Thursday, the third day of trial in Dr. Conrad Murray‘s involuntary manslaughter case, a witness testified that Michael Jackson‘s daughter, Paris, witnessed her father’s death.

Alberto Alvarez, a member of Jackson’s security team at his home, testified that while Dr. Murray tried unsuccessfully to resuscitate Jackson, his daughter screamed for him. ”Paris screamed out, ‘Daddy!’ ” Alvarez said. ”She was crying.”

Alvarez saw Jackson lying with his palms up, his eyes slightly open and his mouth agape. As Dr. Murray gave him chest compressions, he yelled, ”Don’t let them see their dad like this.”

Prince and Paris were crying when Alvarez said,”‘Kids, don’t worry, we’ll take care of it. Everything’s going to be okay.’ Then I asked Dr. Murray what happened and he said, ‘He had a bad reaction.’ ”

Later in the day, Kai Chase, Jackson’s personal chef, testified about the children’s response, too. ”The children were crying and screaming and the next thing we did was we started hugging, we held hands and we stared praying,” Chase testified. “We didn’t know what was going on but the energy in this house did not feel good,” she said.

All of this is terribly sad. I’ve been watching the trial daily and it’s so hard to see those testifying try and keep it together.
