Michael Jackson last Doctor, Dr. Conrad Murray to be Charged with Manslaughter?
Posted by Rose in Celebrity Trials, Chernoff & Alford, Desperate Exes, Dr. Conrad Murray, Edward M. Chernoff, High Proflie Trials, John J. Nazarian, John J. Nazarian P.I, John Nazarian PI, Michael Jackson, Nazarian P. I.
As John J. Nazarian prediction within hours of Michael Jackson’s death here at Rose Speaks.com that he felt we would see an investigation that would equal “Elvis Presley on Steroids” directed towards the doctors of Michael Jackson.
When reaching Mr. Nazarian today about the possible Manslaughter charges perhaps looming in Dr. Conrad Murray’s future, Mr. Nazarian said he still thought some other doctors are not out of the woods yet as to potential criminal liability.
Below are two statements that appear on Dr. Conrad Murray’s attorney, Ed Chernoff site in Houston Texas:
Statement by Ed Chernoff
“We can confirm that a search warrant was executed today on Dr. Murray’s offices in Houston Texas. We reviewed the warrant and remained on the premises while the search was being executed. The search was conducted by members of the DEA, two Robbery – Homicide detectives from the Los Angeles Police Department and Houston Police officers. The search warrant authorized law enforcement to search for and seize items, including documents, they believed constituted evidence of the offense of manslaughter. Law enforcement concluded their search around 12:30pm, and left with a forensic image of a business computer hard drive and 21 documents. None of the documents taken had previously been requested by law enforcement or the L.A. Coroner’s office. “
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. The third interview is not yet scheduled.
Stay tuned to Rose Speaks.com for the latest developments in what appears is going to be some type of murder of manslaughter charges.

July 22, 2009 Virgie Arthur’s Response to Teresa Stephens Multiple Motions to Cancel Stephens Motions and for a Capias Order for the arrest of Stephens in Tarrant County or any other county in Texas and to be transported back to Harris County at the expense of Arthur..

There was not a question in my mind that this was going to be a criminal investigation of Homicide or something a little less. With my very limited knowledge of this ‘doctor and patient’ stuff, this had to be a crime. Looking at the ‘facts’ that dam near hit us all in the face watching the death unfold. And the more everyone in the world of guns and badges were trying to look as if they were playing nice with everyone, I knew they were getting ready to throw a pass for a touch down. And I do not think any more doctors should be looking for their 15 minutes of fame on Larry King either. Oh for sure there are more charges coming and our great attorney general is quiet also. The question here is for how long!
John J. Nazarian, P.I.
I have a question,of Dr Murray,and I do hope with all this reporting I get my answer,Michael had NO FOOD in his stomach,and he was at rehearsal all day.What was he going on?Michael had a cook,so preparing a meal was not in question.This man was a Cardologist,Michael was doing a hell of a lot of physcial activity.NO MENTION OF PADDLES being used to resuscitate,Michael,s heart,I would love to know what equipment was in the home for a sudden heart seizure,Why was his diet not controlled.?
John I hope you are being facetious when you say our great attorney general for California.
See how sneaky that McShame is trying to make people think he was doing Butterfly a favor when in fact he had already done his dirty deed
In regards to Butterfly and the new papers. I didn’t see where McCabe has informed all defendants about not being able to serve him by email or is he just saying this about Butterfly. If this woman spends any damn time in jail, and has no one to look after her child, I will try to make all the damn national news stories show just exactly what this case is all about.
Hey ! Like I said big difference between the manslaughter/murder case that might be happening in regards to the Michael Jackson death and Anna’s ACCIDENTAL OVERDOSE death.
I haven’t read the papers yet but it sounds like the new papers filed are a little different than what was said in court about an arrest.
McCabe… you accept service by email from other defendants. Why not TS? She has filed indigent papers with the court so you are aware and have been aware of her financial status as well as the fact that she doesn’t live in the area. Why not accept service via email from her like others? Just wanna throw your muscle around a little? A little spat in the beginning? Come on now how ridiculous.
Roxanne [7] odd isn’t how McCabe claims he does not receive service by e-mail from just this one Defendant. IMO, this is another one of his bullshit moves trying to get something that just does not exist.
Yeah ironic how Team Texas wants to push around those who do not have bigwig Attorneys backing them up, IMO it’s quite cowardly of them.
PS,
Moderators if it seems as though I keep popping in and out, I was having an Internet issue but think I have it straightened out now though ;-)
LOL I do think he (McC) HAD NO other basis (of any laws anyway) to dispute any of TS’s filings…
IF TL lets that ridiculous incoherent Response and Orders it ‘so‘ or because she said so…>> Just another Great Grounds for Appeal!
It is funny to me that some of the VAS state what a great lawyer he is, take that back… maybe just wv states that! ;) – but after all that is WHERE she is getting $ from isn’t it?
