Dr. Conrad Murray's involuntary manslaughter trial continued Wednesday, and it included a full recording of Michael Jackson -- just six weeks before he died.
The recording took place at 9:05 a.m. on May 10, 2009, and it was later found on Murray's iPhone after MJ's death on June 25, 2009. Jackson's speech was very slurred that the recording was slowed down so jurors could understand what was being said.
Jackson can be heard admitting that he was depressed and wanted to dedicate his This Is It world tour to all the children. "I love them because I didn't have a childhood," the King of Pop said during the almost incoherent conversation.
Although his speech is difficult to understand, Jackson did seem determined to perform. It's not known why Murray decided to record this particular conversation, but it does show that the doctor was well-aware of Jackson's drug-induced condition.
After the recording was played, computer forensic expert Stephen Marx testified that Murray's iPhone showed that the physician used different aliases for Jackson, which was MJ's way of obtaining drugs.
Murray is expected to testify later today.
