The nurse, who worked for the king of pop music of Michael Jackson, gave on Tuesday the testimony in the court in the case of his death, saying that the famous singer two months before leaving her life literally begged her to give him a powerful sleeping pill, and when she refused to do this, she was fired, RIA Novosti reports with reference to the New York newspaper The Daily News .
The nurse Sherilin Lee was called on Tuesday as a witness to the court in Los Angeles with the defense of Konrad Murray, the personal doctor of the king of pop music. He is accused of unintentional murder, because, it is claimed, he gave the musician an excessive dose of propofol, which in interaction with other drugs, including sedatives, caused Jackson's death.
According to Sherilin Lee, the singer in April 2009 asked her to give a proportion under the commercial name "Diprivan".
“He looked at me and said:“ What I need is something that will help me fall asleep right now, and the only thing that helps me do this is “the wild,” the newspaper quoted the nurse quoted.
According to the publication, the nurse tried to explain to Jackson why it is not worth taking this potent medicine.
In response, as Sherilin Lee testified, the singer, referring to a large blockage of work, said: "I know this will be cut down as soon as he gets into Vienna."
Then it was her last visit to the house of Michael Jackson, the newspaper writes.
The defense hoped that the testimony of a nurse Sherilin Lee would convince the court that Michael Jackson was a complex patient who was deaf to the warnings of doctors about the dangers of strong anesthetics. However, the accusation, on the contrary, staged a nurse’s refusal in an example to prove the guilt of Murray. If this succeeds, he can get up to four years in prison and lose his doctor’s license.
Murray does not plead guilty, claiming that Jackson took the medicine in excess of the dose without his knowledge, which led to the death of the singer.
Michael Jackson died on June 25, 2009 at the 51st year of his life in Los Angeles.
Murray’s lawyers intend to invite only about 15 witnesses to the court. One of them Allan Metzger, who performed the day before, also admitted that he met with Jackson a month before his death and he asked him some strong sleeping pill. The doctor refused to prescribe Propofol to Jackson.
