Michael Jackson Death Trial: Dr Murray's Treatment 'Unethical'

The treatment of Michael Jackson by his doctor in the hours before his death was "unethical, disturbing and beyond comprehension", a court has heard.

The statement came during evidence from sleep therapist Dr Nader Kamanger, who said the cocktail of drugs on Jackson was “a recipe for disaster” that ultimately caused his death.

Dr Conrad Murray has been charged with the involuntary manslaughter of Jackson, who died in June 2009.

He has denied the charge, but admitted giving Jackson a small dosage of the powerful anaesthetic propofol in the hours before he died.

However, the prosecution argue that he gave the singer a fatal dose.

On Thursday (October 13), Dr Kamanger said Dr Murray should not have given Jackson the drug to treat insomnia, reports the Press Association.

"To summarise, Mr Jackson was receiving very inappropriate therapy in a home setting, receiving very potent therapies without monitoring," he said.

If found guilty, Dr Murray faces up to four years in prison and the loss of his medical license.
