Murray's manslaughter charge hangs on voicemail evidence

As far as "Bob" is concerned, I have no interest, really, in what media have to say about that call one way or another. Instead, I'm assuming the call is genuine (certainly SOUNDS like Murray), and am going off of what I hear, only. And the timing of the call. If that is accurate? But even if made at any time that day, it's extemely strange, given that Murray had left his practice six weeks before, to care for only one patient.

I am as confused as you are about this.."Bob".....I find articles saying his name is "Bob Russell".......It just seems very odd that Murray pick this particular time and day to call "Bob"...also in which state does Bob live???,,,If Murray had a license to practice in 3 states...Bob...could live in anyone of them.....I think this phone call was a sign to someone of..ok..the job is done..
 
MJ died before those phone calls were made , and Murray knew that very well .
tbh i wouldnt be surprised if he injected and then didnt even notice what had happened cause he was sat on the phone yacking and only noticed later when he was on the phone ot his G/F. but becasue he wanted to keep the phonecalls quiet he created a different story as to how he found mj (the toliet break story). but because of the phonecall info being revealed he then had to go back to the orginal story. but now because of the blood concentration hes gonna have to change the timeline again. hes told so many lies to cover up things hes lost track of whats the truth and what and why he created his first story in the first place. even his lawyers are giving diff stories. first one says the police made it up./wrote it down wrong about the times.now they claim it was infact murrays fault and he did give those times but got it wrong himself. which one is it
 
If Murray was on the phone from 11.18am onwards, he will no doubt have an excuse that he was in the room watching MJ at the time.....BUT if MJ couldn't sleep how is talking on the phone next to him going to help him sleep?? It would disturb him even more, so he couldn't have been in the room.
 
I first heard about Bob and 2 other patients of Murray's on Dateline. I had no idea that the voicemail was out there but I may have missed it on the boards ( other ppl here can maybe tell us when it was first released, did Dateline actually hunt it down or was it out there already?)
So this guy along with 2 others come on Tv and say that Murray is a great doctor and saved their lives and they would still trust him. The timeline doesn't match but these guys are probably brought on by the defense to try to sway the public opinion.

There's probably no code in the message, but I wonder if he says he MAY take a sabbatical because he wasn't sure he would get the job ( since nobody had paid him anything) or because if he knew there might not BE a tour, depending on what happened to Mike.
Either way it's weird.
 
The phonecalls Murray made from 11.18am onwards.....are they fact or from the media?
 
Thanks. So unless Murray says the police made another mistake, when will he say he gave Michael propofol? Hmmmm and he can't have been in the room on the phone as well as this would disturb Michael who was trying to sleep.
 
You're welcome. Yes, first it was "police theory" according to Murray's lawyers, now , after the coroner's report was made public, still according to his lawyers, Murray made mistakes when he talked to the LAPD.

I really don't know what he can say now...he has to change his timeline, but I can't think of anything that would fit.
 
Just contact this Bob, Bob Russel or whatever, and check his records, and find out if he really took an EECP.

If he did, I still think this may have been a code.

Was that Bob's number he really called?

If a death such as this is planned in advance by such a large group of people who have been planning this for years as you have said, the simple way of telling someone information is to buy another cell phone just for that purpose and throw it away after the job is complete.

Not to be stupid enough to use your own cell phone and call some person and give a message in code.

I think after Michael passed, Murray was in disarray. The most famous person in the world had died under his care, somehow. There could have been HOURS between the time Michael died and Murray called 911. We still don't know the "official" TOD. I think he panicked. Tried to clean some things up. Flushed out ONE of the I.V lines, but didn't get all of the propofol out of there? Someone turned up the fireplaces. .. . . We don't know what he did or did not "throw away," or what his mental state was. He didn't mention the propofol to the EMTS or at the hospital, that we've ever heard. That was a critical piece of information!

Was he "supposed to throw a phone away?" We have NO way of knowing. His behavior was of a very panicked man.
 
My opinion I have to take it there… this is just my thoughts I just can't get this out of my head so i had to write it out...

Dr.M knew Michael was dead a few hours before some damn phone call I personally feel in my heart Michael Died early in the morning and these losers just felt like oh well he sleeping this fool goes back in the room a few hours later only to see MJ lying there breathless we all heard the 911 phone call you actually hear the other dude who was present saying to the 911 operator he not breathing??? So what does this means he dead… in a frantic lets rush him to the hospital and let them pronounce his death there don’t want this penned on us.

