Results of Police Search of Doctor’s House
This week, police raided the home of Dr. Conrad Murray, fueling suspicions that there were pending criminal charges against the unlucky doctor. Today, the LA Times got a copy of the search warrant, offering us clues into what the authorities were searching for in the doctor’s Las Vegas home and office. Not surprisingly, they were looking for Propofol, that dangerous anesthetic that Michael Jackson was seemingly addicted to. Investigators spent over 8 hours digging up dirt on the doctor, and took a lot of electronic devices that may have documents related to Jackson’s treatment.
The investigators who spent more than eight hours combing through Murray’s properties were targeting an array of documents related to the treatment of Jackson, including “records, shipping orders, distribution lists, use records relating to the purchase transfer, receiving, ordering, delivery and storage of propofol,” read the warrant signed by a Nevada District Court judge.
At Murray’s home, searchers took an iPhone, copies of information from another mobile phone and a BlackBerry, and a copy of a personal computer hard drive, according to an inventory. No items were taken from the storage unit, investigators wrote. The warrants also indicated investigators are considering a wider range of charges against Murray than the manslaughter count they referred to in documents filed last week in a search of the doctor’s Houston properties.
A detective wrote that he and colleagues were looking for evidence “demonstrating the crimes” that included excessive prescribing, prescribing to an addict, unprofessional conduct and manslaughter. Those charges include violations of the penal code and the state business and professions code. Murray was performing CPR on Jackson when paramedics arrived at his Holmby Hills chateau June 25. He has said through his lawyer that he didn’t administer anything to the performer that “should have” caused his death and is eagerly awaiting toxicology results to be released next week.
The article has more. It even reveals that Michael Jackson may have used up to 19 different aliases to get more prescriptions! Wow. He must have had serious issues with his health.
The more I hear of what happened the more unreal it seems . I know we have to wait to hear the final verdict and we may never really know what happened that day but it seems Conrad Murray has much to regret.
