LOS ANGELES (AP) — A woman who was speaking on the phone with the doctor charged in Michael Jackson’s death the day the singer died says the call was interrupted and the physician was no longer paying attention to her.
Sade Anding says she heard voices, coughing and mumbling on Dr. Conrad Murray’s end of the line. She told jurors in Murray’s involuntary manslaughter case that it sounded like his cell phone was in his pocket.
Anding says Murray called her at 11:51 a.m. on June 25, 2009. About five or six minutes into their call is when she noticed Murray was no longer paying attention.
Murray has pleaded not guilty. Authorities are focusing on his phone records to try to show he was distracted when he should have been caring for Jackson.