Now Michael leaves the staples center on his way home to change clothes get ready for the rest of June 25, 2009 Back track:>> according to news reports he left around 12:30am on some where around this time! the early morning of June 25,2009 Dr.M arrives lets say a little after 1 am Michael still having hard time sleeping according to reports he suffered from insomnia back track that powerful thing called “Milk” helps him sleep>>back track

Dr.M is “supportable” to be an heart doctor called A cardiologist ( now that we know he not the real deal) OK finally he gives Michael the fatal injection knowing how much he was suppose to give him he goes a little over the limited not caring not thinking just going on leaves the room for a few hours as he gone Michael in a deep sleep with turns into a deep coma he can’t scream help to no one cause he is out of it body can’t take this powerful stuff plus Dr.M knew MJ had lupus>>back track he had to know MJ medical history reports stated that Michael was healthy and always like to be clean. I’m sure Dr. Arnie K told him sense Dr. M supposedly called him too? So on that nice summer morning when Dr. M walks into the room in a frantic scare he phones the rest of the “killers”. the world stood still the after noon of June 25, 2009. Back Track MJ fired a few people out of know where they are back? He warn few people he was going to be killed? Afraid of his life? All these un answered questions. They want us to believe he was a addict? What addict you know of or heard about ever had a autopsy report saying the person was healthy? Michael knew of the Medication he was taking and he knew how to clean out his system without any medications damaging his organs he rightfully aware of his health and what to eat and not to eat >>back track his cook spoke out about it.. I rest my case
 
I hope the LAPD have checked into this. I'm not asserting that this was a "coded message," nor would I assert that because I don't KNOW. There's a pretty easy way to find out, though, if the police investigate that far. The key is not so much about Murray's phone records (in terms of that call), but in "Bob's!" What do his phone records show? Did he get Murray's message, kick back and pop the top on a beer and contact no one for hours? Or does his own phone show an immediate call soon after, and if so, to whom? If it does, was it to his sister in North Dakota (or wherever)? Then, fine. If to someone else, maybe not so fine. The answer is in "BOB's" phone records.

And it shouldn't be hard to contact Bob. Just ask Murray. Doctor's have contacts to their patients.

Well, he didn't actually flush the Propofol out of the line. What he did was give Flumazenil in that line. They only traced the Propofol because there was probably some left because of the type of drug it is. What he did was remove the entire line and put it in his bag.

Mentioning the Propofol at the hospital or to the EMS would not have changed the outcome at all. No doubt though he didn't want to make a point of mentioning this drug.

Seriously, after reading the autopsy report it didn't look like he was dead for all that long before they brought him to the hospital but if someone here is a forensic pathologist please speak up!!

Regarding the Lupus connection. There isn't one. This did not happen because of any Lupus he had. They didn't say that in the autopsy that there was any connection with his lungs. Also, I read more than once that Michael was always 'cold' and even on stage wore jackets because he was always cold. I find it odd that Murray would want the fireplace on because it would speed up rigor mortis and that would not benefit him in any way.

You're right about what he did or did not throw away and unless they checked garbage cans, we don't know. A Propofol IV bag was not among the things found. I have my own suspicions about that.
 
Yeah, that's what I am worried about. The fact that the police might not have checked the trash, or indeed attend the scene until hours later.

Well, this was talked about early on. They didn't secure the crime scene and they should have.

Even the oxygen tank being empty means nothing after checking it days later. I could well have been full and left on. I can't imagine anyone turning it 'off' during an emergency situation.

Yeah, I know it was, but it still worries me.

About the oxygen-I think it was disconnected from its mask when they found it....I can't imagine someone taking the time to disconnect it during an emergency. Do you know if the report says if they found the tank's valve open?

No, the report (I think it was the autopsy if I'm not mistaken) said empty oxygen cylinder. It made no other claim. From working with oxygen tanks over the years though, I can not say that 2 or 3 days later when it was checked being found empty would surprise me at all.
 
Someone from This Is It said on the red carpet of the premiere about the day of MJs death -

'I looked at TMZ and all the news got worse and worse, I called Kenny Ortega and said we're supposed to be at rehearsal at 4, what's going on? He said 'don't worry don't believe anything you hear, I just talked to Michael's doctor...'
Kenny spoke with Michael's doctor at that time, when all this was happening and not only that, he was told everything was ok?!

This is the very FIRST I am hearing this.

Isn't it possible Kenny didn't want to upset everyone and didn't know the story? That doesn't seem to make sense. Why on earth would Murray talk to anyone after that?
 
Mr Murray really should have the title of Doctor removed from his name
either way--intentonal or unintentional==a does not administer that kind of medicine without constant supervision,,
what a shame to the medical profession,,
 
If he did not turn the fireplaces on , the coroner would have been able to determine when MJ died based on rigor mortis .

It is known among forensic scientists when the temperature is so high or so low , you can no longer depend on rigor mortis to determine a time of death . That was Murray's point , to make whatever conclusion the coroner reached less credible .

Well, this was talked about early on. They didn't secure the crime scene and they should have.

Alvarez was there in that room , he would testify whether he saw any IV attached to MJ , he would testify whether there was any IV bags or IV tubes there . Also the paramedics were there , they will testify to what they saw .

Yeah you might suggest someone framed murray and put everything in his bag , for what reason ? He was clearly the one giving it , he admitted he gave it , he clearly CLEANED the scene , he told them where to find the bottles , and as you always remind us he talked with them for three hours , he was probably asked why he felt he had to remove everything from the room , and he probably gave a screwed up explanation as usual.

