Michael Flanagan&lt;/strong&gt;, was questioning a Senior Criminalist from the L.A. County Coroner's Office about the 70 grams of fluid found in MJ's stomach at the time of the autopsy ... fluid that tested positive for traces of Propofol. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Flanagan noted the presence of a juice box on MJ's nightstand ... and asked if it had been tested for Propofol ... raising the possibility that MJ was sippin' on the anesthetic shortly before he died. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The criminalist testified he had not tested the juice box. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So what's Flanagan's point? He might be suggesting that MJ was secretly self-administering his Propofol ... which would support Murray's defense theory that MJ accidentally caused his own overdose. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt=\"0104_break_mj\" src=\"http://ll-media.tmz.com/2011/01/04/0104-break-mj.jpg\" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;\n&lt;strong&gt;\n&lt;span style=\"color: #d1250d; font-size: 18px;\"&gt;Dr. Murray Ordered a Boatload of Propofol for MJ&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=\"color: #b1b1b1; font-size: 110%;\"&gt;Updated 1/10/11 at 12:05pm&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;\n&lt;a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.tmz.com/videos?autoplay=true&amp;amp;mediaKey=5e9899b3-533b-4b57-aa68-a54e1ee8b6ad\"&gt;&lt;img style=\"float: right;\" alt=\"0110_murray_vid_launch_prelim_3\" src=\"http://ll-media.tmz.com/2011/01/10/0110-murray-vid-launch-prelim-3-credit.jpg\" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;A\n pharmacist Dr. Murray used to order Propofol just testified the doctor \nordered box after box of the drug in the two months before Michael \nJackson's death.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tim Lopez&lt;/strong&gt;, a pharmacist at&lt;strong&gt; Applied Pharmacy Services&lt;/strong&gt;\n in Las Vegas, said beginning on April 6, 2009, Dr. Murray began \nordering large quantities of Propofol.
