Kai Chase - odd testimony

Other than this being odd ... I found the chef's testmony disturbing!

She described Conrad Murray being frantic ... yelling, large eyes etc etc ... obviously an emergency & she is requested by him to fetch SECURITY, HELP, PRINCE .... and in that emergency she called Prince to deal with it on his own as she returned to work.

That is disturbing!!!

Where was the HELP & SECURITY that she was requested to find too?

If I was the jury hearing this .... alarm bells would go off in my head as very odd!!

We all know Ms Kai is not resposible for MJ's demise .... but something with her testiment is not right for me.

If Prince went up immediately as she said .... before Alvarez arrived .... where was Prince when Alverez eventually arrived and saw Murray on the landing looking down?
 
Wow alot of ppl supporting the defence case here.cause u dont like kai? those commenting did u actually watch it cause you are misrepresenting alot of things

The important question to ask here is why Murray thought it appropriate to involve Kai Chase, a cook with no medical expertise whatsoever, in an emergency situation where his patient was on the verge of death (if not already dead) instead of calling 911/paramedics. The other question is in relation to Alvarez--why was he, and not Murray, the one to call 911? A security guard has more common sense than a medic?

The defence was trying to do to Chase what they tried to do with Alvarez--make them appear incompetent, when the fault does not lie in their field, but rather, in Murray's. Neither Chase nor Alvarez are medical experts--whatever they could tell 911 would be of secondary importance compared to the information Murray could have given them had he chosen to call the proper authorities instead of screwing around.

So, the testimony might seem odd in that she just chose to go back to work, but the oddest bit out of this entire situation is doubtlessly Murray's behaviour. An explanation for Chase's detachment could be that she did not know what to do and did not want to get in the way of those who had a better idea of what was happening, which explains why she merely followed Murray's instructions (get Prince) and returned to work.

The oddest thing to the lay man would be Murray's request for Prince. Why go fetch Prince instead of 911? What could Prince possibly do to help the situation? The answer--nothing, or everything, depending upon how you look at it. If what you are trying to do is save Michael Jackson's life, Prince's presence would prove utterly useless, indeed perhaps even counterproductive, to that endeavour.

However, if you're attempting to cover your tracks, Prince is your golden goose. He bears the importance simply in his position as Michael Jackson's son, and his age and lack of expertise in medical matters place him in such a position that he could theoretically be highly malleable to suit Murray's purpose. That is to say, if Prince sees Murray doing something, regardless of whether the procedure is correctly carried out or not (i.e. administering CPR), he would say he saw Murray doing "something" to help Michael--he would have no way of knowing what Murray's true intentions were, and no way to verify whether or not Murray's course of action was appropriate/effective.

The ultimate value, however, is in the fact that he's Michael's son. A jury is more likely to be sympathetic to the defendant if the victim's own son says he saw him "helping out", than if someone who is not as close to the victim said such a thing (or said anything to the contrary, for that matter).

Good post, thanks. You said my thoughts exactly.

She didn't need to know the details to see that the situation was serious, seeing Murray panicked (and yelling, HELLO) was a huge red flag and sending a child into that confusion wouldn't be and wasn't practicing common sense. I've dealt with intense emergency situations in my life and had to act immediately and logically, putting emotion aside. Of course, you wouldn't know that because it's easy for you to be hypocritical and "judge" me, but it's all good. Whatever helps you sleep better at night.

That was not something a child should've had to deal with as there were plenty of adults that were available to think of their well being and shielding them as much as possible from the chaos.

Kai isn't you, however. Just because you were able to think clear headed in an emergency doesn't mean everyone else does. For example, my mom goes into melt down if something bad happens and my grandmom screams. My brother tries to stay calm and help, but he usually doesn't know what he is doing so he lets people with experience take over if such a person is there. My dad is usually the one who takes over when something goes wrong, while I usually hang back, because I don't have the medical experience to be of any real help and I can actually be a burden. So yes, I have been in an emergency situation too, so I know the wide variety people react and there is no set pattern.

Also you still disregard the fact that there was a doctor in the house. Are you honestly going to tell me that in an emergency that you would try to overrule a doctor? If you did and that person is harm further or even dies because you interfered with a person with far more experience than you, what would you do?

Sorry, you're the one being hypocritical here.
 
I feel we need not to be dissecting people who are assisting with the prosecution of Conrad Murray.

