Dr. Murray Ordered a Boatload of Propofol for MJ

A pharmacist Dr. Murray used to order Propofol just testified the doctor ordered box after box of the drug in the two months before Michael Jackson's death.

Tim Lopez, a pharmacist at Applied Pharmacy Services in Las Vegas, said beginning on April 6, 2009, Dr. Murray began ordering large quantities of Propofol. On that date, he ordered 10 single dose vials.

Murray, who had the drugs sent to his girlfriend's Santa Monica home where he was living, also ordered boxes of the drug on April 28 -- 4 boxes and each of the boxes had 10 100ml vials.

Later that month, Murray ordered 20 vials of midazolam and 20 vials of lorazepam.

On May 12, Murray ordered 4 boxes of Propofol, along with 2 trays of midazolam.

On June 10, Murray ordered 4 boxes of Propofol, and 2 20ml Propofol.

In all, Murray ordered 255 vials of Propofol in the two months -- including 130 vials of Propofol in 100ml doses and another 125 vials of Propofol in 20ml vials.

Murray Lawyer Paints Picture -- Michael Killed Himself
Updated 1/07/11 at 3:30pm

Dr. Conrad Murray's lawyers laid the groundwork for their defense -- Michael Jackson delivered the fatal shot of Propofol to himself.

Murray's lawyer, J. Michael Flanagan, asked Coroner investigator Elissa Fleak two questions 1) Was the IV bag fingerprinted? and 2) Was it possible for Jackson to reach the syringes from the bed?

As TMZ first reported, the defense will argue that Jackson became frustrated when he couldn't sleep that day and gave himself the fatal shot of Propofol when Murray was out of the room.

Murray's Other GF Describes Deliveries, No Mention of Propofol
Updated 1/07/11 at 12:15pm

Dr. Conrad Murray's baby mama, Nicole Alvarez, testified today about multiple mystery packages Murray had sent to her Los Angeles apartment between April and June 2009.

Although the contents of the packages were not mentioned in court, TMZ first reported back in October 2009 ... those packages were shipped from Murray's pharmacy in Las Vegas and contained Propofol.

Alvarez was also one of the people that received a phone call from Dr. Murray on the day Jackson died -- but the prosecution did not question her about the call. Murray's team declined to cross-examine.

Why order so much Propofol? Was it to take to London? Surely that wouldn't have been able to get through customs, right?

No I dont think it would get through customs but I dont know for sure. Maybe CC would know. So he was trying to ween Michael off of it huh? Thats alot of propofol. I wonder what other doctors think of that. I mean it seems like alot. To me thats a shady pharmacy. I mean why didnt the pharmacy look into that?

They asked for medical records to finalize the insurance. We did hear it was not complete and another test was still in the plan. Also, though 255 vials sounds lot, I doubt it really makes enough for 6 weeks of sleeping with it. With a bit of counting, we concluded he should have gotten all 12 vials in the room to make him sleep 8 hours on 1 day. So then, 6x7x12=504 vials, or if he only used for 4 night/week then 288 vials. Not enough, it doesn't seem to collaborate his story. I think he might have been collecting it for the tour.

Defense: Michael Jackson Drank Propofol

Michael Jackson may have drank himself to death by consuming a juice box laced with Propofol -- at least that's what Conrad Murray's defense team suggested in court today.

Murray's attorney, J. Michael Flanagan, was questioning a Senior Criminalist from the L.A. County Coroner's Office about the 70 grams of fluid found in MJ's stomach at the time of the autopsy ... fluid that tested positive for traces of Propofol.

Flanagan noted the presence of a juice box on MJ's nightstand ... and asked if it had been tested for Propofol ... raising the possibility that MJ was sippin' on the anesthetic shortly before he died.

The criminalist testified he had not tested the juice box.

So what's Flanagan's point? He might be suggesting that MJ was secretly self-administering his Propofol ... which would support Murray's defense theory that MJ accidentally caused his own overdose.

I was wondering when that was going to come up. I knew they say some BS like that. Michael was drinking propofol out of his juice box? How could he get it in the juice box? enough to make him sleep?

They added caffeine, asprin and ephedrine

No wonder he was losing weight! Not eating plus that? Damn!!!!!
