Aug 19 2009Michael Jackson's doctor will be charged with manslaughter
Michael Jackson's personal physician Dr. Conrad Murray will be charged with manslaughter in the next two weeks, according to FOX News:
The source initially said Dr. Conrad Murray could be arrested as soon as next Wednesday -- but investigators have decided to execute one more search warrant, likely at a Los Angeles pharmacy, next week in an attempt to gather more evidence against him. The arrest is now expected the following week.
Murray isn't the only doctor who faces criminal charges in connection with Jackson's death on June 25. A law enforcement source told FOXNews.com that Jackson's longtime dermatologist, Dr. Arnold Klein, will be hit with charges related to medical malpractice. Investigators are still building their case against Klein, and he will not be arrested for at least another two weeks, the source said.
The Los Angeles District Attorney's office is currently in talks with investigators about whether they will offer Murray the option of surrendering in Los Angeles, or if he will be arrested in Houston, where he is currently staying.
Investigators initially had hoped to charge Murray with a more serious crime than manslaughter -- a defendant may be charged with second degree murder in California without the presence of a motive -- but prosecutors are concerned that a jury will be unlikely to convict without one, sources said. Unless a "smoking gun" is found in next week's search, Murray will be charged with manslaughter.
Of course, the saddest part of this story is that shortly before his death, Michael had just discovered a way to revert to his former black self and was primed to record Thriller 2: Doo Dat Doom Dat Doo Sha-moan! Except not really, but try telling that to one of his crazed fans. Seriously, I had one tell me at Starbucks Michael could really change into a car. But no mention of a child seat in the back. Cuckoo!

Dr. Feel Death to the stars over here should get in touch with Paris Hilton and Spencer Pratt before he's thrown in jail for 7 months. No, really, the top celebs we love to hate will benefit from the drugs this doctor on paper is able to pimp out.

What a bunch of shit. Wacko Jacko was a drug addict. The blame should be placed squarely on him.

Greed.

That's complete Bullshit. If Fox News is right about this, I'll be voting Republican from now on.
Maybe they're right about Obama too?

Dr. Murray appears upbeat about all this.

Like the saying goes, "You can take the nig nog out of the ghetto, but you can't take the ghetto out of the nig nog."

I don't know if Conrad is guilty of manslaughter or not. Mike has been using those drugs for a long time.

Damn you, you murderer. Why Lord? why did you have to take michael so soon he had the most delicious Jesus Juice that was almost worth the finger insertion and dry anal rape. I can see those days clear as yesterday, the warm summer breeze, the giraffes frolicking in the zoo, the crust spotted fingers being jammed inside of me. those were the days.....*tear*

The thing about Michael Jackson transforming into a car is true - I also saw him turn into a claymation, leather-jacket-wearing, Harley driving, supersonic-spinning rabbit with the ability to elude pursuers by morphing his body into silica and becoming an anthropomorphic cliff face.

"The thing about Michael Jackson transforming into a car is true - I also saw him turn into a claymation, leather-jacket-wearing, Harley driving, supersonic-spinning rabbit with the ability to elude pursuers by morphing his body into silica and becoming an anthropomorphic cliff face."
One time he turned into a spaceship and killed Joe Pecsi. Then he had his best freind, MacCauly Culkin, hit Joe Pecsi in the head with a paint can.
There's two things you need to know about Michael Jackson.
1. He was the greatest human being ever in the universe.
2. He funckin' hated Joe Pecsi.
RIP MJ
We luv ya.

What about David Carradine?
And the poisonous H1N1 vaccine? Actually a virus in itself?

He got himself pretty much in trouble isn't it?

The best physicians consider their profession as a calling.
