CATCH UP: The Michael Jackson Manslaughter Trial (WEEK 1 RECAP)

As Week 1 of Dr. Conrad Murray’s manslaughter trail comes to a close, it’s not looking too bright for the Doc’s future as he’s been painted as an irresponsible care-taker. 

And most shockingly, one of the paramedics claimed if Dr. Murray would have made some different choices--like calling 9-1-1 immediately--the King of Pop would still be alive.  Get a recap of week one inside....

As murky details emerge in the death of Michael Jackson, it has all boiled down to the prosecution wanting the world to believe that MJ’s death was unnecessary and could have been avoided if Dr. Conrad Murray weren’t negligent. 

It is argued that patient abandonment occurred since Michael’s heart stopped while Dr. Murray was not in the room.

And once Murray returned to the room, calling 911 was the LAST thing he did.  Maybe if he would have made the call first, according to a paramedic who took the stand this week, the King would still be alive.

Here are some notable points from the week:

  • The Defense argues that Michael Jackson took his own life as he self-injected a dose of Propofol that created a perfect-storm, resulting in his death.  They also argue that he died instantly and there was nothing that Dr. Murray could have done to save him.
  • The Prosecution (The State of California) argues Dr. Murray should be held criminally responsible for MJ’s death because of medical negligence and his reckless use of the surgical anesthetic propofol.  The coroner ruled that Jackson's June 25, 2009, death was the result of "acute propofol intoxication" in combination with sedatives.
  • It’s been revealed that Michal Jackson’s three children have no plans attended the trail as the details would likely be very painful to relive. However, Prince (the eldest) has said he would take the stand if need be.
  • Dr.  Murray is accused of misleading paramedics, mainly the emergency room doctor, Dr. Richelle Cooper, because he only “shared” that he gave Michel two doses of the sedative Lorazepam (and mentioned nothing about any other drugs or Propofol) Failing to mention anything about Propofol is a key issue in the case because the coroner ruled it played a major role in the death.
  • The paramedics say that they were with MJ for 42 minutes and NEVER saw any signs of life.
  • MJ’s bodyguard, Alberto Alvarez, said when he arrived in the bedroom, Michael’s eyes were open and he appeared to be dead. He was instructed by Dr. Murray to hide/dispose of several vials of drugs and all medicine from the nightstand BEFORE 911 was called.
  • Gallons of Propofol were ordered by Dr. Murray after Michael sounded lifeless while under the influence of the drug.

 

Perhaps the most shocking revelation of all was the photo of a lifeless King of Pop taken in the hospital.  As well as the sad and disturbing audio that Dr. Murray recorded on his phone (we still don't understand why this was done) of Michael as he was under the influence of the prescribed drugs. 

The trial will continue Monday morning.

Between romantic dates in empty basketball arenas with boyfriend Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez has found some time to squeeze in a new gig: host of the 2011 MTV Europe Music Awards.

Gomez, who got her hosting feet wet when she served as a special black-carpet correspondent at the 2011 MTV VMA pre-show in Los Angeles, will help celebrate the best in the world when the awards show touches down in Belfast, Ireland, at the Odyssey Arena on November 6.

"I'm so excited to be the host of the 2011 MTV EMA--it's a dream come true!" Gomez said a statement announcing her gig. "This is such a huge event that always recognizes the biggest stars in music from across the globe, so it's a real honour to be MC at this year's show."

Gomez has been on the road for the past few months promoting When the Sun Goes Down, the third album from her band, Selena Gomez and the Scene. Not only will she keep the action moving on the main stage at the EMA, but she will also tweet in the midst of the show and offer some behind-the-scenes dish on other social media platforms as the show is taking place.

Lady Gaga leads the EMA pack with six nominations, followed by Katy Perry and Bruno Mars with four and Adele, Justin Bieber and 30 Seconds to Mars with three. Other nominees include LMFAO, Beyoncé, Coldplay, Eminem, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Kanye West, Wiz Khalifa, Kings of Leon, Linkin Park, Jennifer Lopez, Foo Fighters and Snoop Dogg. American and Canadian audiences can vote for the North American nominee for the Worldwide Act EMA, who will represent the continent against contenders from across the globe.

Do you think Selena will do a good job as EMA host? Let us know in the comments!
