Dr. Conrad Murray’s legal team expects us to believe Michael Jackson gave himself a fatal dose of the sedative Propofol.
Uh-Huh.
In February, Murray was charged with manslaughter in connection with the June 25 overdose death of the King of Pop. He could face up to four years in prison if convicted.
Multiple sources familiar with Murray’s attorneys’ strategy told TMZ.com Sunday that the defense will argue that Murray gave Jackson a lethal 25 mg portion of the anesthetic to help him sleep, but when Murray briefly stepped out of the room to use the restroom, the sleep-deprived and frustrated Jackson self-injected the remaining contents of the bottle through an IV — sunsequently causing a massive overdose that stopped his heart.
Murray claims he returned to the room after about two minutes and saw the “Human Nature” singer with his eyes open and pupils dilated, prompting the doctor to begin CPR.
