Jackson Police Probe is 'Criminal,' D.A. Says
The LAPD's probe into Michael Jackson's death is a criminal investigation -- according to the L.A. County District Attorney's office.
As we have already reported, multiple law enforcement sources say the LAPD is treating Jackson's death as a homicide.
Although a spokesperson for the LAPD characterizes its probe as a "death investigation," L.A. County D.A. spokesperson Sandi Gibbons says, "There have been conversations by District Attorney personnel with police and Coroner officials in connection with the ongoing investigation. It is common for Los Angeles County law enforcement agencies to be in contact with the District Attorney's office during criminal investigations." (emphasis added).
As we reported, LAPD detectives are treating Jackson's death as a homicide and focusing on Dr. Conrad Murray. Law enforcement sources tell us there is powerful evidence showing that Dr. Murray administered Propofol to Jackson and that drug was the primary cause of his death.
