The third day of Dr. Conrad Murray’s preliminary hearing involved the testimony of two paramedics, as well as scrutiny of Murray’s phone activities the day of Michael Jackson’s death.  Paramedics Martin Blount and Michael Senneff testified that Jackson had been dead several minutes by the time they arrived at his mansion.  Complicating matters further were the throngs of fans and paparazzi crowding the vicinity, making it nearly impossible for the ambulance driver to make his way to the hospital.  Blount and Senneff agreed that Murray was not forthright about the medications given to Jackson prior to their arrival.  In other testimony, two phone company representatives reported how in the hours before and after Jackson’s death, Murray texted and phoned a number of people, but failed to dial 911.  Stay tuned…
