Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 27m
Boyle asked about Earley’s payments on the case. The doctor estimated he’d been paid $80-90k on the case, not including his testimony.
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 27m
By this point, Earley was already doing research for AEG Live, although the company hadn’t agreed to fund his study by then.
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 27m
Boyle: “You were referring to Michael Jackson.”
“I was referring to the addiction problem, so the answer is no,” Earley said.
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 27m
Earley said he hadn't made up his mind about Jackson and was merely trying to draw attention to the problem of addiction.
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 28m
Boyle pressed Earley on his use of the term addiction, again asking whether he’d made up his mind about Jackson’s case by then.
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 28m
Earley said he wrote the post to draw attention to an article written by friend and journalist William C. Moyers.
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 29m
Boyle this morning also showed Earley a second blog post he wrote in Dec. 2011 that had the headline: “Murray Convicted -- Addiction Wins.”
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 30m
Boyle questioned whether Earley’s blog posts on Michael Jackson violated those guidelines. Earley said he didn’t think they did.
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 30m
... should only provide general information about addiction and not offer diagnosis on celebrities or other public figures.
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 30m
Boyle also showed Earley the ethical guidelines of the American Society of Addiction Medicine, which state members ... (cont)
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 30m
Dr. Earley said didn’t know and he couldn’t contact the people in the study due to medical privacy laws.
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 30m
The journal article focused on case studies of 22 medical professionals who had propofol addiction. Boyle asked if they were all alive.
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 31m
... on the article’s seventh page. Earley said he had no control over where the disclosure was listed, that was the journal’s decision.
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 31m
Earley said he did disclose that AEG Live paid for the research funding as spelled out in the policy. AEG’s payments were listed ...(cont)
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 31m
The policy states potential conflicts of interest should be disclosed on the cover sheet when the article is submitted.
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 32m
Boyle then showed Earley the conflict of interest policy for the journal where the AEG-funded article ran.
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 32m
Earley said he had written two or three peer-reviewed articles. He said some were published in European journals.
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 33m
Boyle started out by asking Earley about his experience writing articles for medical publications and any conflicts of interest.
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 34m
Today’s cross-examination by plaintiff’s attorney Kevin Boyle was a bit more subdued than yesterday’s but was still very pointed.
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 34m
The attorneys will be in court tomorrow dealing with motions. A dismissal motion scheduled for tomorrow will now be heard Monday.
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 35m
No other witnesses were called today. There’s no trial tomorrow, so the jury returns at 9:30 a.m. on Friday.
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 35m
We’re done for the day in Jackson vs. AEG Live. Dr. Paul Earley wrapped up his testimony late in the court day.
Boyle asked about Earley’s payments on the case. The doctor estimated he’d been paid $80-90k on the case, not including his testimony.

