Dr. Conrad Murray’s lawyer has dismissed speculation the personal physician failed to fully co-operate with paramedics on the day of Michael Jackson’s death, insisting he did “everything in his power” to save the King of Pop.
The pop superstar suffered a fatal cardiac arrest last June. Murray is accused of administering the powerful anaesthetic Propofol which led to the singer’s death, and he has pleaded not guilty to one count of involuntary manslaughter.
But an official ambulance report leaked over the weekend appears to show Murray did not inform paramedics about the dose of Propofol he had given the singer moments before he died, telling them he had only administered the sedative Lorazepam and fluids to rehydrate Jackson.
Murray’s lawyer Ed Chernoff has yet to read the ambulance report, but he insists Murray (who has a practice in Houston) did nothing wrong.
He tells TMZ.com, “We can say unequivocally that Dr. Murray did everything in his power to save Michael Jackson’s life and that he fully co-operated with both the paramedics at the scene and physicians at UCLA Medical Center.”
