and literally abandoned michael jackson. >> conrad murderer! >> yeah though i walk through the value of the shadow of death. i will fear no evil. >> justice for michael! justice for michael! >> dr. murray is not a perfect man. he is an imperfect man. if the prosecution will tell you he is greedy and callus and reckless, you need to hear the full story about it.

>> in the spring of 2009, michael jackson, the so-called king of pop was poised for the biggest come back of the year. he would perform 50 concerts at the 02 arena in difficult financial straights, the concerts would help him get out of debt. >> i will be performing the songs my fans want to hear. >> to get through this gruelling schedule, jackson turned to dr. conrad murray, a las vegas-based doctor he knew. >> this is it. i mean this is really it. this is the final -- this is the final curtain call. >> michael was an incredible human being. the greatest performer of all time.

we were friends. and i could never ever betray his trust in me. >>or november seventh, 2011, a los angeles jury found dr. conrad murray guilty of involuntary manslaughter. for two years, we followed dr. murray as he await and went on trial. this is his story in his own words. >> my story is one of david and goliath. i have seen the whole world coming at me. that's goliath. david was clearly not expected to be victorious, but he had god with him. . >> you cast your faith to the wind and that's there to judge and make a decision.

>> conrad murray as the doctor on scene had a legal duty of care to use his best medical judgment to do no harm to michael jackson. he left this vulnerable man filled with valium and lorazepam and propofol with no medical monitoring equipment and no necessary resuscitative equipment. conrad murray's actions directly caused the death of michael jackson. >> we believe that the evidence will tell you this. that michael jackson wanted to sleep for ten hours. he was frustrate and unable to sleep and his doctor would not give him propofol, the drug he wanted. michael jackson swallowed up to eight lorazepam on his own

without telling the doctor and without permission. when dr. murray left the room, michael jackson self-administered a dose of propofol. it killed him. it killed him like that. and there was no way to save him. >> during his opening statement to the jury, ed chernoff, murray's lead attorney introduced the defense's theory that unbenounced to doctor murray, michael jackson took a lethal combination of drugs that kimmed him. >> i think the whole notion thaw laid out with lorazepam, i think it went -- >> there was a surprise. they didn't know this because of what the media was portraying. >> am i okay to go around, did

you hear what the defense theory is? is that cool to do? >> i told you there was a surprise. go over the opening of our opening statement. you know what killed him now. and it wasn't propofol. >> for months dr. murray's team struggled to get the message across to what they perceived as a hostile media. >> the way the media is running this is if dr. murray came from hell for the purpose of killing michael jackson. >> they want to know what happened to michael jackson. >> dr. murray is perhaps the only person who might know what really happened that fateful day. his relationship with jackson began in 2006 in las vegas when he made a house call to care for

jackson's children. murray was recommended by one of jackson's body guards. >> i took care of him and his three children initially and we developed a relationship as of that time on. i cannot really enjoy his property. paparazzi was here and fans were around and everybody was looking at the property. we escaped many time in this vehicle. he would climb into the back seat and tell security don't follow. they have no authority. my heart pounded a little bit. he liked those risks. i think he kind of cheered it on. >> one thing that murray said that he and jackson had in common was a difficult relationship with their fathers. he said his father didn't publicly acknowledge him until his late 20s. >> in many ways we had mirror imans of our lives.

we didn't have the full appreciation from our fathers. i had a dad that was affectionate, but i could not allow that affection to be known publicly. and of course that was tough to handle. he had a dad that never hugged his own children. i had seen him cry. so many times. i told him it's okay to cry. it's okay. it's okay, michael. you can cry. he lived a life greater than 100 years of pain. any human on earth.

all of his life he was searching for a friend. he had very close acquaintances, but friends, he did not have. he said of all my life, i have found one friend. which is you. dr. conrad. analysis. information. i trade on tradearchitect. this is web-based trading, re-visualized. streaming, real-time quotes. earnings analysis. probability analysis: that's what opportunity looks like. it's all visual. intuitive. and it's available free, wherever the web is. this is how trade strategies are built. tradearchitect. only from td ameritrade.

