Culture: District Attorney: Conrad Murray charges “totally false”

Culture: Source: Michael Jackson’s doctor gave him a lethal dose

  • The doctor gave him Diprivan, and that did him in.

Last week, authorities were looking in Murray’s office in Houston, supposedly for evidence of manslaughter. So yeah, put that in your pipe and smoke it.
