"Walgren said that based on phone records, at least nine minutes and as many 21 minutes elapsed between the time Murray realized something was wrong and he asked someone to call 911."

Maybe im confusing everything because there are too much information for me to recall what has been said before.. BUT wasnt the original story that it took Murray 90 minutes to call 911 from the time he found Michael not breathing? Now the prosecutor says it took him between 9-20 minutes?
 
I just hope that the prosectors are really doing thsi for justice cuz ever since 2003 i will never trust prosecutors again
 
Okay from my point of view in the courthouse:

I didn't know that nobody was allowed upstairs besides Michael, the children and Murray... Mohammed was allowed up this time, saw Michael on the bed and he said he knew he was DEAD right there he had his eyes open he was totally gone, Murray very panicedly said did he know CPR... While they were saying this they showed pictures of the room Michael died in, I didn't see them but a lot of the fans who could were crying... Mohammed then realised that Prince was in the door way and he couldn't move, Paris was on the landing outside crying and so he took them down to the nanny, and the nanny put them in the car to follow the ambulance.

We all thanked Mohammed so many times when he came out of the courthouse for being so kind to Michael and the children...

The judge said he wanted to continue but he has a tight schedule so it starts all over again tomorrow morning at 9:30am... And could last for up to two weeks. :(

thank u so much for updating us ,we appreciate it ,i know it must be hard for u too :hug:

the following is the timeline presented by walgren

- 11:51am call- lasted 11 mins..witness heard noises at other end of phone. Likely Conrad Murray who realized MJ was not breathing.
- 12:12pm Call by Murray to Michael Amir Williams, security, saying he needs help..left a message.
- 12:15pm Williams returns call and Murray says MJ had a bad reaction. Williams calls another member of security who is not at house.
- 12:17pm Williams then calls Alberto Alvarez who is in second trailer outside house, checks permission to go in house, goes upstairs to MJ’s bedroom.
- He Sees MJ on bed, Murray doing one handed CPR on the soft bed.
- Murray reports MJ had a bad reaction and asks Alvarez to collect medical evidence.
- Prosecution says Murray has still not called 911 at this point.
- 12:21pm Alvarez told to get a bag and Murray collects medical bottles, and IV bag etc., as told and only then is he told to call 911.


so 11:51 phonecall lasting 11 minutes ends abruptly when Murray discovers MJ unresponsive at 12:02 . The call to 911 is after 12:21 which is the 20 minutes.

12:12 is the time Murray called Michael Amir Williams , they think he could have called 911 at that time instead. That's the 9 minutes they are mentioning.

they are just basing it on the time of phonecalls
 
I just read the updates thread because I had to go to work for a bit. It makes me sick what I have read today. Murray actually asked the bodyguards if they knew CPR? Poor Prince and Paris to have see what they did. This man was totally negligent towards Michael. I don't think he knew what he was doing. I am wondering did Michael suffer when this man left him alone? I don't see how anyone whether you like Michael or not can say this doctor gave him proper care. He didn't and it cost Michael his life.
 
Ivy has done a wonderful job in that facts update thread...Thank you Ivy...:)

when you read that thread..it is all so overwhelming...Murray just didn't care about Michael's life. That is sad..such a wonderful human being Michael was..his life was just thrown away by Murray like it ment nothing...:cry:

Yes, she has. And yes, it makes me sick to my stomach what Murray did and did not do (according to testimony).
 
It's really make me sick. How could a heart sugeon even don't know CPR? How could Murray leave Michael alone for almost 20 minutes before he called 911? Too ridiculous and surreal.

It makes me sick too :(
 
ok , on the situation room , CNN that stupid to say the least reporter started her report by saying MJ was dead for an HOUR when Murray found him ( the DA did not even say that) , she said the amounts of propofol found in MJ was HUNDREDS OF TIMES the amounts Murray admitted to, she said something wrong must have happened to the IV drip and an IV bag full of propofol ended up in MJ's system she said there was enough amount of propofol in his system that you could have opened his body and used the propofol found to operate a surgery on him. HER WORDS NOT MINE , yes she said that.lol
Ofcourse she did not forget to report that Murray gave it to MJ for six days a week for two months.


Ok, it's really disturbing to think they could not have found a better reporter to attend the hearing.

:bugeyed WTF!?

The more that we learn about this, the more I realize this is something that should not have happened. I just don't understand why a trained physician, would just let someone suffer that way, for the sake of covering for themselves. Shame, how this all could have been avoided. :no:
 
Might be, but would you rather see him tried and acquitted of m2, than convicted of IM?

I've known of cases in the past where the charge was murder but the jury was given the option of convicting on a lesser charge of manslaughter. I wonder why they didn't do so in this case? Do they think they don't have enough evidence or is there some other reason? Is it that the judge and not the prosection determines lesser charges? I remember during Michael's trial the judge added the lesser charges.

Now these 20 minutes have to match with the body temperature which is an indicator of time of death. Time of death is a very important question.

yup..I heard this too...and it made me sick....it actually brought me to tears..

