James Fayed and Pamela Fayed

James Fayed was found guilty of first degree murder on Thursday, May 19, 2011, with special circumstances of financial gain and lying in wait. Also found guilty of conspiracy to commit murder in the death of Pamela Fayed.

….10:57 am: BUZZ! BUZZ! BUZZ! We have a verdict!

11:38 am: I move down to a chair right by the door so I can exit the courtroom quickly and press send to get the verdict published first. ANOTHER camera guy comes in to try to set up!

….12:05 pm: Judge takes the bench at 12:05 pm. On the record. Fayed is here. Jurors have reached a verdict. I don’t want any reaction, visible reaction …. and I don’t want the jury to be influenced by any way (because if it is a first degree verdict and because of the special circumstance) so can we please bring the jury out.

Guilty of first degree! …

Penalty Phase Day one May, 20, 2011:

First there were some issues the defense presented for the record. Jackson wanted to present a handwritten letter into evidence that was found with Pamela Fayed’s personal things in the storage unit. This letter, dated July 7th, 2006, was confiscated by authorities in the search warrant and the family had never seen it. The defense argued that this letter was hearsay, and no clear evidence it was written by Pamela Fayed. Jackson argued passionately that he wanted to present this letter because it would show clear evidence of the family’s loss. Judge Kennedy in no way shape or form, would allow Jackson to present this letter to witnesses in front of the jury. She was very firm about that. Steve Meister read the letter in court and it appeared to be a letter that Pamela prepared beforehand to be read to her daughter in the event of her death.

Pamela Fayed’s sister Dawn Opoulos testified.

Afternoon session:

#2 Christina Holland – personal friend of Pamela’s
#3 Scott Goudie – brother of Pamela
#4 Shelbi Hamilton – personal friend of Pamela’s
#5 Greta Baught – oldest sister to Pamela

James Fayed and attorney

What the case is about and who is who in this criminal trial of James Fayed MURDER FOR HIRE

Opening Statements will be heard this morning in Dept. 109, Judge Kathleen Kennedy’s courtroom at the downtown Los Angeles Criminal Justice Center (CJC) in the murder-for-hire trial of James Fayed for the July 28, 2008 stabbing death of his wife, Pamela, in a Century City parking structure.

The Fayed’s were in the midst of a bitter divorce and fighting over control of their Camarillo-based gold trading business called Goldfinger Coin and Bullion Sales and an Internet firm, e-Bullion.

From my understanding, right before 6:30 pm, the Fayed’s had been in a meeting with defense attorneys regarding an FBI examination of their business enterprises. Witnesses looked on in horror as a man wielding a knife repeatedly slashed Pamela in the third floor of the parking garage. Paramedics arriving on the scene were unable to save her.

Prosecution team is Eric Harmon and Alan Jackson. Defense is Mark Werksman. Werksman’s co-counsel is Steve Meister, from Werksman’s office.

There are two special circumstance charges, financial gain and lying-in-wait which makes the defendant eligible for the death penalty. Prosecutors in Los Angeles County accuse Fayed of paying a former employee, Jose Luis Moya, 50, about $25,000 to arrange his wife’s slaying.

Stephanie Lazarus and Sherri Rae Rasmussen

The Stephanie Lazarus case will have a jury seated some time late spring or early summer of this year. This is a case I’ve kept my eye on as to when it would come to trial because I wanted to cover it in depth. The case was recently featured on NBC’s DATELINE and in May, 2010 on CBS’s 48 Hours Mystery. When the case broke back in 2009, true-crime writer Steve Huff wrote “…sounds like something out of detective fiction.”

Stephanie Lazarus, a 25-year veteran detective of the LAPD with a stellar career has been charged with the 1986 cold-case murder of Sherri Rae Rasmussen, a critical care nurse at Glendale Adventist Hospital and the recent bride of Lazarus’s ex-boyfriend, John Ruetten. Rasmussen was beaten and shot at her Van Nuys town house. Video equipment was stacked up on the living room floor near Rasmussen’s body and her car and wedding certificate were missing. Cash, jewelry and valuable items were left behind. Detectives at the time thought it was an interrupted robbery-gone-bad due to another robbery in the area a few weeks later. Despite repeated attempts by Rasmussen’s father that Sherri was being harassed by a female LAPD officer, the “botched robbery” investigation went nowhere and the case quickly went cold. The case was solved by DNA technology and a thorough reinvestigation by LAPD’s cold-case squad. Lazarus was arrested after a four-month investigation in June, 2009.

