Conrad Murray’s girlfriend: he was tired

Michelle Bla, one of Conrad Murray’s girlfriends, told police details about the day Michael Jackson died. Conrad Murray, who was married, met Michelle Bla in 2008 at a strip club in Las Vegas. Michelle Bla was one of the women who spoke with Conrad Murray by phone on June 25, 2009—the day Michael died. Conrad Murray is accused of causing Michael’s death through his negligence. Michelle said that this heart specialist, on the day Michael died, seemed tired on the other side of the line. Conrad Murray had sent her a message to her phone at 8:30 a.m. Murray had previously told her that he was Michael Jackson’s personal doctor. Michelle told police: “I knew his work schedule was definitely such that he would have to stay awake for hours, so when he called me, he sounded tired and said he needed to sleep for a bit.” One of the prosecutors’ theories is that maybe Murray had fallen asleep when he should have been carefully watching Michael, and when he woke up, he found Michael lifeless. This theory makes the defense lawyers’ claims even more questionable. The lawyers consider it a plausible theory that Michael woke up from sedation and that the wrong medication was injected into him, and they describe his death as suicide. In addition to information about Michael’s death, Michelle Bla also explained to police how she met Conrad Murray: “He first came into the club wearing surgical clothes, and I think one of his patients was there.” At the time, Bla was studying to become an assistant to a massage specialist, and she kept talking with Murray about medical science. “I know he wanted to impress me in some way.” Murray must have been very impressed by her medical knowledge because he sat and talked with Michelle for an hour and a half, and in the end he gave her a thousand dollars.
