Michael Jackson's bodyguard, Alberto Alvarez, a key prosecution witness at the trial of Conrad Murray, has told jurors the doctor "grabbed a handful of vials".
During the trial of Michael Jackson's doctor, Alberto Alvarez told the court that Murray asked him to stash vials and observed a "milky white substance" in an IV bag.
"While I was standing at the foot of the bed, he reached over and grabbed a handful of vials, and then he reached out to me and said, 'here put these in a bag'," said Alvarez, who said Murray also asked him to stash an IV bag that seemingly contained propofol – the anaesthetic that has been labelled as what ultimately killed Jackson.
"I was able to notice that at the bottom of the bag, there was what appeared to me like a milky white substance."
The testimony could potentially hurt Murray's case – making it seem as if the doctor was trying to cover up Jackson's propfol injections. The defence is making the claim that Jackson delivered the lethal does of the drug himself while Murray was out of the room.
Dr Murray faces up to four years in prison if convicted of involuntary manslaughter.
