DR CONRAD Murray, doctor of Michael Jackson, according to sources might face “involuntary manslaughter charge” in the case of the pop star’s death.
Seven months later after Michael Jackson died, the doctor has been called to Los Angeles Court to appear in the case reports said on Thursday.
Dr. Conrad Murray has said in a statement earlier that he did not give any such drug to Jackson which could have caused his death. Michael Jackson died June 25 at a rented mansion on the west side of Los Angeles after he consumed a “cocktail of dangerous prescription drugs” to treat a series of health problems that he was dealing with. Dr Murray has since been dealing with a team of defense attorneys to shield his stand in the case. One of the attorneys of Dr Conrad Ed Chernoff told press Wednesday that his client was ready to surrender to authorities in the event a charge is filed. "We are prepared for whatever occurs," Chernoff said. "We have time to meet and strategize for possible scenarios, but in reality we've had eight months to do that."The arrival of Murray and Chernoff in LA has led to a new round of speculation that a charge could be announced this week. "There's no joy in representing someone who shouldn't be charged in the first place," Chernoff said. "There's some truth to the proposition that the waiting is the hardest part." Police have been investigating Murray since Jackson's death at age 50. The doctor told detectives he'd given the singer powerful sedatives to get the chronic insomniac star to sleep. Jackson died soon after and investigators have been gathering evidence to try to show Murray was negligent in administering the drugs.
