LOS ANGELES — A judge denied a request Monday by lawyers for the doctor convicted of causing Michael Jackson’s death to have a laboratory test contents of a key vial of evidence.
Days before the sentencing of Dr. Conrad Murray, Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor said defense attorneys could have sought the testing months ago or during the doctor’s six-week trial but chose not to.
Murray’s attorneys wanted a lab to test liquid found in a vial of the anesthetic propofol that authorities contend was used to help Jackson sleep.
