Day four of Conrad Murray's manslaughter trial has wrapped up.
Friday's witnesses included Bob Johnson of Nonin Medical Equipment, Murray's former patient Robert Russell, paramedic/firefighter Richard Senneff, paramedic/firefighter Martin Blount and Jackson's attending ER Doctor Richelle Cooper.
The most revealing testimony today included:
- Johnson said the device used to monitor Jackson was a pulse oximeter, but Murray used the wrong one and it had no alarm in case anything went wrong.
- The first paramedic, Senneff, claimed if Murray had called 911 right away instead of after a 20-minute delay, there was a chance that they could have restarted Jackson's heart and saved his life.
- Senneff also revealed that Murray claimed Jackson wasn't on any medication, only later saying he gave the King of Pop the sedative Lorazepam; Propofol was never mentioned by Murray to the paramedics or the attending ER doctor.
- Despite the fact that Jackson was D.O.A., the paramedics tried to revive him for 47 minutes as Murray wouldn't let them call a time of death.
- The second paramedic, Blount, claims he spotted Murray grabbing Lidocaine bottles and putting them in a bag before Jackson was wheeled out.
- The attending ER doc Cooper revealed that Murray told her Jackson was "dehydrated" after extended rehearsals and that the only drugs Michael took were Flomax and Valium.
