Kenny Ortega, Michael Jacskon's producer/director for "This Is It," was the first to testify, stating on June 20, Murray was upset that Kenny sent Michael home from rehearsal on June 19. Ortega said Murray felt only he should make such decisions.

Also, Ortega said Murray said during the June 20 meeting at Michael's home that Michael was "physically and emotionally fine", even though Ortega said Michael had the chills and was not well during the failed rehearsal the day before.

The June 20 meeting at Michael's home is important for prosecutors, who claim it shows Murray did not care about Michael's health. 

Ortega also testified that June 23 and 24 were "two wonderful days of rehearsal" and that Michael was happy and healthy. So that Jackson wasn't in distress on June 24.

He continued: "He didn't look well at all. Michael was chilled and soft-spoken. He wasn't in the kind of condition to be at rehearsal".
