dr. steven shafer sat and accused dr. conrad murray of overdosing michael jackson with propofol and lorazepam. killing him with 17 extreme deviations from the standard of care. and how he believes dr. murray jerry-rigged a dangerous home i.v., to constantly drip anesthetic into jackson's body. and in the end, left jurors with this devastating opinion. >> if michael jackson had reached up and seen the roller clamp and opened it himself, it doesn't change things at all. >> reporter: while dr. murray looked perplexed during dr. shafer's testimony, caught out to dinner thursday night, he seemed relaxed. and the next afternoon, friday, the defense got its first shot at the prosecutor's star witness. >> everything you said in the last two days was your opinion. >> it might be the opinion that i have as a physician. if that's -- if you want to stretch the term opinion to that length, then i will agree that my statement that one should not lie at ucla medical center is my opinion. >> reporter: a backdoor slam at conrad murray, wh

dr. shafer that says how dr. murray set up the propofol drip. questioning why the doctor would not just hang the bottle of anesthetic on the i.v. as designed. but instead, cut a hole in a saline bag. and in an attempt to make the prosecution witness look overzealous, perhaps even silly, the defense pointed out to the jury, that dr. shafer did some experimenting on propofol on his own. >> you swallowed propofol. >> before the study, yes. >> reporter: the defense is expected to start its case on monday with a week's worth of witnesses. jim avila, abc news, los angeles. >> our thanks to jim. >>> fou, to ron claiborne with the other headlines. >> good morning to you. welcome back to the second happiest place in the world. that will be explained later. good morning, everyone. we begin with the second deadly shark attack in australia in less than two weeks. a 32-year-old american scuba diver was killed today off the western coast of australia by what was described as a ten-foot-long great white shark. a shark roughly the same size that killed a swimme

dr. shafer, considered one of the best propofol experts in the country. >> dr. rio reconcile with the facts if this case, with dr. conrad murray's statement? answer: no. question: with the physical evidence found at the scene? answer: no. question: does it reconcile with the urine concentration found at open? answer: no. >>reporter: that was the direct examination by the defense team of their star witness, dr. white, the strongest point they made all day. >>shepard: this is winding up, is that true? >>reporter: the judge has been frustrated and shown that in the courtroom in the last couple of days, and he apologized to the jury saying i said this would be done by now and i'm sorry, and i appreciate you staying with me on this, and it could wrap up, the jury could get this case by the middle of next week, cross-examination of white will begin on monday and a couple of rebuttal witnesses and they could get this barring any other problems they have had with scheduling by the middle of the week, and we are told by some of the people in the courtroom the jury is show

dr. steven shafer, the jurors, everybody who was watching it. they heard from him. about the kind of system that dr. conrad murray created to get this propofol to not just drip but almost pour into the body of michael jackson. how damaging was that? >> well, when you're on the prosecution's case and you're let with the questions and you do what you've practiced to do in front of the jury, it comes across very compelling, fred. the great equalizer of cross-examination takes over. what we find early in the cross-examination of dr. shafer is that the setup he used in front of the jury to demonstrate the cords and wires which made up the iv was improper. it was not as it was depicted in the room with michael jackson. so premise number one is wrong, he gave compelling testimony, he was a powerful witness for the prosecution's case. let's get the defense case. let's not jump to conclusions like everyone did in casey anthony. >> he wasn't there, only michael jackson and the doctor were there. as we've heard from previous testimony, conrad murray had everything moved out of

dr. shafer, the prosecution's big wrapup with itness.y on cross-examination and the admission the prosecution's witness made. >> one of the things you said on your -- in your testimony was you could not discount the possibility that michael jackson reached up, woke, reached you have and turned on or turned off the limiter on the i.v. site, is that right? >> correct. megyn: . you know you are in the hospital, they give you have pain medication. you hit the thing to give yourself pain medication. there is a limiter so you can't o.d. >> first all, megyn, when we impanel jurors we tell them one thing very important. don't leave your common sense at the door. bring your common sense to it. could that possibly in a fantasy world of .11% have happened? maybe. that's what the good doctor was saying. but that's not reasonable. you have know reasonable doubt. that's not reasonable doubt. it's not beyond any doubt. megyn: isn't it true the defense on closing argument is going to try to drive a freight train through that admission? >> of course. tha

