Disturbing Recording of Michael Jackson Weeks Before His Death Revealed During Trial

Today, I finally found a chance to catch up on the manslaughter trial of Michael Jackon's former personal physician, Dr. Conrad Murray. The trial began yesterday, and now that I have seen pictures and heard audio, I have that "weird" feeling. You know, the one that you get when you hear disturbing news, or see haunting photos from the past. From pictures of Michael Jackson on a gurny right after he was pronounced dead, to audio of the pop star just weeks before his death it was all a bit overwhelming, and today is only Day 2 of the trial.

During the opening portions of the court case, in which the prosecution and defense delivered their opening statements, disturbing postmortem photos of Michael Jackson were put on display. A very sad recording of Jackson that was taped just weeks before his death was also played, in which the singer can be heard slurring his words heavily.
