Dr. Steven Shafer, an expert in the anesthetic propofol that Jackson’s doctor had been using as a sleep aid, said there were 17 violations by Dr. Conrad Murray that each put Jackson’s life at risk. Murray has pleaded not guilty to involuntary manslaughter. He was Jackson’s personal physician for roughly two months before the singer’s unexpected death in June 2009. The cardiologist’s attorneys will cross-examine Shafer on Thursday. Many of the violations concerned modern life-saving equipment that Murray lacked when he gave Jackson propofol in the bedroom of his rented mansion, but Shafer said among the cardiologist’s worst transgressions was he put his own interests ahead of Jackson’s.
