麥可猝逝 醫師涉過失殺人開審

【新唐人2011年9月28日訊】(中央社洛杉磯27日綜合外電報導)美國流行樂天王邁克爾·桀克遜的醫師莫瑞涉嫌過失殺人案今天開審,在審判一開始播放的錄音中,顯然用藥過度的麥可以含糊不清的聲音與莫瑞(Conrad Murray)通話。

邁克爾(Michael Jackson)在2009年死前一個半月前的這通電話中,以十分含糊不清的聲音討論他對倫敦東山再起演唱會的期望。

邁克爾以低沉的聲音表示:「我希望歌迷從會場離開時,會說『我一輩子從沒聽過這麼棒的演唱會』。我們一定要很棒很棒。」

在這宗預料將持續5周的審判第一天,庭上也展示邁克爾躺在醫院輪床上、覆蓋白布的遺體照片。

莫瑞被控在邁克爾2009年6月25日逝世前兩個多月裡,每晚都給麥可服用過量的強力鎮定劑異丙酚(propofol)。

檢察官華格倫(David Wagren)在開庭陳述中說,這通2009年5月10日的電話交談,顯示莫瑞「明顯的在觀察,可能在傾聽,但把它錄到他的iPhone裡」。

華格倫表示,這項證據顯示莫瑞知道「他在2009年5月,即邁克爾死前一個半月時對他做了什麼,邁克爾就是因為這項治療而死」。

不過莫瑞的律師表示,邁克爾是因為自己服過量的藥致死。

莫瑞對過失殺人的指控不認罪,不過如果陪審團最終認為他因照護不當,應為邁克爾的死負責,他將面臨長達4年刑期。(譯者:中央社陳政一)

In another haunting moment on the first day of what is expected to be five-week trial, the court was also shown a picture of Jackson’s deadbody, draped in white on a hospital gurney. Murray is accused of administering an overdose of the powerful sedative propofol to Jackson on a nightly basis for over two months before his death on June 25, 2009. Jackson died in Los Angeles, where he was rehearsing for the “This is It" series of comeback concerts scheduled to take place in the O2 Arena in London later that year. Making his opening statement, prosecutor David Walgren said the phone conversation from May 10, 2009 showed Murray “evidently observing,maybe listening but recording on his iPhone." Inthe deeply slurred voice, Jackson adds in the recording: “When people leave this show, when people leave my show, I want them to say, ‘I’ve never seen nothing like this in my life. Go. Go.I’ve never seen nothing like this. “‘Go. It’s amazing. He’s the greatest entertainer in the world,'" he adds in the recording — made intelligible thanks to a transcript displayed inthe court. What this evidence showed was Murray’s knowledge of what “he is doing to Michael Jackson in May 2009, over a month and a half before Michael died as a result of this very treatment," said the prosecutor. Walgren said that days after Murray made the recording on his iPhone, he ordered an additional massive batch of propofol and the anti-anxiety drug midazolam despite Jackson’s condition. Some 15.5liters of propofol was ordered by Murray, the prosecutor said. The picture of Jackson’s dead body — in which he is lying on his back, with apiece of tape apparently across his face — is thought to be one of the first and clearest images of the star’s corpse since his death two years ago. Jackson’s death at the age of 50 rocked the music world, and triggered extensive investigations which turned up evidence about Murray’s alleged role in giving the star a drug overdose which led to his death. Murray’s lawyers claim Jackson swallowed eight two-milligram pills of lorazepam, another anti-anxiety medication, in the final hours before his death without his doctor’s knowledge,before administering a final dose of propofol while the medic was out of the room. mt/rl