Not everything has to make sense and fit into a neat little hole and looking in and looking back some might feel that things should have been handled differently.

But what happened happened and the person we need to be focussing our attention on is CONRAD MURRAY.

Interesting, I stumble back to this thread after Alberto states that Kai unlocked the door for him and Kai is now on the stand....

I see fans at the time were stating Kai does not have authority to unlock the door.. UM!!! now proven wrong I wonder what some fans would say. I mean too often fans think they are the authority of knowledge of everything surrounding Michael and state things as fact.. It would not bother me as much if the same fans did not attack tabloides for doing the same type of thing TOWARDS Michael.

We have to understand that we do not know everything about Michael and how things opporate, so we need to stop getting mad at everyone that says something different that what we believe.

I see it like this..

she got Prince as the dr told her to.. (she did not know what was upstairs at the time so she cant be faulted since she didnt know the true purpose)

Afterwords she prayed with them and went back to work (to me that shows to the children to keep faith, and by getting back to work shows the children stability and calms them)

Its proven that when something tramatic is going on, around children keep things as normal as possible so they can remain calm nd stable.. Im thankful they were around something as normal to regular proceedures as possible considering the circumstance. the LAST thing to do was to show a panic alertness which would only panic the children.. in my opinion in was responsible what she did considering what she knew and the order she knew what was going on.. she fallowed what she was told

You are aware she didn't know that Michael was in that position? Also Murray is a doctor, why would Kai questioned him? As far as she knew, Michael could had been hurt, but it wasn't so bad that Murray couldn't handle it himself and just needed extra help. After all, why would Murray call Prince if Michael was in mortal danger?

Really, it's easy for you to go and judge what she should or shouldn't had done because you know what happened. Kai didn't have that advantage on the day of question because she trusted Murray and had no reason to undermine him.

Alveraz testimony is when he arrived at the front door it was locked. Through the glass door he saw the nanny on the lower floor with Paris beside her while Murray on the upper floor with his hands on the railing looking down. The nanny then proceeded to open the door for Alveraz, who then raced up the stairs per instruction from Michael Amir who was still on the phone with Alvarez at that time.

Yesterday the defense were aggressive on Kai Chase and asked her why she called a 12yr old kid and what possible could a 12 yr old kid have done to help.

The defense should stop blame Kai for calling Prince because according to them 'what could possible a 12 yr old kid do to help'... well they should ask their OWN client that. Why did their client, Murray, ask for a 12 yr old kid in that situation?
 
^ I still cant belive murray asked that question to kai as it was murray who chose for prince to be called into room!

Exactly, they're trying to make Chase look bad for fetching Prince when she was just following Murray's orders. They tried to do the same with Alvarez, for the 911 call. Both cases, however, were Murray's own mistake. Murray should have called 911, not Alvarez, and Murray should have been calling the paramedics instead of talking to Michael's cook.
 
I think she was by far the weakest witness we've seen, but the purpose of her testimony was probably to demonstrate that Murray was in disarray, and standing at the top of the stairs yelling instead of 1. Helping Michael, and 2. calling 911. CLEARLY he had a working phone -- he'd been making multiple phone calls already. Another purpose was to humanize Michael to the jury by speaking about what a good father he was.

I don't really understand her behavior, but don't think it has much of anything to do with what happened that day. (of COURSE she could have gone to get security. It was CLEARLY an emergency, and Murray ASKED her to get them!) Sounds like she froze, did only one of the three things Murray asked her to do: "get help, get security, and get Prince." Some people are highly functional in a crisis, and some are not. She was not. But, that's irrelevant to the purpose of her testimony.
 
^Yes, she's by default the weakest only because of her profession and the fact that she chose (wisely, in my humblest of opinions) not to involve herself in such a sensitive situation--she would only serve to hinder progress had she chosen to involve herself, so I don't understand why some people are picking on her for it.

Anyway, her testimony is important to us because:

1) It shows Murray was wasting a lot of time contacting inappropriate people instead of calling the proper authorities--one ought to wonder why. In an emergency, the first reaction is to call 911, especially if you're a medic, it's part of the training: if an emergency arises, call 911/emergency services immediately, and try to keep the person under control/administer CPR if necessary until appropriate medical staff arrives. DO NOT abandon the person. Murray had a working cell phone on his person (firefighter/paramedic guy said so today--he said he witnessed Murray making or receiving a phone call from it, which means it was in full working order), why not call 911 and stay in the room instead of abandoning Michael and wasting time by contacting Chase and Alvarez?

