To prove that Michael Jackson was happy, energetic and excited for the future and not looking to take his own life, the district attorney has requested the rehearsal video footage, filmed days before Jackson’s untimely passing, to be used as evidence against Dr. Conrad Murray.
The footage will counter-argue Dr. Murray's defense team, who suggested Michael Jackson may have purposefully overdosed on powerful anaesthetic Propofol.
In motions filed on Tuesday, they requested to use video clippings from the Jackson concert movie, “This Is It,” to prove the singer was in an excellent health, busy in scheduling his concert tour and had all the reasons to live.
They say this would disagree with defense asserts that Jackson took his own life.
Prosecutors also wish to use partial autopsy images of Jackson to verify that although thin, he was in brilliant health. They say the images would not be grisly. Defense lawyers say the images would provoke the jury’s emotions.
Murray has appealed not being culpable. Jury choice continues May 4 and motions are to be discussed on Thursday. The trial is scheduled to begin next month - May11.
