Michael Jackson's former personal chef takes the stand, on the third day of the trial of Dr. Conrad Murray.
He is charged with involuntary manslaughter in the death of the pop star.
In court, witnesses described a chaotic scene at the singer's mansion on the day he died.
Jackson's personal chef described Murray's behaviour as frantic.
(SOUNDBITE) (English) KIA CHASE, MICHAEL JACKSON'S FORMER CHEF, SAYING:
"His energy was very nervous and frantic and he was shouting. (Prosecutor asking what did he shout?) Get help, get security, get Prince. (Prosecutor saying and what did you do in response to Dr. Murray shouting, get help, get Prince, get security.) I dropped what I was doing and I ran to go get Prince."
Prince is one of pop star's children.
Prosecutors claim that Murray not only caused Jackson's death by giving him the powerful anesthetic propofol as a sleep aid, but that he also failed to get timely medical assistance when finding him unresponsive.
Murray has admitted giving Jackson the drug but denied he is responsible for his death.
If convicted, Murray could face up to four years in prison.
