Charges in Michael Jackson death case to be filed on Monday
February 6th, 2010 - 2:48 am ICT by BNO News
LOS ANGELES (BNO NEWS) — Charges will be filed against Dr. Conrad Murray, the personal physician of Michael Jackson, on Monday, prosecutors said on Friday.
“A case will be filed on Monday,” said Sandi Gibbons of the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office. “Information on charges and the scheduled arraignment at the Airport Court will be released after the case is filed.”
Meanwhile, the defense team for Murray has scheduled a news conference at 1.30 p.m. PST. Attorney Ed Chernoff will deliver remarks at Pollywog Park before leaving for Los Angeles International Airport for a return flight to Houston.
It is not yet clear when Murray will be arrested, but it is unlikely to take place before Monday. Chernoff earlier said that Murray agreed to surrender himself to authorities on Friday.
Jackson, who was 50, died at his Los Angeles home on June 25. The Los Angeles County Coroner ruled his death a homicide, mainly caused by the powerful anaesthetic Propofol.
U.S. media earlier reported that Murray is expected to be charged with involuntary manslaughter, which could send him to jail for a maximum of four years if convicted. A spokeswoman for the Los Angeles County district attorney said she could neither confirm nor deny the claims.
