Michael Jackson’s physician has been strategizing with his team of defence attorneys and is ready to surrender to authorities if prosecutors file charges, the doctor’s attorney said.
Dr. Conrad Murray, who has a practice in Houston, came to Los Angeles last weekend and spent Tuesday afternoon meeting with his newly assembled team of three lawyers. The district attorney’s office has not said if it will file charges, but lead defence attorney Ed Chernoff said Dr. Murray is ready for such a move.
“I haven’t received any phone call from anybody asking for the doctor to surrender,” Mr. Chernoff said. “If we get the call, we’ll be happy to.”
David Walgren, the deputy Los Angeles County district attorney handling the case, declined to comment.
Jackson, 50, hired Dr. Murray to be his personal physician as he prepared for a strenuous series of comeback performances in London. His death on June 25 in Los Angeles came after Dr. Murray, tending to Jackson in the star’s rented mansion, administered the powerful anesthetic propofol and two other sedatives to get the chronic insomniac to sleep, according to the Los Angeles County coroner’s office, which ruled the death a homicide.
