Michael Jackson’s manslaughter preliminary trial underway

Dr. Conrad Murray‘s manslaughter preliminary trial in the death of Michael Jackson this week has attempted to demonstrated complete disregard in care by the King of Pop’s personal physician.

Approximately 30 witnesses are expected to testify to what they heard, saw and chain of events leading up to Michael Jackson’s death and up to the time he was pronounced dead.

Witnesses have ranged from his bodyguards, emergency personnel, girlfriends, detectives, coroner personnel, phone company personnel, hospital staff, etc.

The time line is being laid out carefully showing that the doctor bought drugs, shipped them to an ex-girlfriend’s apartment, administered drugs in a reckless fashion, failed to monitor his patient, phoned and text people while caring for what appears to be a dead patient, ordered staff to remove and cover up evidence, provided incompetent and basic medical procedures when required, delayed calling 911 in what appears to be an obscene amount of time, continued to cover evidence up even in front of emergency personnel, lied about giving drugs, deliberately never told anyone about the very drug that killed his patient, demanded his patient be transported to a hospital with a circus like environment occurring when it was obvious (and confirmed by emergency staff) the patient was already long dead, and then continued to insist on rescue measures at the hospital which appear to even if successful would have amounted to a brain-dead client, continued to hold back information to personnel regarding condition and treatment of patient and then left the scene.

Testimony also provided a glimpse in the scene at the home which forced young children to see their father dead while the doctor refused to still call 911 to get proper help.
