As reported in the beginning of the month, the Los Angeles Police Department closed its investigation of Michael Jackson’s death and the case went straight to the District Attorney.

Dr. Conrad Murray – the doctor who has been under investigation ever since the death of the singer – will now face criminal charges from the Los Angeles District Attorney.

The investigation has gone on for over seven months and while members of the LAPD still haven’t met with the D.A. to present the case, the deputy D.A. assigned to the investigation has reportedly been working with detectives on the case.

Murray was Jackson’s personal physician at the time of the singer’s death on June 25, which was believed to have been caused by the a lethal mix of drugs including Propofol, a strong sedative used most commonly for anesthesia.

Many people – including authorities – believe Murray’s medical negligence played a role in Jackson’s death. There’s a good chance Murray could be charged with manslaughter as early as next week.

Finally! An end to this madness…

Joe Jackson, Michael Jackson’s father, told a reporter last night at the BET Awards that he was concerned about Dr. Conrad Murray’s role in Michael Jackson’s death. Although mum is the word, I would imagine like any father, Joe would have thought Dr. Murray should have called 911 right away instead of waiting. Dr. Conrad was investigated during the weekend and was said to have cooperated with police.

Case of medical malpractice? We’ll have to wait about four to six weeks for the autopsy. Supposedly, the Jackson family is having a second autopsy done.
