Jackson Trial Continues Day 5

Dr. Richelle Cooper was the doctor who pronounced Michael Jackson dead at UCLA Medical Center on June 25, 2009. She took the stand and added that she felt comfortable pronouncing him dead earlier when she was on radio communication, but Murray claimed her felt a pulse.

Murray, Jackson’s personal doctor at the time, is on trial for involuntary manslaughter in connection with Jackson’s death. Prosecutors allege that he gave Jackson a fatal dose of the sedative propofol and that he failed to seek help quickly enough when Jackson became non-responsive.

Like the paramedics who testified last week, Cooper said Murray never mentioned to her that he gave Jackson propofol. On cross examination, however, she said that information would not have altered her treatment of Jackson or the result.