Sprocket emailed me today asking if we wanted to do lead ins on her coverage of this case and of course I answered her with a big YES…

Dr. Conrad Murray and Michael Jackson

This is an unedited, draft entry. Please refer to the MSM (mainstream media) for 100% accuracy. If you are copying and pasting to other web sites before the edit, please be sure to include a link-back to this specific entry and this disclaimer with your copy. Thank you, Sprocket.

#21 Christopher Rogers LA Co coroner Chief forensic medicine.
##22 Dr. Richard Lewis Ruffalo Clinical Anesthesiologist

Christopher Rogers

LA Co coroner. position. Chief forensic medicine. Supervise doctors who work at coroner’s office, and occasionally do autopsies himself.

Manner of death?

Homicide

Homicide based on what?

It was based primarily based on the info we had on the medical care MJ receded. The care was substandard.

Cross by Flanagan.

Now tell me, how do drugs get in to the heart blood?

Well, in this setting, propofol has to be administered intravenously, and so that blood circulates throughout the body.
.
So, an injection? Yes. Iv? Yes. Orally Yes.

But in the event that propofol were taken orally, that’s one way it could appear in the stomach? Yes, that’s a way it could appear in the stomach.

And if this is the hypothetical, of ingestion of propofol by the decedent, and ingestion of lydocaine, by the decedent, this would not be a homicide?

I would think it would still be a homicide. Based on the quality y of the medical of care, I would still consider it a homicide even if the Dr. did not give the propofol…

REDIRECT

Let’s assume that Dr. left him alone with the patient and the patient self administered, (snip; I don’t get the full hypothetical) you would still (rule it a homicide based on the standard of care.)

Yes.

Recross Flanagan

So, even if Dr. Murray gave more than 25 mg between 1040 and 10:50 we still have the same result that MJ would be awake at 11 o’clock?

Yes, assuming there was a single dose.

And that he would also be dead by 11 o’clock? ???

Richard Lewis Ruffalo

Anesthesiologist.

And what’s a clinical pharmacologist? That’s someone who studies drugs and how they are used.

So, he thinks the numbers of the benzodiazapams from the heart blood, he thinks reflect an injection/ingestion of a HIGHER dose than what Dr. Murray states he gave.

To read the rest of the first part of day five and for all of the detailed information as to what Sprocket heard and saw visit Trials and Tribulations.

http://sprocket-trials.blogspot.com/2011/01/dr-conrad-murray-prelim-day-6-part-i.html.

Postscript added by Sprocket 5:54 p.m.

This is an unedited, draft entry. Please refer to the MSM (mainstream media) for 100% accuracy. If you are copying and pasting to other web sites before the edit, please be sure to include a link-back to this specific entry and this disclaimer with your copy. Thank you, Sprocket.

Focusing on just those that you mentioned, who now become an extreme departure of care.

Yes.

So each individual, when you put them together, it becomes so egregious, that it becomes extreme. That any physician should know should be trained in the basics of life support.

Overall, identified several points of extreme deviation of care.

And addressed the one handed CPR on the bed. “Totally useless.”

One handed behind the back? It’s totally useless. You can’t get enough pressure to push down on the chest. We use that in neonatal. Describes what you should do with an adult in the bed. Describes how you get them out of the bed easily. Even if you claim you can’t move the person from the bed, the proper training would be to protect the head, slide the individual off the bed, and then be able to start chest compression.

Even if they are morbidly obese, you can generally do that…

Cross by Flannigan

45x what it is in the hospital blood. That doesn’t go with your theory.

Yes, I made a mistake.

Now if we have 45x whets in the stomach than what’s in the blood. then we have evidence of oral ingestion.

We may have to check with the coroner, to check with what the numbers mean. Now, it doesn’t make sense unless he ingested it orally.