dr. shafer on the state's list. i believe we will hear from him.may also hear from another cardiologist. it's definitely going to be i think the battle of the experts and we will see which side wins on that. >> that should play out next week. sunny hostin, thank you for being here tonight. >>> a special report on bullying an extraordinary look at real life bullies in action. ♪ and the flowers and the trees ♪ ♪ all laugh when you walk by ♪ and the neighbors' kids run and hide ♪ deep inside you, there's a person who refuses to be kept deep inside you. ♪ but you're not ♪ you're the one be true to yourself. what's healthier than that? >>> all this week, we are taking an in-depth look at an epidemic we have been covering on "360." bullying. it's not just happening in schools. a lot of it happens on-line. it's rare to be caught on camera. a new documentry called "the bullying project." it is extraordinary. it is shown thu the department of education and the parents featured in it have met with the president and first lady. gives you a glimpse of the crue

dr. shafer said it's all conrad murray. dr. e theory could you rule out that michael jackson infused the fatal dose of propofol. he said no, i can't rule that out. that's the argument. now we are on the other side. dr. white is leaving opt possibility that could have happened. no one can say michael jackson definitely did not give himself that dose. so jurors want to define reasonable doubt that way, they could vote not guilty. megyn: >> here is the problem with the testimony from dr. white. he's basing his assumption and analysis in saying dr. murray was truthful in his interview with the police about how much propofol he administered to michael jackson. the reason we won't get to the cross-examination until monday because the testimony is based on the key that dr. murray was telling truth. megyn: i don't want to admit everything i did. this could have been the critical testimony by dr. white, the defense medical expert. the question was so you have think it was a self-injection between 11:30 and 12:00. an answered it was a sel

dr. stephen shafer pulled no punches laying out 17 agregregious violations and one being illegal. >> the lack of medical records, it's such a profound violation. it's the realtime records. it's the -- it's everything. >> reporter: some of the most disturbing violations included using propofol as a sleep aid and administering it in jackson's bedroom without proper monitoring. he was disturbed that dr. murray waited to call 911. that is so egregious. i actually find it difficult to comprehend that you can have a patient who has arrested and you call and you leave a voice message for someone? it's just inconceivable to me. >> reporter: the defense claimed jackson took several lorazapam pills. today, on the stand, dr. shafer disputed the claims. >> the possibility of a direct self-injection seems extremely unlikely. >> reporter: he told jurors had proper medical care been given, michael jackson would still be alive today. once the defense continues their case, it could take four days with 15 witnesses. the case could go to jury as early as next week. >>> an exchange between secretary of stat

dr. shafer. and we may, i don't know for sure, but we may hear from prince on the rebuttal here. e defense will try to paint dr. murray as a very compassionate figure who, you know, helped the poor and did all these wonderful things to counter the negative image. if they do that, it is very possible that prince will end up taking the stand to testify about how all of the things that murrayed? that audiotape about how he comforted the children and conversations they had, flar t flat out lies. >> that's interesting. the defense, starting friday, we expect, and from what you know about the witness list and that approach, what would you say they need to do, the defense, right now? >> well, i mean, number one, they definitely need to make dr. murray look more compassionate to the jury. because right now, the jury's looking at him as somebody who just killed michael jackson. they have seen the body on the gurney. it brings home the point of his death. and his death at the hands of dr. murray. the problem is it doesn't take a genius to realize that whether you cater to the poor or you do

dr. shafer, the prosecution witness. he cannot say that dr. murray acted properly. we know that.is not the person who caused the death of michael jackson and that it was michael jackson. >> thanks for your time. >> thank you, thomas. >> that will do it for me today. i'll see you monday. stay right where you are, richard l ushgui will pick thin. >> coming up next, herman cain tweets his 9-9-9 tax, we'll look at the flat tack rick perry is expected to pitch next week, and who is in the republican race to win it and who is in it to build up their brand. just one phillips' colon health probiotic cap a day helps defends against occasional constipation, diarrhea, gas and bloating. with three strains of good bacteria to help balance your colon. you had me at "probiotic."

