Faheem Muhammad – Head of Michael Jackson’s security detail, started off as a driver and was promoted to head of security. Second person to arrive on the scene.







Kathy Jorrie, attorney for concert promoter AEG Live, took the stand for the prosecution. Jorrie testified that, while drawing up Murray's contract for the concerts at O2 arena, the doctor requested that a CPR machine be provided in the event that one wasn't available at the concert venue at London's O2 arena.

When she asked Murray why he would need a CPR machine, Murray responded, it was a precaution because Michael would be exerting himself during his performances and he didn't want to take chances.`

"Dr. Murray told me Michael Jackson was perfectly healthy, in excellent condition," Jorrie testified.

When asked to provide 5 years worth of Jackson's medical records Murray said that he had only been Michael's physician for 3 years Jorrie recalled.


She said Murray told her not to worry about Jackson's condition. "He's great," she recounted the doctor telling her in a conversation on June 24th, the day before Jackson's death.

Jorrie also testified about drafting a contract for Murray to work as Jackson's personal physician.

Jorrie testified that Murray was hired as an independent contractor and he was to also be provided with airfare to and from London, housing in the city, a private vehicle, liability insurance and medical malpractice insurance.

At one point in negotiations, Murray requested his contract be modified to allow him to hire another physician in case he was tired or unavailable while Jackson was performing in London, she testified.

"He wanted to make sure that there was somebody else available to be of assistance," Jorrie said.

Jorrie also testified that Murray's monthly fee for his services was $150,000 per month. Murray wanted $150,000 a month, even while "This Is It" was on hiatus.

Murray signed the contract and returned it by fax on the evening of June 24th.
A copy of the contract was shown and a line where Jackson was supposed to provide a signature is seen left blank.











"The contract was not signed by all the required parties," she said. "No payment was made by my client (to Murray)."

Cross-examined by defense attorney J. Michael Flanagan, Jorrie says that Murray characterized himself as Jackson's personal physician, and never claimed that he was the only physician providing treatment to Jackson.

Asked if the intention of the contract was to hold Murray to a full-time commitment to Jackson's health, Jorrie said no, stating, "I don't believe he was prohibited by the contract by doing other things at all."

"Not at all, Dr. Murray's contract could be terminated at any time by Mr. Jackson" Jorrie stated, when asked if the contract guaranteed Murray employment  at $150,00 per month for the entire tour.





Michael Jackson's personal assistant, Michael Williams, has taken the stand to testify about, among other things, the call he received from Dr. Conrad Murray on June 25, 2009, the day of Jackson's death.

While on the stand, Williams said that Jackson was "in very good spirits" on the evening before his death. He said the rehearsal was "amazing."

According to WIlliams, he missed Murray's call at approximately 12:13 p.m. because he was in the shower, but heard the message when he got out of the shower minutes later.

"It was Dr. Murray; I can't quote it exactly, but it was, "Call me right away, call me right away, thank you," Williams testified.

When he called back, at about 12:15, Williams said, Murray replied, " 'Where are you?' And I said I'm downtown.' He said, 'Get here right away; Mr. Jackson had a bad reaction."

According to Williams, Murray said, "Get someone up here immediately."

At no point in the message or during the subsequent phone call did Murray ask Williams to call 911, Williams said.

Williams said he called  security, Faheem Muhammed and told him to go upstairs, Muhammed indicated that he was not at the property. he told him to turn around and go back and Mr. Muhammed said why? he told him that he was not sure but something was going on and he needs to get back as soon as possible

Williams, stated that he received a callback from Mr. Alvarez and after asking his where-a-bouts, was informed that Alvarez was in the security trailer and he told him to go inside immediately.

Williams testified that he remained on the line when Alvarez reached the house and after giving him permission to not only enter the residence, but to also go upstairs, he  could hear Alberto running upstairs and Dr. Murray saying something in the background. shortly, thereafter , the call was disconnected by Mr. Alvarez.

 When Williams arrived at the residence, the first thing he saw was MJ being brought out on a gurney. He characterized Murray's demeanor while Jackson was being loaded into the ambulance as "frantic; I knew it was serious when I seen him."

Williams didn't recall seeing Dr. Murray enter the ambulance at that point but he remembers hearing him say "I'm riding with the ambulance"

Michael Amir Williams also testifies that Dr. Conrad Murray attempted to gain re-entry to Jackson's Holmby Hills home shortly after Jackson was pronounced dead at the hospital on June 25, 2009.

"We were making small talk about how horrible this is, both of us were tearing up" Williams said. "[Murray] said, 'There's some cream in Michael's room or house that he wouldn't want the world to know about it, and he requested that I or someone else drive him back to the house so he could get the cream, so the world wouldn't know about it."

Williams testified that, after consulting with security guard Faheem Muhammad, they determined that he shouldn't be allowed back inside the house. "This can't happen, we can't let him back in the house".

Williams stated that Faheem said "I'm not letting him have my keys" so he made an excuse as to why they couldn't take him  by telling Dr. Murray that the police had taken their keys so they could not take him back to the house.

According to Williams, Murray then said that he was hungry, he hadn't eaten all day or all night and wanted a ride to get some food, but was again denied.

Williams went on to testify that, in the months prior to Jackson's death, it was common to see oxygen tanks in the house, and that the tanks would be picked up from a facility and brought to the house at Murray's request.










