1. I am v.suspicious of Murray's actions the day MJ died...

...a decent doctor, and certainly a knowledgeable cardiologist, would have acted quite differently (and more quickly in calling paramedics) than he did. And, he disappeared for 2-3 days - returning all lawyered up.

To me, it says "I'm guilty" (of something...)

[tridim]

2. Why didn't the DEA search Rush's doctor's clinic?

And why isn't the ACLU defending MJ's privacy?

Not dissing the ACLU, but it seems kind of strange.

4. what do you mean michael jackson's privacy?

[truthisfreedom]

3. They waited long enough.

Evidence is probably long-gone.

Michael Jackson's Doctor Under Investigation on Possible 'Manslaughter' Charges
ABC News First On the Scene as Officials Raid Conrad Murray's Houston Office
By GINA SUNSERI, VIC WALTER and BRIAN ROSS
July 22, 2009

Michael Jackson's doctor, Conrad Murray, is under investigation for possible manslaughter, according to his lawyer.

Following a morning raid of Murray's Houston office by federal drug agents and Los Angeles police detectives, his attorney Ed Chernoff said a search warrant "authorized law enforcement to search for and seize items, including documents, they believed constituted evidence of the offense of manslaughter."

ABC News was first on the scene this morning as officials raided Murray's office.

A caravan of 15 cars arrived at the office on Montgomery Road in Houston shortly after 10:20 (CST). More than two dozen DEA agents, Los Angeles police detectives and Houston uniformed officers, all wearing raid jackets, were among those on the scene.

7. Murray was hired to be the "road show" doctor and write prescriptions

I bet he didn't know how bad off the king of pop was in the first place

[JayMusgrove]

8. Yes, his behavior was very unrealistic for a physician, or even for a

nurse or EMT.

[Lagomorph]

22. I'm sure anybody he talked to...

told him to lawyer up. Jackson died under he "care."

Anybody could see a shitstorm coming.

Just the same, they hired an enabler, to get him through the tour, not somebody to look after his health.

[Triana]

23. "they hired an enabler, to get him through the tour, not somebody to look after his health."

Exactly. It's written that MJ chose Murray - don't know how true that is or if Murray was rec'd to him by someone else. But as you say, he was chosen to "get MJ through" the concerts - not necessarily to take care of his health. Any doc concerned with taking care of his health would have NEVER given him Diprovan, at least. Some money-grubbing doc from NY apparently did the same during MJ's Germany tour years ago - put him down, get him up - every day.

It's what MJ wanted, I guess - and docs were all too damn happy to enable this.

Jeeeeeeeeeeze. :puke:

Those f*cking hollywood docs are nothing but drug pushers anyway, just after lots of $.

I doubt many of the folks around MJ gave a damn about his health. They probably figured "heck, just put a stick up his spine and stand him up - but just GET HIM UP THERE and keep him there long enough for us to get our money!"

This brand of GREED is what killed the man.

[beachmom]

9. The guy is definitely looking like a quack.

We shall see what they come up with.

[Politicalboi]

10. Well good luck with that

MJ's house wasn't sealed the day he died by police. Anybody could have done anything to any evidence. I don't know about the doctors computer files, that could show something, but the cops didn't seal off the property. This is like the Ramsey case in a way. People in the house before the police sealed the property. I can't beileve the cops fucked this up. There was supposed video of the grounds the day he died, but now those tapes are missing.

13. Do we know the results of the autoopsy?

Bet you they reported they didn't find anything so they could nab the guy.

[davidpdx]

18. Any good defense attorney is going to be able to poke holes

in a case against him given the fact the scene wasn't secured. It probably isn't worth going after charging him and the whole thing is going to turn into a media circus anyway.

[shaniqua6392]

11. A cardiologist that leaves a victim on a bed while performing CPR

is a friggin moron. This thing stinks to high heaven. The police must know something already from the autopsy results that has prompted the search warrant. We will find out soon enough.

[Triana]

12. That is *exactly* my opinion - a cardiologist, of all people...

..should know better.

:wtf:

[NeoConsSuck]

17. I think he was long gone when the phone call was made

I think he died during the night, and he was long gone and cold by the time the phone call was made. The whole nonsense about MJ being in a coma when brought to the hospital was one big lie. That was just to give time to notify family members and others etc..

Obviously, I have no proof of this, just a hunch.

[Triana]

24. MJ had a faint heartbeat when Murray found him. He was unconscious but still alive..

....supposedly, according to what has been written. I hadn't heard about any coma - only that they were trying to get his heart started again, thus "cardiac arrest". But, maybe that means the same thing.

I cannot BELIEVE the stupid moron took 20-30 MINUTES to call paramedics. If it were me that'd have been the FIRST thing I'd have done, along with getting someone to help me get him ON THE FLOOR to do CPR - then get someone else to talk to 911 while that was going on. There is NO TIME to waste - not ONE SECOND in a situation like this.

This guy is a DOCTOR?

Pfft!

[southern_belle]

14. If they find MJ did have Diprovan (sp?)

in his system, Murray is toast! That is not a medication that you can even get a prescription for - it's only given as anesthesia during surgery at a hospital/clinic. I would imagine just possessing that medication out of the hospital will be his a** (if they found some on him or in his car).

JMO - I had never heard of "Diprovan" before this. :shrug:

[Faryn Balyncd]

15. It looks like, for $100K/month he met MJ's craving for general anesthesia, & did so W/O AMBU BAG!

MJ's dermatologist has already said he found out that MJ had been using Diprivan when he toured Germany. Klein saqid he warned MJ about Diprivan.

http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1615599/20090709/jackson_michael.jhtml


There was a anesthesiologist from New York that accompanied MJ while on tour in Germany.

I guess MJ is the first to tour with his own anesthesiologist to treat his insomnia with general anesthesia.

I would imagine that Klein's "warnings" occurred in the context of refusing MJ's requests for Diprivan.

Putting everything together, it looks like $100K/month was the price to hire a failed cardiologist to administer Diprivan IV, but that the guy they hired DID NOT BRING AN AMBU BAG!!!!








Here's an interview where Klein states that an anesthesiologist was administering Diprivan in Germany to put MJ to sleep!

And here's the name of the anesthesiologist who accompanied MJ on his German tour:

16. MJ's dermatologist was not very professional in my biew

He was on with Larry King just talking away abbout all the drugs he knew that Michael was taking ~ said Michael had lupus and on and on.

That is not professional!

19. EEEHee

:woohoo: :hi:

[ecstatic]

20. Good...but why 15 cars? nt

[anneboleyn]

21. Well, I for one am irritated that our tax money is being spent on something like this -- especially

when we have very serious issues to worry about such as healthcare, etc., not Michael Jackson and his doctor and his drug habits.
