LAPD: MJ Doc Waited 82 Minutes Before Calling 911
According to a police affidavit, Michael Jackson’s personal physician waited 82 minutes to call 911 after Jackson stopped breathing on the fateful morning of June 25. Dr. Conrad Murray told police he treated Jackson for chronic insomnia for 6 months.
On the night of June 25th, Dr. Murray said he administered the benzodiazepine sedatives Ativan and Versed by IV push to Jackson all night long to help him sleep.
When those meds failed to induce sleep, Dr. Murray said he administered Propofol 25mg (by IV push?) to Jackson at 10:40 a.m. Murray then left the room for 2 minutes and returned to find Jackson not breathing and unresponsive.
If the police have a case against Dr. Murray, 57, it will be based on the length of time it took for him to seek emergency medical assistance for Jackson after he found him unresponsive. But there doesn’t seem to be enough of a case for manslaughter. Gross medical negligence, yes, but it will be very difficult for the prosecutor’s office to convince a jury that 25mg of the sedative Propofol (Diprivan) killed Jackson.
Theoretically, 25mg of Propofol could kill a patient whose respirations and blood pressure were already decreased. But attorneys and juries don’t deal in theories.

Like I said before, MJ was probably dead before Farrah.
It’s heartbreaking….
At this point who cares?
This story is old and boring
Doctor assisted suicide!
Hello All. Yeah, that sucker killed Mike! And why the heck did he wait so long to call for help? If Michael Vick can pull time for fighting/killing dogs than this sucker can go to jail for administering Mike all these freaking drugs! I thank God I’m not an addict, never liked anything to rule me but God’s words. Peace.
Dr. Fella is on his way to J A I L! No if ands or buts about it……”But my azz! You is under arrest!”

Yeah the doc will take the fall for what others have allowed Mike to continue to do. Why is it that now that he has passed everyone wants to mention how they wanted an intervention for Mike. It’s easy to point the finger when you chose to look the other way.
The police also have a case for making false statements. Didn’t this doctor previously state that he had never prescribed or administered Propofol to Jackson? So why did his statement change?
