Michael Jackson's Doctor to Be Charged With
Involuntary Manslaughter... After months of delay.
News Archives 2009 - Michael Jackson’s personal physician will be
charged with manslaughter within the next two weeks, a law enforcement
source told FOXNews.com.
The source initially said Dr. Conrad Murray could be arrested as soon as
next Wednesday — but investigators have decided to execute one more search
warrant, likely at a Los Angeles pharmacy, next week in an attempt to gather
more evidence against him. The arrest is now expected the following week.
Murray isn’t the only doctor who faces criminal charges in connection with
Jackson's death on June 25. A law enforcement source told FOXNews.com that
Jackson’s longtime dermatologist, Dr. Arnold Klein, will be hit with charges
related to medical malpractice. Investigators are still building their case
against Klein, and he will not be arrested for at least another two weeks,
the source said.
Jane Robison, spokeswoman for the Los Angeles County District Attorney's
office, denied that prosecutors had decided to charge Jackson's physicians.
“Until police complete their investigation and bring it to our office, there
is no way to know what charges may be filed and against whom,” she said.
But the source told FOXNews.com that the DA's office is currently in talks
with investigators about whether they will offer Murray the option of
surrendering in Los Angeles, or if he will be arrested in Houston, where he
is currently staying.
Investigators initially had hoped to charge Murray with a more serious crime
than manslaughter — a defendant may be charged with second degree murder in
California without the presence of a motive — but prosecutors are concerned
that a jury will be unlikely to convict without one, sources said. Unless a
"smoking gun" is found in next week’s search, Murray will be charged with
manslaughter.
Law enforcement sources previously told FOXNews.com that Murray admitted he
gave the King of Pop the intravenous anesthetic propofol to help him sleep
just hours before his death — and that propofol was at least a contributing
factor in the 50-year-old entertainer's death.
Murray posted a video on YouTube Tuesday that his legal team said was
intended to be seen by his friends and patients. The video, which was
Murray’s idea, was shot last Wednesday at a Houston residence, a spokeswoman
for his attorneys said.
Sirius Video, a Houston production company, was hired to film the
cardiologist's first public words since Jackson’s death. But a company
spokeswoman would not say who bankrolled the video. Murray is reportedly
broke; his latest money troubles involve possible eviction from his Las
Vegas home.
In the one- minute video, a bedraggled and teary-eyed Murray thanked his
friends and supporters and said he has been unable to check his e-mail or
return phone calls due to death threats.
“I want to thank all of my patients and friends who have sent such kind
e-mails, letters and messages to let me know of your support and prayers for
me and my family," Murray said.
"Because of all that is going on I’m afraid to return phone calls or use my
e-mail. Therefore I recorded this video to let all of you know that I have
been receiving your messages. I have not been able to thank you personally,
which you know is not normal for me.
“Your messages give me strength and courage and keep me going. They mean the
world to me.
“Please don’t worry. As long as I keep God in my heart and you in my life, I
will be fine. I have done all I could do. I told the truth and I have faith
the truth will prevail.”
A spokeswoman for Murray’s legal team said the video was simply Murray’s way
of thanking his supporters, and that the doctor’s friends and supporters who
had provided contact information to the attorneys received an e-mail with
the link to the YouTube video yesterday.
But others said the video was Murray’s "last testament" — a transparent
attempt to garner sympathy and influence a jury pool.
“This was a total PR stunt,” said former Broward County prosecutor Kenneth
Padowitz.
“I think what they’re trying to do is humanize him, trying to make him seem
like this is somebody that maybe you could know and this is not a bad
guy—that’s what they’re trying to do,” Padowitz said. “And for that limited
purpose, it probably was effective….
“Is it a transparent attempt to get feelings in his favor? Yeah. It’s a
gimmick.”
Padowitz said the video was certainly intended for widespread viewing,
despite what Murray’s legal team says. And having his only statement come in
a video format allowed for total control over what he said.
“They did it this way so there could be no questioning by a reporter, no
cross examination by anyone, or anyone asking a question he could not
answer," Padowitz said. "They just basically put out a PR piece.”
Klein, a Beverly Hills dermatologist, has admitted giving the painkiller
Demerol — but not propofol — to Jackson, who suffered from insomnia. Klein
has said he found out that Jackson was taking Diprivan, the brand name of
propofol, to sleep when he was touring in Germany and warned his longtime
friend of the dangers surrounding the intravenous anesthetic.
Last month the Los Angeles coroner issued Klein a subpoena to turn over all
of Jackson’s medical records.
Klein also inserted himself into court proceedings related to custody issues
involving Jackson’s three children.
In a statement linked to on Klein's Twitter account earlier this month, his
attorney wrote: “Dr. Klein has always had a special relationship with Paris
Katherine and Prince Michael, loves and cares deeply for these children and
is looking out for their best interest. Dr. Klein has been involved with the
children in sharing holidays and other special events and wishes to have the
ability to continue his involvement as a very close friend of their father
and offers his guidance and protection forever.”
