Straight Talk with John J Nazarian, Nazarian is going to explain to us not living in California why both sides were not happy today, and why did Judge Pastor hint that the D. A. office might have sought second degree murder?
Because of the “realignment” of how cases are sorted in California, what Dr. Murray was found guilty of is not something that Judge Pastor had the ability to send Dr. Murray to state prison for even ONE day, the sentence HAS to be in County Jail which we know is letting prisoners go early on “none violent” convictions. Dr. Conrad Murray’s conviction in relation to the death of Michael Jackson is considered under California sentencing guidelines as a “none violent crime”, therefore the most that Judge Pastor could give Murray was 4 years in county jail.
Murray has already lost his license it appears from what is said in court today. That is what Edward M. Chernoff said while arguing for probation and no jail time. Judge Pastor made it clear he had nothing to do with any lost license to practice when Murray get’s out of L. A. County Jail.
Judge Pastor gave Murray the maximum of 4 years in county jail, so what does that really equal with the crowded county jail and this being a none violent crime by the realignment act passed in 2011? John Nazarian is here to explain that to all who do not live in the land of California criminal courts.
Judge Pastor also ruled in “victim” restitution that Murray pay an $800 restitution fine, $30 court fee, and a $40 criminal assessment fee. Murray must supply DNA to be put in the criminal data base.
However, for now Judge Pastor is not having any of the paying appropriate restitution to Jackson’s children of over $100 million appears for now to be way out of the ball park, even to Judge Pastor; thus Judge Pastor will set a new date for a restitution hearing for Jackson’s children which will be held without Dr. Conrad being present in January.
However using Lindsay Lohan and how many times judges have ordered her to stay for X number of days or months with her to only walk in a day John Nazarian will explain that once the county sheriff takes Murray’s care in his facility today just how long will Dr. Murray really remain an inmate?

Dr Murray found guilty in the death of Michael Jackson and Judge Pastor was quick to revoke bail and remand Dr. Conrad Murray to the Los Angeles Sheriff’s department pending sentencing on Nov. 29, 2011.
The only surprising thing today was the remanding and revoking bail. We all thought Murray would be convicted. John has said on many shows this was like musical chairs and when the music stopped Murray was left standing with the Propoful bottle in his hand.
Murray barely had time to look back at his mother and girlfriend before being taken into custody and whisk out of the court room.
Straight Talk with John J Nazarian guest tonight is Criminal Defense attorney Adam Braun, who has been both a prosecutor and now one of the top criminal attorneys in California. Braun will answer questions of what now? Over crowding in the jails, why the revoking of bail? Can the defense appeal based on Dr. Klein never appeared in trial which was a major set back most say to Murray? Will Murray get house arrest or a retreat like Ryan Bowman did for involuntary manslaughter in the Lauren Freeman case, at camp Seal on the California coast line.
Adam Braun is one of the best criminal defense lawyers in California. Braun is the Principal at Law Offices of Adam H. Braun and was a Federal Prosecutor at the United States Attorney’s Office for over 6 years. The Princeton University graduate represented Dr. Khristine Eroshevich during the lead up to the Anna Nicole Smith trial. Braun was the attorney for one of Anthony Pelicanno’s co-defendants.
In other bizarre interviews we have Dr. Arnold Klein on what looks like his golden throne.
“Dr. Arnold Klein said he personally tried several times to prevent other doctors from administering propofol to Jackson for sleep. “I knew this problem existed,” Klein said in the interview. “I did my best to prevent it. Whenever I could, I prevented it, but I’m only one man and I have to support my own life and take care of myself.”
Klein disputed the argument by Dr. Conrad Murray’s lawyers that he addicted Jackson to Demerol in the months before his death, saying he used only low doses of the painkiller while repairing Jackson’s collapsed nose and jaw line.
Klein described three instances in which he said he was involved in interventions to prevent Jackson from getting propofol, the surgical anesthetic the coroner ruled killed him, although Klein gave no indication of when the incidents occurred.
In the first instance, Klein said he chartered a plane to Las Vegas when he heard Jackson was getting propofol at a hotel where the singer was staying. Klein claimed he threw out the doctor involved to prevent him from giving Jackson the drug. In another encounter in Hawaii, Klein said he and his nurse slept on the floor of Jackson’s room to prevent him from getting propofol from a plastic surgeon.
Klein claimed he once “saved” Jackson in New York when another doctor administered propofol, combined with another drug. It made Jackson go “running down the street,” Klein said. Klein, interviewed in his Beverly Hills home, said that while it was too upsetting to him to watch much of the trial, he watched enough to believe Murray wanted to “make me look like a demon” and “make me as a scapegoat.”
Klein said he began the slow and painful process of rebuilding some of Jackson’s facial skin in early April after his nose collapsed and after he lost his jaw line.

