Michael Jackson trial: Conrad Murray defence argues coroner 'mistakes'

Conrad Murray's defence team have accused the coroner's office investigator of making "substantial mistakes" following the death of Michael Jackson.

In the latest day of Murray's ongoing manslaughter trial in Los Angeles, investigator Elissa Fleak was called to the stand by Murray's lawyers.



Fleak identified pieces of evidence collected at the scene, and testified that Murray's medical records for Jackson did not include any information about the day he died or the three months before.

Murray's attorney Ed Chernoff focused on irregularities in Fleak's records. He noted that her first notes did not mention a propofol bottle in an IV bag, but her later notes did. She also apparently did not take a photograph of the bottle before removing it from the bag.

Chernoff also mentioned how Fleak had removed another bottle of medication before photographing it, and had left fingerprints on a syringe.

Prosecutor David Walgren later asked Fleak if she had ever completed a 'perfect' investigation, to which she answered that she hadn't.

On Wednesday, the jury heard more audio of Jackson talking to Murray in the weeks prior to his death.

The trial is scheduled to continue for another five weeks and Murray could face up to four years in prison if found guilty.