2) She humanizes Michael in the eyes of the jury. It is important, especially in cases where the victim is deceased, to "bring him to life" for the jury to see. This person was not a dead body, he was not merely a victim of manslaughter, but a dedicated father and a talented musician, and the jury needs to see that. We understand that we are well aware of it, but the jury of our peers may not be as informed as we are on Michael's wonderful nature, which is why Kai's testimony is of unique relevance to us.

She won't be terribly useful in incriminating Murray (although she certainly does hold value in that department--especially with the order to summon Prince she received from Murray). However, from her testimony, it seems as though she had a good relationship with Michael's children, and with Michael himself, and most importantly--she got to observe him as a father and paint that portrait for the jury to see.
Her secondary importance is the fact that she was his cook, so her description of what he typically ate is important because it shows Michael was a fit and healthy guy. Why hire a cook to make nutritious food for you if you don't give a rat's ass about your health? The foods she described were very healthy, so it shows the jury that Michael was eating healthily on a daily basis. This compliments Ortega's testimony of Michael being generally healthy/energetic (with the exception of his email, and the incident on the night of the 18th), and the This is It footage they played for the court, which indeed shows Michael being healthy and energetic.

Never underestimate the relevance of even the most seemingly irrelevant person/thing/event. Even Murray's summon for Prince might seem extraneous/irrelevant to some, but it in fact holds great importance in piecing this entire thing together, and I've already said why.
 
Unless the house was on a Buckingham palace protocol, her reaction was anything but normal. In emergency situations you react fast, effectively and without second thoughts. Usually that's what saves lives. I can't fathom a person so stuck to her work routine that they wouldn't alter it on a matter of life or death.
 
^You might react that way, but others may not. There is no "standard" way for a lay person to react to emergencies. Medics, policemen, firefighters, etc. have extensive training in appropriately reacting to various types of emergencies, which is exactly what makes Murray's deviation from this standard set of procedures so damning. Chase, being a cook with no medical training whatsoever, is not held to such standards--therefore, although odd to some, her reaction could make perfect sense to her.

Therefore, focusing on Chase's reaction detracts from Murray's inappropriate/negligent course of action and thus further detracts from the point, which is exactly the kind of trap the defence wants the jury to fall into.
 
I think that, in terms of her reaction of going back to work after she summoned Prince, she may have felt it not her place to do otherwise. She was following instructions, and while internally she may have felt nervous, scared and worried (or all manner of emotions which we do not know about), first and foremost she was an employee. She was there to do as she was asked. In the swiftness of the situation she may well have thought that, given her role, it was most appropriate for her to return to her workstation until directed to take another course of action. Even though it is not the way all people would react in that situation, I think the focus should remain squarely on one person - and we know precisely who that is.
 
Maybe Kai Chase, didn't think at the moment, she had to do literally everything she was asked. To get all of them: Help, Security and Prince. Maybe her first reaction was: I was asked to get help: Security or Prince. I don't think she had time to think about the details: ""Well ... A 12 years old boy, can't help Murray, because he is too immature to be able to help. So, I'll go outside to call Security, because they are all full-grown men, able to help Murray. But wait!! To get help for what/who? I don't even know why he needs help. So, first I'll ask Murray why he needs help, and after I get an idea of ??what is happening, I decide who should I get....."" And so on.....
I think she just reacted to what Murray asked her, in seconds. I don't blame her, even if I would have liked her to react differently. I think it depends on each one of us, how we react in certain circumstances.
 
Maybe she didn't realised AT THAT MOMENT that something serious is goin' on? I remeber she mentioned that saw housekeeper crying and she came and asked: "What happened, Michael is sick?" or something like that. It suggested that besides that scene wuth Murray and Prince she didn't get the whole point of what happened in Michael's bedroom. Well maybe she thought Mike is just sick or some incident happened but there are people around him and it will be ok.
 
^^ That is what I think too. I think that the fact that Murray asked for Prince maybe made her feel like Michael needed help or was sick, and Murray wanted assistance, and prince would work because he is family. I don't think she could have imagined what really happened up there. If she would have I am sure she would have reacted differently... I think the same thing about the body guard who was putting bottles in the bag, I still think it is strange that he didn't call 911 first, but I don't think he believed he was hiding evidence and that is why he didn't say anything to police initially, he could have thought that Murray took those meds to the hospital, so it wasn't worth mentioning.
 
