she's a crucial witness for aeg. what they want to pull out of her is the following. they want to establish that michael jackson was using drugs for decades and specifically he us used propofol for decades. when she was on tour in germany, she was in a hotel room on several occasions where he was receiving propofol. the idea is that he did this, abused this, and didn't tell anybody. family members didn't know. she was one of the few people who knew about michael jackson's addiction. that's why they are bringing her rather than other people in to establish his addictive history. >> and jean casarez, if you could jump in on this as well, they were married in '96 and they were divorced just three years later in '99. so, yes, she had three years but it's a long time ago. is that significant in terms of what happened to this particular case that speaks to these particular facts? >> reporter: i think that's an excellent point right there. i think that's what the other side is going to say. what the defense, though, i think wants her to show and through her testimony is that
