Dr. Murray Ordered a Boatload of Propofol

A pharmacist Dr. Murray used to order Propofol just testified the doctor order box after box of the drug in the two months before Michael Jackson's death.

Tim Lopez, a pharmacist at Applied Pharmacy Services in Las Vegas, said beginning on April 6, 2009, Dr. Murray began ordering large quantities of Propofol. On that date, he ordered 10 single dose vials.

Murray, who had the drugs sent to his girlfriend's Santa Monica home where he was living, also ordered boxes of the drug on April 28 -- 4 boxes and each of the boxes had 10 100ml vials.

Later that month, Murray ordered 20 vials of midazolan and 20 vials of lorazepam.

On May 12, Murray ordered 4 boxes of Propofol, along with 2 trays of midazolan.

On June 10, Murray ordered 4 boxes of Propofol, and 2 20ml Propofol.

The first witness of the day is Stephen Marx--a former computer forensics examiner in the DEA lab in Virginia. Marx examined Dr. Murray's iPhone.

Marx says Murray received an e-mail on June 25, 2009 at 5:54 am (L.A. time) from what appears to be an insurance broker in London.

Marx testifies the e-mail's sender was inquiring about Jackson's health.

The e-mail is confirming Murray was the only doctor Jackson consulted during a 3-year period & asks about press reports re: Jackson’s health

Murray responds: 'as far as the statements of his health published by the press...they’re all felicitous, to the best of my knowledge.'

A pharmacist testified Monday that the doctor charged in Michael Jackson's death bought 255 vials of a powerful anesthetic in the three months before the singer died from a lethal combination of the drug and other sedatives.

Dr. Conrad Murray purchased four shipments of the anesthetic propofol between April 6 and June 10, 2009, said Tim Lopez, owner of Applied Pharmacy Services in Las Vegas, where Murray has a clinic.

Murray bought 130 vials of propofol in 100 milliliter doses and another 125 vials in the smaller dose of 20 milliliters, Lopez said while testifying at a preliminary hearing to determine if there is enough evidence for Murray to stand trial after pleading not guilty to involuntary manslaughter.

A coroner's investigator previously testified that 12 vials of propofol were found in the bedroom and closet of the singer's rented mansion after his death.

Lopez said Murray asked him to ship some of the propofol to an address in Santa Monica, Calif. The address belongs to the doctor's girlfriend, although Lopez testified that Murray told him it was one of his clinics.

Murray also bought other sedatives from Lopez, according to the testimony.

Murray has told police he was concerned Jackson was addicted to propofol, and that he was trying to wean the singer from it.

In other testimony Monday, a retired federal investigator said he had retrieved an e-mail from Murray's cell phone containing an exchange between the doctor and a London insurance broker handling a policy for Jackson's planned series of comeback concerts.

The broker asked Murray on the morning of Jackson's death to address press reports that Jackson was in poor health.

"As far as the statements of his health published by the press, let me say they're all malicious to the best of my knowledge," Murray replied.

Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor ruled before the hearing began Monday that the information could be introduced as evidence.

Murray's defense attorney, Ed Chernoff, had described some of the data as brief voicemails. He also said there were 12 screenshots found on the phone.

Pastor said some of the information was protected by attorney-client privilege, but most is not.

Prosecutors have used Murray's phone records to help create a detailed timeline of the doctor's actions on the day Jackson died.

Pharmacist sent large amounts of anesthetic to Dr. Conrad Murray

The owner of a Las Vegas specialty pharmacy testified Monday that he sent large quantities of propofol to Dr. Conrad Murray in the three months before Michael Jackson died from an overdose of the surgical anesthetic.

Pharmacist Tim Lopez said Murray never mentioned the pop star was his only patient at the time and instead led him to believe the 255 vials of propofol he requested were being used for patients at a Los Angeles clinic.

In reality, the four shipments Murray placed, including a final order 10 days before Jackson stopped breathing, went to the Santa Monica apartment where Murray’s mistress and infant son lived.

Lopez said that when he volunteered to personally deliver an order during a trip to Los Angeles, Murray told him not to.

“He said just Fed Ex it the way we normally do,” Lopez recalled.

