Interesting:yes: but it still doesn't look good for the doctor:no:
 
I would say Dr Murray. Dr Murray had no business giving MJ propofol anyway. All he had to say was Mr. Jackson this is not a good idea and it's unsafe and it's not for insomnia so I will not give this to you. I will help you find someone who can help you though. That's all Murray had to do. He knows good and well propofol is not a remedy for insomnia
 
um~~~Really interesting interview. Thanks for sharing.
So I guess Aphrodite Jones is also going to follow the Murray case?
What Patrick Treasy said said is quite consist to the the other person who is MJ's friend since 90s (I know she really knew MJ for a long time).
She said she never noticed MJ had drug problem during all the time she was with him. MJ only took some pain killer when he really can't deal the pain. She was also so shocked when she found out how MJ died.
What Patrick Treasy said seemed also consist with those 3 bodyguards.
 
Thanks, will listen to this later, I trust Dr. Treacy. And appreciate Aphrodite's work in getting truth out there on Michael's behalf. ..
 
Will Dr. Treacy be testifying at the trial?
 
THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
I pray Dr. Partric Treacy is allowed to testify. :angel:
I'll say it again: Conrad Murray is a liar and a murderer.
Perhaps someone on staff will post a transcript for those who
cannot view the videos.

I can't see the videos, can someone give a brief summary of what he says
 
Aphrodite is great as usual.Helping to get the truth out there. Thanks for posting.
 
Does he say if he will be testifying at the trial or not?
 
Does he say if he will be testifying at the trial or not?
He does not say whether he will be testifying; but he would make an excellent witness.
He tells of an incident when Michael Jackson specifically declined to
have a medical procedure done because an anesthetist was not available.
 
Transcript done for mine and my friends' site, with just a couple of comments left out (nose-related, though not invasive, and a couple of other ones that I just thought I'd leave them out, regarding whether he felt he could have become a d-a, and he was giving his opinion merely).

“I was (his) only physician that I am aware of [when he was in Ireland], and I think I’d certainly be aware if he had either another physician or even if he had drugs in the house. But, certainly, he had no sleeping problems that I knew (of). […] [When he lived in Ireland], I’d never seen this. You know, and I never prescribed him any drugs for insomnia. I was in his house in many occasions, I’d never seen any drugs in his house. […] Absolutely nothing. […] Any time that Michael ever used propofol with us it was in the presence of the anesthesists, and he always requested that (an anesthesist be present for that). […] Absolutely. There was one time I had to go to Michael’s house, and (that) was a few days before he met the Queen at the opening of Casino Royale. Michael, after one of his other procedures, (…) he had a hypersensitivity (…), and I couldn’t get an anesthesist to go to the house that night, I myself could have get (sic) him Midazolam, (…), I could’ve reversed it with a (inaudible, most likely, a medical substitute), but he wouldn’t even do that; it would seem unusual to me that Michael would go for somebody who certainly did not use the drug that I knew, (…) to suddenly die of IV – ICU type of drug. I think it would be highly unusual for a doctor to use the combination of a benzodiazepan and propofol together outside the environment of an intensive care unit or without having some qualifications in anesthesiology. […]”

“I think it’s starting already [the smear campaign against Michael Jackson by the defense of Conrad Murray]… And that’s predictable. One of the reasons I’m making this interview now in New York is the fact that I think Michael’s legacy is tainted, and somebody that was a friend, I feel very saddened to think that nobody really knew the Michael Jackson that I knew. […] [I was not approached by Michael for any kind of narcotics.] Absolutely not. […] [I have not seen any signs of drug addiction in him,] absolutely not. I can only talk about the period that I knew him in Ireland, and, certainly, during that period he never asked me for any sort of control substances, he never had any in the house that I was aware of and he certainly never acted as if he had any - in my humble opinion, medical or otherwise. […] I think [my gut reaction when I realized Michael was really gone was] one of astonishment. That somebody so young, just 50 years of age, you know… sort of, had passed away. I knew that it had to be some reason for it. […] And certainly, during the period that I knew Michael, he was certainly in good physical health. So, for a 50 year old to die out of the blue, it would almost have to be something that it almost happened, the fact that he, sort of, got killed by a drug, in a way, made sense to me, I knew he was in a good enough health, he wasn’t gonna die of a heart attack out of the blue. […] I wasn’t in the room when Dr. Murray was in the room trying to perform CPR (on Michael), but normally, you would need two hands to do it, [not just one]. […] Then it would seem to me a bit unusual for a cardiologist to perform cardio-pulmonary resuscitation in that manner. So, I’m sure we should prepare ourselves for rocky waters ahead. He’s gonna be (portrait as) ‘W**** J**** the drug freak’, and, you know, there is (sic) a lot of people that’s (sic) gonna believe that.”

