<p>A paramedic sent to Michael Jackson&#8217;s mansion said he saw the doctor charged in the singer&#8217;s death scoop up three bottles of lidocaine from the floor and place the vials in a bag during efforts to revive the pop star.</p>
<p>Paramedic Martin Blount testified he was surprised to see the bottles because Dr Conrad Murray had told paramedics he hadn&#8217;t given Jackson any drugs.</p>
<p>He said Murray also produced a hypodermic needle at one point and wanted to use it on the singer. Mr Blount said he and fellow paramedics refused.</p>
<p>The medic is the seventh witness called at a multi-day preliminary hearing after which a judge will determine whether there is enough evidence for Murray to stand trial for involuntary manslaughter. The Houston-based cardiologist has pleaded not guilty.</p>
<p>On Wednesday, Jackson&#8217;s friend and choreographer Kenny Ortega described how the King of Pop appeared sick during a rehearsal six days before his death and left early. The rehearsals were for a series of planned comeback concerts in London.</p>
<p>Mr Ortega said after that incident, Murray &#8220;was upset that I had sent Michael home the night before and didn&#8217;t allow him to rehearse&#8221;.</p>
<p>The hearing provided another glimpse into the private life of Jackson, who grew reclusive after his acquittal on child molestation charges in 2005.</p>
<p>Murray was providing Jackson propofol roughly six times a week since being hired as the singer&#8217;s personal physician in May 2009, Mr Walgren said.</p>
<p>Another bodyguard, Faheem Muhammad, testified that he saw Jackson lying on his bed. He described Murray as panicked and said the doctor asked whether anyone knew CPR.</p>
<p>The hearing was expected to include testimony from police, coroner&#8217;s officials and forensic experts who will describe the mix of sedatives found in Jackson&#8217;s system. Preliminary hearings have a lower burden of proof than trials, and defence attorneys rarely present a case. Murray&#8217;s attorney, Ed Chernoff, did not make an opening statement.</p>