Lopez took the stand at a preliminary hearing to determine whether prosecutors have enough evidence to try Murray for involuntary manslaughter. The 57-year-old doctor has pleaded not guilty. He has acknowledged using the drug as a sleep aid for his famous patient, a chronic insomniac.

Defense lawyers have suggested in court that the amount of propofol Murray gave Jackson was not enough to cause the singer's June 25, 2009, death. Under questioning by a prosecutor, the pharmacist said Murray asked several times for advice on what the doctor might take to boost his energy and “wakefulness.”
Jackson usually had Murray work an overnight shift at his rented Holmby Hills mansion, according to other witnesses. Lopez said he created a capsule of three over-the-counter products -- caffeine, ephedrine and aspirin -- for the doctor, who later said it had helped his problem.

Judge Michael Pastor also reviewed data gleaned from Murray’s iPhone. Screen shots of the doctor’s e-mail inbox show he and others involved with Jackson’s planned comeback concert series were discussing the singer’s health in the hours before he died.

In one e-mail displayed in court, a London insurance broker trying to secure a policy in case of cancellation asked Murray to prove details about the singer’s care and to respond to media allegations that Jackson suffered from lupus, cancer and other ailments.

The doctor e-mailed back that he did not have authorization to share the information, but wrote, “As far as the statements of his health published by the press, let me say they are all fallacious to the best of my knowledge.”

The next witness is Tim Lopez. He is a pharmacist and runs his own business, Applied Pharmacy Services, in Las Vegas.

Lopez says in Nov. '08, Murray called him to get a cream to treat vitiligo. However, the cream wasn't available to Lopez.

Lopez lost contact with Murray & heard from him again in March '09. In April '09, Lopez says Murray ordered packages of the vitiligo cream.

In the same month Murray contacted Lopez to let him know he was happy with the cream. Murray then inquired about Propofol & saline bags.

April 6: Murray placed an order for 1 carton of 100 milliliter vials and 1 carton of 20 milliliter vials of Propofol & 9 saline bags.

He also duplicated his order of Benoquin, the cream used to treat vitiligo and asked that his order be shipped to his office in Vegas.

Murray then changed his mind on the shipping location and asked that the shipment be sent to the address of Nicole Alvarez.

Lopez testifies between the months of April & June, Murray called his pharmacy at least 7 times to place specific orders on different drugs.

Some ordered drugs were lorazepam, midazolam, propofol & flumazenil. Murray requested that each order be sent to the Santa Monica address.

Lopez is shown a series of sales invoices/shipping documents pertaining to Murray's orders.

Some of the receipts misspell the recipient's name as 'Nicole Alvarie' rather than Alvarez. The last is dated June 15, 2009.

Did Michael Jackson Drink Propofol???

Michael Jackson may have drank himself to death by consuming a juice box laced with Propofol -- at least that's what Conrad Murray's defense team suggested in court today.

Murray's attorney, J. Michael Flanagan, was questioning a Senior Criminalist from the L.A. County Coroner's Office about the 70 grams of fluid found in MJ's stomach at the time of the autopsy ... fluid that tested positive for traces of Propofol.

Flanagan noted the presence of a juice box on MJ's nightstand ... and asked if it had been tested for Propofol ... raising the possibility that MJ was sippin' on the anesthetic shortly before he died.

The criminalist testified he had not tested the juice box.

So what's Flanagan's point? He might be suggesting that MJ was secretly self-administering his Propofol ... which would support Murray's defense theory that MJ accidentally caused his own overdose.

Murray to Cops: Michael Begged Me For Propofol

In some of the most dramatic testimony to date, an LAPD detective testified Dr. Conrad Murray told him Michael Jackson "begged" him for Propofol shortly before he died.

LAPD Robbery Homicide Detective Orlando Martinez testified about an interview he conducted with Dr. Murray two days after MJ died. Martinez said Murray told him the night before Jackson died he was having trouble sleeping. Murray said he was trying to ween Jackson off of Propofol -- a drug he was giving MJ almost every night for two months.

Murray told Martinez he was giving Jackson a variety of other drugs, beginning sometime after 1AM, to no avail. Jackson then said if he didn't get to sleep he would cancel rehearsal.

Murray said he was feeling "pressure" from MJ to give him something to help him sleep, and Jackson was begging for Propofol. Murray claims he gave him a reduced dose, with Michael's help. As TMZ has reported many times before, Murray said MJ like to "push in the Propofol himself and that other doctors let him do it."

