Police raid Michael Jackson’s doctors office

Detectives raided the Texas office of one of Michael Jackson’s doctors looking for evidence of manslaughter.

Murray got to know Jackson in 2008 after treating one of his children in Las Vegas. Jackson summoned him in May 2009 to Los Angeles to help with preparations for the London concerts, then insisted that his concert promoter AEG Live hire Murray, who had been living with Jackson for two weeks before the death.

Randy Phillips, AEG Live’s chief executive, said the doctor had planned to travel with Jackson to Britain for a fee of $150,000 a month. Murray has said through his attorney that he did not prescribe or administer Demerol or Oxycontin to Jackson, but would not say what, if anything, he did prescribe or administer. According to the New York Times, preliminary autopsy results suggest “one or more drugs found in lethal amounts in the singer’s system came from Dr. Murray’s office.”
