DR. CONRAD MURRAY WILL BE HANDING HIMSELF OVER TO AUTHORITIES ON FRIDAY!

Conrad MurrayMICHAEL Jackson‘s former doctor Conrad Murray will hand himself over to authorities today.

The late pop legend– who died of acute Propofol intoxication in June 2009 — was last seen alive by his personal physician, but with his death ruled homicide by drug overdose last week, and the anaesthetic Propofol considered the primary factor, Murray faces questioning Friday.

After much haggling between prosecutors, defence lawyers and law enforcement officials over whether the physician should be arrested or not, it appears the doctor will now hand himself in to authorities.

According to reports, he will face a judge at 1.30pm, where it is thought a video camera will record the event.
Law enforcement officials previously revealed that prosecutors planned to charge the doctor with involuntary manslaughter, alleging he gave Michael, 50, the powerful anaesthetic to help him sleep but that instead led to his death.

Officials from the Los Angeles Police Department had wanted to go to the residence he was staying at to arrest him, so it wouldn’t look as though he was being given special treatment, but Attorney Ed Chernoff said Thursday night that Murray would turn himself in because an arrest would only be for the benefit of news cameras.

“You tell us where, we’ll be there,” he said. “It’s a waste of time, it’s just a show. There’s no reason to handcuff a guy, drag him downtown so you can take a photo when he’s been sitting here for a week waiting to turn to himself in.”

    Please, it is all a huge media ploy. Look at Michaels Ghosts videos, he faked his death due to a half a billion of debt he owed, and to escape public scrutiny, that is why it took so long for every minute detail of this entire saga since his death hoax. Get a grip. Elvis did it too for other reasons, both left a ton of clues.

    What a tragedy. I both understand Michael and his addictive personality and that more is better, therefore raising his tolerence level. He was trapped in his own hell for so so long. He is at peace now. This touches me more deeply than most as I lost my mom, age 38, and I was 15, due to an intoxicated anathesiologist. He administered too much medicication, stepped out to smoke a cigarette and she went into cardiac arrest leading to a coma for 3 weeks, then death. Ironically Judge Melville was our judge in this case, as it was the King of pops, for possible child molestation in Santa Maria. God Bless the family and Rest in peace Michael.
