The defense cross-examined the prosecution's final witness in Conrad Murray's involuntary manslaughter trial today (day 14), in what was perhaps one of the most dramatic days of the trial.
Dr. Steven Shafer -- a longtime expert on Propofol -- took the stand again. A recap:
- Shafer said that it would have taken a lot of "time and coordination" for MJ to inject Propofol into himself (the defense is arguing that MJ injected Propofol into himself when Dr. Murray left the room to use the bathroom, thus causing an overdose.)
- It came out that MJ's veins had become so unavailable from injections that Murray had started to give him IVS below his knee.
- Shafer dispute the defense's contention that MJ ingested eight tablets of Lorazepam, another sedative, on the day he died. Shafer said the actual amount was much smaller.
- Shafer said MJ had been given more than the 25 milligrams of Propofol that Murray told police he'd given the singer.
- Judge Michael Pastor called a break after Murray lost his cool; Murray got upset when Shafer started using an infusion stand to demonstrate how MJ would have been given Propofol. "Can you believe that?" he said to Dr. Paul White (a defense witness.) "What a scumbag," White told the media sitting near him.
White told E! that though Shafer is a former student, friend and colleague of his, Shafer's testimony has changed the way White thinks of him. "The truth will come out," he said. "It always does. I am going to take the high road ... "
White also called Deputy District Attorney David Walgren's use of evidence as "unethical and unconscionable."
Could this mean the tables might turn for the defense? The defense has its chance to call witnesses now.

Phoebe Price, Emmy Rossum and Selma Blair were among the many celebs we spotted at Eveleigh last night, and it seems like everyone had a blast at the West Hollywood hotspot.
We also snapped Kelly Clarkson leaving her concert at the Troubadour, and she appeared elated after the show. "Thank you to the fans that came out last night in LA!" she tweeted.

Michael Lohan is not shying away from questions involving his daughter Lindsay's sobriety.
Papa Lohan tells X17online exclusively:
"Lindsay has a severe drug problem. If it wasn't for the wrong people, doctors and rehab, she would be back on top. She needs a real rehab that keeps you in for a year and detoxes their patients of every drug, illicit or prescribed."
Michael believes with his help, Lindsay's life can be put back on track. He says:
"If the judge orders her in for a year and Lindsay listens to me, I will turn this all around for her. I'll do my best to convince the judge, probation and prosecutors to finally put an end to this madness and give her life back. The enablers and parasites around her better leave now ... that includes Patrick [Aufdenkamp], Eleanor [Lindsay's assistant] and Vikram [Chatwal]."
In a recent interview with
HLN, Michael addressed Lindsay's yellow teeth. He told host Jane Valez-Mitchell,
“The [issue with her teeth], that's from smoking a pipe with meth or crack. She’s smoking either crack or meth, one or the other. I’m not going to shade it.â€

Our photogs spoke with Ed Winter this morning -- Assistant Chief of the Los Angeles Coroner's Office.

Lindsay Lohan was, of course, supposed to show up to the LA County Morgue this morning as part of the court-ordered community service that Judge Stephanie Sautner gave her on Wednesday.
But -- SHE DIDN'T! Lindsay's camp claimed that Linds didn't make it to the morgue by 8 a.m. because she was confused about which entrance to go in and the media was in her way. Somehow, that made her
40 minutes late.
Winter was not happy. He said the morgue got a phone call from Lindsay's people at 7:40 a.m. saying she was 10 minutes away. When she didn't show up until 8:40 a.m., they turned her away (watch above.)
And, he said Lindsay
LIED about not being able to find the right entrance --
she was NOT there at all!
"She was given directions. She was supposed to be here. She’s been here prior, so she knows where we’re at. … She was not here at 8 in the front or the back."
Attorney Barry Gerald Sands spoke with X17
exclusively and told us that Judge Stephanie Sautner could consider the tardiness a violation of probation at Lohan's progress hearing on November 2.
Sautner was not happy with Linds in her progress hearing on Wednesday. Only a day later, things are just getting worse!
