Did Dr. Conrad Murray Give Propofol to Michael Jackson?
Dr. Conrad Murray, the doctor who was at Michael Jackson's home the day he died did not give Jackson OxyContin or Demerol that day, according to his attorney.
His lawyer, Edward Chernoff, wouldn't make the same statement about the powerful anesthesia, Propofol, that was found at the late star's home, however.
Law enforcement sources say the information Dr. Murray gave police regarding drugs at Jackson's home was enough for cops to secure a warrant from a judge.
This alone is a significant development, as a search warrant can only be issued if there is probable cause to believe a crime has been committed.
The facts: When police searched the home, they found Propofol. It was specifically labeled Propofol. There was no indication it had been prescribed to anyone.
Chernoff reiterated earlier claims that his client did not give Demerol or OxyContin to Jackson the day he died. But he would not take the same stand on Propofol.
Chernoff told TMZ when asked for comment on the subject, "I have no statement on whether the doctor prescribed or administered Propofol," adding, "We're confident whatever the doctor prescribed did not kill Michael Jackson."
Police obtained a search warrant the day after Michael Jackson died. Another warrant was issued two days after Dr. Conrad Murray's interview with LAPD investigators, and that's the one that led cops to the Propofol discovery.
A second warrant may have been needed if the first covered prescription medications only. DEA and LAPD officials are trying to determine how the Propofol - a drug that should never be administered outside a hospital - ended up in MJ's home.
Jackson's medical records and billing info may be the key to unraveling the mystery of who prescribed what to him and when - and holding the doctors responsible.

"Dr"Murry did it for money!

Dr. Murry KNEW he was dealing with a drug Addict therefore him administering him any drugs outside a HOSPITAL SETTING was completely ILLEGAL as it IS CRIMINAL. Big $$ always gets people to BREAK THE ETHICAL RULES. He knew it was a CRIME to give Michael all these drugs, and especially the Propophol (which is for SURGERIES ONLY!! and ONLY administered to patients INSIDE HOSPITAL OPERATING ROOMS!)
Looks like the ( BlueChick above) isn't thinking clearly being BLUE in the face from MURRY DRUGS...and like all ADDICTS is doing as he says in her COMMENTS to get better $$$deals on more of Murry DRUGS and (treatments on the SLY!)
Birds of a feather flock together!
Murry was also CRIMINAL in the FACT that ( he hid the FACT that he had KILLED Michael ) for many many HOURS, and to DECEIVE even the Paramedics MURRY TURNED UP THE ROOM HEATERS SO HIGH, STIFLING HOT JUST TO CREATE A "WARM LIFE-LIKE FEEL TO MICHAEL'S SKIN" IN HIS DEVIANT DECEPTIVE CRIME!
MURRY LET MICHAEL DIE WITHOUT "CALLIN

Dr murry asked for $1mil a month and he says he got only $100K a month! AEG paid dr murry $1Mil a month to assist them to force Michael's cooperation and to go to jail for a maximum of 3 years, in exchange for $40Mil dispersed in over 4years in offshore accounts!
Dr murry: proud graduate of university of 'nobody can agree on', father to six or seven or eight kids with about six or seven women, wife beater, drunk, bankrupt in two different states, with leans on every property he owns, and malpractice judgments in memory of his file etc etc..!
AEG took $210mil dollars the opening week of 'This is it' and never has to pay Michael the $500Mil signed on the contract!
AEG large real estate investor with a majority of investments in an broken real estate market refused to pay Britney Spears $360MIL and Randy Phillips had a panic attack on Forbes magazine vowing to never pay anyone more the $300mil contract; yet weeks later they sign Michael Jackson with $500MIL and immediately issolate h

no ones to blame but jackson himself .do not blame it on anyone else

Well, in small doses I feel sorry for Dr Murray but if you call yourself a Professional then he should have acted Professionally. Because of this he is much to blame. I don't think he intentionally killed MJ, I do believe it to be involuntary manslaughter, after-all MJ was already an addict for these drugs which it appeared were administered in his home and not at a surgery. It could have been any doctor present but happened to be Dr Murray.
The law should, and I think it's time, struck off these doctors from ever practicing again. I cannot understand why they are still permitted to practice.
It's the same sort of thing that killed Elvis Presley.

Dr Conrad Doesn't even know how to do CPR. That is basic for a Dr. He was getting paid $150,00o a month. Yes he killed him. He gave him a illegal drug and he is going to jail.

i feel instinctively something was way wrong!and this is very very sad for Michael and his mother and children .i cant understand how you are assigned to take care of someones health ,and not be responsible enough to administer the prper c.p.r.and how did he not know the exact address of Michaels residence?even when we hire babysitters we jot down vital info such as what the address is ,of where we are at!!something went very very wrong and Katherine Jackson found his behaviour odd.i really hope these drs.,get the discipline theydeserve ,they are greedy and dont care about peoples lives at all ,not all but some Drs.those drugs got to his home by someone somehwere ,and the truth will come out ,becuse Jehovahs name is involved in all of this too ,May his will take place asnd justice done,
