Lawyers for Dr Conrad Murray have stepped back from claims that Michael Jackson (swallowed) a fatal dose of propofol when he was out of sight.
The(claim) had been a key argument in Dr Murray's defence against charged over the superstar's death. They may still argue he injected the dose himself.
The change came a day after the doctor who performed Jackson's autopsy said he could not have self-administered it.
Dr Murray has pleaded not (guilty) to involuntary manslaughter.
If convicted Dr Murray could face up to four years in prison and the loss of his medical licence.
Both the (prosecution) and Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor appeared surprised by Wednesday's disclosure, reports said.
