I know that... I was just trying to establish whether the fact that he was coughing (assuming it was him) means he couldn't possibly have injected himself therefore, completely blowing Murray's defence out of the window.
Yes, well not prove in the legal sense, but IMO, that and other things at least show that it is a far fetched theory : :
Sade said that she heard a phone go off, coughing and mumbling, a commotion. She did not recognize the voice.
She did not hear well, so we can not know for sure who it was.
Murray either left the phone where he was when the other phone went off, put it in a pocket... we don't know.
It shows one thing :
he was not far from the source of the noises.
Now
if the coughing and mumbling came from Michael, then it shows he was awake, or waking up at that time. I asked the question here , and other posters answered that he could not have coughed while under propofol. Technically the coughing and mumbling could come from anyone (Murray, MJ, someone else).
Why would Murray cough , or a 3rd person trying to inject MJ ? Wouldn't that 3rd person try NOT to cough at this particular time ?
Pure speculation on my part, I think the coughing came from MJ, he was waking up. So he was alive, if he self injected, it was after that.
Now we have the beads, and perimortal abrasions on the lower part of MJ's back. Perimortem means that it happened at or around the time of death (not before, not after). So MJ moved or was moved at around the moment he died : he was not lying on his beads before. It could also be for a number of reasons, one of them being that someone was with him, and moved him.
Other posters established that MJ died not long after the last injection, a question of minutes.
Now think of how things were in the room, given where the IV was, MJ must have been in a clearly strange position to self inject and fall
backwards on the beads : he would have had to lean forward to reach the syringe.
I'd rather have a better scientific way to prove that self injection is impossible, but, IMO, the reasons above show that is really unlikely, not realistic at all.
Someone was definetly with him when it happened. I'm not sure Chernoff and co will go on with the self injection theory (he never really said it, did he ? he hinted at it, saying Murray did not do it). I think he will try to incriminate other staff members.
