News Americas, LOS ANGELES, CA, Thurs. Sept. 29, 2011: The Caribbean-born doctor of the late King of Pop was more concerned about a cream minutes after he died, jurors heard Wednesday.
Michael Amir Williams, Jackson’s personal assistant for two years testified that recalled phone call from Murray alerting him that something had gone terribly wrong.
“He said ‘Where are you?’ I said: ‘I’m downtown.’ He said ‘Get here right away, Mr. Jackson had a bad reaction. Get here right away’ … He said,” Williams told the court.
He said after Jackson was pronounced dead, he had an “odd” conversation with Murray.
“I was in a hallway. We were making small talk about how horrible this is. Then, “he said that there’s some cream in Michael’s room .. that he wouldn’t want the world to know about. And he requested that I or someone give him a ride back to the house to get it.”
Williams said he refused the request.
Jackson died on June 25, 2009 at age 50 from an overdose of the powerful sedative propofol.
The Grenada-born Murray, 58, has pleaded not guilty to involuntary manslaughter and he and his attorneys have denied he gave Jackson anything that should have killed the pop superstar.
If convicted, he faces up to four years in prison and the loss of his medical license.