Honestly I think Alvarez who saw Michael with his own eyes and was in all the situation but prefer to listen to Murray and to help him instead calling 911 instantly, and Chase who absolutely didn't know what happened and wasn't involved in any deal with Michael personally except coocking for him - are the big difference. I think if Murray'd yell that Michael's dying or smth like that she wouldnt just come back to her work. And if i haven't missed smth, she didn't see him in a bad conditions before, right? How could she know the big tragedy happens? Murray misinformed all of them.

*EDIT
No i don't blame alvarez 'cuz his posible call most likely woulnt help Michael, and i think he was in shock and trust Murray at all, but i realy think his action and sircumctances and Chase's are different

@jilliebean: Agreed. Murray gave her zero details, so she had no way of determining simply from his commands what exactly was going on. I have no idea why some people are choosing to hyperfocus their scrutiny on Chase--she has virtually nothing to offer in that department, as it is not her job to react to medical emergencies (this job belongs to Murray, I would like to remind everyone who has forgotten this), and they're practically falling into the defence's trap by doing this.

The way Murray phrased his request was especially crafty, particularly for the situation at hand--the last thing he told her, ergo the last thing she would remember, was "get Prince." That's what he wanted her to do--Prince wouldn't be able to help, but he would be able to witness the scene and see Murray doing "something." He could therefore be used to Murray's advantage and in his defence, bearing importance in being Michael's son, yet having no expertise on how to handle emergencies due to his age and (like Chase) lack of medical training.

@Mariuana: Alvarez did the right thing. The doctor is the authority by default in medical emergencies such as this one, so Alvarez did the logical thing and listened to him. You and the people who are suspecting Chase are falling into the defence's only suitable strategy--that is, cast doubt into the intentions of people other than Murray who were present during that fateful and tragic day.

Edit: In that you are right. Their situations are very different in that regard, but nothing either could have done would have helped in the least at that point. Like you and I said, I think Michael was long dead before the 911 call was placed.

Let us not forget, Murray was the doctor in this situation--instead of calling for Chase and Alvarez, he should have been calling for 911/paramedics using the same phone he used to call his stripper girlfriend. Therefore, Murray alone holds the sole and ultimate responsibility for the events of June 25, 2009. NEVER forget that.

EDIT: Let us not forget that the paramedic said Michael was "cold to the touch" upon his arrival, which means he had to have been dead for a while. Therefore, it is not only possible but highly probable that Michael was already dead before Murray summoned for Alvarez, and before he commanded Chase to "get Prince." He was certainly dead by the time the 911 call was placed. Of course, Murray knew Michael was dead, so he was effectively wasting his time and attempting to involve as many other people as possible so as to muddy the waters and create the sort of confusion some seem to be falling into.

^^ No i'm not suspecting Chase or Alvarez, i think they are people who were in unusual circumctances and could misunderstood smth, trust Murray and at that moment didn't see the whole picture that we see now (or we try to see). I don't know what she told about it time ago, but i believe at that moment she didn't understand what happens at all. And just because of that she did what she usualy had to do - to go and work
 
It drove me NUTS when the lawyer was questioning her and he just didn't come right out and ask her WHY, of the 3 things that Murray told her to do, she ONLY did ONE of them (get Prince). She kept saying that she just "did what she was asked".......not true, she did only ONE of the things she was asked to do.

Why didn't he just ask her WHY, of the 3 things that Murray frantically told her to do (get help, get security, get Prince), she ONLY did ONE of those 3 things (got Prince)!!!?????

Why on earth would she have ONLY just "gotten Prince" but then went back to preparing lunch? If ANY human being in a case like this, sensed there was some kind of emergency going on (particularly when it was a DOCTOR who was making such a request), wouldn't you run and get security? Sure, maybe she wasn't able to phone them but she could have left the house and ran to where security was located, could she not have? The whole thing is fishy to me. Is she somehow on the side of Murray?

It just doesn't make sense to me. You have the personal doctor of a star like MJ looking frantic and instructing you to "get help, get security" and you just completely disregard this and carry on making lunch? Wouldn't it be common sense that something very serious/bad was going on such that the doctor was needing help? How could you just completely disregard this?

Why on earth didn't the defense lawyer come right out and ASK HER why she chose NOT to run and get help/security? So strange that that question wasn't asked.

It just doesn't make sense. So many things just don't make sense.