the los angeles county coroner ruled that michael jackson's death was homicide. the autopsy stated that an overdose of a powerful anesthetic, propofol, killed

him. a drug that murray admitted to giving jackson that morning. >> 119, your honor, containing two propofol bottles. >> justice for michael! >> seven propofol bottles. i'm opening the bag. >> the use of propofol in jackson's home was the most damning evidence, but the defense argued that the 25 milligrams of the drug he said he gave michael was not enough to cause his death. >> we are not communicating well, doctor. i asked you a question. what amounts of propofol do you use? >> in my practice i couldn't imagine i would give a dose of 25 milligrams to an otherwise healthy 60 kilogram male over 3 to five minutes because i would not expect that would produce any level of sedation for me to achieve the procedure i wanted. >> sorry what you are saying that 25 milligrams is a very

small amount of propofol to give a patient? >> 25 milligrams would not be a sufficient dose in most patients. >> she would start off with 60 milligrams. drt starts with 25. he is obviously not overmedicating. >> encouragement. letters. >> the point is to get the information to the jury. he did that perfectly. i got it. they got it. i saw them get it. >> you are a witness this week or next week? >> we will not start until the prosecution finishes. >> justice for michael!

>> i kept going back and forth because i know i was forgetting things because of my head. i couldn't see. >> murray's defense team hasn't been paid for months because dr. murray is financially strapped. so to save money, michael flanagan, the l.a.-based member of his team and his wife, susan, invite ed chernoff, the lead defense attorney to stay at their home outside of l.a. chernoff comes from dr. murray's old town and prides himself on his closeness with client saying that clients consider him a savior and a friend. >> everybody flocks around him. there has to be a hundred cameras. what about michael jackson being so screwed up. you see why he needed dr. murray. that's what happens when he is not around. >> you know what, nothing wrong

with that. in fact i think that's fantastic. you just called him murphy. >> what's his name? >> four months before his death, murray said jackson began pressing him to close his las vegas and houston medical clinics and become his personal full time physician. he wanted murray to keep him in top health for the 50 this is it concerts. >> he said dr. conrad, i have watched you and looked to you for so long. i said what was that about? he said i looked at you because i tested you and you are the one. >> in april of 2009, murray agreed to make michael jackson his only patient.

he shut down his private cardiology practice and moved to los angeles to live with michael in the beverly hills mansion that was being rented for michael by the concert promoter aeg live. >> i had the entire reign of anybody who wanted to be in the house. the only people in the home would be the children, michael and myself. security never permed to come into his house. >> there was a second bed chamber and adjoining bathroom off limits to everyone but michael. >> he always had a chamber that was exclusively his. that chamber was reserved and completely logged out. not even the maids could go in there. the children would go in there once in a while, but they always walked in there together. that was off limits. the bedroom where he slept and i was with him during the night,

that i had to persuade him to have it cleaned. it does not smell good, there was mildew, and i had to get it cleaned. >> dr. murray has never been in the bathroom. that's off limits even for him. nobody has been in the bathroom. it looks like it hasn't been cleaned for months. most of us picture it and the public finally gets to see what that bathroom looks like. what are they going to think? they are going to turn around. >> explain a 50-year-old man who sleeps with a baby doll and has pictures of basically infants to 2 years old children looking at him every night. >> everything about him is sick. it's weird. >> he's as weird as --

>> he's amazing in his field in music. amazing. >> the media made him appear weirder than he is. >> it's not normal. he can't be any weirder than he is. >> murray's relationship with jackson deepen and it was then when dr. murray said michael confided his vision that god asked michael to reach out to the children to save the planet from destruction. >> michael felt that he was ordained. >> murray said michael asked him to be his partner in this great endeavor. >> he said we are selected to do this. it comes from his lips. we are selected to do this. we can do it. we have to do it. we can do it.

