PRESS ASSOCIATION -- A casualty doctor has told the manslaughter trial of Michael Jackson's personal physician that he never mentioned giving the singer a powerful anaesthetic.

Dr Richelle Cooper resumed her evidence in Los Angeles as the trial of Dr Conrad Murray entered its second week.

She was on duty at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Centre the day Jackson died.

She has said she gave paramedics permission to pronounce the singer dead at his rented mansion, but he was brought to the hospital because Murray wanted resuscitation efforts to continue.

She said Murray told her he had given Jackson the sedative lorazepam but did not mention the anaesthetic propofol.

Murray denies giving Jackson a fatal dose of propofol and other sedatives.

Murray must have known that to mention he had administered Propofol by IV drip, he would be guilty of negligence, because no adequate precautions were in place at Jackson home.

A later witness testified that it would have made no difference if those attending had known that Propofol had been given. There is no "magic bullet" antidote.
