A Michael Jackson fan was removed from the courthouse after yelling "Murderer, Murderer" at Murray as he walked down the hallway during a recess late Tuesday morning.
Jackson fans lined both sides of the hallway and held hands as members of Jackson's family walked past at the end of the morning session. Prosecutors briefly recalled their anesthesiology expert, Dr.
Steven Shafer, for a rebuttal to defense propofol expert Dr. Paul White before resting their case Tuesday morning. Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor will meet with lawyers for both sides Tuesday afternoon to discuss what exhibits will be admitted into evidence and what instructions he will give to jurors before they begin deliberations Thursday afternoon.
The prosecution contends that Murray's use of the surgical anesthetic propofol to treat Jackson's insomnia in his home deviated from the standards of care expected of a doctor so egregiously that it made him criminally responsible for Jackson's death. If Murray had decided to tell jurors his version of what happened the day the world's biggest pop star died under his care, it would have been at the risk of intensive cross-examination by Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney David Walgren.
Walgren proved his cross-examination skills again Monday in a fiery battle with Dr. Shafer was retained by the prosecutors in the case. In this clip, Prosecutor David Walgren is questioning Dr. Steven Shafer on October 13th, which is the 12th day of the manslaughter trial.

In the defense opening statement, lawyer Ed Chernoff said scientific evidence would show that Jackson took his own life. He said Murray was out of the room at the time. The Beverly Hills dermatologist addicted Jackson to Demerol, sometimes injecting him with 1, milligrams in a single week, Chernoff said.
He told jurors it was Demerol withdrawal that caused the crippling insomnia that Murray treated with propofol. Chernoff said the physician was known for providing top-notch healthcare to charity patients in the poorest neighborhood of Houston.
Murray lowered his head and wiped away tears. Ortega said that after Jackson showed up at rehearsals too weak to perform, he wrote an email to a concert promoter about canceling the shows. Harriet Ryan is an investigative reporter for the Los Angeles Times.
