<p>Lawyers representing the doctor charged in Michael Jackson&#8217;s death have asked a judge to order testing on two syringes and an IV bag found in the pop singer&#8217;s home that they say are rapidly deteriorating.</p>
<p>The request comes after more than a month of private meetings between defence lawyers, prosecutors and the judge to try to reach an agreement about the testing.</p>
<p>Dr Conrad Murray&#8217;s defence team has expressed urgency, saying fluids in the items are deteriorating rapidly and have become &#8220;salt&#8221; in one of the syringes.</p>
<p>The tests they are seeking may determine the quantities of drugs in the items, which the cardiologist&#8217;s lawyers say could be crucial information during trial.</p>
<p>Attorney J Michael Flanagan said he submitted a motion on Wednesday asking a judge to order the testing after being unable to reach an agreement with prosecutors about the syringes. &#8220;We are running out of time,&#8221; Flanagan said.</p>
<p>Murray has pleaded not guilty to involuntary manslaughter in Jackson&#8217;s death in June 2009 at age 50. Authorities say he gave the singer a lethal dose of sedatives, including the anesthetic propofol and painkiller lidocaine.</p>
<p>Prosecutors have refused to agree to a testing plan. &#8220;We don&#8217;t think it is relevant,&#8221; prosecutor David Walgren said, according to a transcript.</p>
<p>Court transcripts show that Murray&#8217;s defence team, prosecutors and Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor have spoken in chambers three times about the syringes and testing.</p>
<p>Transcripts from the meetings show Murray&#8217;s team is willing to have the items tested by the Los Angeles coroner&#8217;s office. The fluids have degraded and it remained unknown whether the proposed testing will yield useful information, according to the transcripts.</p>
