Dr. Conrad Murray was texting to a stripper just hours before Michael Jackson died, reveals a prosecution motion filed Thursday.
According to the motion, Michelle Bella, a dancer at the Spearmint Rhino in Las Vegas, got a text from Murray at 8:30 a.m. on June 25, 2009 - about two and a half hours before he found the King of Pop unresponsive on a bed, reports the New York Daily News.
Prosecutors previously revealed that Murray, who was living with his stripper babymama Nicole Alvarez at the time, called Houston cocktail waitress Sade Anding at 11:51 that morning, about an hour after he admittedly gave his famous patient the powerful anesthetic propofol in an IV drip.
The star''s personal physical also received two unanswered calls from a third woman he met at the Vegas strip joint Cheetahs in 2003, prosecutors said.
The third girlfriend, Bridgette Morgan, was trying to reach Murray to discuss a plane ticket he promised to buy her during a lunch date earlier that month, court documents stated.
Prosecutors are asking the judge to allow evidence of Murray''s wild social life because they think it shows a pattern of "inattentiveness and distraction."
However, Murray''s defense has called the move prejudicial.
"Evidence which points to a defendant''s guilt is, by definition, prejudicial," the deputy district attorneys handling the case wrote in the motion.
Prosecutors also claimed Murray broke patient-confidentiality rules by bragging about his Jackson job to the alleged girlfriends but neglected to mention his personal phone communications during his first interview with police.
"He had a pattern of revealing confidential information when it suited him, but he was unwilling to reveal patient information at the most critical time," the DA motion stated.
"He was receiving personal phone calls during the hours when he was supposed to be completely focused on the care of Mr. Jackson," it added.
