She recalled: “They were crying, they were fairly hysterical, being comforted by someone who was referred to as their nurse.”
Richelle was testifying in the trial of Dr. Conrad Murray – the star’s personal physician who is accused of giving Michael the lethal dose of Propofol which led to his death – and also told the jury that the doctor never mentioned administering the powerful drug, saying he had only given the sedative lorazepam to the `Thriller’ hitmaker.
The witness also explained she had given paramedics permission to pronounce the singer dead at his home but he was brought to hospital as Murray – who is accused of involuntary manslaughter – wanted resuscitation efforts to continue.
She said: “My assessment when he arrived was that he was clinically dead, and given that it had been about an hour [since he had reportedly stopped breathing], resuscitation efforts would likely be futile.”
Dr. Cooper never asked Murray to sign a death certificate because Michael became her patient when he was brought to the hospital.
She added: “Mr. Jackson was my patient and I didn’t really have an explanation for why he was dead.”
Murray denies the involuntary manslaughter charge but if found guilty, he faces up to four years in prison.
