Source: Michael Jackson’s doctor to be charged with manslaughter

Dr. Conrad Murray

Dr. Conrad Murray

Michael Jackson’s personal physician will be charged with manslaughter within the next two weeks, a law enforcement source told FOXNews.com.

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 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.

    Oh darn, does anyone really care? It is not like Lennon was SHOT. :) One had a hard up-bringing, so sorry, join the club. I do not know what to believe with the possibilty of the doctors giving Jackson drugs, and I dare say no one could ever prove this any witch way. But “Thriller” as an American icon, maybe, if one does not believe that “Video killed the radio star”. :) Though I did like “Billie Jean Is Not My Lover” :)
