Michael Jackson's Death - Potential Criminal Liability

Doctors Move to Hire Criminal Defender vital in protecting his reputation and freedom in the Jackson Whirlwind

The death of celebrities bringing out the worst in humanity. The recent death of singer / entertainer Michael Jackson has once again shown this tragic point. We have seen it all before: the lurid headlines, anonymous sources and grist mill of rumors, all subordinate to any wrongdoing, and every character from the Star-associated nursemaidGrandma. Inspired by American author Ann Morrow Lindberg, we make our heroes in the U.S. only to destroy, to them.

Michael Jackson was a phenomenal individual. His creative genius transcends even size. It was the creative genius that allowed him to sexual harassment scandals, to survive a seemingly endless series of medical problems and nagging reports of a litany of drug addiction. The public is never the whole truth about the private life of Michael Jackson. Suppliersof dirt and misinformation will see to that. Mark Twain once said that a lie, to travel the world before the truth can be put on his socks.

Dr. Conrad Murray, a cardiologist with practiced in Houston and Las Vegas, who discovered the singer in the near lifeless body in the bedroom of the Los Angeles house, lived in Jackson. The doctor performed CPR in an effort to revive and Jackson was present when Jackson was pronounced dead in the emergency room of the Ronald Reagan UCLA MedicalCenter. The doctor quickly discovers that the media does not always start everything right the first time.

Almost immediately, the media reports linking Dr. Murray made the rounds of the narcotic drug Demerol injections (and now, Morphine, Vicodin, Diprivan, and who knows what else), before the death of Jackson. The reports were driven by misinformation had disappeared, Dr. Murray mysteriously after reporting Jackson's death that he had refused to meet the Jackson family members that herefused to sign a death certificate, and even the flight from the police, who with him about the timeline of the events was up to the death of the singer.

The direct and indirect effects of these sensational media has reported that Dr. Murray was somehow responsible for premature death of Jackson. We do not know what happened, that died in Los Angeles mansion of the day, Jackson's and events that happened in the run of the singer's death. The Los Angeles Police Department is still investigating this matter,Sifting through the stories of trying to determine facts from rumors, in an effort to determine what, if at all, criminal offenses with the death of the man who gave the world "Thriller has been associated with."

As a criminal lawyer, lawyers, we are obliged to facts, not speculation, suspicion or innuendo. The media should be required on the same principle, but the mainstream media are so over being left behind the ball in eight of thesethe Jackson case that the tabloid-style journalism, in their reporting on the death of the singer's refuge. Many media reports rumors as fact leading to death threats against Dr. Murray. We find this whole turn of events rather dirty and improper.

In the meantime, Dr. Murray has the only sensible, responsible thing to do. He hired a Houston defense lawyer, Ed Chernoff, not only his professional integrity to protect, but to direct itthrough the legal maze is now fearful of him. Dr. Murray is now speaking through his legal representatives to clarify many of the media-generated false statements about his involvement in the death of Jackson.

Dr. Murray Advocate sensitively inform the media, as Dr. Murray said the LAPD that he has never prescribed Demerol, or other addictive painkillers to Jackson. The doctor's lawyer further said Dr. Murray's on Jackson's bedroom at the passIn the afternoon, the singer died and said he experienced difficulty breathing. The doctor, for advice, the administration immediately began CPR after finding a weak pulse in the femoral artery Jackson.

Because the doctor does not know the physical address of the house where Jackson lived, he was forced to seek and staff who knew the mansion physical address and those who find the 911 emergency call to. Dr. Murray stayed with Jackson, as he was transported in aAmbulance to the UCLA Medical Center and remained in the emergency room as medical staff tried unsuccessfully to revive the singer again.

When asked refused to sign a death certificate to Dr. Murray, said he believed an autopsy was performed to determine the exact cause of death. This is a good decision because the singer had not shown any signs of a serious medical problem in the days until his death, a period in which he had taken was in intensive rehearsals foran upcoming 50-city concert tour.

Further, according to his lawyer, after Jackson was officially declared dead, Dr. Murray met with members of the Jackson family to inform them of what stood in the run to the death of the singer and offer his personal condolences to them.

As the criminal charges in connection with the 1977 death of Elvis Presley and 2007 death of Anna Nicole Smith once again proves it is understandable that there would beSpeculation about the relationship with Dr. Murray's Michael Jackson, especially since the doctor only if the singer met a few months ago.