Don't hold your breath over it, Murray's ass is nailed on this particular issue. The blood concentration of propofol would have been enough to determine that he died immeditely after injection along with the wide open mouth and eyes. Try to refute something else. This point is scientifically off limit to Murray's defence.
 
"Frank blurted out and said "Your daddy had a heart attack and died," Jackson personal assistant Michael Williams testified.

Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor will decide whether there is "probable cause" to try Murray on an involuntary manslaughter in the pop star's death. The hearing is expected to last two or three weeks, with 20 to 30 witnesses testifying.

WTH! :bugeyed

Why in God's name could'nt Frank have allowed a member of the family to speak to the kids! I find that to be so out of line!
 
I hate to ask this but why would Michael's eyes and mouth be open like that? Wasn't the propofol suppose to put him sleep? I am trying to understand how these work. I am scared to think Michael suffered in anyway.
 
WTH! :bugeyed

I know this killed me..but ya know what...I am not surprised at that...he strikes me as the type that would do something like that...those poor kids...
 
WTH! :bugeyed

Family could have been in a place, mood that they couldn't face the kids and say the words out loud. It's not everyone's cup of tea to break such news.

The last thing I care is Dr. Murray. He will be serving in jail at least for 4 years but it is not enough for me. I want real justice, not fake.This is why every detail is important. If Michael died a few hours before he was deliverd to UCLA, it makes a huge difference and a lot of room for any kind of theories.

I understand that, but at the same time there were people around Michael who always seemed to overstep their bounds and reading that comment about Frank made me think he was doing exactly that. His persona comes off that way to me.

I could be wrong, but thats just how it seems to me.

This question I was asking since July 2009. I never got an answer and this is another detail which bothers me just the same as time of death.

I know people are sworn to tell the truth in court...but I knew I had heard someone else say that Frank told the kids also..so I went to my youtube favorites and I found what I thought it was and yes...Randy Phillips gave an interview...and he was asked who told the children and Randy said..Dr Murray and Frank Delio told the children...so this is true...not that you were questioning it..but ..I was..because like I said I was looking for a flaw in the testimony..but I didnt find one in that instance.
 
First, gotta say it was heartbreaking to read about the kids seeing Michael like that. OMGG! :( :( :(

At the same time it raises some questions about when they went upstairs and how did Kai Chase miss this? Did she take her eyes off the kids after the prayer/holding hands thing and they slipped upstairs? Or did all this happen before the prayer circle while she was doing something else? I remember her initially stating that Murray came downstairs frantic and shouted for her to get security and asking for Prince. Is it possible Prince and Paris went upstairs while she went off looking for security? So confusing. It's important becuz she will be one of the key people to speak on MJ's state of health/mind AT HOME. Credibility is so important here.

this is a mess??? also just because he spoke to the family and police doesnt mean anything. from what katherine said, they basiclly made him tell her mj was gone and toya said the she only knew who he was because paris pointed him out. im sure the police HAD to talk to him because he was at the scene of the incident. im sure he didnt go lloking for them. so that last sentence doesnt mean much. you lost one of your patients and all you can think about is food???? i would be 2 sick to eat anything!!! muarry is a trip. he knew he wasnt hungry he just needed an excuse to dip out before they questioned him again

Agree.

It's really irrelevant to do research to figure out the exact time of death based on the body temprature. Even in perfectly normal condictions ( no heater) no coroner would risk his reputation and give an exact minute of death. They always leave an HOUR as margin of error. The prosecutors said Murray realised what happened to MJ while he was talking to his babymama from Houston. Infact they confirmed what we have been speculating about for months, he was injecting MJ with one hand while holding his phone with the other. And there was no IV drip as he claimed .They gave us a timeline of 20 to 9 minutes before the 911 call. If you take everything into consideration MJ died there infront of Murray while he was injecting him within one minute of the injection. So MJ died within 20 to 9 minutes before 911 called.

You know what's crazy about this is that based on the timeline, Murray had to have been injecting Michael while he was on the phone...with one hand. I agree with all who are disgusted at this recklessness. But that's IF we believe he injected MJ and left the room at the timeline closer to noon.

Not sure what's worse...injecting properly an hour ealier and leaving the room for 40+ minutes to gab on the phone while Michael lay dying...

Or injecting with one hand (possibly incorrectly) while gabbing on the phone to his girlfriend and then leaving the room for a few minutes....

Or worse case scenario is he was injecting Michael with one hand while on the phone w/ the girlfriend and NEVER left the room. Like you said, that would mean Michael went into distress right in front of him and the whole story about "leaving the room" has been a lie. But he can't fess up to ever being in the room becuz then that blows his theory of MJ self-injecting or someone else doing it while he was out of the room.

In either scenario, he's either severely reckless/negligent, a liar, or both.

As distressing as all this info is to hear, I'm anxious to know what the experts think about him allegedly administering 25mg of propofol and leaving the room for "two minutes" only to return and find Michael "suddenly" not breathing w/a faint pulse. What conditions would have to be present or absent for this to be remotely true? I do wonder how many will say this is possible or will they call BS with a capital "B"...especially based on other drugs administered.


