Investigators Request Third Interview With Dr. Conrad Murray

Investigators working to determine Michael Jackson’s cause of death are seeking more information from Dr. Conrad Murray. Investigators have also asked for medical records in addition to those Dr. Murray has already provided.

“The coroner wants to clear up the cause of death, we share that goal,” says Ed Chernoff, attorney for Dr. Murray. “”We don’t have access to the most important information in this case… the toxicology report. We’re still in the dark like everybody else. Based on Dr. Murray’s minute-by-minute and item-by-item description of Michael Jackson’s last days, he should not be a target of criminal charges. Dr. Murray was the last doctor standing when Michael Jackson died and it seems all the fury is directed toward him. Dr. Murray is frustrated by negative and often erroneous media reports, he has to walk around 24-7 with a bodyguard. He can’t operate his practice. He can’t go to work because he is harassed no matter where he goes.”

Ed Chernoff and Dr. Murray continue to cooperate with investigators, Dr. Murray remains a witness and not a suspect. The third interview is not yet scheduled
