D.A. To Cross-Examine Expert Who Says Michael Jackson Injected Himself
Oct. 30 2011, Published 11:00 a.m. ET
The anesthesiologist who testified Michael Jackson likely injected himself with the fatal dose of propofol will be cross-examined in the trial of Dr. Conrad Murray Monday, and RadarOnline.com will be live streaming the hearing starting at 8:45 am PT/11:45 am ET.
Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney David Walgren and his team took the weekend to prepare to grill Dr. Paul White, who testified last week that the late King of Pop probably gave himself a 25-milligram dose of propofol between 11:30 a.m. and noon on June 25, 2009, the day he died.
White on Friday said that the amount of drugs found in Jackson's stomach, blood and urine indicated the Thriller singer quickly injected himself with propofol and swallowed a large dose of lorazepam while Murray was out of the room.
White, the defense's final witness, is considered one of the leading experts on propofol along with Dr. Steven Shafer, the expert who earlier testified for the prosecution.
Murray is standing trial in Jackson‘s death at 50 from acute intoxication of a powerful anesthetic complicated by other sedatives. If convicted, he faces up to four years in prison, as well as losing his medical license.
