One of the three girlfriends of Michael Jackson's physician revealed that Dr. Conrad Murray seemed busy the morning the pop king died.

Sade Anding, one of Murray's belles, told prosecutor that he dropped his cellphone right the moment he knew Jackson has died.

"Hello? Hello? Are you there? Hello?" Houston-based Anding recalled, after which she heard commotion and mumbling voices on the other line.

Prosecutors are trying to indict Murray on the death of Michael Jackson for involuntary manslaughter, by proving that he was preoccupied by personal matters that he failed to tend to Jackson.

According to Anding's testimony, Murray called her cell phone at around 11:51 a.m.

Prosecutors claimed that it took five minutes before the cardiologist found Jackson was slipping into unconsciousness.

Prosecutors alleged that Murray left Jackson on his bed after giving him surgery-strength anesthetic, enough to kill him with overdose.

Las Vegas stripper Michelle Bella, another of Murray's paramours, was also at the witness stand, saying Murray sent her a text in the morning of June 25, 2009.

Another mistress, stripper Nicole Alvarez, 29, also testified.

According to prosecutors, Murray injected Jackson with the anesthetic propofol after he noticed that he was distress and to put him to sleep that morning.  

Murray then left Jackson's bedside to make personal calls. He, however, failed to provide him with adequate medical monitoring equipment.

It was also found that Murray spent another 32 minutes over the phone for his medical practice.

He also spent time sending emails regarding his contract that should have made him Jackson's personal physician for his supposed comeback tour.

He could have gotten paid $150,000 a month had Jackson survived and the tour pushed through.

By 12:05 - 12:10 p.m., Murray hurried downstairs, calling Jackson's personal chef, Kai Chase, to ask for help. 

A bodyguard immediately hastened to Jackson's side.

Prosecutors, however, alleged that the doctor asked him to keep any medical evidences in bags  before telling him to call 911 around 12:20 p.m.

Murray confirmed that he prescribed propofol  to Jackson, which the singer considered as his milk while he was suffering from insomnia.

Lawyer Ed Chernoff, however, said that even just a small amount of propofol was enough to kill Jackson in minutes.

He even argued that when Murray was out of the room, it might be that Jackson got up and administered himself extra propofol, thus, creating a "perfect storm" that killed him instantly.

A medic who hastened to Jackson's home, together with two medical professionals, who tried to revive Jackson, however, said that Murray denied injecting the singer with propofol when they asked him if he had given anything to King of Pop.