That essentially sums it up for me.

I too feel that Michael had passed long before Alvarez got up there (and certainly before the 911 call), but I prefer not to discuss that matter further for reasons of emotional preservation. Whatever reactions those in the house may have had, the focus lies squarely on Murray.

You know what really doesn't make sense? You have the personal doctor of a star like MJ "looking frantic" and instructing a cook to get "help" (in the form of security staff with no medical training/a 12 year old boy) instead of using his fully working cell phone to call 911/paramedics, far more appropriate help than anything Chase could have gotten.

Wouldn't it be common sense, if something very serious/bad was going on, such as the patient very evidently not displaying any signs of life, to call 911/paramedics immediately and NOT abandon the patient under any circumstances, continuing to care for him until EMT/paramedics arrive, as is standard procedure in emergency response training as per the American Red Cross?

The defence have tried pinning the blame on both Alvarez and Chase thus far, they have insinuated it because it is the only suitable tactic they can use in such a difficult case (for them). However, the huge fallacy in this approach lies in the fact that neither Chase nor Alvarez are medics, therefore their response to medical emergencies cannot be held to the same standard as Murray's, who is a medic and therefore by default the authority in a medical emergency. By following Murray's orders and removing herself from a situation to which she very obviously had nothing to contribute to, Chase was abiding to standard procedure. Alvarez, by listening to what Murray had to say, was also being "good faith" in his approach.

The only one who acted inappropriately was the man in charge, the doctor, Conrad Murray.

How is she on Murray's side? Her testimony proved to be disastrous for the defence, which is why the defence attorney was trying to cast doubt upon her words. Her testimony further accentuates Murray's utter incompetence in three simple steps:

1) He sought her out, thus abandoning Michael's unresponsive body in the process.
2) He asked her to get help (security with no medical training, a 12 year old) instead of phoning the proper authorities himself with his fully working cell phone. The emergency in his pants at 11:51 A.M. (he called his girlfriend at this time, according to CBS news) was more important to him than the medical emergency his patient was undergoing, evidently.
3) He was wasting his time and highly deviating from appropriate medical response tactics, seeking out inappropriate resources, and -again- leaving his critically unresponsive patient UNATTENDED while he fooled around, which leads me to think he knew Michael had passed.

I guess I should have better explained what I meant when I suggested or asked if maybe she was on Murray's side. I meant that maybe she intentionally did not 'get help' or 'get security' because she was helping him to "buy time" so that by the time help (be it bodyguards, security, paramedics, etc) did arrive, time would have passed because she didn't help and there was a resultant delay; thereby helping him to explain why MJ was 'cool to the touch' -- he could allege that he'd directed someone to get help but they didn't bother to do so. I know it doesn't explain why he didn't contact 911 himself.............except that I think we know full well why, because MJ had been dead for some time already (but how long we don't really know?)

I wonder if the reason he asked her to get Prince was because perhaps Prince had previously gone upstairs and had seen his Dad lying there and was understandably upset.........or maybe they had closed the bedroom door and wouldn't let Prince in.....and Murray was then trying to do 'damage control' by asking to see Prince so that he could "explain" things according to his version.

TO ADD: I wonder if the reason that Murray didn't disclose that MJ had been given Propofol was because he didn't think it would be discovered (which is why he hid the empty bottles). I say this because I'm not sure when they do toxicology testing on someone who's died in a suspicious manner, that they test for ever possible medication under the sun. I would imagine that Propofol wouldn't have been something they'd maybe have detected except they'd found the vials and then knew to test for it. Obviously he didn't want to get busted for having administered it as he did so likely thought he'd just keep quiet and nobody would ever know the truth; they'd only know about the Lorazepam and he could easily say that MJ just took too many of these so not his fault.

^I don't see how helping Murray would be to Chase's benefit, especially since he told her nothing of what was really going on. Her testimony also does not appear to be helping Murray's case--at all--which is why defence is trying to discredit her.

As for Prince, I suspect Murray called for him because he would be a good (unintentional) ally to have should the day come when people question his actions regarding June 25, 2009. Prince would be important in that he is the deceased's son, therefore he is considered to be "close" to the deceased, and if Prince said he saw Murray doing something to help Michael (Prince would have no way of determining whether Murray's actions were useful/effective/appropriate), his testimony would carry more weight than a contradicting testimony from another party, even if the latter were to be more informed on medical affairs.

Thus, the importance of Prince.
