The Trial Returns

Dr. Allan Metzger who also treated Michael Jackson, took the stand. He stated that Jackson asked for “intravenous sleep medicine” for his inability to sleep.

Jackson told him he needed an anesthetic delivered by IV because “he did not believe any oral medicine would be helpful,” Metzger said. Metzger said that despite Jackson’s request, he only gave him a prescription for two oral sedatives to help him sleep, reported CNN.

Deputy District Attorney David Walgren used the defense witness to show that giving Jackson propofol was unreasonable.

“Is there any amount of money that would have convinced you to give him intervenous propofol in his house?” Walgren asked Metzger. Metzger responded “absolutely not”.

A nurse also took the stand and stated that no natural remedies worked to put Jackson to sleep.
