On the second day of the Conrad Murray trial on Wednesday (September 28), Kathy Jorrie, a lawyer for AEG, told the court that the Dr. Murray had requested that a CPR machine be available to him at Michael Jackson's concerts in London.<br/> The CPR machine was just one of a laundry list of items Murray requested in his contract - which included a 150,000 dollar a month salary.<br/> But it was the CPR machine that struck Jorrie as unique.<br/> SOUNDBITE Attorney Kathy Jorrie, saying (English):<br/> "I wanted to make sure that Michael Jackson was healthy and that he didn't have a heart condition, and so I was just drilling the doctor about that to find out, well, 'why would you need a CPR machine'."<br/> Later in the day, the 12 -member jury heard from Jackson's personal assistant, Michael Williams.<br/> He testified that hours after Jackson's death, Murray wanted to return to the singer's house.<br/> SOUNDBITE Jackson personal assistant Michael Williams saying (English):<br/> "Well, we were making small talk about how horrible this is, and the both of us, we had, were tearing, and he asked, he said that 'there's some cream in Michael's room, or house, big room, that he wouldn't want the world to know about, and he requested that I or someone give him a ride back to the house to get it, so the world wouldn't know about the 'cream'."<br/> The most compelling testimony of the day though came from Faheem Muhammad, the ex-chief of Jackson's security team, who testified that Jackson's oldest children reacted in horror when they saw their father's lifeless body.<br/> SOUNDBITE Jackson bodyguard Faheem Muhammad, saying (English);<br/> "Yes, Paris was on the ground, balled up crying, and Prince was just, he was standing there, and he was just, he just had a real shock, just slowly crying, had a look on his face."<br/> Murray has pleaded not guilty to the involuntary manslaughter of Jackson on June 25, 2009, but faces a prison sentence of up to four years if jurors find he is ultimately responsible for the pop star's death due to inadequate care.<br/> The trial is expected to last four to six weeks.<br/> John Russell, Reuters.