This!
When talking about MJ, I remember one of the first opinions of Kenny was that MJ was not feeling good. Then it changed to he was just great. All the time during TII movie promotion and after that. And now it happens to be Michael was feeling bad. Well, fans around him saw he was doing bad. And they were called crazy, blind fans, destroying Michael's legacy.

So what can we say now? :mello:

Had it all been that good, Michael wouldn't have had to use this to get some sleep. However, I still say he was playing with fire and it was not a wise / good decition at all. That's clear :(

Few things. First, I can't remember Kenny's initial reaction ever being that MJ was not feeling good. In fact, I believe it's the reverse. He initially said things were fine...which by his testimony today, he still beleives they were. That hasn't changed. However, at some point during the TII press junket he DID mention there WAS a time when he was concerned about things. Today, we learned his concern was about MJ's health on a particular DAY, NOT a stretch of days/weeks which makes a BIG difference, don't you think?

Would it be fair for someone to see you coughing uncontrollably one day and then presume you must be contagious, possibly dying or sick with tuberculosis? Of course not. IF anything, for me- at least-as I can't speak for other fans, he simply clarified his early admission that there WAS a time of concern. However, it was a particular day, the 19th. Now had he said there was a week or many WEEKS where MJ was shivering and appearing lost, then I'd agree with you that his story changed and he misrepresented himself. I don't see any change here. Michael had a bad day, Kenny was concerned. They had a meeting. Days later, Michael was back to himself and no one was concerned anymore.

As for the fans who some called delusional, well.. let's be honest here. "Some" of those fans who were saying MJ was out of it, had unfairly drawn their own conclusions about his health, even suggesting that MJ was engaged in activity that is not allowed to be mentioned here so I won't go there. "Some" of them even stated, "Oh yeah, sometimes we would see him and talk to him and he'd be out of it and it was kinda funny cuz we would repeat the same things over to him and minutes later he wouldn't remember." It was soooo cool that he wasn't ashamed to be "out of it" in front of them. (Yes, I saw a copy of a certain facebook page that has currently gone missing). My guess is they relayed that info to MJ's family as well who bought it hook, line and sinker. NOW, we know it was unusual medical practices Murray was administering to Michael that could have put him in the state he was in. Btw.. "some" of those fans have abandoned their theory of the thing that shall not be mentioned on this board...since the autopsy report was released. Ask some of them.

And the generalizations "some" of us balk at is present in your post with the last line.

See, when you say "had it been all good he wouldn't have to use this to get sleep", you are taking Michael's sleeping issue/insomnia and putting it into a context that MAY not apply? You are assuming that when things are all good, Michael couldn't possibly STILL have sleep issues. How can you conclude that when almost everyone who seems to know him will tell you that Michael had sleep issues for YEARS, tour or no tour. Working or not working. The Cascio's Mom says he slept fine at her house, yet the brothers admitted he DID have an issue with sleeping over the years.

So when you generalize his inability to sleep to conclude something bad or wrong MUST have been going on, it's not exactly accurate. Why Michael's own family won't admit to his sleeping probs, I can't fathom. Seems everyone, including Lisa Marie, has admitted this except them. Hmm....

Yes, he should have gotten some type of assistance for the sleep issues during his life time and for all we know, he may have tried many professional methods that just did not work.

I hope you are not offended by what I'm saying. Not having a go or personally attacking you in any way...I'm just trying to help you understand why some of us get annoyed when people/fans/family take something that was practically a constant with MJ (by most accounts) and turn it into a situation which insinuates something had to be "bad". I understand it's easy to draw that conclusion as most ppl can't sleep when things are bad. However, sometimes ppl can't sleep when things are very good and they are excited about something, too.

Hope I explained that right. It's late. Long exhausting day. My apologies.


I think we really need to stop jumping the un here. Kenny was speaking about one day in particular, not the whole time he was rehearsing. Also we have to wait for things to be made clearer with regards to the propofol use. And, used properly, propofol is very safe. So the question has to be what did MJ know. And how safe was he made to feel.

Jumping to conclusions simply based on emotions will not help anything. As difficult as it may be, we NEED to be patient.

And please do not double post.

Thank you.

I spoke on this earlier but the thread moves quickly.

I think when Murray noticed he wasn't breathing, he probably held one or both of his eyes open to check his pupils (to see whether or not they were dilated). His mouth would be have to be open for CPR.

In the autopsy report they refer to several perimortem abraisons on MJ's butt caused by wooden beeds found on his bed.
Perimortem injuries are injuries that happens at or about the time of death. That means they were created immediately before or at the time of death. So either we believe MJ moved , or was moved by Murray while he was dying.

add those perimortem abraisons to the wide opened eyes and blood propofol concentrations. These are undisputed medical facts MJ died before the paramedics arrived. It's no longer he said/ she said .

I see. It's hard to picture Michael like that and different things run through my mind about it.
 
to answer the above question about Michaels eyes and mouth being open..... He was in distress. His eyes were open and mouth because he was gasping for air that he didnt get. His eyes were im sorry to say probably open in terror because no one was there to see him in distress.

Sorry.