No, Murray would not be able to blame the police , he was the one who tampered with the evidence , he can't claim others did it , and the police did not secure the scene . the police did their job , he told them he gave him only lorazepam , they came they only discovered PILLS . They did find flumazenil , he made sure it was there infront of them , but it would be interesting to know where did they find the empty propofol bottle. I have no doubt Murray did not notice it, it was a mistake like the beads , we shall see where exactly it was found .

remember the syringe with traces of propofol lidocaine and flumazenil was the last syringe he used to give propofol , and it was found in his bag . so clearly he had no intention to tell them he gave propofol .

Well, Rigor Mortis is FASTER in warmth. Most processes are accelerated so I don't think this would benefit him in any way.

It is my opinion, if he tried to cover things up, he removed them way before anyone was called into the room.

Have I missed a post where someone says he was framed? I certainly never said or thought that ever. He knew where the bag was.

I am also sure he was not going to mention the Propofol at first. I just wonder why Nurse Lee was so quick to jump out in front of the news cameras and state her case. It also interests me that in the search warrants she told them she told him to eat well and gave a protein drink?

She gives her vitamins by IV. Vitamins are usually yellow in color. Just curious as to why she did that. Just my mind 'thinking' here. Probably means absolutely nothing.

I will PM you the video as the context of it is probably not welcome here.
 
Thank you Rockin. After watching the video, Yes, it says that but it is second hand information. "Kenny Said". I don't know what to make of it. It doesn't say he spoke to "Dr. Murray", so who knows? Again, I think damage control. He didn't want anyone to panic? Don't know.

Yeh but he says 'Michael's doctor' .. Tohme isn't a medical doctor I don't think, and I don't think he should have been around anyway as Michael had dismissed him. Yeh I don't know, possibly to stop people worrying KO lied, but would he? I don't know, anyway I was like this - :bugeyed - when I heard that.

Yes. There is no ONE, fact here that leads to a definitive conclusion. But, there are a number of facts that form a pattern. It would seem that Murray was trying to confuse the coroner.

It is known among forensic scientists when the temperature is so high or so low , you can no longer depend on rigor mortis to determine a time of death . That was Murray's point , to make whatever conclusion the coroner reached less credible .

Yes, that is likely.

Alvarez might be the key to a lot of things. He'd worked for Michael for a long time. He may have had genuine caring for him. I do know that he tried, several times to talk to police, and they would not talk to him. (there are links. I'm tired now, though. Someone else can look them up if you want?)

There is so much we do not know. I have no facts about whether Murray was or was not "framed," and neither does anyone else here. The crime-scene was not secured until that evening, which amounts to no crime-scene at all? Therefore, the "evidence" is largely circumstantial. In terms of FACTS, we do not really know WHO "cleaned up the crime-scene." We can assume that it was Murray, but we really do not know.

No, Murray would not be able to blame the police , he was the one who tampered with the evidence , he can't claim others did it , and the police did not secure the scene . the police did their job , he told them he gave him only lorazepam , they came they only discovered PILLS .

I have no doubt Murray did not notice it, it was a mistake like the beads , we shall see where exactly it was found .

See above. We don't really know who cleaned up the crime-scene. There are a multitude of people who could have come and gone. Because of that, regardless of how much we discuss it, the physical evidence is likely not admissible in court, or at least, it can be questioned? The LAPD should have secured the crime-scene immediately, but they did not.

remember the syringe with traces of propofol lidocaine and flumazenil was the last syringe he used to give propofol , and it was found in his bag . so clearly he had no intention to tell them he gave propofol .

Right. He omitted that critical fact. He did not tell the EMTs that he had given propofol. That was absolutely important, and he did not say it

As this thread goes on, and on, I want to go on record here to say that I do not ACCUSE anyone, nor have I ever accused anyone in particular. I simply ask questions, because none of us know what really happened. There is so much that makes no sense. Did Murray act alone? That seems likely given what we know now. Am I SURE of this? NO. I am not. None of us are sure of that.

If the truth, whatever it is, is ever to be known, I don't think it will be from what or what was not found in this or that I.V. tube. It will come from witnesses. Alvarez? Maybe. Prince? Maybe. Others? Maybe. The truth, whatever it is, will come from PEOPLE. We should never discount the love that so many had for Michael. He lived in a houseful of PEOPLE, and it is these people who will bring us resolution. I certainly hope so.

Where are the security tapes from that fateful day? Are they truly GONE?

His point was not whether it accelerated it or not , he wanted to keep him WARM , so no one would believe he was dead for along time , and when the time came for the coroner to determine a time of death , any conclusion he would have reached would be challenged successfully by bringing an expert who would testify the coroner made an estimation that lacked scientific standards and because of high temperature there's reasonable doubt . the main point was to keep him warm and everything else would be dealt with later by expert's testimony .

propofol was give for a short period of time prior to death, that's clear from the urine concentration , he claims he found him while he was talking to his girlfriend, the search warrant stated he was CONSTANTLY on the phone for 47 minutes , so either you believe he gave it during that time line , which means MJ was already SLEEP ad Murray lied about that fact , I doubt murray talked on the phone while MJ was waiting to be injected with propofol . or he gave it before he made the calls which means MJ died at 11 am .

we have many doctors who confirmed MJ suffered from dehydration and treated it by using IV fluids , even Murray was there giving him IV fluids , the bag was there for that reason , Lee did exactly that , there was nothing odd about her .
