Conrad Murray Trial Recap: Michael Jackson’s Daughter Paris, ‘I Don’t Want To Be An Orphan’

By Jen Heger – Radar Legal Editor

Deputy District Attorney David Walgren played the audiotaped interview that Dr. Conrad Murray did with the LAPD just two days after Michael Jackson died, in court Friday, and the interview had the jurors’ full attention, RadarOnline.com is reporting.

It was a brilliant and strategic move by Walgren because Monday is a court holiday, and jurors will certainly have plenty of time to think about Murray admitting to cops that he gave Michael Jackson Propofol.

In Murray’s interview, he told cops Jackson asked him for “some milk,” his codeword for Propofol, and he admitted that he administered it to the King of Pop.

Detective Smith: About what time was this?
Dr. Murray: This he said, “please, please give me some milk so that I can sleep, because I know that this is all that really works for me”
Detective Smith: Hot milk or warm or just–
Dr. Murray: It’s just some medicine–
Detective Smith: What–
Dr. Murray: –that he was familiar with
Detective Martinez: What is the medicine?
Dr. Murray: It’s called Propofol

Dr. Murray also told the cops he only left Jackson’s bedside for two-three minutes to go to the bathroom after 10:40 a.m., but cell phone records indicate that the doctor was on the phone with a number of his girlfriends in the minutes leading up to Michael Jackson’s death.

Murray went on to explain how he broke the news of Jackson’s death to the singer’s mother, Katherine Jackson, upon her arrival at the UCLA Ronald Reagan Medical Center.

Dr. Murray: So we — they brought her into a room down the hall. And I went in there with the emergency room physician who was treating him, whom I was with all the time through his code, and they broke the news to Mrs. Jackson. So the doctor started to tell that, you know her son came in and he was having difficulty breathing and they tried everything. And she said, “well how is he? He’s not dead is he?” and the doctor said “yes,” and she broke down. It was very — and weeping. We stayed there, held her hand.”

Dr. Murray then talked about how he went to another room where Jackson’s three children were, and told them their father had died.

Dr. Murray: They asked questions, and the children found out that daddy wasn’t doing well, that he had passed away. And then they were weeping, really weeping…after they cried and cried and then his daughter uttered a lot of words of unhappiness, and you know she will live alone without her dad and she didn’t want to be an orphan…She cried and was very stark. And then she asked to see him. And then that was another thing. How do you let children see him? I asked them to prepare Mr. Jackson’s body, make it as presentable as possible, because I recommended an autopsy be performed, so that the children would be able to view their daddy and have them say good-bye to him at this time.”

Court will be in recess until next Tuesday.
