Arrest Imminent for Michael Jackson's Doctor?

By PopEater Staff Posted Feb 2nd 2010 04:44PM

Conrad Murray, the doctor who gave Michael Jackson what turned out to be a lethal dose of drugs, is facing an imminent arrest, according to media reports. TMZ is reporting that Murray plans on surrendering on Wednesday morning, while RadarOnline is reporting that Murray has been meeting with his legal team for several days working out the terms of his potential defense if and when the case goes to court.

TMZ reports that Murray will be charged with involuntary manslaughter for the death of Jackson.

Murray was at Jackson's side on June 25, and gave the King of Pop a lethal dose of Propofol -- a powerful anesthetic often used in surgery.

The timeline after that final dose of Propofol is what has caused many to be suspicious of Murray's involvement in Jackson's death. According to police reports, Murray gave Jackson the drug at 10:40, and noticed he had stopped breathing at 11 a.m. However, it wasn't until 12:20 that a 911 call was placed reporting the medical emergency. During that 80 minutes, Murray made three other private phone calls that totaled 47 minutes.

Murray has maintained that nothing he did that day would have led to the death of Jackson, despite the fact that the Los Angeles Coroner's Office found lethal levels of the drug in the music legend's body.

A law enforcement official told the Associated Press on Tuesday that Murray will be charged with manslaughter rather than taking the case to a grand jury.

"Dr. Murray is in Los Angeles for a dual purpose - on family business and to be available for law enforcement," said
spokeswoman Miranda Sevcik. "We're trying to be as cooperative as we can ... We continue to maintain that Dr. Murray neither prescribed nor administered anything that should have killed Michael Jackson," Sevcik said.

Murray was brought on as Jackson's personal physician in the run-up to Michael's marathon schedule of concerts in London.

DARRELL- And your DUMB ASS can't spell Toriano Jackson's nickname correctly. Also insensitive. Spelled TITO, you JERK.

Believe me folks nothing will happen to this doctor.... Not that a little Dr Tiller justice isn't in place. We live in a country where doctors get away with murder... and not of just the unborn babies either.... Consider for instance who gave Elvis the drugs that finally killed him; what happened to the doctor(s)?... Nothing!!!

Armchair detectives are at work on this story.....Clearly this case is high profile because it was Michael Jackson. But after months and millions of dollars used to investigate the bottom line is, is that Murray acted unethical, but I doubt he killed MJ. This so called timeline is very explainable, MJ was sleeping. Murray admitted giving him other medications during the hours before MJs death, but who is to say that MJ didn't do a little dabbling on his own in between what Murray did and what he did himself ?

barbie- how can one "dabble" while unconscious?
