14 DAY TRIAL // Much has been said about the part Michael Jackson’s personal doctors might have played in his year-long drug addiction and, ultimately, death. However, until now, police could come up with nothing against them, despite the ongoing speculation and damning reports. The other day, the DEA and LAPD officers descended to Dr. Conrad Murray’s offices to search for evidence of manslaughter in the Jackson case, TMZ informs.
Police spent several hours at Murray’s offices in Houston, looking for medical records of the late King of Pop and any other proof that might indicate that the doctor was, indeed, feeding Jackson’s drug addiction by getting him prescription pills. Moreover, as fans must remember, Murray is also believed to have been the one who injected Michael with Propofol, the powerful anesthetic that is said to have made his heart stop. As of now, police have not confirmed this report yet.
TMZ got to talk to Murray’s attorney who, although denying in the past his client had supplied Michael with the powerful drug, is now confirming he is suspected of manslaughter. “We can confirm that a search warrant was executed today on Dr. Murray’s offices in Houston, Texas. We reviewed the warrant and remained on the premises while the search was being executed. The search was conducted by members of the DEA, two Robbery – Homicide detectives from the Los Angeles Police Department and Houston Police officers.” the official statement reads.
“The search warrant authorized law enforcement to search for and seize items, including documents, they believed constituted evidence of the offense of manslaughter. Law enforcement concluded their search around 12:30pm, and left with a forensic image of a business computer hard drive and 21 documents. None of the documents taken had previously been requested by law enforcement or the L.A. Coroner’s office.” it is further said.
Murray has not yet made any comment on the recent raid but, in the past, he was said to have been very uncooperative with police officers in releasing medical records pertaining to Michael Jackson. At the same time, the investigation is centering on finding the supplier for the few empty vials of Propofol found in Jackson’s home at the time of his death, the aforementioned source says.
