I just heard two appalling "jokes" about Michael's death. I guess those of us who are fans are going to have to deal with this kind of nasty. The pictures are just the beginning

He has a lawyer Ginger. I am betting he will be charged with Manslaughter, especially if the demerol shot was the one that put him over the edge. I can see this lawyer's defense already, how was he to know that Michael had taken other drugs, yea right. Going to be tougher to have that defense if he prescribed those other drugs.

Houston doc to meet with L.A. investigators
Police seize vehicle of Houston cardiologist who performed CPR on the superstar
By CINDY GEORGE

RELATED REPORTS
Dr. Conrad Murray, the Houston doctor who was treating Michael Jackson before his death, is scheduled to meet with Los Angeles Police Department homicide investigators this afternoon, according to the downtown Houston criminal law firm representing the physician.

Ed Chernoff of Stradley, Chernoff and Alford arrived in Los Angeles late Friday night to accompany Murray — who has a practice in Houston’s Acres Homes area — when he meets with authorities.

“He intends to cooperate. He has nothing to hide. He is going to help them in any way he can with their investigation,” Chernoff said.

The lawyer also said that police have made assurances that Murray is not the subject of the police probe, but is being asked to provide information as Jackson’s attending physician to “fill in the blanks” for the medical examiner and assist investigating agencies.

“We’ve been told more than once that this is an investigation into the death, that it’s not a murder investigation and that Dr. Murray is not a suspect in any way. This is just an information-gathering meeting and nothing more,” Chernoff said.

Despite reports that Murray has been eluding police, Chernoff said Murray has remained in Los Angeles since Jackson’s death and has been communicating with authorities.

“He didn’t go anywhere,” Chernoff said. “The police have known where he is and they’ve been in contact with him. … Dr. Murray talked to homicide immediately after Michael Jackson was taken to the hospital. He was cooperative with them.”

Murray was trying to resuscitate Jackson when emergency personnel were called to Jackson’s home Thursday afternoon, Chernoff confirmed.

“I’m sure you could hear him in the background (of the 9-1-1 call recording),” he said.

Chernoff said he did not know if Murray accompanied Mr. Jackson to the hospital and would provide details later about the circumstances of Murray’s employment with Jackson.

The Los Angeles County Coroner conducted an autopsy on Friday and while he said there was "no indication of foul play," the official cause of death could not be determined.

A source close to the family of Michael Jackson told TMZ Saturday that the family has requested a second autopsy, and that it is currently under way at an undisclosed location in Los Angeles.


A 1989 graduate of Meharry Medical College, a historically black school in Nashville, Murray came to Houston in 2005. In 2006, he opened the Acres Home Heart & Vascular Institute in honor of his father, Dr. Rawle Andrews Sr., a primary-care physician and community leader in Acres Homes who died in 2001.

The 51-year-old was seen at his Houston office as recently as last week. Murray was recently summoned to Los Angeles at Jackson’s request, the Los Angeles Times reported Friday.

In 2008, more than $450,000 in judgments were filed against Murray or his company, Global Cardiovascular Associates in Nevada.

He has not, however, been the subject of any disciplinary action in Texas, Nevada or California, according to the medical boards of the three states where he’s licensed.

Murray, who also owns a practice in Nevada, Global Cardiovascular Associates, Inc., notified his patients on June 15 that he would no longer be their doctor, according to a copy of a letter he sent them obtained by the website tmz.com.

“Because of a once in a lifetime opportunity, I had to make a most difficult decision to cease practice of medicine indefinitely,” Murray wrote.

Residents at his sister’s southwest Houston house Friday drew their drapes and refused to open the door, even for police who shouted from outside.

Police, media and others camped outside Murray’s sister’s house Friday because the Texas license plates of his BMW are registered to her. Police seized it from the driveway of Jackson’s mansion, saying it may contain medications or other evidence pertinent to the investigation. They emphasized that he is not under criminal suspicion.

I think the doctor will probably be in deep wanter, and he may well deserve to be there, but I'd hate to seem him be the sole point of blame for the place Michael found himself in. Seems like some people who damanged and/or enabled Michael, perhaps all of his life are casting aspersions the most vociferously.

Looks like Micheal insisted on having this doc in his entourage for a reason..

A local station here in Chicago aired Small Sacrifices and the Beate Klarsfeld Story today -- also this Tuesday and Wednesday. And also two episodes per weekday for a while of Charlie's Angels.

If Michael only knew what Grace would say after his death, I don't think he'd want her to be looking after his kids.

http://omg.yahoo.com/news/michael-jacksons-nanny-i-had-to-pump-his-stomach-many-times/24469

The nanny who cared for Michael Jackson's three children is providing new insight into the King of Pop's battle with prescription drugs.

In an interview with The Times of London, Grace Rwaramba - who worked for Jackson for more than a decade - reveals that she had to pump Jackson's stomach "many times" after he'd taken a dangerous combination of drugs.

"He always mixed so much of it," Rwaramba, 42, is quoted as saying. "There was one period that it was so bad that I didn't let the children see him. He always ate too little and mixed too much."

Distraught over Jackson's drug use, she once proposed an intervention, contacting his mother Katherine and sister Janet for help, only to find herself fired by the King of Pop.

"He didn't want to listen; that was one of the times he let me go," says Rwaramba, who started out as an office assistant.

Rwaramba, who was last fired in December, also sheds light on Jackson's debt (he was reportedly awash in about $400 million in debt at the time of his death).

Last April, when she visited Jackson's children -- Prince, now 12; Paris, 11; and Blanket, 7 -- she had to buy balloons for Paris' birthday because the singer was so broke.

Says Rwaramba, "Michael had no idea about money."

On Friday, the day after Jackson died, Rwaramba says the singer's mother Katherine called her from Michael's rented L.A. house and asked where he kept his money. "She said, 'Grace, the children are crying. They are asking about you. They can't believe that their father died. Grace, you remember Michael used to hide cash at the house. I am here. Where can it be?'"

She told Katherine to look "at the garbage bags and under the carpets," Rwaramba recalls. "She said, 'Grace, where are you? Come. I will pick you up from the airport.' She sounded so strong. So strong!"

Rwaramba is now meeting with Los Angeles detective investigating Jackson's death.

Actually, seems like she is the perfect one, sounds honest and caring and like she did what she could.

Whether she'd actually end up with the children is anyone's guess, of course. But I'd hope that not only do the three children remain in one location but maybe that Grace would be there as well, even if she wasn't legal guardian.

For one thing, she may be the only witness left, to the entirety of the children's lives and they need someone like that.

Seamonkey,
What I was referring to was the fact that she was giving such personal info to the press. This is similar to all the J & K stuff coming out, their kids are going to google all of this one day, as Jon said.

I think the horse has been running loose for years on Michael's privacy.. and maybe had there been less secrecy for so long, he'd have been more likely to get help long ago.

And Michael himself revealed excruciating details of his life and his hurts, so I still don't know that he'd deny his kids access to Grace because she did the same.

Sounds to me like Grace tried her best, as many do, to keep things as sane as she could, in the face of such insanity.

Michael previously admitted he was addicted to drugs, even went into rehab, so it's no doubt the truth.

And yes, at some point in their lives, those children will need someone to validate the insanity they lived in, it is a necessary part of healing to have someone speak the truth.
