The manslaughter trial of Conrad
Murray, Michael Jackson's personal doctor, began Tuesday with a shocking
photo of the singer's dead body and a recording of his voice slurring
through an alleged propofol fog.
Murray arrived with his mother just moments before members of Michael
Jackson's family, including parents Katherine and Joe, and sisters Janet
and LaToya, pulled up to the courthouse.
Jackson's physician is on trial on charges of involuntary manslaughter in
the singer's June 2009 death.
"When people leave this show, when people leave my show, I want them
to say, 'I've never seen nothing like this in my life. Go. Go,"
Jackson is heard saying slowly on a recording retrieved from Murray's
iPhone with a time stamp of May 10, 2009, nearly a month before his death.
"I'm taking that money, a million children, children's hospital, the
biggest in the world, Michael Jackson's Children's Hospital."
This evidence, prosecutors say, demonstrates that Murray knew what he was
doing, and the effect it was having on Jackson when he administered the
propofol.
"This voice recording documents Michael Jackson highly under the
influence of unknown agents," prosecutor David Walgren told jurors
during his opening statement. "It documents Conrad Murray's knowledge
of what he is doing to Michael Jackson."
Walgren said Murray pumped Jackson with propofol as part of a lethal
cocktail of drugs then abandoned the singer to make calls and return emails
the morning of June 25, 2009.
Jackson, 50, died from an overdose of the anesthetic propofol, which he
allegedly used frequently to sleep.
If convicted, Murray could face four years in prison along with the loss of
his medical license.
