conrad murray did not cause his death.icult is that going to be for the defense to connect those dots? >> well, it really depends on the medical evidence, the autopsy reports and the evidence and the testimony given bif the doctors who will have analyzed those reports. one of the problems, it seems to me, that the defense has with that argument is the following. michael jackson, as i understand it, was addicted, had drug substance abuse problems that conrad murray was allegedly working to cure, to help michael jackson stop using these drugs. why, then, would conrad murray leave the room whfilled with propofol, ativan, various medications within the reach of michael jackson? particularly if, as the defense has said, the propofol is very quick acting, in, out, quickly, and you wake up relatively quickly. was that in and of itself risky, reckless conduct that rises to the level of criminal conduct? >> let me ask you, sanjay. first of all, you've been in the hospital. you've seen how quickly this stuff can work. >> yep. >> you