When asked had he ever heard Michael speak the way he had on the audio recording, Williams stated that he had heard Michael speek in a similar matter ( although not to that extent) after leaving Dr. Arnold Klein's office -- where the defense says Michael got hooked on Demerol

On cross-examination, Williams admitted to the defense that he initially waited until August to tell police about Murray's attempt to gain re-entry into Jackson's home. When asked why he did not mention the request to detectives during his two previous interviews. Williams stated that the previous interviews were short and not detailed discussions.







Next to take the stand Wednesday Michael Jackson's security chief, Faheem Muhammad, took the stand next. He says that Jackson seemed fine during his concert rehearsal the night before he died: "It was excellent, it was high-energy."

Muhammad said that on the day Jackson died, he received a phone message from the singer's assistant, Michael Amir Williams, at 12:16 p.m. urging him to come to the house. Muhammad said he was in his car at the time, as he had left the property around noon to go to the bank.

He said Williams told him "MJ had a bad reaction" and asked him to go check on him.

Muhammad further testified he entered Jackson's home and went upstairs into his bedroom on the afternoon of the singer's death, and saw Murray standing on the far side of the bed while Alberto Alvarez, Michael's director of logistics, was pacing nervously.

"When I came into the room, I saw Alberto standing up, pacing," Muhammad said, referring to the singer's bodyguard, Alberto Alvarez.

Muhammed testified that he asked "How's it looking?" to which Alverez said its not looking good. He then proceeded to look at Jackson.

"I saw Mr. Jackson's feet near the side of the bed on the ground and as I continued to walk over I could see the rest of his body and I saw Dr. Murray near his side. He appeared to be administering CPR. He appeared very nervous. He was on his side. He was sweating."

It was at this time that he saw Michael's face and body.

"What did you observe about his face," prosecutor David Walgren asked

"That his eyes were open," Muhammad said. "That his mouth was slightly open."

"Did he appear to be dead," Walgren asked.

"Yes."

Muhammed also noted that there was no monitoring equipment hooked up to Mr. Jackson at the time.

Muhammed recalled that he soon noticed that Jackson's children, Prince and Paris, had gathered by the doorway.

"Paris was on the ground, balled-up crying," Muhammad said. When asked about the state of Prince, Muhammed responded that "Prince whe was just standing there,he had a shocked slowly crying type of look on his face."

"I went and gathered them together and kind of talked to them for a second. Got the nanny's attention from the stairway. We walked them downstairs and put them in a secure location where they couldn't see what was going on" Muhammed testified.

Upon returning to Jackson's bedroom, Muhammed testified that Murray asked him and Jackson's logistics director, Alberto Alvarez, if they knew CPR, at which point Alvarez went to help Murray try to revive Jackson.

Muhammad then asked if 911 had been called to which Alvarez replied "yes."


Alvarez, no longer assisting Murray was pacing around, "Dr, Murray was on the ground trying to do what he was trying to do" noted Muhammed. He then left the room to get cars ready in case they had to take Jackson to the hospital themselves.


Muhammad testified that 911 arrived and he escorted them into the room, noting that the majority of the time the medics were there he was in the room, only leaving to put the children in the car so they wouldn't have to see Jackson's body and to alert the guards that the medics would be coming out soon and to keep watch for Paparazzi, who were already swarming the perimeter of the mansion.

Soon after, according to Muhammad, he and Williams rode with the children to the hopital, where fans and Paparazzi had already started to gather.

Muhammad confirmed William's words concerning Murray's request to return to the house to retrieve a cream, adding that they agreed Murray "shouldn't enter the house under any circumstances." Muhammad also confirmed that the doctor had asked for a ride to get some food stating that he told Murray to go to the hospital's cafeteria. He said he later saw Murray leaving the building.

Muhammad also claimed that he took Jackon to visit Dr. Arnold Klein's office on many occasions and Jackson often came out "a bit tipsy, sometimes needing to be carried out by Klein's staff.

When questioned as to how often he took Jackson to Klein's office , Muhammad replied,"there were times when Mr. Jackson was going every day and times when he didn't go for a few days."

According to Muhammad, Jackson once said to him, "You must think I'm crazy for going to Dr. Klein so much."

"No sir I don't think you are crazy, I'm just doing my job" Muhammed said he told Mr. Jackson, who then elaborated a bit by saying that he was going to Klein's because he had a skin disease and his Doctors said he needs to go.


Muhammed was then asked whether or not he knew Nurse Cherilynn Lee to which he responded Yes. When asked in what capacity, Muhammed stated "professionally, she was hired when one of the kids was sick."

Muhammed testified that he also called Nurse Lee on June 21 2009 on Jakcon's behalf. after having been asked to call by Jackson's assistant, Michael Amir Williams. "Mr. Jackson was having weird symptoms, one of his hands was hot and one of his feet was cold and he wanted a doctor." When asked if he spoke with Nurse Lee Muhammad replied "I wasn't able to get in touch with her immediately. I believe I left a voicemail." Muhammed said

He also added that He never called Dr. Murray and when questionedabout how often Nurse Lee visited the home, Muhammad added "next to never can count on one hand the amount of times she came."

Murray was never called nuse lee came over the house next to never can count on 1 hand the amount of times she came.
