Murray's lawyers wanted to call Elizabeth Taylor to testify

Elizabeth Taylor, long time friend of Michael, was going to be a so-called "dynamite" witness in the trial of Conrad Murray, according to his lawyers.

Infact, among their different claims, they pulled out the underhand story according to which Elizabeth Taylor would have revealed that Michael Jackson claimed that he drugged his doctors on home visits so they would agree to give him more painkillers.

Still according to Murray's lawyers, she was also expected to say that Michael Jackson had been hiding a drug addiction since 1986. A source close to Murray’s lawyers said: “Her testimony was dynamite for the defense.” The insider added: “An insane story we uncovered was Michael considered himself a self-taught doctor and slipped tablets into drinks to drug his physicians.”

Aside from the fact that this story is so shamefully fake and defamatory, Michael Jackson has never had a behaviour like that since it has never been in his nature, so sincere and so sweet, although strong, not even in his most difficult moments, that he has always faced with honesty and fortitude. But most probably this is a common normal behaviour to Murray and his lawyers which have conceived it.

For some unknown reason, Murray hoped Elizabeth Taylor would clear him of the manslaughter charges he faces in the Los Angeles Court next week by proving, according to Murray and his lawyers, that Michael Jackson knew how to hook himself up to an intravenous drip. Murray thought Elizabeth Taylor would help show that Michael Jackson self-injected the overdose of the powerful anesthetic propofol the morning of June 25, 2009, version that has been widely belied by the Los Angeles Coroner.

Michael Jackson had an addiction problem from painkillers due to the Pepsi incident in 1984 but went to rehab in 1993 just on advice of Elizabeth and since then he no longer had problems, as confirmed by the coroner who indeed certified in the autopsy report that there isn't any trace of drugs abuse.

Murray was hired to be Michael Jackson's physician for the This Is It Tour for the amount of $150,000 per month.

After being disappeared from June 25 to 27, 2009 and being questioned by cops, he has been charged with involuntary manslaughter and serious negligence as he administered the powerful anesthetic propofol out from the hospital and without properly monitor his patient. No medical equipment was present in the room, except for oxygen cylinders, which were inadequate since were necessary at least a monitor for breathing control and an anesthesiologist.

Murray claimed that he gave Michael just 25mg of propofol although the quantity found in his body was significantly superior, according to the tests conducted by the coroner. Infact, the coroner ruled the death as homicide and determinated that the death was caused by an overdose of propofol with the interaction of the benzodiazepines at wich are added other drugs.

In addition, the Los Angeles Coroner stated that it is impossible wake up once you are under propofol effect and that was impossible for Michael Jackson self-inject propofol as the medicine needs to be administered by another. Also, it is impossible too the other hypotesis made by Murray's lawyers according to which Michael Jackson would have drank propofol.

Jury selection is set to be continued Thurdsday and will end Friday, September 23 with the in-person questioning of potential jurors by lawyers from both sides to establish which jurors have prejudices on the case.

Opening statements are scheduled on Tuesday, September 27.

The trial is expected to last about one month as the judge told the jury pool he expects their service will be over on or about October 28.
