The Jackson Trial Continues (Day 8)
Dr. Conrad Murray’s lawyer stated that a coroner’s investigator made “substantial mistakes” when she investigated Jackson’s bedroom and that she has made significant changes in her testimony since the preliminary hearing last January, stated CNN.
County Coroner’s toxicologist Dan Anderson, who studied the drugs in Jackson’s body, began his testimony Thursday morning as the prosecution introduces scientific evidence that is key to their effort to prove that Murray is criminally responsible for his death.
Murray’s fingerprint was found on that 100-milliliter propofol bottle that prosecutors contend led to Jackson’s death, according to a fingerprint analysis accepted by both the prosecution and defense Thursday.
Murray’s defense lawyers say Jackson caused his own death by swallowing eight lorazepam pills and orally ingesting propofol while Murray was out of the room.
