After administering the drug Dr Murray then negligently left Jackson?s bedroom to take phone calls, abandoning his patient to die alone.
He was also accused of failing to tell paramedics that he had given Jackson propofol.
Defence
The defence argued that Michael Jackson caused his own death and was ?frustrated? that Dr Murray would not give him the drugs he wanted.
Ed Chernoff, for the defence, claimed the King of Pop swallowed eight 2mg lorazepam sleeping pills in the 10 hours before he died.
He was said to have taken them when Dr Murray was not around. Those pills would have been enough to put six normal people to sleep, Mr Chernoff said.
When Dr Murray later left the singer?s bedroom Jackson self-administered propofol in the doctor?s absence, he claimed.
The combination of propofol and lorazepam produced a ?perfect storm? that killed Jackson instantly.
Mr Chernoff said: ?There was no medic, machine, or doctor that could save him. He died so rapidly so instantly he didn?t have time to close his eyes.?