The world waits for the Jury Verdict to come in next week in the Dr. Conrad Murray Trial in the Involuntary Manslaughter charge in the death of Michael Jackson.
What is Dr. Murray and his lead defense attorney Edward Chernoff thinking and doing today, waiting for the jury to come back perhaps as early as tomorrow with a verdict.
Here is the jury instructions for you to read through and decide how tough is this going to be for this jury.
Straight Talk with John J Nazarian guests tonight are Criminal Defense attorney Adam Braun, who has been both a prosecutor and now one of the top criminal attorneys in California. Adam Braun can tell us what the Deputy D. A. David Walgren and his team or doing and thinking today about the upcoming week. Braun can also tell us what it is like as a defense lawyer waiting for the verdict to come in and Braun can give us a pretty good guess as to what Dr. Conrad Murray is doing this weekend except for just praying.
Adam Braun will be joined by two retired homicide detectives who were also partners for a time with the L. A. P. D, Robert Jakucs and William Cox. They can share what the detectives are doing this weekend now that months and months of work is complete and it is just a waiting game at this point.
The radio broadcast will be embedded here soon after it airs live at 7 PM PST – 10 PM EST

The Princeton University graduate represented Dr. Khristine Eroshevich during the lead up to the Anna Nicole Smith trial. Braun was the attorney for one of Anthony Pelicanno’s co-defendants. Braun comes from one of the highest profile families of brilliant criminal attorneys.
Robert A. Jakucs – Retired Homicide Detective of L.A.P.D
Robert A. Jakucs is a retired Los Angeles Police Department Detective with over 30-years of investigative experience. During his distinguished career with the L.A.P.D he worked such high-profile assignments as Homicide, Hollywood Vice, SWAT, Robberies, Burglaries, Complex Thefts, and gang-related shootings. He was a member of the Night Stalker Task Force that investigated the serial murderer Richard Ramirez. Robert Jakucs is also a consultant for national television specializing in private and police investigation issues and has appeared on the news shows Nightline, 20/20 and Inside Edition.
William Cox was a Los Angeles Police Detective who retired in 2007 after 32 years
William Cox worked in a variety of assignments including uniformed patrol, CRASH (gang detail) in South-Central and West Los Angeles areas. He also worked homicides for over 20 years and finished his career in Robbery-Homicide Division (RHD) which handles major cases including serial killers, multiple murders, media and high-profile cases, officer-involved shootings, and assaults and murders on police officers. He also worked the Rampart Corruption Task Force for two years. William Cox was also involved or handled several high-profile cases over the years including the Kimes (mother-son grifters who were responsible for 3 murders in LA, NY, and the Bahamas); the Goetz of the West case; the murder of the pregnant mother at LAX; plus several others.
William Cox has appeared on Investigative Discovery channel, 48 Hours, and E-entertainment. He is currently employed by the US State Dept. as a background investigator.
William Cox’s last case he worked on at RHD was a Chinese immigrant student attending USC who had gone to a frat party and had attempted to pull a gun and start shooting students. He was wrestled to the ground by other students who then called police. After a search warrant was served on the suspect’s apartment Cox and three other detectives were sent to NY City to investigate and attempt to identify approximately 20 persons he had targeted to possibly kill. (This incident occurred shortly after the mass murders at West Virginia Tech.) Cox was also working on a murder where a husband set his car and wife on fire on the Golden State Frwy. Cox had also been working (for the past four years) on a double homicide that had occurred in 2002 wherein two victims were killed in their car and their car set on fire. That murder was the story that 48 Hours has done and shown on television in February 2011.
With this combined years of experience this is a must tune in a listen and even ask a question of two as to what we should expect this coming week of the verdict watch for Dr. Conrad Murray.
Telephone lines are always open to call in, join in the discussion or ask questions of John and his guests, Adam Braun, Robert “Bob” Jakucs and William “Bill” Cox at 818-572-8030 long distances charges do apply.