So, we’re back to it being orally? Well, we’ll have to talk to the coroner.

It’s a big difference isn’t’ it?

I totally agree.

REDIRECT

Assuming self administration as Mr. F included, would any of your opinions change in your standard of care?

No. You don’t walk away from a patient. (explains in detail. Addicts, that is the first tip off, you don’t walk away, just like a heroin addict.)

The people rest their case.

No defense presented except a statement

Judge Pastor: Is the Attorney General present? (did JP ask that? I think they said they were!)

JP said he was ready to rule on that request (from the medical board).

This court has reviewed all the evidence the def motion to dismiss is denied. Appear 2 me of the evidence the offense has been committed, in order Dr Murray be held there for.

Ms. Saunders Medical board.

We’re appearing on behalf of director of the medical board, to provide justice and that as a condition of bail, that the defendant have restrictions on him as a condition of his bail not to be able to practice…

After trial, that this order to this defendant not practice and to show that an order of the safely to the public has been met.

Since the defendant held over, that there are restrictions on his license are in effect we further request that he be prevented from practicing here in California.

Judge Pastor: Increase the bail, court denies the request. Satisfied that the bail presently set, which is three times the presumptive bail (is sufficient (. Certainly recognize posture. court does have the ability to reconsider, I have done so and I am satisfied and shall remain.

This hearing has been a significant hearing as far as presentation and evidence and the rights of the defense to explore evidence presented and to underline the sufficiency of any case. The cross has been extensive probing and vigorous. There is no erroneous issue of a depravity issue.

So as I balance all of these factors under Eldridge and People vs. Ramirez, due process has been afforded Dr. Murray.

Circumstances have changed have changed dramatically, court finds extraordinary mandates to approving the request by the medical board.

So, he’s restricting the license or banning it all together. cites a case the overall consideration of the protection of the public, and I’m satisfied that non intervention at this time, does impose a danger to public safety.

In this case there is a direct nexus and connection between the actions of Dr. Murray, and a homicide. …and the fitness and competence to practice medicine.

In undertaking an issue of restrictions ct recognizes the standard of proof is not simple probable cause, the standard of proof the ct must utilize, there is clear and convincing proof that there is a certainly that sanctions are appropriate.

Immediately cease and desist from practicing in the state of California is now suspended by this court as a condition of bail.

They are to notify the appropriate authorities in other states within the next 24 hours.

Provide represite proof to this court, in the next 24 hours. to any and all licensing agencies where Dr. M holds a license.

Dr. Murray is not to practice in any other jurisdiction, in less he is so license.

Arraignment will be set two weeks from today. January 25th, at 8L30 A. M.

Nothing else?

Sprocket goes into detail, it is a great read and gives more information then what the main stream media has time to give. Be sure to keep up with all of the trials covered by Trials and Tribulation.

Witness #17 Stephen J. Marx, computer forensic examiner
Witness #18 Tim Lopez Las Vegas specialty pharmacy owner
#19 Jaime Lintemoot Senior criminologist. LA co dept of coroner’s office.
#20 Orlando Martinez city of LA robbery homicide.

I can’t remember who told me this (I think it was In Session’s correspondent Beth Karas but I’m NOT positive) but one of Dr. Murray’s attorneys is J. Michael Flanagan. Apparently, Flanagan is noted for achieving an acquittal for a defendant in another case involving propofol.

DDA Walgren: We will be calling toxicologists to the stand today or tomorrow. There will be summary report of that finding that will be introduced. No problem from the defense about that.

DDA stipulate that iPhone is the phone recovered on July 28th, 2009. All stipulate.

DDA discussed Marx’ background, employment on July 28th, 2009 Computer forensic examiner in the DEA. Now since retired. Was employed 7-8 years. responsible for extracting computer evidence and present it for evidence (at trial).

DDA Q: Did conduct analysis of this iPhone as related to the unallocated space.

Marx: Yes.

DDA Q: Did you find some screen shots?

Marx: Yes I did.

(Sprocket note: Clerical issue. Walgren restate numbering issue. Goes over the Exhibit numbers and what they are specifically. I check with reporter next to me who believes it was Conrad Murray denying the release of his medical records regarding Michael Jackson.)
