X17 XCLUSIVE - Dr. Conrad Murray's Lawyer Says His Client Will NOT Turn Himself In
Posted on Wed Feb 3rd, 2010 9:51am PDT By X17 Staff
X17 was at Dr. Conrad Murray's attorney's office this morning to try to get to the bottom of recent reports that his client would be turning himself in today to face charges of involuntary manslaughter in the death of Michael Jackson.
J. Michael Flanagan (who happens to have represented Britney Spears for hit-and-run charges in late 2007), told X17online that his client, Dr. Conrad Murray, would NOT be turning himself in today at the criminal courthouse in downtown Los Angeles or anywhere else.
Flanagan avoided answering our questions about his client's guilt and wouldn't comment on whether he would request a plea bargain for Murray. He said the District Attorney had not advised him of any plan to formally charge the doctor.
Murray is expected to face manslaughter charges stemming from what the LA Coroner ruled an overdose of the anesthetics Propofol and Lorazepam as the cause of Michael Jackson's death on June 25 last year.
Murray, a cardiologist, was Jackson's personal physician. He admitted giving sedatives to Jackson but denied wrongdoing. Check out our exclusive video below to see what else Flanagan had to say:
