D.A. to Review Michael Jackson Case Next Week
The LAPD will present the case against Dr. Conrad Murray, the sole suspect in the June 25 death of Michael Jackson, to the L.A. County D.A.'s office next week.
LAPD detectives planned to wrap up their exhaustive homicide investigation and present the case by the second week in October. They remain on schedule.
Authorities are waiting on some written evaluations by medical professionals who reviewed evidence surrounding Jackson's death of a suspected overdose.
Law enforcement sources say the medical reports are finally in and the LAPD plans to formally present the case to the D.A.'s office at some point next week.
After that, the D.A. will determine whether to file charges and what kind.
Conrad Murray was Michael Jackson's personal doctor at the time of his death.
Prosecutors have been working with the LAPD for months now, so it's not as if the evidence will be a surprise. Sources say Dr. Murray remains the sole target.
A law enforcement source says there's a "70/30 chance" the D.A. will take the case to the L.A. County Grand Jury rather than charge Dr. Conrad Murray directly.
Murray's girlfriend, Nicole Alvarez, is expected to testify.
The source says this could be a complicated case - obviously - and the very lengthy preliminary hearing that could ensue wouldn't have much upside for prosecutors.
A grand jury indictment would prolong the process, as it would have to be seated and evidence presented, but it would be easy to get and avoids a hearing.
Stay tuned ...

I would say he`s got a pretty big target on his back-let`s hope somebody hits it.

Before the nutritionist nurse came forward re: propofol, this Dr. lied about what was given. Refusing to sign the death certificate or pronounce Michael dead at the house where he actually died is also a sign of cover up. he knew hrs. before that MJ was not going to make it. He knew when he called Prince in that Michael was gone.It is tragic and he was basically a puppet doing what he was ordered to do all for the money. he blatantly violated his medical license and hippocratic oath. He should be held accountable for this gross and negligent use of his power . MJ is gone and even though he had a major drug problem. The dr. could have refused , could have reported the drug use and been able to get Mj some help. i know it would not have been easy , but exposure of this problem could have earned the Doc plenty of dough by selling the true story of what was going on behind the scenes. he could have got protection had he gone to the authorities.There is so much he could have attempted. bu

No question Cconrad Murray is guilty. I'm wondering though, how MJ got in touch with him. It was in Vegas, and it sounds like he was sought out because he had financial problems, and people knew he could be persuaded to do what he was told. Having said that, how can he not know to call 911 nor perform CPR on the floor? I just hope he's not another Harvey Oswald.
We love you Michael and always will!

Having been through a handful of operations in my lifetime in a hospital or medical clinic, and knowing what is involved in being given Propofol - I am OUTRAGED that this so-called medical professional administered this drug to Michael in his home just so he could sleep! And this on top of the cocktail of drugs he gave him leading up to the 'deathly drip' that killed him... insanity! It's totally irresponsible and unacceptable and this man must be PUNISHED to the fullest extent of the law. And Michael should NEVER have been left alone while the drug was administered, not for a few seconds let alone the few minutes this doctor said he left the room. We want justice yes, but sadly for MJ and his family, if Conrad Murray is charged and defends his actions in court, there will be so much muck-raking and mud-slinging against poor Michael by Murray's defense team to try to win the case, the press will have a field day once again, and poor Michael will not be here to defend himself against al
