A search warrant approved by a Houston judge allowed authorities to seek “property or items constituting evidence of the offense of manslaughter that go to show that Dr. Murray committed the said criminal offense.” A receipt for the search warrant detailed items seized when federal drug agents and Los Angeles police descended on Murray‘s clinic on Wednesday. Among them 27 tablets of the weight loss drug phentermine, a tablet of the muscle relaxant clonazepam, two hard drives, notices from the IRS and a controlled substance registration were found.
MUMBAI: Michael Jackson‘s personal doctor Dr. Conrad Murray is the target of the investigation into the crooner‘s death, the day after agents seized items from the physician‘s Houston clinic.
Murray‘s lawyer, Edward Chernoff, referred queries to the statement he made a day earlier in which he confirmed a search warrant had been executed and that none of the items seized had previously been requested by authorities.
Murray, a cardiologist, was hired as Jackson‘s personal physician not long before he died. He was in Jackson‘s rented Los Angeles mansion when the pop star was found unconscious the morning of June 25 and tried unsuccessfully to revive him.