If that was a good lawyer with good lawyers who did abide by the rules of legal ethics… THEN they wouldn’t have had so many complaints and wouldn’t have been overturned on Appeals, also they wouldn’t have had other Judges tell them to pay their clients back money they TOOK from them!
NONE of those VA supporters, even that wv EVER state the exact difference VA’s life is in now than it was before! No one of ‘her camp’ can say how she has been harmed!
She didn’t have Anna or her grandson in her life for years when Anna was here, by all of their choices — they were all adults! VA, ANS, and Daniel! So, now she doesn’t have the grand daughter in her life due to her NOT wanting JUST TO BE A GRANDMA, ‘BUT’ wanting some type of ‘twisted control’ like Opri tried to put on LB with a percentage of DL photo/video capacity for her adult life! WHAT? All these people are the ones who TRULY need to be SOMEONE’S DEFENDANTS in a BIG ASS Civil Lawsuit against there actions!
It was Anna’s will that VA NOT be part of her business, not part of her children’s lives…
What the hell good is a Will when you have lawyers who spend more than a million dollars to try to change what the deceased wanted for her children? Anna wanted her estranged family far away from her, her children and her business affairs! The Courts in CA will end up seeing that and applying the deceased wishes… The Estate of ANS (whether it be Rale or Stern NEEDS to provide PROOF of those facts) Like in this Marsy’s Law…. Anna was not a victim, but if even if she had been >> she DID NOT SEEM TO WANT those money grubbing relatives around her when she was alive… much less not. imo anyway.
All this crap from TX is smoke and mirrors… I am so tired of them having ANY TYPE of platform to spread their nonsense.
* The will lose on all fronts… wait and see :D Some may go to Appeals, but even in Texas they (that law firm) has BEEN RULED AGAINST there! NOT all Courts in TX are as corrupt as that State Court in Harris County!
Frankly, I personally think that this injustice has truly got to my emotions this last week or so!
I need to step back and not get so worked up at the VA’s sides baiting and stirring up crap that does not even apply to any laws. In the end that will be proven clear. At least I hope with all my heart these people who have done so much unnecessary harm get shown for their part they played and that someone in authority does punish them for their actions!
~~~~
JMA, Great assessment! It IS very COWARDLY of them, and even in the State of TEXAS they cannot push around pro se defendants… If TL does let McC do that, then their case will be reversed easily in Appeals.
*** Then VA will end up just like she was before all of this happened! Estranged from her daughter and her daughter’s children!
> The only people who will have lost big money is that ridiculously stupid law firm that took on this case to begin with because they seem to be blinded by the potential Marshall Millions!
LOL Doesn’t McC mention those Marshall millions in most of his filings? Well! There you have it! ;)

Vacating an Award Under Texas Law
Statutory Grounds
The Texas Arbitration Act specifies that a court should vacate an award if:
(1) the award was obtained by corruption, fraud, or other undue means;
(2) the rights of a party were prejudiced by:
(A) evident partiality by an arbitrator appointed as a neutral arbitrator;(7)
(B) corruption in an arbitrator; or
(C) misconduct or willful misbehavior of an arbitrator;
(3) the arbitrators:
(A) exceeded their powers;
(B) refused to postpone the hearing after a showing of sufficient cause for postponement;
(C) refused to hear evidence material to the controversy; or
(D) conducted the hearing, contrary to [the statute's provisions concerning hearing procedures], in a manner that substantially prejudiced the rights of a party; or
(4) there was no agreement to arbitrate, the issue was not adversely determined in a proceeding [to compel or stay arbitration], and the party did not participate in the arbitration hearing without raising the objection.(8)
Non-Statutory Grounds
The Texas Supreme Court has said that fraud, mistake, or misconduct are the historical bases for setting aside an award made under the Texas common law.(9) Other Texas courts have clarified that, in order to be a basis for setting aside a common-law award, a “mistake” must be “an error so gross as to imply bad faith and failure to exercise honest judgment.”(10) An arbitrator’s partiality can also be a basis for setting aside a common-law award.(11)

Corruption Law & Legal Definition
Corruption in the legal context refers to a wrongful design to acquire or cause some pecuniary or other advantage. Corruption may encompass a variety of wrongful acts, such as, among others, bribes, kickbacks, jury tampering, and abuse of public office.
Some highly publicized corruption involves public officials and law enforcement officers. A 1998 report by the General Accounting Office states, “The most commonly identified pattern of drug-related police corruption involved small groups of officers who protected and assisted each other in criminal activities, rather than the traditional patterns of non-drug-related police corruption that involved just a few isolated individuals or systemic corruption pervading an entire police department or precinct.”

The Mess in Texas: State and Federal Judges Accused of Everything from Arson to Corruption to Sexual Assault
TS is stating in her docs that it was sent via email AND first class mail. If the others got theirs it would appear that Mc has made a large mistake. Only a sleeping judge would jail someone on an attorney’s word when court doc shows different.

