People vs. Dr. Conrad Murray Kenny Ortega: "Something Was Wrong" With MJ

Michael Jackson's friend and choreographer, Kenny Ortega, just took the stand for the prosecution -- claiming Michael was ill in the days leading to his death ... and Dr. Murray berated him when he expressed concern. * Ortega -- creator and director of "This Is It" -- says Michael was "very excited" about the show. * Ortega said in mid to late June, 2009 Michael missed several rehearsals. * On Friday June 19th, Ortega noticed Michael "wasn't right" and that something was going on. Ortega said it "troubled him." He said Michael seemed lost and was "incoherent." * Ortega says he sat with Michael as he watched the rehearsals -- rubbing Michael's feet because the singer was freezing cold. Michael left early that day. * Ortega says he was so worried about Michael, he sent an email to AEG Live CEO Randy Phillips (below) -- saying Michael needed psychological help.