Murray went to the bathroom for 2 minutes, came back and claims he saw MJ wasn't breathing.

CNN In Session

The 20th witness is Orlando Martinez of the L.A.P.D. Martinez was one of the lead investigators of this case.

Martinez testifies that he began trying to contact Murray on 6/25, but was unable to. Martinez was contacted by Murray's attorney on 6/26.

Martinez and Murray's attorney, Michael Pena, made arraignments for Murray to meet Martinez on 6/27 at a hotel in Marina Del Rey.

During their meeting Murray told Martinez that for a little over 2 months he had treated Jackson and assisted him with sleeping nightly.

Murray said he would inject Jackson with 50 milligrams of Propofol...and then a drip infusion to keep him under .

Martinez testifies that Murray told him that 50 milligrams was the most he would give Jackson.

Martinez says Dr. Murray expressed a concern about Jackson developing a dependency on Propofol.

Murray felt MJ developed a dependency on Propofol, so with MJ's permission he decided to wean him off Propofol and use some other agents.

Martinez: Murray said he lowered the amount of propofol that he usually gave MJ, and he introduced midazolam & lorazepam, to help MJ sleep.

Martinez says that Murray told him he began prescribing Jackson with medication at around 2 a.m. on June 25th to help MJ sleep.

Over the next few hours, Murray injected Jackson with alternating doeses of midazolam and lorazepam, to help Jackson sleep.

Martinez testifies that according to Murray, none of the doses put Jackson to sleep for a prolonged period of time.

Martinez: At 10:00 am MJ was still awake, still complaining to him that he needs to sleep. MJ simply asked for ‘milk,’ meaning Propofol.

Martinez: Around 10:40 or 10:50, Murray administered Propofol to MJ.

Martinez: Dr. Murray said he gave him half his normal dose, 25 milligrams over the course of 25 minutes .

Martinez: Murray says MJ fell asleep around 11:00 am. Murray monitored him for a while until he felt comfortable with MJ’s condition.

Martinez: After monitoring Jackson, Murray says he left to go relieve himself in the restroom.

Martinez testifies Murray told him, during questioning, he was gone for about 2 min & when he returned to the room, MJ was not breathing.

Murray told Martinez that when he got to the room, shortly after 11 a.m., he started doing CPR on Jackson.

When Martinez asked Murray why he did not move MJ to the floor, Murray said he, 'could not move Mr. Jackson to the floor by himself.'

When Martinez asked Murray why he did not call 911, Murray said he was 'caring for his patient, and he did not want to neglect him.'

Martinez: Murray never mentioned making phone calls, sending emails or sending or receiving text messages while he was caring for Jackson

On cross, Martinez concedes that his interview with Dr. Murray was actually “pretty long”. Possibly over two hours and 47 minutes.

Martinez says Murray didn't refuse to answer any questions and he didn't try to stop the interview at any time to speak to his attorneys.

Martinez says that he – not Murray – is the one who chose to end the interview.

Martinez: According to Murray, Jackson referred to propofol as “milk,” and called lidocaine his “anti-burn.”

Martinez: Dr. Murray told him Jackson “liked to push it in himself” while getting injections, and “that other doctors let him do that.”

Murray told Det. Martinez that he wouldn’t let Michael Jackson do that.

Michael Jackson begged for propofol, detective says in recapping Conrad Murray's statement

The doctor said he had weaned Jackson off the drug but felt 'pressured' to administer it again.

Dr. Conrad Murray told detectives that Michael Jackson begged him for propofol on the day he died, saying his long-awaited comeback would never happen if the physician didn't put him to sleep with the drug he called "milk," according to court testimony Monday.

A homicide investigator said Murray described himself as "pressured" into administering the surgical anesthetic despite concerns that the 50-year-old music legend had become addicted as he prepared for a series of concerts in London.

"Mr. Jackson began to complain to him that he couldn't sleep and that he would have to cancel his rehearsals and cancel his shows," Los Angeles police detective Orlando Martinez said in Los Angeles County Superior Court.