Texas Court of Appeals rules blogger’s identity protected in defamation case
A hospital allegedly defamed by an anonymous blogger may not force his Internet service provider to disclose his identity under the Cable Communications Policy Act, the Texas Court of Appeals has ruled.
The hospital sued several anonymous bloggers for defamation, claiming they unfairly disparaged the hospital and its employees and disclosed private patient information. A trial judge ordered one of the blogger’s Internet service providers to provide his identity to the hospital pursuant to the Act.
The blogger argued the hospital hadn’t met the minimal evidentiary threshold in pleading its case, and that disclosing his identity would violate his constitutional rights.
The court agreed, finding the trial court abused its discretion.
“[T]he question [then] becomes the degree of actual proof that must be provided before the balance tips in favor of piercing the constitutional shield and disclosing the identity of the anonymous blogger. [We hold that] before a defamation plaintiff can obtain the identity of an anonymous defendant through the compulsory discovery process he must support his defamation claim with facts sufficient to defeat a summary judgment motion,” the court concluded.

Link [14] very interesting read, thanks.
Link [14] That’s the exact case our first lawyer, Mr. Ogden, quoted to the judge. Her response back to him was “How am I to know if I have jurisdiction..” and then all hell broke loose and she tossed aside any rulings from higher courts. It’s also the one where she said “because I said so” as the basis for ruling everything turned over to the plaintiff. Look at the Dec 11th hearing transcript.
People need to understand that no matter how much they view this judge or court as a kangaroo court and unreal, their rulings are still legal rulings until over turned by a higher court (if the defendant even has the money to take it to a higher court) and carries the legal penalties of any court decision that is not followed. Yeah, it may not affect the big people (CBS, HKS, BS, TMZ, AH and LB) as much because they are out of state, but we’ve already seen what can and most likely will happen to those defendants who live in Texas and don’t have the pockets the other defendants (who don’t live in Texas) have. So when people start ‘armchair quarterbacking’ this case and saying things like “ignore the rulings” and “dont do what the judge orders”, it’s all fine and well for y’all to say it, cuz your ass isn’t part of this case and don’t live in texas, but to expect the ones who do live here and are involved in it to do that, I don’t believe any of y’all are really thinking of the consequences of what can happen if what you are declaring should be done was done. (i.e. Lyndal’s holiday weekend in jail and the current request for TS to be arrested)

The Center seeks to focus public, legislative and judicial attention on the rule of law as embodied in the federal and state constitutions. Those fundamental documents both express and safeguard society’s commitment to individual freedom, not only through specific protections such as the Bill of Rights, but also through structural protections that constrain and disperse governmental authority.
Legal Issues
Here you will find documents and analyses of major litigation that the Center, its constitutional authorities and others have engaged in on behalf of fundamental individual rights protection. By visiting the sections below, you’ll also find a compilation of in-depth articles, commentaries and research papers that serve as valuable legal resources on important constitutional issues.
Legislative Issues
Dozens of major legislative initiatives are being debated in the U.S. Congress and in state houses around the country that have a direct bearing on your individual freedoms and individual rights. Our constitutional authorities are keeping a watchful eye on pending legislation that violates or seeks to circumvent the Constitution.Legislative
The ACLU (both national branch and the branches in Texas and California) were contacted and replied that they don’t have the types of funds to fight this type of fight with this type of law firm that has the type of financing behind them as the O’Q firm does. So, unless these people have even deeper pockets than the ACLU…….

Ordering Electronically Recorded District Court Transcripts
All orders will be received in Room 8016, Court Reporting Services. If you have any questions concerning your transcript or duplicate tape order call the Electronic Recording Operations Office of this court at (713) 250-5404. If no one is available to assist you at the time of your call, clearly mark on your order form that you wish to be called before the order is processed, and leave a telephone number where you can be contacted. DO NOT send someone to pick up transcript until you have been notified by court personnel, not the transcribing services, that the material is ready for delivery.
http://www.txs.uscourts.gov/transcripts/transero.htm
COPY TRANSCRIPTS: All orders for copy transcripts must say “TRANSCRIPT COPY,” on the order form. If you have determined from a docket sheet that a transcript you need is already on file and you want to order a copy of that transcript from the transcribing service rather than making a copy from the court file, it is imperative that you indicate TRANSCRIPT COPY (PREVIOUSLY DOCKETED) on the order form. Your order will be processed by the transcribing firm which prepared the original transcript. If the transcript is no longer available from that firm, you will be notified that it must be copied from the court file in accordance with the usual copy rules and fees.
Every effort is made by court personnel to process transcript orders quickly. It is not always possible to send orders to the transcribing services the day they are received. A delay may result if the information you provided is incorrect and court personnel must contact you concerning your order. Placing orders early in the day facilitates same-day processing
The Capias order and an Order to set Bond (we don’t have a copy of it) was signed today by the Judge for the arrest of TS. You may want to reread the order.
