doctor's lawyer rejects 'police theory' to Michael Jackson


An attorney for the late singer's former doctor, Conrad Murray, has removed claims that he deserted his patient after administering a powerful anaesthetic.

The lawyer for Michael Jackson's former doctor, Conrad Murray, has rejected "police theory" having to do with the singer's death. Ed Chernoff disputed that his costomer had made confident reported assertion, or that he left Jackson's side after administering the anaesthetic Propofol.
Though Jackson's autopsy results remain secured, details of the police investigation were disclose in search authorization obtained earlier this week. These documents offer a timeline of Murray's actions on 25 June, the morning Jackson died, citing testimony by Murray himself. Yesterday, Chernoff removed several of these claims, admitting that while "much (the report) is factual ... much is police theory".
According to disclosed documents, Murray was treating Jackson for insomnia but had grown concerned that the star was complusive to Propofol. After trying a cocktail of safer sedatives overnight on 24-25 June, Murray allegedly assent with another to administer the more troubling anaesthetic. Murray monitored Jackson for 10 minutes and then left to use the bathroom. When he refunded at 11am Jackson had stopped breathing. "Lethal levels" of Propofol were found in Jackson's body, according to the Los Angeles coroner's office.
Chernoff dismissed certain appearances of this account. "The timeline reported by law application was not obtained through interviews with Dr Murray, as was by the affidavit," he said. "Dr Murray simply never told investigators that he found Jackson at 11am not breathing."
The search warrant also claimed that Murray deserted the unconscious Jackson to make phonecalls to family and other doctors. "Dr Murray never said that he left Jackson's room to make phone calls," Chernoff insisted.
The lawyer for Jackson's mother, Katherine, also act in answer to something to this week's reports. "This reaffirms the sad reality that there was a tragic and gross violation of duty and care for Michael Jackson," L Londell McMillan said. "There is obvious legal culpability, which has been the concern of Michael's mother, family and fans worldwide."
