From the "Sun", by Jason Johnson:

Explosive claims by a top Irish surgeon about the mystery death of Michael Jackson have been banned from US TV.

Defense lawyers had the footage pulled as they fight manslaughter charges against the King of Pop's LA doctor Conrad Murray.

The trial's start date has also been put back by four months as they seek out new witnesses.

Fermanagh-born cosmetic surgeon Patrick Treacy was Jackson's only doctor when he lived in Ireland in 2006 and 2007, and became friends with the superstar. He also treated him shortly before his death in 2009.

He claims the singer would never have self-administered powerful sedative propofol--which was found to have caused his death.

Dr. Treacy, director of Dublin's Ailesbury Clinic, is on the list of potential witnesses for the trial of US-based Dr. Murray for involuntary manslaughter.

Prosecutors claim Murray, 57, gave Jackson the lethal dose of propofol and then attempted to cover it up. Murray's lawyers say he's not guilty and Jackson gave the drug to himself.

But Dr. Treacy, 54, rubbished this explanation in a now-banned TV show recorded two months ago for the Discovery Channel.

In it the plastic surgeon, who has been interviewed by US detectives about the cases says, "Any time Michael used propofol with us it was always in the presence of an anesthetist and he always requested that."

"There was one time I had to go (to) Michael's house a few days before he was going to meet the Queen."

"After one of his procedures he had hyper-sensitivity in this area around his nose and would require sedation, I couldn't get an anesthetist that night."

Dr. Treacy offered an alternative which he could have administered without an anesthetist, but the singer wouldn't consider it.

The doctor said "There always had to be an anesthetist" adding that it "would seem unusual" for Jackson to die from administering heavy doses of propofol to himself."

------------------------------------------------------

One should also be asking (including the prosecution), considering Dr. Treacy's account, why would Michael supposedly consent to Murray giving him propofol when he is not anesthetist either? Was Michael aware or not of what was occurring to him under Murray's treatment? What did Michael want versus what did Murray do? What lies did Murray tell to Michael and did Michael really want Murray treating him and being his doctor or not? What proof is there that Michael, and not others, approved of Murray being Michael's primary doctor?