As a result of the death of Elvis Presley, was the flamboyant singer's personal physician, Dr. George Nichopoolas on 14 Counts of over-prescribing drugs to Presley and fellow rockabilly crooner Jerry Lee Lewis indicted. The indictment charged that Nichopoolas had sold 10,000 heavy drugs to Presley alone. The doctor was acquitted, theall charges, even though his license was permanently revoked by the end of Tennessee Medical Board.

The Anna Nicole Smith case, two personal doctors Smith (Sandeep Kapoor and Kristine Eroshevich) and his lawyer / friend of Howard Stern for providing the supposedly luxuriant blond actress with a steady diet of pills and opiates indicted. In a press conference after announcing the indictment, s California, "70-year-old attorney general and 2010 possibleGubernatorial candidate Jerry Brown told reporters in March 2009 Visitors:

"It is a general tolerance and forbearance of drugs. Everyone has a doctor, many people take sleeping pills and then take another pill, we have drug advertising. The American people will be promoted to greater tolerance to drugs ... I think personally that is damn serious, and I hope that these courts take it seriously, as they did in the past and this is just a crack in a series of efforts toto doctors. We have already gone to hundreds of other doctors, and we will intensify law enforcement in the coming months. "

That is exactly why Dr. Murray quickly secured legal representation. Politician, a higher office are worse than tabloid journalists run amok. There is nothing sacred certainly not the truth, honesty and integrity.

Attorney General Brown is actually a Johnny-come-lately in the crackdown on "pain doctors." The doctor almost everywhereas the original "pain doctor recognized" Virginia is a doctor named William Hurwitz. He believed that whatever amount for the prescription of narcotics was necessary to manage pain effectively. Dr. Hurwitz quickly found himself at odds with the Virginia Board of Medicine and in 2003, the Board found "error with some of his prescription out, but the doctor had engaged in them" in good faith. "

The federal government was not so kind and understanding. The prosecutors targeted Hurwitzdrug distribution to law enforcement. In 2004, the physician of more than 50 counts was convicted, sentenced to four 25-years and the Forty Six 15-year terms while all were served. The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals, however, in August 2006 changed his conviction and ordered that repeated the doctor.

The government was not deterred by this appeal setback. In March 2007 the government has launched its second prosecution of Hurwitz. This time, a jury convicted him of 16Counts of drug offenses in connection with the prescription of painkillers to his patients, but he said on another 17 counts of drug trafficking. The judge dismissed the remaining 12 counts, and in July 2007 the judge sentenced the doctor to four years and nine months in federal prison. He remains in federal custody.

The accusations in the Presley and Smith cases, and the repeated condemnation of Dr. Hurwitz, almost a guarantee that there will be criminal chargesarising from the death of Michael Jackson. The Los Angeles County Coroner's office and police investigators have a significant amount of physical evidence, according to reports, several large bags of drugs and syringes could out of the house where Jackson lived from LA. The LAPD) is any contact with pharmacists in the district of rules which (whether for the singers are said to have shared in his name or a fictitious name as in prescription fraud cases. Michael Jackson wassued by a pharmacy that the singer owes more than $ 100,000 for a balance of two years of prescriptions they filled for him alone claimed. If they are the target of a criminal investigation? Doctors, pharmacists, friends, family, and the usual hangers-around, all should follow the guidance of Dr. Murray and seek advice, support and protection from experienced counsel. Anyone who has the prescribed or Michael Jackson in a pill or a shot of managed stands a good chanceof being swept into the whirlwind of prosecutions, which surely follow. Top tier legal representation is a must for anyone who is asked by the researchers in this area in question.

As usual, the situation in high-profile cases in Los Angeles, lawyers are already snake out of the question about the integrity of the investigation by the LAPD. The experts point to the fact that a moving van was seen pulling up any kind of the Jackson House and removal revealed Articlesshortly after his death. The lawyers have determined that criminal defenders assert a field day that the "investigation" either threatened or have been hampered by the post-Jackson's death remove items from the villa.

In the end, we feel fairly safe in saying Michael Jackson's death will most likely be resolved in a courtroom by lawyers representing the State of California, the Jackson family and the people who maybe indicted in connection with the death of the singer. He will play, and at the end, like most operas, tragedies.