dr. shafer says that dr. like an employee to michael jackson than he was a doctor, basically taking orders from the patient. pretty damaging stuff. >> well, it is for the element of gross negligence. and the prosecution has done a whale of a job proving he was grossly negligent. the problem they've got is in order to convict dr. murray they still have to show that his gross negligence caused the death. and i don't know that they've made that burden. their burden is beyond a reasonable doubt that the propofol and the administering of it is what caused this cardiac arrest. and i think that's what the jury's going to be wrestling with. and that's certainly what the jury instruction is going to say. this idea of causation. >> sunny, do you think his gross negligence caused the death, by not having the right equipment even in the room? >> there's no question about it. i don't know what trial, mark, you're watching. the bottom line is, not only has the prosecution proved that conrad murray did not have the proper m

dr. sheechb shafer will be on the stand. the cross-examination phase. the defense has their own expert.olid witness for the prosecution and will be hard to attack. what he did effectively for the prosecution was lay out the scenarios of what could have happened to michael jackson to cause his death. and specifically, he told the jury there was only one plausible scenario, and that was that dr. conrad murray used an i.v. drip on michael jackson and then left the room. >> michael jackson died while the infusion was running. >> so the propofol was going into his body even as his heart was stopping? >> that's correct. >> reporter: for the first time we saw emotion out of conrad murray. he became very upset as did his lawyers while david walgren, the district attorney, was doing a demonstration with dr. shafer. >> is this -- >> reporter: walgren unpeeled a sealed handle, a plastic handle on top of a very important piece of evidence. the bottle of propofol that the state alleges was used to deliver the fatal dose to michael jackson. walgren unsealed it -- a previously sealed plastic little ha

dr. shafer, they poked holes in his testimony. they gave michael jackson 40 times the propofol than the 25 milligrams he claimed. he testified he believes he administered the anesthetic through an iv drip. >> it's consistent with michael jackson dying on a drip of propofol. >> reporter: but the defense says he took eight lorazepam taplets before he died and claims jackson injected himself with propofol in a desperate attempt to sleep. they tell nbc news murray's lawyers developed a new time line and will lay it out this week. >> they have to kick up enough sand and hopefully something sticks with a juror that creates reasonable doubt. >>> a colleague of shafers was sitting there, dr. paul white who will testify. >> he's going to point out mistakes, he didn't know the drug. he didn't know the literature and he was making all the assumptions just to have an opinion against dr. murray. >> reporter: defense is expected to call 15 witnesses hoping to chip away at the prosecutions case. after being on tour for three weeks, michael's sis

dr. shafer, i'm sure he will testify to a couple of things. will say the propofol level was within accepted standard of cares, that if 911 was called, he still wouldn't have been able to save him and that the lorazepam was a contributing factor. >> how does the case look? >> i think the facts are strong for the prosecution. it sounds a lot to a lay jury like a medical malpractice case. and it's an l.a. jury -- >> anything is possible. >> anything is possible. >> today or on monday when the defense starts what should we be looking out for? >> the battle of experts and that dr. murray was not as egregiously not conducting himself within medical standards as the prosecution painted him to be. he was following procedure safely up to this night and something happened that wasn't anticipated. >> thank you very much, john q. kelly. >> sure. >>> why there's talk of a confession in the case of missing baby lisa. >>> and presidential candidates as say they're in it to win it. but are they really? ♪ [ cellphone rings ] cut!

dr. stephen shafer continues rice now.ow you, he is the witness who was on the stand for about a week. now, there were three dark days because of trial procedures and other things that happened, so he was really on the stand for three full days if you were to count the time and a little bit more than that. he's now on again during cross-examination. he tied the whole prosecution case together. he said dr. conrad murray left the singer 17 times making 17 mistakes, basically, and be said he abandoned michael jackson during his care. he really had a strong case for the prosecution, but on friday when cross-examination began, the defense made some inroads, and that continues. and there is some significant sparring in the courtroom on friday. take a listen. >> extraordinary things require extraordinary or proof. >> and you certainly do consider that what you have claimed occurred in this case is an extraordinary claim. >> not at all. >> you understand that dr. murray is literally on trial for his life. >> reporter: once again,

dr. shafer as being antagonistic toward dr. white and vice versa and that may amplify or embellish his testimony because of the personal vendetta against him. >> the defense has a lot of work ahead of them. >> sure. >> they have to backtrack and basically go into damage control mode. where should they start? >> well, i think they've got to do three things. one, they've got to have three experts to counteract the prosecution experts, once again, all ties go to the defendant. if they have experts who say there prnt egregious deviations from the accepted standarded of care, didn't rise to the level of criminal, secondly they'll hit upon the fact that the iv tubing was never seized or disappeared on the part of the prosecution. it's not there in evidence. and thirdly they have to show that there have been incidents of conduct like this or worse in the past where doctors aren't charged criminally and this is sort of a, because it's michael jackson this doctor is being made sort of a martyr in being selectively prosecuted. >> what do