Week 19 (9/4/13) cont. 2
by Admin Wed Sep 04, 2013 9:35 pm
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 21m Testimony ended soon after that. The trial resumes on Friday at 9:30 a.m. It’s expected to be a full day of videotape witnesses.
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 21m Boyle ended by asking Earley if he was aware that Murray ordered more than four gallons of propofol for Jackson. The doctor said he was.
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 22m “In medicine, we don’t talk about blame,” Earley said. This opinion was played earlier in the case for the jury .
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 22m At the end of his questioning Boyle asked Earley about his opinion that you can’t blame an addict for their addiction.
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 22m “This is a small study. I’m not building the atom bomb,” Earley responded.
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 22m Boyle likened AEG’s payments to Earley’s research as similar to private money turning into a nuclear weapon.
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 22m Earley said he also didn’t have control over how the plaintiff’s used his research, or any other research that’s been published.
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 22m Boyle also asked Earley about whether he had any control over
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 23m ... in medicine at the time the study was written. Earley said his co-author has since had his license reinstated and is working in New York
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 23m It turns out Earley’s co-author had his medical license suspended due to some addiction-related legal problems. He wasn’t working ...
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 23m Boyle took back over and asked some questions about Earley’s co-author on his AEG-funded propofol study.
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 24m Earley was asked whether MJ should have avoided doctors. He said no _ he needed treatment _ but he needed to disclose all his conditions.
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 24m Cahan asked him the doctor about his blog posts. He said he didn’t think they were an issue because he wasn’t making any diagnoses.
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 24m Earley said in response to a question by Cahan that before Jackson’s death, propofol addiction was virtually unknown by the public.
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 25m Cahan showed Earley and the jury a chart that listed Murray’s first treatments of MJ in 2006, and propofol shipments from April-June ’09.
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 25m ... working on the tour and his request for $5 million. That
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 25m AEG’s lawyers point to Murray ordering propofol before that date. Boyle later noted Gongaware’s testimony about talking to Murray about ...
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 25m Boyle’s point was that Jackson didn’t request propofol from anyone else after Murray was working with MJ on the “This Is It” tour.
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 26m Boyle showed a chart listing those requests by Jackson, adding the May 6, 2009 date that AEG exec Paul Gongaware said Murray’s deal was done
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 26m That wouldn't include anesthesiologist Dr. David Adams, who Jackson approached in 2009 but didn’t discuss propofol by name.
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 26m Boyle’s examination after lunch focused on the times that Jackson requested propofol over sleep _ they said in court it was four times.
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 27m After the lunch break, Boyle questioned Earley for about an hour before passing him to AEG lawyer Kathryn Cahan.
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 27m It turns out another lawyer, Michael Koskoff, had ripped out the pages on propofol while questioning another witness, Dr. Levounis.
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 27m Earley couldn’t find the entry in the PDR so Boyle asked partner Brian Panish to locate it. He couldn’t find it either.
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 27m The Physicians’ Desk Reference, AKA PDR, has detailed entries on many drugs. It’s the book Cherilyn Lee used to discuss propofol with MJ.
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 27m One such delay happened when Boyle asked Earley to find the entry for propofol in the 2009 edition of the Physicians’ Desk Reference.
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 27m In general, there were a lot of delays in testimony today. Lots of sidebars and objections and some charts that had to be quickly redone.
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 28m Earley said Jackson had access to the doctor, but it was the doctor’s responsibility to be a gatekeeper to drugs and medications.
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 28m Boyle asked whether Jackson having full time access to a doctor like Conrad Murray would be a trigger for his addiction.
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 28m “Michael had a lot to live for,” Earley said of Jackson and his love for his children, which could have aided in a recovery.
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 28m Boyle asked about the role of a family’s love in the recovery of an addict. Earley said it was important in his early stages of recovery.
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 29m Boyle asked the doctor whether during his addiction, he had a concert promoter involved in his life, med care. Earley said he didn’t.
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 29m The doctor said it was a miracle, by the “grace of God” that he survived. Many of his patients have been addicted physicians.
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 29m Earley said in response to one question about his recovery that while he survived, many of his colleagues with addiction have not.
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 29m The attorney asked Early whether in the depths of his addiction, his prognosis was grave. “Yes it was,” Earley responded.
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 30m Earley said his drugs of abuse were oxycodone, heroin, codeine and hydrocodone. Boyle repeatedly commended him on his recovery.
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 30m His work in the addiction medical field grew out of his recovery and rehabilitation. His issues were in the early 1980s, he said.
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 30m He was criminally charged with writing prescriptions to himself under false names and went into treatment.
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 30m Earley was very candid about his addiction, saying he was at one point nearly homeless and had to relinquish his medical license.
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 30m Boyle asked if Earley was relying on his own experiences as the basis for his opinions in the case. The doctor said only to a small extent.
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 30m Earley spoke extensively today about his own addiction to opioids and how he was able to be rehabilitated and keep his medical license.
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 31m Rest of the day's updates in Jackson vs AEG Live coming up...
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 21m Boyle ended by asking Earley if he was aware that Murray ordered more than four gallons of propofol for Jackson. The doctor said he was.
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 22m “In medicine, we don’t talk about blame,” Earley said. This opinion was played earlier in the case for the jury .

Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 22m Boyle likened AEG’s payments to Earley’s research as similar to private money turning into a nuclear weapon.
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 22m Earley said he also didn’t have control over how the plaintiff’s used his research, or any other research that’s been published.
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 22m Boyle also asked Earley about whether he had any control over
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 23m ... in medicine at the time the study was written. Earley said his co-author has since had his license reinstated and is working in New York

Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 29m Earley said in response to one question about his recovery that while he survived, many of his colleagues with addiction have not.
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 29m The attorney asked Early whether in the depths of his addiction, his prognosis was grave. “Yes it was,” Earley responded.
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 30m Earley said his drugs of abuse were oxycodone, heroin, codeine and hydrocodone. Boyle repeatedly commended him on his recovery.
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 30m His work in the addiction medical field grew out of his recovery and rehabilitation. His issues were in the early 1980s, he said.
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 30m He was criminally charged with writing prescriptions to himself under false names and went into treatment.
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 30m Earley was very candid about his addiction, saying he was at one point nearly homeless and had to relinquish his medical license.
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 30m Boyle asked if Earley was relying on his own experiences as the basis for his opinions in the case. The doctor said only to a small extent.
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 30m Earley spoke extensively today about his own addiction to opioids and how he was able to be rehabilitated and keep his medical license.
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 31m Rest of the day's updates in Jackson vs AEG Live coming up...

Van Valin was Jackson's doctor in the early 2000s when the singer lived at Neverland Ranch.

Today will be an entire day of video witnesses. AEG Live is playing the videotaped deposition of Dr. William "Barney" Van Valin today.

We're on the lunch break in Jackson vs. AEG Live. Got some writing/editing I have to do today, so postings will probably be light.

The lawyers will use this week to take care of important work such as jury instructions and the verdict form.
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 1h
Testimony will resume Monday Sept. 16. AEG Live is still expected to rest that week and then the rebuttal case will begin.
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 1h
Detail from updated story: There will be NO testimony this week in the Jackson vs AEG Live case so a juror can visit an ill family member.

I just checked both twitters for AP and ABC-nothing-so I checked Alan Duke's twitter and saw this:
Alan Duke @AlanDukeCNN 13 Sep
Michael Jackson death trial testimony delayed again until Wednesday due to juror family emergency.
So this means no trial proceedings until 9/18/13. Shamone already jeesh!

Michael Jackson's longtime physician closes defense case in civil trial over singer's death [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] …
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 18h The plaintiffs get some additional time for their rebuttal, which will be Wednesday morning if the schedule holds.
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 18h
Each side has 4 hours, which is basically one court day.
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 18h
I will try to tweet out links daily on our stories, but won't be live-tweeting the closings. I'll be back the following week.
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 18h
One programming note: I have a long-planned work trip next week, so won't be covering closing arguments. AP will be covering, of course.
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 18h
It sounds like based on the current schedule, the jury will get the Jackson vs. AEG Live case on Wednesday. Then the waiting begins...
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 18h
We'll have a story out soon on Dr. Metzger's testimony and the defense resting. I'll get a link out once it's online.
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 18h
It sounds like the rebuttal case will be wrapped up tomorrow and the jury will be given its instructions on Friday morning.
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 18h
Dr. Metzger will be called by the plaintiffs as a live witness tomorrow to give additional testimony about his treatments on Jackson.
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 18h
Plaintiffs started their rebuttal case and called LAPD Detective Scott Smith, whose testimony was brief.
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 18h
AEG's final witness was Dr. Allan Metzger, whose videotaped testimony was played for the jury.
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 19h
AEG Live rested its defense case this afternoon in the Jackson civil trial. They did not call Katherine Jackson back to the stand.
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 2h
They still have to finish playing the deposition of Dr. Metzger and then we'll see if they call any more witnesses.

Tomorrow's a half-day session, so perhaps the evidence phase will close tomorrow and some of the remaining issues will get resolved.
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 2h
There were frequent sidebars and some long arguments today and still a lot that needs to get done. Verdict form, instructions not done yet.
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 2h
Since they didn't finish with Metzger, it sounds like closings will now start on Tuesday and wrap up on Thursday.
Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 2h
We're done for the day in Jackson vs. AEG Live. Dr. Allan Metzger was today's witness and will be back tomorrow.
