Headline Story:
Michael Jackson doctor hires lawyer as family hires pathologist
By: Andrew Gumbel in Los Angeles | www.guardian.co.uk | Sunday 28 June 2009 | 20.48 BST
The doctor who was with Michael Jackson when he died has hired a notoriously aggressive lawyer and is insisting he has done nothing wrong as the singer's death appeared to open rifts between his family and other players in his complicated life.
The lawyer, Matt Alford, described on his own website as an "intimidating bad ass" who goes about his work "with a scorched-earth mentality", went on television with an impassioned defence of his client, Conrad Murray, underlining that he was just a witness and not a suspect.
LA police issued a brief statement after talking to Murray on Saturday, saying he had been cooperative and provided "information which will aid the investigation".
Murray was with Jackson when he suffered a heart attack at his home in Los Angeles on Thursday. His lawyer said the doctor found Jackson in his bed with a faint pulse, but not breathing, so he immediately began administering CPR. An official postmortem failed to determine the cause of death, pending toxicology tests that could take four to six weeks.
The Jackson family hired a private pathologist to conduct a second postmortem examination over the weekend and hinted that they might use the results to press for criminal charges – something the official police investigation has ruled out for the moment.
The family questioned whether the doctor had carried out resuscitation attempts properly, pointing out that on the tape of the emergency call requesting an ambulance he was described as "pumping" Jackson on a bed, not on the floor or another hard surface.
However, the Los Angeles Times quoted a source close to the investigation as saying the police had completed an "extensive interview" on Saturday night with the doctor and that detectives found "no red flag" during discussions about the death. "There was no smoking gun," the source told the paper.
As tributes to the star flooded in, White House adviser David Axelrod said Barack Obama had written a letter to Jackson's family expressing his condolences.
He told NBC: "The president obviously believes that Michael Jackson was an important and magnificent performer and obviously he led a sad life in many ways as well, but his impact is undeniable."