>> a more troubling take was played in court. a recording of a conversation michael had with dr. murray. >> we can do it. >> we can do it. [inaudible] >> a religious man, dr. murray had his own revelation less than a month after michael's death. >> it occurred to me commencing with the passing of michael. as of july 15th, 2009, 3:00 a.m., things changed. holy spirit came to me and i can feel the warmth and i can see

his face and i can see his garment as he came down to touch me. he lifted me out of the hole of darkness. he brought me to light. he saved me. he protected me. i am protect and he would put me and keep me safely in the secret chambers of his tabernacle. thank you, father. thank you. thank you. i love you. called atrial fibrillation, or afib, that's not caused by a heart valve problem? are you taking warfarin to reduce your risk of stroke caused by a clot? you should know about pradaxa.

prosecution showed footage from the rehearsals to demonstrate the vigor and healing of michael just prior to his death. what they didn't show was footage of the earlier performances where michael was late or didn't complete his rehearsal. >> the producer, kenny ortega made statements that this could not go on. if michael was not going to do what he was expected to do, they could not have a show. they could not get michael to conform to what they wanted. michael on the other hand was saying they were working him too much. he did not want to be a machine. he felt like a machine. >> kenny ortega, the director of

this is it warned of michael's poor condition in an e-mail five days before michael's death. >> my concern is he appeared weak and fatigued. he had a terrible case of the chills and was trembling, rambling and obsessing. tonight i was feeding him, wrapping him in blankets to warm his chills and i believe he really wants this. it would shatter him, break his heart if we pulled the plug. he is terribly frightened it's all going to go away it. broke my heart. he was like a lost boy. sincerely, kenny. >> with aeg live advancing a great deal of money for the production, they were bank rolling michael's house, staff, and had agreed to pay dr. murray $150,000 a month.

it was no surprise that ortega's e-mail resulted in an emergency meeting at michael's house between randy phillips, ortega, michael and dr. murray. in court, phillips was asked about that meeting. >> kenny opened the meeting up by talking about his concern that michael needed to really focus and to really pay attention to this production that it was massive and they couldn't do it without him. >> what was michael jackson's response? >> michael didn't respond immediately. dr. murray spoke for michael on the situation and michael's focus and michael showing up and guaranteed us that michael would get into it and connect. >> jackson's problems at the rehearsals stemmed in part from a severe sleep disorder he was dealing with for years. according to dr. murray and others who testified at the

trial, jackson treated the problem by having doctors give him propofol. murray himself admits giving jackson propofol soon after he became michael's full time physician. >> he spoke because of this current concert, he needed sleep so he could compose and be ready for performances and this was only because of the this is it concert. >> days before his death, michael stepped up the pressure on murray to help him get the sleep he needed to perform. >> he said i want 15 to 18 hours of sleep. that's what most doctors give me. give me 10 minutes. give me 20 minutes. i said to him why would 10 minutes help you. it doesn't make sense? why would 20 minutes make a difference? it will.

it will. it really helps me. i am composing and i'm at the stage of the production. . >> i have now spiked the bottle of propofol. >> the case is built on the belief that murray should never have given meekle propofol to help him sleep and the drug kauszed his death. >> to be treating him with a potent anesthetic that has no proven role in management of insomnia is really hard to really grasp. it's inconceivable. >> to win the case, the defense needs to undermine the prosecution's expert medical witnesses who are hammering away at the dangers of propofol and the fact it should never be home-administered. because of his strong background

in trying complicated medical cases, michael flanagan will be the defense's attorney in cross examining the medical witnesses. >> now, how much propofol did he give? >> um, he gave 25 milligrams of propofol and started him on a drip. >> it doesn't say he started him on a drip, does it? >> i think it does, yes. >> does it? >> it doesn't? >> no. >> can i look at the report? >> sure. >> i think that doctor is simple. i can cross examine him and he wouldn't stand a chance. i will swipe him like a sword. he is stupid. however, i take offense when my damn attorney is not prepared. >> he never said he gave a drip. >> i disagree. he gave a drip. dr. murray goes the dose and the drip. line 22. he says it, this is about that night.

>> flanagan needs a coffee and a red bull. end of story. this is why i said, i'm available. ask me questions. i am the source. talk to me. spend time with me. get to understand it. i am available. so when you go up there and you are fumbling, it misses me off. that's not what i expect. okay? stop. i am talking. don't interrupt me. >> the dose and the drip is referring to what he handled -- didn't you understand that to be referring to what he handled before? >> no, i don't see it that way. >> here didn't say i didn't gave a drip. he said i gave a dose and drip. can we agree to disagree? >> i probably should have controlled them a little bit better. i think the prosecution rested right now.

