Not only are things looking very menacing for Michael Jackson’s doctor, Conrad Murray, I’ve learned the expected indictment of the King of Pop’s personal physician is causing quite the stir within the Jackson family.
”There’s a lot of finger pointing,” said a longtime family associate Monday. ”Everyone from Jermaine to Joe to Katherine Jackson herself are blaming all kinds of people — including each other — for not stepping in earlier, when it was obvious Michael was being overmedicated even more than usual.”
After reports surfaced Monday that the Los Angeles County coroner had ruled Jackson’s death a homicide, ”you could almost hear the squeak of the rope in the noose tightening around Murray’s neck,” said the Jackson source.
The metaphor seemed apt, as the coroner’s long-awaited forensic tests determined a fatal combination of drugs given to the music superstar hours before he died included the powerful anesthetic propofol, along with two other sedatives Murray has admitted administering to Jackson.
The doctor had told authorities he had been giving Jackson 50 milligrams of propofol every night intravenously, but was afraid Jackson had become addicted to the drug and was attempting to wean him off it by lowering the dosage and combining it with two other sedatives. The morning Jackson died, Murray said he had tried to induce sleep by giving him other drugs over a period of nearly 12 hours, before finally submitting to Jackson’s demand for propofol.
• La Toya, Janet and Randy Jackson are said to be furious about various ”side deals” Jermaine and Joe have been making regarding various endorsements and plans for Michael tributes.
”It’s got everybody crazy angry,” within the family, said my longtime source, who adds Jackson family attorneys have told Joe and Jermaine to ”back off.”
