STORYLINE:
The Jackson family arrived at a Los Angeles courthouse as opening statements began in the trial of the doctor accused of culpability for the death of Michael Jackson due to an overdose of the powerful anaesthetic propofol.
Prosecutors opened the trial of the doctor by playing an audio recording of the pop superstar slurring his words and talking about his upcoming concerts.
Prosecutor David Walgren told jurors the audio was retrieved from Dr. Conrad Murray''''s cell phone. Murray has pleaded not guilty to involuntary manslaughter.
Jackson''''s voice was unrecognisable on the recording. He was speaking slowly and Walgren described the singer as highly under the influence during the conversation.
It was the first time the audio was disclosed or played in public.
Walgren used the audio to bolster his point that Murray should have known better than to continue giving Jackson the powerful anaesthetic propofol, which was cited as a cause of Jackson''''s death.
Walgren also provided details on shipments of propofol sent to Murray, saying the physician was sent more than four gallons of the anaesthetic in the time he worked for Jackson.
The doctor had initially requested five (m) million dollars to work for the singer for a year, but accepted the lower rate of $150,000 a month, Walgren said. His contract to be Jackson''''s personal physician was never signed and he was never paid.
Prosecutors plan to play a recording of the physician''''s interview with police conducted two days after Jackson''''s death, when he revealed that he had been giving the entertainer the anaesthetic propofol as a sleep aid.
The disclosure led to Murray being charged in February 2010 and nearly 20 months of legal wrangling over how the trial will be conducted.
