Audio recording of Michael Jackson's slurred speech played at Murray trial.
- 13 years ago
An audio recording of Michael Jackson's slurred speech was played in court Wednesday (October 05), at Dr. Conrad Murray's trial for involuntary manslaughter in Los Angeles.
The recording, which lasts about four minutes long, was recorded on May 10, 2009, just over one month before Jackson's death at age 50 on June 25, 2009.
Portions of the recording were played during opening statements for the prosecution on September 27. It was admitted into evidence Wednesday through testimony by Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Computer Forensics Examiner.
In the recording, a partly unintelligible Jackson seems to be heavily drugged, slurring his words while talking with Murray, saying he wanted to dedicate his "This Is It" concerts to his children because he felt he didn't have a childhood.
Testimony on Wednesday also included LA County Coroner investigator Elissa Fleak, who testified that she took the photo of a deceased Michael Jackson on the day of his death June 25th.
The Conrad Murray trial is expected to last the month of October.
