A former girlfriend of the doctor charged in the death of Michael Jackson today said he phoned her the morning of the star’s death and she heard commotion in the background.
Sade Anding testified that she was talking to Dr Conrad Murray but at one point realised he was not paying attention to her.
She says she heard coughing and mumbling but did not recognise the voice as Murray.
Ms Anding said she stayed on the line for five to six minutes, but Murray never got back on the phone.
Prosecutors called Ms Anding to testify during a preliminary hearing in Los Angeles to determine if there is enough evidence for Murray to stand trial for involuntary manslaughter.
He has pleaded not guilty.