i'm veronica dela cruise. security forces rescued wilson ramos two days after he was kidnapped from the off season home there. the heart breaking sex abuse scandal should lead to a national soul searching about protecting our children. state officials put mike mcquery on leave citing the complexity of the scandal. back to the program. . >> michael jackson's performances in the rehearsals had not been going well. after the crisis meeting at michael's house between michael, murray and the producers, the doctor decided to try to wean him off propofol. murray said that two days before

jackson's death, he managed to get jack to sleep without propofol. the impact on jackson's performance was immediate. he could readily be seen at the footage played at the trial during kenny ortega's testimony. >> here entered full of energy and desire to work and full of enthusiasm. it was a different michael. we had two very successful days at rehearsal. michael was feeling great and look at me and asked me if i was happy and i said i was happy and he said he was very happy. >> as you now know, he never returned to staples center. following that rehearsal, michael was taken home and arrived home at about 1:00 in the morning. what transpired from 1:00 in the morning until michael's death?

>> his last rehearsal was 1 that all agreed was wonderful. when michael jackson arrived home, he was excited and anxious to get his sleep for the next day's rehearsal. according to murray's police statement, at approximately 2:00 a.m., he gave michael valium and lorazepam, heavy sedatives, but no propofol. at 3:00 a.m., he gave him another sedative. despite all the drugs, jackson couldn't sleep. hours passed. murray said jackson begged for propofol which because of the milky color, jack called milk. >> he was hysterical. he really could not sleep. he beg and pleaded and asked me please, please dr. conrad, i need some milk so i can sleep. if i don't get any sleep today i could not perform. i cannot do anything.

the agent will be upset. everything will basically go down the drain. he looked to me during that morning to be like in thriller. you have seen the thriller image when he was made up? he looked like that. now, i did not want to give him the medication because i'm trying to show him a different path. but there was a pressure he put on me. he can't practice. he can't go to the concert. aeg is going to be on him. the tour will fall apart. it's not going to happen.

this is it. it's over for this man if he does not make this happen. i fought and struggled. i rubbed his feet. i felt such a weight. i was so, so worried about this man who was my friend. thinking about where his future would lie. wow! >> it was dawn now and dr. murray's edmations were not working. >> there were several times he would walk away from me and go to the other room. to me that was a break.

that was a break. the longer he stayed away, the less i had to deal with the fact that i couldn't get him to sleep. after he beg and pleaded, i said you know what, if i give him just a tiny amount of propofol, 25 milligrams, slowly infuse, i may just tip him into sleep. the other medication will now get a chance to work. he had a fear of the medications. i even told him before we got to that point, michael, i can put an elephant to sleep. you are not -- this is not normal. it's not normal. he fell asleep. i was very pleased.

>> by now according to murray's police statement, it was 10:50 aim and murray watched over michael for 25 minutes until he felt the propofol worked its way through his system. he began making phone calls. >> it was not unusual for me to make calls or return calls in the morning hours while he was still asleep. it wasn't unusual. >> his last call was to a waitress he met recently. he never completed it. >> i said hello? hello? i didn't hear anything. that's when i pressed the phone against my ear and i heard mumbling of voices. it sounded like the phone was maybe in his pocket or something. >> during this call, dr. murray sees his patient, michael jackson stopped breathing. >> he was not breathing so my

concern was have the agents, the valium, the at van overwhelmed him when he went to sleep. not the 25 milligrams of propofol. >> instead of dialling 911 immediately, he attempts to revive jackson. >> i saw him come down the stairs into the kitchen in a panic. frantic. >> what did he shout? >> get help. get security. get prince. >> the first security guy that showed up when he realized there was an emergency comes to the door and his name was alberto alvar alvarez. he got to the door and remained static. >> i was reaching for my phone. as i was doing that, prince and paris came up behind me.

paris screamed out daddy. >> i told security to get the kids away from there. get the kids away from there because i did not want them to see their father getting cpr or the resuscitative event. >> dr. conrad murray said don't let them see their dad like this. i turned around to the children and ushered them out and said kids, don't worry, we will take care of it. everything is going to be okay. >> he said doctor, doctor, what happened? i need help. i am doing cpr. mr. jack is not breathing. call 911. i need you to call 911. >> we have a gentlemen here that needs help and he's not breathing. she not breathing and we are trying to pump him, but he is not -- >> in addition me doing cpr, chest compressions and trying to

