

  • Brenda

    For the sake of his children, it will be a good thing when this is all in the past. I have to agree with those who say that if not this Dr., he would have found another. However, this Dr. is responsible for the fatal dosage and should be held accountable. Gun or needle, whats the difference?
