A defense attorney in Dr. Conrad Murray's trial on Thursday accused the lead coroner's office investigator of making numerous mistakes in the investigation of Michael Jackson’s death, including leaving her fingerprint on a key piece of evidence.
During an occasionally testy cross-examination, the lawyer for Jackson's physician suggested that the investigator, Elissa Fleak, was sloppy in collecting evidence and writing a report the medical examiner relied on in reaching his conclusion that the death was a homicide.
Conrad Murray witnesses: Who's who
“Would you agree that you made a substantial number of mistakes?” attorney Ed Chernoff asked.
“No,” Fleak replied.
She acknowledged she couldn’t explain how her thumbprint got on a syringe on Jackson's nightstand.
“I typically wear gloves. I always wear gloves at crime scenes,” she said under questioning by a prosecutor.
