THE saga continues....
The pharmacist, Tim Lopez,
who supplied Michael Jackson’s
doctor, Conrad Murray, with 255
vials of propofol during the three
months leading up to the King of
Pop’s death, has taken the stand
in court to testify that he was
unaware that Jackson was
Murray’s only patient.
Lopez’s testimony is part of a
prosecution case against Murray
who is facing manslaughter
charges over Michael Jackson’s
2009 fatal overdose.
According to Lopez, he
believed that the propofol was
destined for Murray’s practice,
and at one stage offered to
personally drop it off whilst on a
trip nearby the ‘practice’ address
but was told by Murray to just
“Fed Ex it the way we normally do”.
As it turns out the drug was
being delivered to Murray’s
apartment where his mistress lived.
IF that’s a micro, what does a
macro look like?
A piglet bred and sold as a
designer ‘micro pig’ has
surprised its owner by growing
into a massive 18 stone beast.
The trend of selectively
breeding pigs the size of teacups
has gathered momentum in the
last few years, particularly with
inner city dwellers who would
like a pet that can be
accommodated in smaller
residences, doesn’t shed hair
and can be house trained.
The owners of the now 18
stone ‘micro’ pig named Nessa
have had to re-home their beloved
porker after she outgrew their dog!
THE price of freedom = one kidney.
Two sisters, Jamie and Gladys
Scott, who were gaoled for life
for their part in a robbery which
netted them US$7, have been
released from a Mississippi gaol,
after Gladys offered to donate
one of her kidneys to Jamie.
The release comes after 16
years behind bars and will save
the state US$202,493 per year
in dialysis fees for the daily
treatment required by Jamie.
