Jacksons v AEG Timeline Legal
Jacko doc docs released
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 23 November 2009
Those documents relating to searches undertaken by police investigating the death of Michael Jackson have been released, despite a request from the LAPD to keep them sealed until the New Year.
Various US news agencies had been pushing the courts to release the documents, though they are probably a bit disappointed by what is in them, with no great new revelations on offer. What they do show is that Jackson’s private doctor, Conrad Murray, bought five bottles of propofol – the surgical drug that possibly killed the pop star – from a Las Vegas pharmacy shortly after joining the late king of pop’s staff.
However, Murray had already told police that fact, and there is nothing illegal about his buying the drug in Las Vegas for use in another state, ie at Jackson’s home in LA, because Murray is a licenced doctor in both Nevada and California.
Murray is, of course, being investigated over allegations he caused Jacko’s death by negligently administering propofol to the singer to help him sleep.
