MJ的私人医生将会在两周内被逮捕，并被控过失杀人罪，消息人士告诉FOXNews.com说。
消息人士最初说Conrad Murray医生最快将于下周三被逮捕，但调查员决定再执行一张搜查令，搜查他在LA的药房，以累积更多的证据。 再下一周，他将被逮捕。
执法部门的官员还告诉说，MJ的皮肤科医生Arnold Klein也将被逮捕，并将面临医疗渎职的起诉。调查员正在建立针对Klein的案子，但还需要两周以上的时间才会逮捕他。
LA地方检察官办公室正在与调查人员谈判，是否让Murray能选择到LA来自首，或者他将在休斯顿被逮捕。
调查人员最初希望能够指控Murray犯有比过失杀人更严重的罪行： 二级谋杀。但由于现在查不到医生的动机，所以陪审团将来将无法定罪医生犯有“谋杀”。除非下周的搜查能找到“确凿证据”，否则这个医生就只会被控“过失杀人”。
执法部门的线人说，该医生已经承认他在MJ死前给MJ注射了麻醉药以帮助其睡眠。这是导致MJ死亡的原因之一。
该医生昨天把一段视频放在网上，在其中他感谢了他的支持者。但前任检察官Kenneth Padowitz指出，这是Murray在进行公关表演，以博取将来的陪审团的同情。

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.
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.
The Los Angeles District Attorney’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.

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.” |