resuscitate this patient, he is -- i'm controlling him on the 911 call. how old is this patient? 50! >> we have a personal doctor here with him, sir. >> you have a doctor there? >> yes, but he is not responding to cpr or anything. >> okay. >> i said tell them where he are and get the [ bleep ] over here. get here. i need you. come on. help me. >> if you can please -- >> we are on the way. i am passing these questions on to paramedics while he is on the way. >> he is pumping the chest, but he is not responding, sir. please. >> we are on the way. >> you as the emergency room doctor authorized the paramedics to pronounce the patient dead? >> yes. tdd# 1-800-345-2550 let's talk about the personal attention

with the trial draws fors a close, dr. steven schaffer, an expert on propofol is proving to be an effective witness for the

prosecution. >> you have clearly described 17 egregious violations of the standard of care. these 17 violations individually were likely to result in injury or death to michael jackson. >> yes. . >> murray's defense team will call its own propofol expert, dr. paul white to the stand. the pressure is growing on chernoff and flanagan to counter the prosecution's strong case. >> they have no examples of that. >> here said he was less than a lay person. >> i think the jury believes that. we have to bring them back to the issue of causation. >> you have to get it to the cardiac arrest and otherwise you lose mathematically. >> you think that during cross-examination schaffer is going to admit it's a cardiac

arrest and we will have that conversation? >> i think he's got to admit he doesn't know because he never studied the effects. >> as soon as i can him, he did is going and this and we won't get into the science with this guy, that's what we have a scientist for. >> no. >> i won't argue with you about methodology, mike. >> i will keep my mouth shut. >> i'm just. i'm not having an argument with a guy on the science. >> [ bleep ] you. >> you want to spend three hours doing that, go ahead. >> no, no, no. you don't see the issue. >> got you. >> he has it all mapped out for you, and you are missing it. >> see you guys tomorrow.

>> thank you, doctor, thank you, your honor. >> thank you. at this point, cross-examination >> thank you, judge. >> thank you. >> good afternoon. >> their dispute over strategy led chernoff to remove flanagan from the vital cross-examination of dr. schaffer. >> one of the things that you were asked your opinion about that you testified to yesterday were the actual i.v. set-up, infusion, how michael jackson received the propofol that was in his body. and you understand the difference between opinion and fact, don't you? >> objection, your honor. >> do you? >> i will sustain the objection. >> you understand that everything that you said in the last two days is your opinion. you understand that, right? do you understand that? >> it might be the opinion i have as a physician, but i believe it is an opinion --

well, interesting question. >> chernoff's cross of dr. schaffer resulted in a falling out with flanagan causing chernoff to move out of flanagan's house. >> my theory with the experts is that you don't cross experts in the area of expertise, because you are asking for trouble. you are not going to be smarter than the expert. i don't think that flanagan disagrees with that theory, but it is important enough for me, and that is why i took it over. you know, i'm fighting the judge anyway. fighting the prosecution anyway. i'm hoping that it will all pan out, but it may not. >> with his personal liberty clearly at risk, dr. murray has re-evaluated his own relationships, especially with jackson. >> i do not believe he would have had an active intention to

do me harm. but i think that through his most intense desire to have me there with him, it was interwinded with a degree of betrayal. teach me your way, oh, lord, and lead me to the smooth path because of my enemies and do not deliver me to the will of my adversaries for false witnesses have -- at me. and be of the way of the lord and of courage and he shall strengthen my heart with i say unto the lord. >> yes.

>> they want you to convict dr. murray for the actions of michael jackson. poor conrad murray. everyone is to blame but conrad murray. this type of medical care has never been seen. this was a pharmaceutical experiment, justice demands a guilty verdict. >> we have been dancing around this for six weeks. somebody has to just say it. if it were anybody else but michael jackson, would this doctor be here today? >> ladies and gentlemen of the jury, i'm advised that the jury has reached a verdict. >> we, the jury in the above entitled action, find the defendant conrad robert murray, guilty of the crime of involuntary manslaughter. [ cheers ]

>> guilty, guilty, guilty. >> the judge michael pastor denies dr. murray bail and sends him to the l.a. county jail. >> it was so sad. >> i remember running down the

hall in the e.r. and i was punching the wall. i was punching the wall. i didn't want to lose him. i love him. i don't want to talk anymore. ♪ we're america's natural gas