Dr Drew appears on HLN weeknights at 9 PM EST & PST which is 8 PM CST and MST.
HLN’s Dr. Drew was joined by Dr. Klein’s attorney Garo Ghazarian to discuss Michael Jackson’s alleged addiction to Propofol and how different doctors contributed to or attempted to stem the King of Pop’s use of the drug that ultimately killed him. The two quick talkers exchanged volley after volley of quips and arguments about the medical and legal implications of how Dr. Klein and other doctors were left in the dark about which and how much drugs Michael Jackson was being given.
Dr. Drew said of Murray’s care strategy:
”Insomnia is like saying fever. It’s a symptom. It’s not a diagnosis… My point is that Dr. Murray was treating withdrawal systems, not insomnia. It’s the multiplicity of drugs here is amazing… Murray is the guy at the center of the hurricane. He knew what was going on here. He was the primary care doctor here.”
Ghazarian was quick to point out that his client was not in the least aware of what was happening:
“Why do you think Dr. Klein is furious with Dr. Murray? It’s because he didn’t know his existence!”
The final arguments should be completed today. How long do you think the jury will be out? If convicted that Dr. Conrad Murray might serve any sentence under home arrest with an ankle bracelet? Do you think he will see the inside of prison in California?

Dr Drew appears on HLN weeknights at 9 PM EST & PST which is 8 PM CST and MST.
Demerol – a powerful narcotic, and part of the loosely-managed drug regimen leading up to Michael Jackson’s Death.
The question is – did abuse of this drug stoke a cycle of addiction that ended with fatal levels of the surgical anesthetic propofol? And more importantly – were Michael Jackson’s doctors to blame for this haphazard use of pharmaceuticals? According to Dr. Drew, the answer to both questions is a resounding ‘Yes.’
Calling into his own show (guest-hosted by In Session’s Ryan Smith) Dr. Drew lays down a passionate, razor-sharp condemnation of the use of Demoral on Michael Jackson for cosmetic procedures. He explains that it sparked a cycle of dependency and suppression of withdrawal symptoms with cross-tolerant drugs, including propofol.
Even more egregious according to Dr. Drew – providing Demoral to a self-described addict – Jackson admitted in 1993 to opiate addiction.
After Dr. Drew’s explanation, a fiery debate ensued with the Lawyer for Michael Jackson dermatologist Andrew Klein. Attorney Gara Ghazarian argued that Jackson was in fact not addicted to Demoral, as evidenced by the long gaps in his use of the drug.
Dr. Drew responds that during those days of abstinence, Jackson was suppressing withdrawal using other drugs, hence the snowballing of pharmaceutical substance abuse, culminating in the death of the pop legend.

What do you think? Could Michael Jackson have caused his own death? What do all you think about the latest news that Dr. Conrad Murray might serve any sentence under home arrest with an ankle bracelet? Do you think he will see the inside of prison in California? Is a conviction possible or can the defense still pull this out as Jackson’s killing himself because he was an addict?
Do you think the jury is picking up the fact that it is now Judge Michael Pastor is objecting to the Deputy D. A. Walgren’s cross examination of Dr. White? Will Walgren be able to destroy Dr. Paul White as needed for the “beyond a reasonable doubt” that Walgren MUST do or will he alienate the jury by “picking on a witness” he did not choose? Remember the defense handled Dr. Shafer with respect, will this backfire on Walgren?