Alma :angel: , thousand thanks for the transcript!

I believe Dr. Treacy completely. He has no reason to lie and nothing to gain. I also hope he is called as a witness for the prosecution. Since Michael was so adamant about having an anesthetist present and not wanting to use Midazolam, it all makes this murray episode so much more mysterious.
He may have trusted murray but he probably also trusted Dr. Treacy. So how could murray have convinced him to do something he had resisted previously. Was stress truly starting to get to him? Or is it possible that he didn't have any actual problem until murray came along and began his 'treatment' regime which then caused the insomnia which then led to the drugs and the eventual outcome? Michael may have hired murray but could it be possible other interested parties also had an influence on what murray did? I thought I read that someone told Michael when murray was first introduced to Michael that he had a hold or some such thing over murray? My recollection is a bit hazy on this. This might be wandering into conspiracy territory but i makes me wonder.
 
thanks for the youtube clips and the transcript. I hope this doctor testifies in court. people should hear what he has to say.
 
Thanks for the transcript.

The one thing that I do recall is Michael mentioning his insomnia to someone else while being in Ireland- being filmed by a camera. He was joking with a camera guy about making him look like he got a good night's sleep despite being tired. (same studio setting that Hollywood Access filmed him in- but it wasn't the Billy Bush interview, it was an Irish documentary on Irish TV, I wished I could recall the exact name of the show).

But, Treacy sounds like he's sticking exactly to what he has seen and heard personally from Michael himself, which seems to be extremely rare.
 
Welcome, all. ..

Dr. Treacy seems to genuinely care for Michael, he's genuine and you can tell he is. He's been offered lotsa money before by all sorts of tabs and other media tools to say some dirt about Michael, yet he's never accepted to.

As for Michael complaining/confessing he couldn't sleep... insomnia is, well, insomnia. But he didn't resort to medication or what not to get sleep, by all accounts, he went to sleep late and created a lot at night, was a night owl (his own words as well). Only when on tours and.. before, like it happened before the concerts that never happened in London, his insomnia worsened.., his mind also was filled with many creative ideas and the adrenaline (subsequent to the rehearsals) was high. Vulnerability, given such circumstances (to top the lawsuits flying around him all over on end), also tends to increase a lot and is very easy to be exploited, which Murrray did.. to death. Murray was bragging to one of his girlfriends, Sade, according to her, how Murray will go to London, how he's to make lots of money, how he feels this cool man for being Michael's 'doctor', that nothing mattered. Absolutely nothing, 'xcept his dough.
 
Wow.... this is just so sad. How come people don't know this... people should.

Yes, they certainly should.

But you know what, there is no shock value in it for the media. Nothing to make the average person say, wow, isn't that awful meanwhile lapping up the negative news. There's no scandal in it, is there? If Treacy had said, oh, yes, Michael was desparate for meds, etc., etc., I would bet anything that the media would be circling him like sharks and it would be all over the entertainment pages.
Since it is something positive, they are no where to be found.
Money and ratings. That's what news reporting is all about these days.
 
But, certainly, he had no sleeping problems that I knew (of). […] [When he lived in Ireland], I’d never seen this.

Good interview but the might be a little off. I mean perhaps he hasn't experienced it but it looks like some people in Ireland experienced Michael's insomnia. Pace is right Michael was complaining in the E interview with William (it was the outtakes of Billy Bush interview that they aired after Michael's death) and I also believe that the owners of the place that he stayed mentioned seeing him dancing under the moon at 3-4 AM.
 
Dr Teacy needs to testify. Hopefully he will to prove that MJ wasn't asking for narcotics to get high. Even though the autopsy proves MJ was clean with the exception of what murdering Murray gave him, having a respectable on the stand defending MJ would be nice.

Well, Dr. Treacy did mention that, during the times he saw him, in Ireland, Michael didn't complain to him about insomnia. ..

I remember what video it was, but I cannot find it. It was on Access Hollywood website, outtakes from Billy Bush interview. Michael was talking about camera angle and mentioned something like "make it look like I slept last night" (this is not exact quote, of course)
 
^Yea I seen that Access Hollywood video too when MJ said that! But, like Treacy said MJ never ask for anything! In the presence of Treacy MJ didn't say anything to Treacy (his doctor) for him to think MJ was having a problem sleeping! Which is the important part and what he is basically saying!