Prosecutors summoned Martinez to the witness stand as they headed into the home stretch of a hearing to determine whether they have enough evidence to try Murray, 57, for involuntary manslaughter in the pop star's June 25, 2009, death from an overdose of propofol. The prosecution is expected to wrap up its presentation later this week.

Murray has pleaded not guilty.

The broad strokes of Murray's account to police — including his claim that he was in the restroom when Jackson stopped breathing — have already been made public, but the detective's testimony added additional details, such as the doctor's explanation for not calling for an ambulance immediately.

"He said he was caring for his patient and did not want to neglect him," Martinez said.

"Did he indicate that calling for a 911 operator would be neglecting him?" asked Deputy Dist. Atty. David Walgren.

"Yes," the detective said.

Murray, a cardiologist, has been criticized for trying to perform CPR while Jackson was in the bed; Martinez said that when he asked the doctor about it, Murray claimed he wasn't able to move Jackson to the floor.

The testimony drew snorts from a contingent of Jackson fans in the spectator's gallery. Martinez noted that the strapping physician, who stands 6 feet, 5 inches, outweighed the emaciated singer by 90 pounds.

Murray walked away from the hospital where Jackson was pronounced dead before homicide detectives had a chance to interview him, but two days later, he and two lawyers met with investigators in a Marina del Rey hotel.

Murray told them that he had been giving Jackson propofol to sleep for two months but had weaned him off it two days before his death, with the singer's permission. He said that on the day Jackson died, he tried to get him to sleep with a series of other sedatives and by encouraging his patient to try "meditating" but that ultimately Jackson insisted on propofol.

The doctor gave a timeline that appears an hour off from the chronology prosecutors have established with phone records and other witness accounts, according to Martinez's testimony.

The detectives said Murray recalled sitting with Jackson until about 11 a.m., then leaving for two minutes to use the restroom. He said that when he returned he was "stunned" to find that Jackson was not breathing. Other witness testimony and cellphone records indicate that Murray made his discovery at noon.

Under cross-examination, the detective acknowledged that the physician told him Jackson had concealed his long history of using propofol with other doctors when he hired Murray.

"Dr. Murray said to you that he didn't sign up for this, that he found out about Michael Jackson's desire for propofol after the fact?" asked defense lawyer Ed Chernoff.

"Correct," Martinez replied.

Judge Michael Pastor also heard testimony from the owner of a Las Vegas pharmacy that filled Murray's phone orders for propofol. Pharmacist Tim Lopez said Murray never mentioned that the pop star was his only patient at the time and instead led him to believe the 255 vials of propofol he requested were being used for patients at a Los Angeles clinic.

In reality, the four shipments Murray placed, including a final order 10 days before Jackson's death, went to the Santa Monica apartment where Murray's mistress and infant son lived. Lopez said that when he volunteered to personally deliver an order during a trip to Los Angeles, Murray told him not to.

"He said just FedEx it the way we normally do," Lopez recalled.

If convicted, Murray faces up to four years in prison.

Detective recounts events before Jackson death

Michael Jackson, desperate for sleep, warned a doctor on the day he died that he would have to cancel his comeback concerts unless he received a dose of "his milk" — the powerful anesthetic propofol, according to testimony from the lead detective in the case against Jackson's doctor.

As a result, Dr. Conrad Murray yielded and gave the singer a dose of propofol after a night of administering lesser drugs, detective Orlando Martinez said.

Prosecutors said the combination of drugs was lethal and filed an involuntary manslaughter charge against Murray, who has pleaded not guilty.

Martinez, who interviewed Murray two days after Jackson's death, gave a chilling step-by-step account at Murray's preliminary hearing, saying the pop star lay dying while Murray administered CPR but didn't call 911.

Martinez, who spent nearly three hours interviewing Murray in the presence of his lawyers, said Murray told him he had been giving Jackson doses of propofol six nights a week for two months but was trying to wean him from the drug after becoming afraid his patient was becoming addicted.

The detective said Jackson came home from rehearsal abut 1 a.m. on June 25, 2009, showered and got into bed. Murray said he immediately connected an intravenous tube to the singer's leg and began giving him sedatives, according to Martinez.

The doctor said that began a night of continuous efforts to get the star to sleep. He told police he gave him the sedatives lorazepam and midazolam intravenously and supplied a valium pill, but nothing seemed to work.