On Thursday and Friday the defense of Dr. Conrad Murray led by Edward Chernoff with medical special attorney Michael Flannigan.
Dr. Robert Waldman an addiction medicine specialist said Dr. Arnold Klein’s records from treating Michael Jackson show the King of Pop was receiving “large” doses of the powerful painkiller Demerol for seemingly no reason. He also said based on the testimony of Jackson personal assistant and the head of Jackson’s security it appeared that Dr. Arnold Klein had not turned over all of his medical records that the Judge Michael Pastor had ordered those records be produced. I found that very interesting.
Chernoff displayed the Klein’s records for treating “Omar Arnold,” one of Jackson’s many aliases. The records showed Klein injected the singer with Botox and Restylane, drugs used for smoothing wrinkles. Dr. Klein also treated Jackson to reduce “excessive perspiration” by injecting Botox into his groin and armpits. “Groin”? OHCH!!!!
During an intense cross examination Thursday, by Deputy D. A. David Walgren,Dr. Robert Waldman accused Walgren of putting words in his mouth. Walgren seemed to be trying to imply that because Dr. Waldman also practices dialysis, he may not be most knowledgeable expert for this case. Dr. Waldman testified earlier that Michael Jackson was dependent on the painkiller Demerol. Is that like asking Walgren how many first degree murder trials he’s tried?
Dr. Paul White the “God Father of Propoful testified today.
Dr. White testified that lollipops laced with propofol may be an effective way to sedate patients without having to give them an IV, because the anesthetic can be absorbed through the tissues in the mouth. Blood testing of one of the subjects from Dr. Shafer’s study showed the presence of propofol. Dr. White said this could have been the due to absorption through the tissues in the subject’s mouth. Dr. White also said he agreed that Dr. Murray should have never left Michael Jackson’s side while giving Jackson propofol.
What do all you think about the latest news that Dr. Conrad Murray might serve any sentence under home arrest with an ankle bracelet? Do you think he will see the inside of prison in California? Is a conviction possible or can the defense still pull this out as Jackson’s killing himself because he was an addict?

On Monday night’s show of Dr. Drew, which airs Monday – Friday at 9 PM EST – 8 PM CST on HLN; Dr. Drew was joined by truTV’s In Session host Ryan Smith to discuss the latest in the Conrad Murray trial, as the state rested its case on Monday. The defense called Dr. Allan Metzger to the stand on Monday to show the jury that Michael Jackson was seeking and getting drugs from other doctors at the same time Dr. Conrad Murray was working as his full-time physician. Defense lawyers will use this week to challenge the prosecution’s contention that Dr. Conrad Murray’s alleged reckless use of propofol to help Jackson sleep makes him criminally responsible for the King of Pop star’s death. But when the prosecution began questioning Dr. Metzger, his testimony appeared to be working in their favor at certain points.
Ryan Smith was quick to comment on Metzger’s statements:
“It just goes to show that even with this witness being a defense witness, he [Dr. Metzger] came off like a prosecution witness because he said ‘no matter what was going on here, I never would have done what Conrad Murray did,’ and he said he wouldn’t do it for money. That really hammered home a point.”
Dr. Drew explained:
”They’re trying to prove negligence, but doing very little conversation about the quality of medical care … I get so frustrated with this case. I have to tell you. I have a thing I keep on hand to remind me how outrageous it was, This man, Michael Jackson, went to bed every night with this because he was so sedated that he couldn’t function. He couldn’t get up to go to the bathroom. As an addictionologist – all the multiple prescribing doctors not communicating with each other – bad timing – Michael Jackson got the worst my profession has to offer.”
What do you think? Did Dr. Metzger’s testimony help or hurt the defense’s case?
What do all you think about the latest news that Dr. Conrad Murray might serve any sentence under home arrest with an ankle bracelet?
