杰克逊遗体照被电视直播 解剖显示死于他杀(图)

据国外媒体报道，流行天王迈克尔杰克逊死亡案依然在审理之中，检方证人在一次电视直播的庭审中出示了一项让人震惊的证据，一张展示杰克逊遗体的清晰照片。

在当地时间本周二举行的这次庭审中，为杰克逊遗体进行解剖的病理学家克里斯托弗罗杰斯出庭作证。他展示了一张杰克逊遗体的清晰照片，并表示经过解剖，他认为导致杰克逊死亡的原因是过量使用强力的麻醉剂异丙酚。由于这场庭审在电视上现场直播，这张令人震惊的照片也出现在了电视荧屏上。照片上杰克逊的遗体全身赤裸，仰躺在一张解剖台上，关键部位被打上马赛克，而他的手臂上依然保留着静脉注射装置和医用胶带。罗杰斯表示，解剖的结果显示杰克逊死于他杀，杰克逊的私人医生康拉德莫里自称曾离开杰克逊2分钟，在这么短的时间里，杰克逊根本无法为自己注射过量的麻醉剂。

之前58岁的莫里依然为自己做着无罪辩护，但目前的证词对于他相当不利。

The Fight Over Jackson‘s Health

There are two decidedly different portraits of Michael Joseph Jackson emerging from the trial of Dr. Conrad Murray, who has been charged with involuntary manslaughter in Los Angeles Superior Court. The state has painted the King of Pop as a healthy and functional man, while the defense team for Murray is careful to stress the entertainer’s many and varied maladies. Murray’s guilt or innocence may hinge on which version the jury accepts.

Dr. Christopher Rogers, the Los Angeles deputy medical examiner, began his quiet and matter-of-fact testimony by revealing that he has done thousands of autopsies during his career. If being put in charge of determining the cause of death for a world-renowned superstar rattled him, he didn’t show it. Rogers then promptly declared that the autopsy he performed on 50-year-old Michael Jackson proved the entertainer was “healthier than the average person of his age.” The doctor based his opinion, he told prosecutor David Walgren, on the fact that Jackson showed no signs of atherosclerosis.

“At the age of 50 almost everybody has atherosclerosis,” Rogers said. “【It’s】 the fat and cholesterol that builds up on the walls of coronary arteries” over the years. Jackson didn’t have any, and his body-mass index was normal for a man who stood 5 foot 9 and weighed 139 pounds. Rogers conceded, however, that Jackson was “thinner than most, I believe.”

It is to the state’s benefit to portray Jackson as a functioning and fit father and businessman who was about to embark on an important comeback concert tour in London. He was a man who “literally put his life in the hands of Dr. Conrad Murray,” as the prosecutor put it during opening statements, only to lose his life because of the doctor’s “gross negligence, medical abandonment, and repeated incompetence.” Murray’s most grievous act, according to the prosecution, was that he dared to bring the hospital-only anesthetic propofol into a private home and use it without the proper monitoring and resuscitation equipment.

And it is in the defense team’s interest, of course, to peel back the veil of secrecy about the King of Pop’s precise health problems as a way to show the jury that this was no ordinary man. Rather, that he was an aging entertainer plagued by doubts about his talent and stubbornly grappling with a debilitating host of long-ignored medical problems—not the least of which was a raging dependency on prescription drugs. The defense theory is that Jackson self-administered extra drugs and propofol on the last night of his life without Murray’s knowledge and caused his own death. And while Dr. Conrad Robert Murray may never take the stand in his own defense, his voice has been heard in the courtroom in a two-hour-long tape recording of his original interview with LAPD detectives.

Next to the verdict the jury will render in this case, court watchers are certain to remember the stark particulars of Michael Jackson’s health revealed during this trial.
