Conrad Murray’s voicemail on the day Michael died

Some time ago, a recorded voice message from Conrad Murray—left for his patient—was released. On the day Michael died, Conrad Murray made three phone calls totaling 47 minutes from his mobile phone starting at 11:18 a.m.: one call to his office in Las Vegas, another to a friend, and the last to his patient, Bob Russell. Russell didn’t answer the phone, and Murray left him a message. This phone message was first broadcast on NBC on February 5. Now that Murray is being tried for Michael Jackson’s involuntary manslaughter, this phone message could be important in two ways: the time the calls were made and the tone of Murray’s speech. This message was recorded at 11:54 a.m. on June 25—meaning about half an hour before the call that Michael’s employee made from Michael’s home to the emergency services and requested help. Was Murray present with his patient the whole time, monitoring him? Or was he busy making his phone calls? Was he even in the same room where Michael died? Does Murray’s voice in this phone call sound like someone dealing with a crisis? Bob Russell, the patient, says his voice in this call sounds tired. To listen to this phone message, click.