At 3:30 a.m. he said, Jackson fell asleep for about 10 minutes but then was awake again and complaining that if he didn't get sleep he would have to cancel his much-anticipated "This is It" tour, the detective said.

Murray spoke of feeling pressure to get Jackson to sleep and sometime between 10:40 a.m. and 10:50 a.m. gave him half his usual 50 milligram dose of propofol, Martinez said.
"It was an injection to get him to sleep and a slow drip to keep him sleeping," the detective said.

He said Jackson fell asleep about 11 a.m. and Murray felt comfortable enough to leave the room and go to the bathroom. He told the detective he was out of the room for two minutes and "was stunned to see Mr. Jackson not breathing" when he returned.

Murray told police he started CPR through chest compressions then gave mouth-to-mouth resuscitation but did not consider calling 911.

"He said he was caring for his patient and did not want to neglect him," Martinez said.
He said Murray also was asked why he was giving Jackson CPR on a soft bed rather than moving Jackson to the floor.

"Dr. Murray said he could not move him to the floor by himself," the witness said.
Deputy District Attorney David Walgren pointed out that Murray is 6 feet 5 inches and weighs about 225 pounds. The frail Jackson weighed about 136 pounds when he died.

Phone records show 911 was not called until 12:21 p.m., and prosecutors contend the singer was dead before help arrived.

Murray's attorney Ed Chernoff asked Martinez if Murray had spoken of Jackson asking to self-administer propofol. He answered yes.

"Mr. Jackson knew all about propofol before Dr. Murray came on the scene?" asked Chernoff.

"Yes," said Martinez.

The detective was asked if Jackson had sought to "push the propofol" himself and he said that was correct.

"Michael Jackson told Dr. Murray he liked to push it in himself and other doctors let him do that?" Chernoff asked.

"Yes," sad the witness.

"And Dr. Murray said he wouldn't let him do that?" Chernoff asked.

"Correct," answered the witness.

Defense lawyers have presented little evidence during the hearing to decide if Murray should stand trial. Prosecutors have said they believe the defense will contend Jackson administered more propofol himself on the fateful day, leading to his death.

Earlier testimony by a pharmacist showed Murray purchased 255 vials of propofol during the three months before the singer died.

Murray bought 130 vials of propofol in 100-milliliter doses and another 125 vials in the smaller dose of 20 milliliters, said Tim Lopez, owner of Applied Pharmacy Services in Las Vegas, where Murray has a clinic.

The four shipments of propofol were purchased between April 6 and June 10, 2009, with most of the drugs shipped to the Santa Monica home of Murray's girlfriend, testimony showed.

Murray also purchased sedatives known as benzodiazpines, Lopez testified.

Using phone records and testimony from police and Murray's current and former girlfriends, prosecutors tried to show Murray was on the phone throughout the morning of Jackson's death, even after administering propofol to the singer.

They hope to convince a judge of several key points: that Murray was distracted when he should have been monitoring Jackson, that he delayed calling 911, that he botched CPR efforts and that the singer was dead before help was summoned.

Murray could face up to four years in prison if tried and convicted.

- Murray then changed his mind on the shipping location and asked that the shipment be sent to the address of Nicole Alvarez. Lopez said Murray never mentioned MJ was his only patient at the time and instead led him to believe all the vials of propofol he requested were being used for patients at a Los Angeles clinic.

- Lopez testifies between the months of April & June, Murray called his pharmacy at least 7 times to place specific orders on different drugs. Some ordered drugs were lorazepam, midazolam, propofol & flumazenil. Murray requested that each order be sent to the Santa Monica address.

- Lopez said that when he volunteered to personally deliver an order during a trip to Los Angeles, Murray told him not to. “He said just Fed Ex it the way we normally do,” Lopez recalled.

- Under questioning by a prosecutor, the pharmacist said Murray asked several times for advice on what the doctor might take to boost his energy and “wakefulness.” He wants it to be non-narcotic and as natural as possible. He wants something over the counter (not prescription). Pharmacy makes the energy formulation by putting 3 products available over the counter putting them in 1 capsule. They added caffeine, asprin and ephedrine and made 30 capsules with that formulation.*

- Murray says his patient were complaining of injection pain and asked if the pharmacy could make a topical analgesic. He indicated he wanted a lidocaine only.
