“Brenda called me to tell me that she was in communications with Michael either through a medium or directly,” Phillips told jurors. “She said Michael told her that it wasn’t Dr. Murray’s fault, that he had accidentally killed himself.”
Phillips was referring to Dr. Conrad Murray, Jackson’s personal physician for the 2009 concert tour. Murray, who was paid $150,000 a month for his services, injected Jackson with the anesthetic propofol and administered other powerful and highly addictive pharmaceutical drugs to help him sleep. Dr. Murray was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in November 2011 and sentenced to four years in the Los Angeles County Jail.
Jackson’s family has filed a wrongful death civil lawsuit against AEG Live, alleging the company negligently hired Dr. Murray and that it knew Jackson was too sick to be on tour but did nothing to help him in order to protect millions of dollars in concert profits.
Brian Panish, an attorney representing Jackson’s family, objected to the introduction of third-hand testimony from a ‘ghost’ as “triple hearsay.” But Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Yvette Palazuelos overruled the objection, allowing the otherworldly testimony to stand.