dr. steven shafer, who wrote the dosage book on propofol, told the jury michael jackson had too much of thehetic he called milk in his system at autopsy for dr. murray to have been telling the truth. shafer set out to prove that instead of one small injection jackson died because conrad murray jerry-rigged an uncontrolled, unmonitored home delivery i.v., to drip propofol into jackson's body. inserting the open anesthetic bottle into an empty saline bag. and shafer finally finished, emphasizing one of the prosecution themes. that even if the jury believes the defense that it was michael jackson who desperately grabbed and injected propofol into his own body conrad murray is still at fault. >> he is the physician who brought propofol into the room. started it intravenous and provided access to propofol, to a patient who may be developing a dependency on sedatives. and he has been entrusted by michael jackson to look out for his safety every night. he's responsible for every drop of propofol in that room. >> reporter: the defense will cross-examine dr. shafer today. and is expected to begin it

dr. steven shafer, considered to be the star witness of the prosecution.e's also considered to be the expert when it comes to propofol and one of the best anesthesiologists in the world. the defense will cross-examine him today, court had a scheduling issue this morning, so that'll begin about midday here locally. and the defense could start their case by the end of the day today, and they could wrap their case by the middle to end of next week. as we know, jenna, in this trial nothing has gone as planned, but it should be interesting to see how the defense goes after this expert because by all accounts dr. shafer was extremely compelling, and his yes den rnls with -- credentials are impeccable. jenna: you will not miss a beat in the trial of dr. murray. if you want to go to foxnews.com, the trial there is streaming live, you can watch all the details as they happen. in the meantime, jon, we have some big news here. jon: yeah. we are awaiting a statement from president obama. he's going to be making it at at the white house shortly. we understand it is goi

dr. steven shafer. hired by the defense to rebut what most observers agree was strong medical evidence that conrad murray overmedicated and killed michael jackson on june 25th, 2009. >> would this present a dangerous situation here? >> not at all. and that is a dose that might be used to produce a little bit of anxiety relief, a little bit of sleepiness. >> reporter: conrad murray told police in his interview with police two days after jackson died, he gave michael only one small dose of propofol. >> 25 milligrams, over, i would say, three to five minutes. >> reporter: the prosecution expert said that could not be true, because jackson had lots more in his system at autopsy. and the only scenario that makes sense is that dr. murray delivered propofol into jackson's body through an iv for hours. but instead, dr. white and the defense say it makes much more sense that jackson woke up while dr. murray was out of the room and used a syringe to push propofol into the iv line directly, while taking eight lora

dr. steven shafer. when they are done with this case when that goes to the jury there are two things the jury has to realize and make a decision on. one is dr. murray a sympathetic figure, and two which expert do they believe. do they believe paul white the defense expert or dr. steven shafer. both esteemed in their proceed testing, incredibly well-known in their profession. it comes down to which one will they believe. there is a slight chance that dr. murray could take the stand himself. the defense has said he won't. there is still a slight possibility we are told by legal experts that dr. murray could take the stand in his own defense. the judge will ask him that in an open courtroom once the defense says they are prepared to rest. jon: how much time does he face if convicted. >> reporter: four years and loss of his medical licenses. four years is what he'd be facing if he got the maximum penalty if he was convicted, jon. jon: adam housley live in l.a., thanks. jenna: we want to bring your attention

dr. steven shafer said that dr.ng michael jackson medication at about midnight so those times don't really add up. it's one of the defense tactics to try to create some type of reasonable doubt with the jury. they are also going with this push to prove michael jackson was desperate the for sleep, that he was a drug addict and would have done anything to get sleep so when court resumes we'll see his nurse practitioner back on the stand. she has said that michael jackson also asked her for propofol. both professionals, the doctor and nurse, refused to give michael jackson that drug. the defense could wrap up late they are week, thomas. >> kristen, thanks so much. >>> so it sounds like an episode of "glee" but a real high school music is prompting some football players to walk out in protest. we'll tell you what's getting parents and students so worked up next.
