april 18th convo. did he mention any medicine he could get for sleep. mj asked about IV medication used the word juice. but no name. alan wasnt sure what mj was asking. mj thought oral medicine wouldnt help and metzger knew from experience oral didnt work. metzger tried him on tyronal xanax on that date he tried colonpam, trazadone. mj asked about an anesthetic. didnt give a name. alan knew of the drug but not much as its not his field.

direct over

cross

april 18th when mj asked about IV .you explained to mj it was dangerous shouldnt be done outside of a hospital. ever give mj diprivan never. any amount of money would make you give it? never

redirect.chernoff says you told mj is was dangerous shouldnt be given outside a hospital but u didnt know what he was asking for? mj wanted IV sleep medication its written as that in his records and anything IV as a sleep med is dangerous says alan. so doesnt matter if mj didnt directly name something

metzger is off the stand. defo a hostile witness
 
Conrad Murray is one shady doctor who gave Michael false hope that propofol can help with his sleep problem. There is no way Michael asked for it. He's been told that it's dangerous.
 
Metzger surely didn't help the defense, I don't see what they were hoping to establish by calling Metzger.
10 more to go now.
 
So much for Metzger being any help at all to the defense. Murray looked like he was gonna have a stroke!

"Yes, I knew about Klein.
"Yes, Michael asked for an IV sleep aid, and I said NO."
"An IV sleep aid is DANGEROUS and LIFE-THREATENING.
"

next?
 
they wanted metzger to say that mj asked for diprivan in april. but alan never used the word diprivan just talked about IV meds/anesthetic. maybe he was trying to hold back abit as hes mjs friend.might have given some that impression?

tbh obviously im bias but hearing about mjs health issues his bad back, stress, chronic viltiligo in alans words etc kinda gave a human eliment to mj.and alan made it out that going to kliens was totally normal cause of mjs skin issues etc. takes away from the defence saying he just went there for demoral shots!
