Shocking details from MJ trial

As the manslaughter trial continues of Michael Jackson's doctor, Conrad Murray, more and more details are emerging about what really went on in the final hours of the iconic singer's life.

So far we have heard that the eldest two of Michael's children, Paris and Prince, reportedly witnessed the doctor trying in vain to revive their father.

There had been rumours that the children were desperate to take to the stand and testify as part of the case, but so far it is unknown whether this will be allowed due to their age and fragile emotional state.

The doctor is facing charges of administering a fatal dose of the drug Propofol but his defence team maintain that the singer took the drug behind the doctor's back.

Yesterday saw the late singer's assistant testify that doctor Murray was very anxious about retrieving a 'cream' from Michael's bedroom after his death. He allegedly told the assistant that Michael would not have wanted the world to know that he was using the cream.

The assistant then claimed that the cream in question was a skin whitening agent, of which over 30 tubes were reportedly found in Michael's home.

The trial continues.
