Yeah he is but i hardly doubt it helps the defence case. not when the otherside makrs their points each such an easy to understand why.
and thats why u shouldnt watch tmz.ridiculous logicIm watching TMZ Live nowThey are talking about why June 25th was so different from all other nights? They think it was the other drugs (Loraz, Midazaolam etc that maybe killed Michael)and according to them, here is the problem because the coronoer said PROPOFOL killed him and as soon as the jury starts speculating of maybe it was the other drugs that killed him then there are reasonable doubt

u understand its a criminal trial not malpractice? yes he does. you dont charge for testifying. going on about not liking the other dr in the case he mentioned to walgren so shaffer didnt charge for his services. chernoff saying you only testifyed once in 10 years so not charging doesnt make that much diff as u didnt charge cause you didnt like katz. hes been involved in many cases giving expert advice but just testifyed in the one.chernoff was trying to confuse shaffer on whether he testifyed in mal paractice cases or criminal ones
now trying to say white was his teacher. no. he went to stamford and white was a teacher there but he wasnt his teacher.
1988 3 papers shaffer did with lots of diff drs including dr white he did computer programing from that paper.
going through shaffers C.V talking about shaffer and his wife asking white about a residency programe in 1978. cause of that he went to another uni. doing anesthesia after that they went back to stamford in 86. during that time they did research on the paper that was released in 88. b4 86 his wife worked with white he worked with another dr. .
in the 88 paper white created the data was complied for what purpose? to demonstrate continuas infusion provide mathmatical models. shaffer and his wife did the mathamatical models. in 88 was infusion of diprivan not being used? he thinks it wasnt common. mainly used for induction not maintaince.
trying to imply shaffers lieing about his history with white
he was injecting almost 20ml each time BASED ON HIS WEIGHT an average dose.
Surely there's no doubt whatsoever that Murray gave all that stuff which combined caused Michael's death, he admitted as much in his police statement. He also admitted leaving Michael alone (probably a hell of a lot more than 2 minutes though) so logically it should be a clear cut thing to find him guilty? Even if MJ did self administer it doesn't alter the fact of gross misconduct on his part.
Yes, I wondered where a lot of this was going...around the Prop bottle and the bag...noting the demo Prop bottle was a different size and Shafer hadn't seen the actual size of the cut in the bag...implying the actual bottle might not fit through the cut....but since the bottle was found IN the bag, I'm not sure why he went there (it had to fit if it was found inside the bag...)....A very puzzling Cross exam. (But yes, I agree Ivy's point ^ about the defence strategy is very likely ^)
I wonder if they will mention how the cut in the bag was made...there was a large knife on the nightstand, I seem to recall.
which would be 16 mL based on michael's weight at 2.5 mg/kg, still not possible.
besides, this is not a "study", it is a case report from 2001 where the authors (doctors? ph.ds? toxicologists? undergrads?) make their best guess based on their clinical expertise and the evidence as to what happened. so it's basically an antecdote. there was a compltely different situation than michael's case, so i don't see how anything in this case report is applicable.
drs shafer and white are doing/are going to use their clinical expertise to come up with their plausible scenerios with michael's case, based on the evidence. i don't know why you keep bringing up this paper, when we have expert testimony to listen to (none of the authors of this paper are experts on propofol, this is the only paper any of them ever wrote on the subject)
p.s. i finally found the article to prove it was published by searching for the authors, the full text is available (at least to me) by clicking on the springerlink icon in the upper right corner: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11355404
i'm done with this.
Good question, I guess it's a strategy, Walgren has more info than we have. Maybe Walgren had anticipated it, and was pointing out how desperate the defense is, and the big deal the defense is making with that vented tube.Excellnt points ivy and bouee. totally agree. i wonder though why did walgren bring up the clamp theory. because as u say if the defence went that way that would mean admitting there was an iv. so why did walgren even bring it up and put it in the
jurrors minds
I liked how Dr Shafer said something like what else was he to do because there were NO medical records.Concerned me abit aswell how shaffer mentioned 80 days of benzos and chernoff was like when did murray ever say that. and once again said to shaffer thats another assumption of yours
My only concern re the missing iv is if u have a jurror thats of the opinion that if u cant physically produce the missing i.v line then im abit concerend about saying yes this is what happened. of course theres lots of other evidence that supports the iv been used and u have the testimony of murray hiding other evidence so its certainly believable that murray took the iv line. but u just try to look at all angles cause u can see the defence doing an oj interms of the glove not fitting ie there was no iv line found

no doubt the defence stratergy is to discredit the iv line as thats the core of the pros case. Hence why wr havr the attacks on alberto fleak and the obsession over the iv yesterday not been the same model etc
I was glad Chernoff asked that, because now we have 3 doctors (Steinberg, Kamangar, and Shafer) metionning benzos. I was hoping to hear "hair tox results", but Dr Shafer said he based this on Murray's interview, and Chernoff didn't let him check Murray's interview. Dr Shafer also said that it made sense with the empty lorazepam vial found. There was 40mg in that vial.Concerned me abit aswell how shaffer mentioned 80 days of benzos and chernoff was like when did murray ever say that. and once again said to shaffer thats another assumption of yours
True but like i think bouee said its like chernoff is turning the wrong that murray did in having no records and trying to use that to defend murray by accusing shaffer of making assumptions and not basing his theories on facts. when shaffer cant because of murrays
actions . i hope walgren drills that point home on redirect and that shaffer isnt just making assumptions for the sake of it
Showing that there had to be a spike, because of the tear in the propofol bottle. Then if there was a spike, there was a vented tube. The saline tube was not vented, had no propofol in it. So there was another tube, and it's gone.My only concern re the missing iv is if u have a jurror thats of the opinion that if u cant physically produce the missing i.v line then im abit concerend about saying yes this is what happened. of course theres lots of other evidence that supports the iv been used and u have the testimony of murray hiding other evidence so its certainly believable that murray took the iv line. but u just try to look at all angles cause u can see the defence doing an oj interms of the glove not fitting ie there was no iv line found
IV tubing went into one of those big pockets in the Cargo pants Murray was wearing that day, and then into a dumpster behind Baby-Mom's apartment complex?
