Homicide? The Los Angeles Police Department is treating Michael Jackson's death as a homicide and is focusing on doctor Conrad Murray, entertainment website TMZ.com reported on Wednesday.
The pop icon's family has spoken of “unanswered questions” concerning Murray's role in the final hours of Jackson's life. Murray's lawyers insist he has been cleared of wrongdoing.
TMZ, citing “multiple” law enforcement sources, said “the evidence points to the anesthesia Propofol as the primary cause of Jackson's death.”
Law enforcement sources told TMZ there was already “plenty of powerful evidence” pointing to Murray, 51, as the person who administered the drug, whose brand name is Diprivan, to the “King of Pop.”
The evidence, TMZ said, includes items found in Jackson's rented mansion, including Propofol, an IV stand and an oxygen tank.

I knew it would be a long time before we heard the end of Jackson drug involvement, but homicide was something I hadn't considered. Not sure I consider it now -- were hid doctors written into his will? Or in cahoots with someone who was?
Curious....

If the guy screwed up and prescribed something he shouldn't have, he would, I suspect, be liable for a trial.
The charge, as I understand it, would most likely be manslaughter (homicide implying intent) but, I believe it is common to start higher and then downgrade the charge.
Not a lawyer by any stretch, obviously. |
Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

Hell, Michael was on 10 Xanax a day. Anybody who has used Xanax, even for a short period of time, knows that getting off xanax is not easy. The first couple of days the symptoms come back that the drug was intended to alleviate. So you don't know whether you still have the problem or whether it is just a lack of the drug. Fortunately, in my case, it was just a lack of the drug. Never again.
I think Michael through his excessive dependence on prescription medicines was killing himself. Asking for diprovan? |
