among the dozens of pictures shown as part of the Conrad Murray manslaughter
trial, reveals a metal stand with a hanging bag of intravenous fluids attached.
In the background are numerous portraits of unidentified babies along with a
small picture of Charlie Chaplin. Several canisters of what appears to be
oxygen stand next to a wooden dresser topped with gilded mirror.

Michael Jackson's mother
Katherine is suing AEG Live, claiming it failed to properly investigate her
son's personal doctor Conrad Murray and missed warning signs about his failing
health. Murray was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in 2011 after giving
Jackson a lethal dose of the anesthetic propofol
In the new photo collection,
prescription pill bottles are seen lined up on a nightstand alongside
over-the-counter products and a bottle of water while empty containers roll
around on the floor. Along with propofol, the names of drugs Diazepam and
Lidocaine are marked on some bottles' labels
In one telling image, which
appears to have been taken in a car, there is a list of nearby 24-hour
pharmacies and the phone numbers. Conrad Murray's medical bag is also indicated
in one picture, according to RadarOnline, stashed high in a closet in the
superstar's dressing room. There are also similar images from Murray's trial
including shots of Jackson's iconic embroidered jackets hanging in a closet and
stacks of movies on a nightstand.
The shocking new set of
images came as jurors in the Jackson case were shown an email on Monday in
which the top executive at AEG Live LLC expressed grave concerns about
treatments Jackson was receiving from his longtime dermatologist. The email
sent by AEG Live CEO Randy Phillips said the company was 'scared to death' of
drug injections given to Jackson. Phillips told jurors that the email was a
response to a $48,000 bill that Jackson's manager received for the treatments
by Dr Arnold Klein. 'He scares us to death because he is shooting him up with
something,' Phillips wrote.
The email was sent to
Jackson's business manager Michael Kane after a meeting was held at the
singer's house to address his health and missed rehearsals. The treatments
included numerous shots of cosmetic drugs such as Restalyne and botox, as well
as other unidentified intramuscular shots, Phillips said, citing the bill.
Klein's attorney has defended the doctor's treatment of Jackson.
AEG denies any wrongdoing,
and Phillips and other executives have testified during the trial that it would
have been inappropriate to ask about or intervene in Jackson's medical care.
Phillips was told by a judge to answer questions posed by a lawyer for
Katherine Jackson without arguing and that his demeanor might be hurting his
case.
Jurors were sent from the
courtroom before Superior Court Judge Yvette Palazuelos addressed Phillips, who
has sparred with attorney Brian Panish throughout his testimony. The lawyers
have been repeatedly warned by the judge about the behavior. 'Arguing with the
lawyers isn't really going to help,' Palazuelos told Phillips. 'It's not going
to help your case. It's not going to help anybody.' Phillips said Panish was
repeatedly asking him questions about the same subject. 'I'm just trying not to
say the wrong thing,' Phillips said. The admonition by the judge came after
Panish asked Phillips about characterizations of Murray that Phillips made in
an email sent five days before the singer died.
Phillips acknowledged that
some of the statements - including that AEG Live had checked out Murray and
that the former cardiologist didn't need the job - turned out not to be true.
When Panish asked if Phillips had acknowledged that some of his statements to
the director of Jackson's This Is It shows weren't true, the executive said:
'Honestly, only to stop you from badgering me, yes.' Palazuelos briefly stopped
the testimony and issued the warning. Jessica Stebbins Bina, a defense attorney
for AEG Live, said some of Panish's questions had been argumentative. The judge
disagreed.
