Witness: Murray had propofol shipped to home
- 13 years ago
On day six of the Conrad Murray trial, Murray's girlfriend testifies Michael Jackson's former doctor had the powerful anesthetic propofol sent to her home.
Nicole Alvarez - lived with Murray in the spring of 2009 while he was caring for Jackson. She said she received packages from a pharmacy in Las Vegas, but did not know what they contained.
SOUNDBITE: Prosecutor off camera asking:
"Do you recognize this FedEx receipt dated February 8, 2009. It also has your address and your name and Conrad Murray's?"
SOUNDBITE: Witness Nicole Alvarez
"Yes."
Last week, prosecutors told jurors Murray received 255 vials of propofol - or more than 4 gallons - of the powerful substance at Alvarez's apartment.
On Tuesday, Tim Lopez - the former owner of Applied Pharmacy in Las Vegas - testified he sent propofol to the girlfriend's apartment - after Murray told him it was the address for his California medical office.
Authorities have said Murray - who had practices in Texas and Nevada - did not have a medical office in California.
The prosecution also called to the stand three other women - who either spoke on the phone with Murray or texted him on the day Jackson died.
Murray is on trial for the involuntary manslaughter of the late singer - who died after receiving a lethal dose of propofol.
Murray admits administering the drug as sleep aid, but denies responsibility for Jackson's death.
Murray faces up to four years in prison if convicted.
