Instead, Murray went for chest compressions,&amp;#160; which MJ wouldn't have needed if he was still\nbreathing.&lt;br /&gt;* When Murray did finally call for help, he phoned MJ's assistant ... which caused further delay. &lt;br /&gt;* Steinberg told the jury that \"for every minute of delay there's less and less chance the patient will survive.\"&lt;br /&gt;* Steinberg called Murray's behavior \"bizarre.\"&lt;br /&gt;* Murray did not take notes. This is important, not only for insurance and legal purposes, but also to make sure everything is documented so that no mistakes are made. &lt;br /&gt;* Steinberg said Murray's breeches in care \"directly contributed to the untimely death of Michael Jackson.\" &lt;br /&gt;* Steinberg condemned Murray for leaving the singer alone unsupervised, saying \"it's like leaving a baby that's sleeping on your kitchen countertop,\"&lt;br /&gt;* He said, according to the transcripts, Murray gave MJ a drip of Propofol the night he died ... in ADDITION to the 25 mg. he gave him initially. &lt;br /&gt;(&lt;span id=\"articleText\"&gt;during cross-examination, Murray's lawyer argued Murray never mentioned when describing the night of June 25th. After an long\nback-and-forth, Steinberg shrugged, \"Can we agree to\ndisagree?\"&lt;/span&gt;)&lt;br /&gt;* Murray's lawyers asked Steinberg if it was possible Murray left the room for more than two minutes ... suggesting the doc may have had his timetable confused. &lt;br /&gt;* Dr. Steinberg made it clear ... MJ would be alive today if Murray had simply called 911 right away.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
